  3. 1. Growth • All living things grow • As we get older we grow taller • All the animals and plants can grow • Non-Living Things e.g. A book – can’t grow

  4. 2. Nutrition • All living things need food this process is called NUTRITION • Most Green Plants make their own food from sunlight in a process called PHOTOSYNTHESIS

  5. 2. Nutrition • All animals must eat food to get their energy • Carnivores – eat only other animals • Herbivores – eat only plants • Omnivores – Eat both animals and plants

  6. 3. Respiration • Plants and Animals need oxygen gas to release energy from food in a process called RESPIRATION • Animals get their oxygen by breathing in and out

  7. 3. Respiration • Plants get the necessary gases by let it pass in and out of its LEAVES

  15. Classifying Animals • We can further classify animals into 2 main groups • Vertebrates and Invertebrates

  16. Vertebrates • Vertebrates are animals which have a backbone • From this backbone all the other bones are supported • The name comes from the bones of the spine called the VERTEBRAE

  17. Invertebrates • Invertebrates are animals which have no backbone • In fact they have no bones at all!
