Biological Science

Year 4: 
​Living things have life cycles (ACSSU072)
Living things depend on each other and the environment to survive (ACSSU073)


Year 5:
Living things have structural features and adaptations that help them to survive in their environment (ACSSU043)


You will need 2 PPTs for Science this term. One will be for your definitions and the other will contain your work.

TASK 1: Watch the Video

TASK 2: 

 Use Powerpoint to create a slideshow with the definitions of these words. ​ (You will add more words as we move through the unit)

 TASK 3: Biomes
What are the 5 main types of Biomes in the World? Create a page in your slide show for each. What are their main features (plants/ animals/ climate etc)

 Find more information about the types of Biomes here or in the following video.

Extension Activity: Choose a Biome to research further. Open a Minecraft Biome 'World' and create an informative pathway through the Biome, commenting on the plant life/ land features, climate and animals.

Life Cycles


All plants and animals have LIFE CYCLES.

A life cycle is a series of stages/changes an organism (living thing) goes through during its life. 

​

Metamorphosis

Metamorphosis is a process some animals go through to become adults. It is a series of physical changes.

Insects, spiders and amphibians all go through Metamorphosis

There are 2 types: Complete Metamorphosis and Incomplete Metamorphosis

Mammals do not go through Metamorphosis.

Food Webs/ Food Chains

All organisms need energy to grow and survive
Where do we get energy from?

Plants get their energy from the sun via a process called PHOTOSYNTHESIS

Animals get their energy from either eating plants (HERBIVORES), eating other animals (CARNIVORES) or both (OMNIVORES).

A FOOD WEB shows who eats who, and how the energy flows.

All energy can be traced back to PRODUCERS
They produce their own food via photosynthesis

CONSUMERS eat other organisms
(Herbivores, Carnivores, Omnivores 
​& Decomposers-eat dead matter)

Adaptations


An ADAPTATION is a special skill which helps an animal to SURVIVE  and do everything it needs to do.
​
Adaptations could be 
physical changes to the animals body or behavioural changes in how an individual animal or a society do things in their daily lives or ​physiological. 

Behavioural Adaptations

Innate behaviors are ones the animal is born with.
​
Learned behaviors are just that -- learned -- and animals will acquire them throughout life.
Types of Behavioural Adaptations

Camouflage

Communal Living

Hibernation

Migration

Mimicry

Nocturnality
