NON-LIVING THINGS

LIVING THINGS

Living things are born.


Living things grow .
Living things die.
Living things perform the
three vital functions:
NUTRITION
RELATION
REPRODUCTION

SEA
STONES

Non-living things arent born.


Non-living things dont grow .
Non-living things dont die.
Non-living things dont perform
the three vital functions.

How can we classify living thing?


We can classify living things into five groups known
as kingdoms. These five kingdoms are formed by
plants, fungi, animals, algae and protist and bacteria.

How can we classify living things?


We can classify living things into five kingdoms.
These five kingdoms are formed by
plants, fungi, animals, algae and protist and bacteria.

Plant kingdom

Plants use air, water and light to make their food.


Plants dont have sense organs.
Plants cannot move from one place to another
because they are attached to the ground
by their roots.

What do plants use to make their own food?


Plants use air, water and sunlight to make their own food.
Why cant plants move?

Plants cant move because they are attached to the ground by their roots.

What are the parts of a plant?


The parts of a plant are stems, leaves and roots.

Parts of a plant
Leaves make food
for the plant.
The petiole connect the
blade and the stem.
The blade is the flat part
of the leaf.

STEM

The stem grow above the ground.


The stem supports branches and leaves.
The stem carries water and minerals.
The stem transports nutrients to other
part of the plant.
The stem of a tree is called a TRUNK.

ROOTS
The petiole

The blade

Roots grow underground.


Roots keep the plant fixed
in one place.
Roots absorb water and
minerals to make food.

The vital functions of a plants


Plants perform three vital functions in order to grow and live.

Interaction

Nutrition:

Plants can react to


the environment.
Some plants move
towards the sun.

Plants make their food .

Reproduction
Photosynthesis:
Plants absorb sunlight,
carbon dioxide,
water and minerals.
Plants release oxygen
into air.

Respiration:
Plants absorb oxygen.
Plants release carbon
dioxide into air.

Plants reproduce by seeds.


Plants reproduce by a piece
of the same plant.

What three vital functions do plants perform in order to grow and live?

Plants perform three vital functions in order to grow


and live. These vital functions are nutrition, interaction
and reproduction.

Plant classification

Flowering plants
They reproduce through
flower, fruits or seeds.

They dont have flowers,


fruits or seeds.
They reproduce through spores.
Mosses and ferns are
non- flowerings plants.

FERN (helecho)

Woody and herbaceous plants

Woody plants

Herbaceous plants

Woody plants have hard stem.

Woody plants are divided into:


Trees
bushes
Birch
wild rose

Herbaceous plants have


thin and flexible stems.

Wheat

Daisies

Fungi get their food from other living things.


They dont have sense organs.
They cant move from one place to another.

Fungi

mould
mushrooms
Other fungi are microscopic
. For exmaple yeast.
They cant be seen with the naked eye.

Where do fungi get their food from?


Fungi get their food from other living things.

Animals

Find food

Animals get their food


from other living things.

Find shelter

Most animals can move around in order to

Some animals give birth to their young.


Reproduce.

Other animals lay eggs.

Why do most animals move around?

Most animals move around in order to find food,


shelter and reproduce.

Animals carry out three vital functions in order to live and grow.

NUTRITION
Animals need energy that come from food.
Food contains nutrients. Through the process
of nutrition animals transform nutrients into
energy.

Omnivore animals

Animals cannot make their own food.


Herbivore animals get their food from plants.
Carnivore animals get their food by eating
other animals.
Omnivore animals get their food from animals
and plants .

Carnivore animals

Where do herbivores, carnivores and omnivores get their


food from?
Herbivores get their food from plants, carnivores get their
food from other animals and omnivores get their food from
animals and plants.

Reproduction

Relation
Human beings and animals
interact with the world around
them.
When animals are hungry,
they hunt other animals.

Living things can make other living things.


Lions get birth to lions cubs.

This process is known as reproduction.


types of reproduction
Oviparous
viviparous

Animal classification.
Animals can be verbebrate or invertebrate

Vertebrate animals have backbone.


Vertebrate animals have an internal skeleton.
Vertebrete animals have a lot of bones.
Vertebrete animals can be oviparous and viviparous.
Nearly all vertebrate animals have limbs such as feet,
wings and fins.

backbone

Invertebrate animals.
Invertebrate animals dont have internal
skeleton or bones.
All invertebrate animals are oviparous.

A snail is an invertebrate animal.


A snail is an oviparous animal.

Algae are protist.

Algae
Algae live in water.
Algae dont have roots or leaves.

Algae make their own food.

Protists
Protozoa are microscopic protists that feed on other living things.
Protozoa can live in different habitats.
Ameboa and paramecium are examples of protozoa.

ameboa

Bateria
Bacteria are microscopic organisms that can live in different habitats.
Some bacteria make their own food.
Other bacteria get their food from other beings.

Ecosystems
A Habitat is the place where it is natural for an animal,
plant or other organism to live within an ecosystem.

Different habitats have


different conditions such
as temperatura, light, air,
water or type of soil.
These conditions are
known as an environment.
All living things interact in an ecosystem

A population is made up of all of the


Individuals that belong to the same
species.

A community is made up of
various populations that depend
on one another in a particular
habitat.

community

An ecosystem is made up of
all the living things
that inhabit a particular place.

Food chain
A food chain shows the feeding relationship
between the different organisms within an ecosystem.
The lion eats the deer.
The deer eats the
plant.
The plant needs water,
air and sunlinght to
grow .
