Study Notes
Living and Non-living Things
- Living things are organisms that grow, reproduce, and respond to their environment.
- Non-living things do not possess these characteristics.
Characteristics of Living things
- Living things grow and develop over time.
- They reproduce to create new life.
- They respond to stimuli in their environment.
Grouping Living Things: Plant Kingdom
- Plants are classified into different types based on characteristics.
- Examples of plants include trees, flowers, and ferns.
Grouping Living Things: Animal Kingdom
- Animals are classified based on their characteristics.
- Some common classifications include mammals, birds, and reptiles.
- Mammals are warm-blooded animals that have fur or hair, give birth to live young, and nurse their offspring.
- Birds are warm-blooded animals that have feathers and wings, lay eggs, and have beaks.
- Reptiles are cold-blooded animals that have scales and lay eggs.
Needs of Living Things
- Living things need air, water, food, and shelter to survive.
Basic Needs Explained
- Air: Provides oxygen for respiration and carbon dioxide for plants during photosynthesis.
- Water: Crucial for hydration, nutrient transport, and temperature regulation.
- Food: Provides energy and nutrients for growth and reproduction.
- Shelter: Provides protection from weather, predators, and environmental hazards.
Wants vs. Needs
- Wants are desires for things we would like to have but are not essential for survival.
- Needs are essential for survival and include air, water, food, and shelter.
Life Processes of Living Things
- Nutrition: How living things obtain food
- Respiration: How living things release energy from food
- Excretion: How living things remove waste products
- Growth: How living things develop and increase in size
- Reproduction: How living things create new life
- Response: How living things react to changes in their environment.
