MOST Important

Dos and Don’ts about Zoom sessions

1)If zoom is not working (either Audio or video) on your laptop or desktop, then the
problem is with your network or device.

2)Student should strictly keep audio and video both on mute during the session. If any
of the student's video is on, then reception will be poor.

3)At the end of the session student will be given separate time to ask questions.

4)Parents should give clear instructions to students on remaining mute, not scratching
screen as it's disturbing online class.

5)Please note that all above online etiquettes need to be followed by everyone to get
100% from online sessions.

6)Last imp message Zoom allows one session of 30 minutes, so the first session ends
after 30 min, we can start next session just with a gap of 1 or 2 min. So you can join
the next session just by clicking same link
Living and Nonliving
 Characteristics of Living things
1. Feeding/Eating – to obtain energy
2. Movement – internal and/or external
3. Respiration – exchange gases with the environment
4. Growth and Development – Living things become larger and/or more complicated
as they grow.

5. Responsiveness – Living things react to changes around them.

6. Reproduction – All living things produce young.
7. Excretion – All living things need to remove waste from their bodies.
8. Adaptation – Develop certain characteristics that helps a living organism survive in its
environment

9. Cellular Structure – All living organisms are made up of cells

 Feeding and Nutrition
• Why do living things need food?
• Why do we need energy?
• Do plants also need energy?
• How do plants get their food?
 Movement
• Do plants show
movement?

• Why do animals
move?
 Respiration
• Respiration and Breathing – are they same?
• Do plants also breathe?
 Growth and Development
• Why do you mean by you are growing?
• Is there a difference between growth in plants
and animals?
 Responsiveness

• Response to Stimuli
 Excretion
• What does it
mean?
• Do plants also
have waste
products?
 Reproduction
• Creating more of their own kind
• Why do living things reproduce?
– Without reproduction, life would come to an end
• Two methods in plants
– Sexual (formation of seed)
– Asexual or Vegetative (no seed is formed)
• Cell division
• Spore formation (Fern, Fungi)
 Adaptation
• Plants and animals learn to survive and
reproduce in its environment.
– Birds – Woodpecker, Duck
– Animals – Camel, Polar bear
 Cellular Structure
• The structural and functional unit of a living
thing is cell
• Plant and Animal Cells – are they same ?
• Is there an organism with a single cell?
• How many cells do we have?
• Are all cells in our body same?
• What happens when multiple cells connect
together?
Similarity between Living and nonliving

• Made up of matter
• Have mass, occupy space and have shape
• Made up of structural units
Do some nonliving things appear like living
things?
Some nonliving things may show some characteristics
of living things but are they really living?
 A snowball may increase in size due to the accumulation of
smaller units of its own to its outer surface.
 A rock may roll down a hill (moves) but it isn’t living
 Types of Nonliving things
• Those which were once part of a living
thing
Examples – Leather, Silk, Cotton, Jute

• Those which were never part of a living

thing
Examples – Metal, Plastic
