Unicellular and multicellular classification table Multicellular Unicellular Bacteria Monera Kingdom Amoeba Protist Kingdom @ copy and complete the table in your notebook. Which kingdom in the table can be both unicellular and multicellular? @ Alex wants to add the word algae to the table. Which kingdom does it belong to? Under which column should it go? @ some bacteria can cause health problems. What can we do to prevent them?All living things are made up of tiny units called cells. Cells are the building blocks of life and perform the life processes of nutrition, reproduction and interaction, red blood cells Cells need to take in nutrients to survive. They reproduce by dividing again and again. Cells interact by working together with other cells that perform the same function Cells can be different shapes and sizes. Different cells carry out different functions. Blood cells look very different from nerve cells. nerve cells Gow are living things organised? - A cell is the smallest living unit. Cells work together to form tissue, Muscle tissue is made up of many muscle cells, Tissue works together to form organs. The heart has different types of tissue which work together to perform a particular function. Organs that group together form systems, such as the circulatory system, When all the systerns work together, they form an organism, or living thing. from the simplest @ which organs group together to form most complex. the circulatory system? What about the digestive and respiratory systems?Ghe ife processes of living things All living things perform the same life processes: nutrition, interaction, reproduction, respiration, excretion, growth and movement. Nutrition Plants make their own food using photosynthesis. Animals feed on other living things. Decomposers, such as fungi and bacteria, feed on dead = plants and animals Respiration Animals take in oxygen from the air or from water. In the day, plants produce their own oxygen through photosynthesis. At night, they also have to take in oxygen from the air. they are different. Plants and animals are both living things. Explain how. Interaction Al living things interact with their environment. Animals move, communicate and react to the world around them. Plants react to water and light. Excretion Animals expel the remains of food that they do not need They also excrete other harmful substances such as carbon dioxide, sweat and urine from their bodies. Reproduction Most animals are oviparous, which means they lay eggs. Most plants reproduce using seeds, Some plants, such as ferns and mosses, reproduce using spores Growth and movement Plants do not stop growing but animals only grow until they become mature. Most animals can move from place to place. Plants cennot move from place to place, but they can move towards light or water.Living things can be classified into five groups called kingdoms. The organisms in one kingdom share the same characteristics and are different from organisms in other kingdoms. The Monera Kingdom All living things in the Monera Kingdom are unicellular. They can live on land, in water, in the air and even inside other living things. Bacteria belong to the Monera Kingdom. Some bacteria feed on dead plants and animals. The Protist Kingdom Most living things in the Protist Kingdom are unicellular. Most protiss live in water. Amoeba cells are unicellular protists. They take in food by absorbing it Algae are protists that can be unicellular or multicellular. Like plants, they make their own food through photosynthesis. The Fungus Kingdom Living things in the Fungus Kingdom can be unicellular or multicellular. Yeast is an example of a unicellular organism, while mushrooms are multicellular. Mould is also a type of multicellular fungi. Fungi cannot make their ‘own food and they cannot move, They take the nutrients they need from dead plants or animals. _ @ caassi ‘organisms: mould, butterfly, yeast, rose, bactei e, penguin, grass, toadstool. @ in what ways are bacteria and fungi similar?The Animal Kingdom The Plant Kingdom Animals are multicellular. They cannot make Plants are multicellular. They make their own their own food so they feed on ather living food by taking energy from the Sun. This process, things, Most animals can move around and they is called photosynthesis. During this process, use their senses to interact with their plants produce oxygen, which they release into environment. Animals take in oxygen and release _—_the air. Plants cannot move but they can react to carbon dioxide through the process of respiration. _certain stimuli in their environment, such as water We can classify animals into two groups and light. We can classify plants into two groups vertebrates and invertebrates. flowering and non-flowering plants. Yeast can be used to make a variety of food products such as bread, cereals, cakes and soup. Itis also used to make beer and wine. Yeast can also be harmful and can cause infections. @ A mushroom looks like a plant. Why can we not classify it as part of the Plant Kingdom? @ Explain how the organisms in the Plant Kingdom and the Animal Kingdom help each other. @ Viruses are microscopic and can cause illnesses. Find out why scientists do not classify them as living things.We can see a variety of ‘* Notebook living things in our local # Pencil area * Colouring materials # Magnifying glass # Camera @s (optional) Observe and classify living things in your local area. 1 2 3 Look for living things in Find information about Classify your living things _ your local area, Examine how the living things into different kingdoms them closely with a perform the vital life and add information magnifying glass.

Bees are in danger of disappearing from our environment. No one knows exactly why this is happening. People think they are disappearing because of global warming, contaminated water or the use of pesticides on crops. It is essential that we try to stop bees from disappearing; they are important for many reasons. > Bees pollinate over 100 Bees also pollinate the Bees make honey, which we different fruit and vegetable _—_flowers of plants that become _eat.. Honey is also used for crops. food for farm animals medicinal purposes. @ Help protect bees Create a bee-friendly garden or balcony. Piant flowers to provide nutrition for the bees and put out water for the bees to drink. This can be a shallow dish of water, but remember to add some pebbles to help the bees dimb out, if you can, provide an area of long grass to give the bees shelter from the rain. @ Bees are important pollinators. What do you think would happen if all bees disappeared? @ investigate other invertebrates that help us. In groups, make a poster about the importance of invertebrates. @ Find out what you should do if you or someone else is stung by a bee.@© copy and complete.
