Unit 1_Living Things

Animals and plants are multicellular.
Animals get the energy by feeding on other animals.
Plants perform the photosynthesis. In this process, plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen.

Protists and fungi can be unicellular or multicellular. Algae are protists and they perform the photosyntesis.
Yeast and mushrooms are fungus

Organisms of the Monera Kingdom are unicellular.Bacteria belong to this kingdom.

LIVING THINGS_INTRODUCTION

Living things are made up of cells. Depending on the number of the cells they have, they can be UNICELLULAR or MULTICELLULAR. 

Living things perform three vital functions: reproduction, nutrition and respiration.

Living things are classified in KINGDOMS: monera, protists, animals, plants and fungus.

Unit 1_ ECOSYSTEMS_ Elements of ecosystems and types of interaction

ECOSYSTEM: community of all the living and non-living things that live in an area. 

ELEMENTS OF ECOSYSTEMS:

1. Fauna: animal life
2. Flora: plant life
3. Habitat: natural home of a living thing.
4. Population: organisms of the *SAME SPECIES that live in the same area.
5. Community: when populations interact with each other, they form a community.

             TYPES OF INTERACTION:

• Between the same species

Zebras live in herds* for protection

                                                                                                                                          *Herds: rajada(valencià)/manada(castellà)
                                                                                                                   *Same species: mateixa espècie

• Between different species

Unit 1_LIVING THINGS (SONG)

Living things, all they are born, 

they also grow, reproduce and die.

Remember!

Non-living things don't do that...

they can be man-made or natural.

(unit_2)Simple machines: types of levers

LEVERS

There are three types of levers: class 1, class 2 and class 3.

There are three main parts: point of support or fulcrum, resistance or load and force or effort


Class 1 lever:

The fulcrum is in the middle. It is between the force and the resistance.

Examples: Scissors and pliers

Class 2 lever:

The load or resistance is in the middle.

Examples: wheel barrels and nutcrackers

WHEELBARROW

NUTCRACKER

Class 3 lever:

The force or effort is in the middle.
Examples: stapler and tweezers
