Here are the seven activities of all living things. If you remember that someone has an
auntie called MRS GREN you will be able to remember all seven activities.

Most of this is common sense. You can move around from place to place and so can most
animals. A few animals like barnacles can only do this when they are young larvae. Adult
barnacles are firmly stuck onto the rock, but they can still move their legs to catch
food. Animals move to:
|
|
find shelter, |
|
|
escape from predators and other danger, |
|
|
find food, |
|
|
find a mate. |
Respiration is the release of energy from glucose or another organic chemical in our
cells. Respiration happens in ALL living things.
Sensitivity is very important. How would you know if something was fit te eat if you
could not smell or taste it? How would you escape danger?
Growth ------ we all do it.
Reproduction: this is fun or is it hard work?
Excretion means getting rid of the poisonous waste products from the chemical reactions
in our bodies. We breathe out carbon dioxide and we urinate.
Nutrition. We have to eat to provide the materials for growth, repair and to provide us
with energy.
Now write out your revision index card. The red words go on one side and the blue words
on the other.
