Generate criteria to sort living things. Sort living things into a Venn diagram. Sort living things into a Carroll diagram.  Life Processes All living things are We can remember sometimes called life processes by ‘organisms’. thinking about Mrs Gren. All of these organisms share certain characteristics. All living things do certain things to stay alive. These are called life processes. All animals, including humans, do these things. Plants do too, although they do them in different ways.  Life Processes Movement Respiration MRS GREN Sensitivity Growth Reproduction Excretion Nutrition  Life Processes Movement. A hare runs to escape from danger. Animals move around to get from place to place. Plants grow and turn towards the A sunflower light. moves to turn its face towards the sun.  Life Processes Land animals breathe Respiration oxygen through their mouths or noses. Sea creatures breathe oxygen dissolved in Plants and the water through their animals both gills. Both types of use oxygen gas creature then use this from the air to oxygen in their turn their food into energy. body for respiration. This is called Plants both respire and respiration. photosynthesise. While photosynthesis happens when the plant is in light, plants respire by taking in oxygen and giving out carbon dioxide during darkness.  Life Processes Sensitivity Animals use their senses to see, hear, taste, touch and smell the Every living world around thing can them. detect changes in their Plants can surroundings. also detect changes in the environment. This mimosa plant curls up when you touch it!  Life Processes This ocean Growth mola started life as an egg not much bigger than a full stop.

We can use these similarities and differences to sort the living things into groups.  Grouping Living Things Here the organisms have been sorted into two groups. We have used a diagram to represent these groups. plants anima ls Grouping Living Things  Grouping Living Things This is called a Venn Diagram. Where does a cactus go in this diagram? How about a polar bear? plants lives in the desert  Grouping Living Things This is a Carroll Diagram. Lives in water Lives on land Has legs Crab Horse Sea otter Spider Does Whale Snake not have Fish Worm legs Could you put a plant in this diagram? What about a dandelion? Or seaweed?  Criteria We have asked some questions to sort our living things into groups so far. We sometimes call these criteria, which means a rule that we use to decide something. Plant or animal. Lives in the desert or does not live in the desert. Has legs or does not have legs. Lives on the land or lives in the water. Today, you are going to be sorting animals. With a partner, think of different groups that you could sort animals into. Think of as many different groups as you can.  Sorting into Three Groups Lays eggs Venn diagrams snake can be used to sort lots of groups of animals. penguin dragonfly butterfly duck Where would a kangaroo parrot turtle go on this diagram? human bat Has two legs Can fly
