THINGS
ANIMAL KINGDOM

• Animals can move. They eat


plants or other animals, but they
cannot make their own food.
• Invertebrates, such as worms and
spiders, do not have a spine.
• Vertebrates, such as cats, birds,
and snakes, have a spine. Human
beings also belong to this group.
PLANT KINGDOM
FUNGI KINGDOM
• Fungi cannot move. They get
food from the remains of other
living things. Their appearance is
similar to plants. However, they
cannot make their won food, so
they do not need sunlight.
• Mushrooms are fungi.
• The mold that we see on
decaying food is also a fungus.
