ALL ABOUT ANIMALS What Do Animals Need to Live? Animals need to drink water. Animals need to eat food too. Some animals eat plants. Some animals eat other animals. Some animals eat plants AND other animals. Animals need to breathe air. © Copyright NewPath Learning. All Rights Reserved. Permission is granted for the purchaser to print copies for non-commercial educational purposes only. Visit us at www.NewPathLearning.com.

Animals also need shelter. A shelter is a place that keeps animals safe from bad weather and from animals that may hurt them. How do Animals Get Food? Animals need to find their own food. Animals use their body parts to get the food they need. Examples: A bird uses its beak to get worms out of the ground. © Copyright NewPath Learning. All Rights Reserved. Permission is granted for the purchaser to print copies for non-commercial educational purposes only. Visit us at www.NewPathLearning.com.

An owl uses its sharp claws to catch its food. An elephant uses its long trunk to get food and water. A giraffe uses its long neck to reach leaves on tall trees. © Copyright NewPath Learning. All Rights Reserved. Permission is granted for the purchaser to print copies for non-commercial educational purposes only. Visit us at www.NewPathLearning.com.

Animals use their body parts to EAT their food too: Many animals use their sharp teeth to chew their food, just like we do! How do Different Animals Breath? Animals that live on land use their lungs to breath. Dogs, cats, squirrels, and birds all live on land and breath using their lungs. © Copyright NewPath Learning. All Rights Reserved. Permission is granted for the purchaser to print copies for non-commercial educational purposes only. Visit us at www.NewPathLearning.com.

Fish live in the water and use their gills to breathe. They do not have lungs. Animals Grow and Change • Living things can grow and change. • After animals are born, they grow and change as they get older. • Some animals look like their parents when they are born: Like a cat. © Copyright NewPath Learning. All Rights Reserved. Permission is granted for the purchaser to print copies for non-commercial educational purposes only. Visit us at www.NewPathLearning.com.

Some animals go through BIG changes after they are born: Like a tadpole which becomes a frog! Like a caterpillar which becomes a butterfly! © Copyright NewPath Learning. All Rights Reserved. Permission is granted for the purchaser to print copies for non-commercial educational purposes only. Visit us at www.NewPathLearning.com.

How do Animals Stay Safe? You know animals need shelter—the place where they can be safe from danger and from bad weather. Animals can move in many different ways to get away from danger. Many animals can run fast. Some animals can climb trees. © Copyright NewPath Learning. All Rights Reserved. Permission is granted for the purchaser to print copies for non-commercial educational purposes only. Visit us at www.NewPathLearning.com.

Some can fly! Some animals are very good at hiding from other animals that might eat them. This animal changes colors to blend in with grass, leaves, and trees. When it is hiding, other animals can’t see it. This keeps the animal safe. © Copyright NewPath Learning. All Rights Reserved. Permission is granted for the purchaser to print copies for non-commercial educational purposes only. Visit us at www.NewPathLearning.com.

Animal Body Parts Animals use their body parts to move and to protect themselves! Animal body parts that are used for moving: Some animals use their legs to run and walk. Some animals use their legs and feet to swim. Ducks have webbed feet that help them swim well in water. A monkey uses its arms to move from tree to tree. Birds use their wings to fly. © Copyright NewPath Learning. All Rights Reserved. Permission is granted for the purchaser to print copies for non-commercial educational purposes only.

Fish use their fins to swim. What else are animal parts used for? An animal’s skin keeps its insides safe. Fish have scales that protect their body. Many animals have fur that keeps them warm. Birds have feathers that keep them warm. © Copyright NewPath Learning. All Rights Reserved. Permission is granted for the purchaser to print copies for non-commercial educational purposes only.

5.1. Plants

Plants are living things that need water, air, nutrients and sunlight to grow. There are two main kinds of plants - plants with flowers and plants without flowers. Plants with flowers include fruit trees and any plant with flowers. Plants without flowers include pine trees, mosses and ferns.

5.2. Main Parts of Plants

A plant has many important parts, such as roots, stem, leaves and flowers. Each part of the plant has different functions that make it possible for the plant to live.

5.3. Roots

Roots help support the plant by anchoring it into the ground. Roots have tiny hairs that absorb nutrients from the soil, which a plant needs to grow. These root hairs also take in water from the soil, which a plant needs to live and grow.

5.4. Stem

A plant's stem is used to support the plant. The stem allows the plant's leaves to reach above the soil so that they may take in the sunshine. A plant's stem carries the water and nutrients that are taken in by the plant's roots to the rest of the plant.

5.5. Leaves

Leaves are the parts of a plant where the plant's own food is made. They use sunlight, air, water and nutrients from the soil to make their own food through a process called photosynthesis.

5.6. Flowers

The main job of the flower of a plant is to make seeds. New plants grow from these seeds. Some plants form fruit to help protect their seeds.

5.7. Parts of a Plant Interactive Matching Activity

5.8. What a plant needs to grow...

Plants need many essential things in order to grow, such as water, air, nutrients, sunlight, and warm temperature. Plants need their space too!

5.9. Germination

Germination is the process by which the plant embryo inside a seed grows and a seedling grows above the soil. A seedling is a young plant that is in its early stages of growth.

5.10. Plants have different life cycles...

Living things have different life cycles. A life cycle is the way a living thing grows and changes. A flowering plant's life cycle describes the steps a plant takes to grow and become an adult plant.

5.11. Bean Plant Life Cycle

A bean plant's life cycle includes four stages: 1. Seed - contains the embryo, which will develop into the plant; 2. Sprouting seed - germinates or grows root and stem; 3. Seedling- its first leaves make food 4. Mature plant- can make seeds that will begin the life cycle again!

5.13. Animals

There are many different kinds of animals. Animals are grouped into two kinds - animals with backbones and animals without backbones.

5.14. Animals with backbones

Animals with backbones include mammals, birds, fish, amphibians and reptiles.

5.15. Animals without backbones

Most kinds of animals do not have backbones. Animals without backbones include insects, worms, crabs, spiders and many others.

5.16. Animal Growth & Reproduction

Animals produce offspring in a variety of ways. For example, many animals have live births. The offspring develop inside the female parent which then gives birth to the live young. Other organisms, like chickens and frogs, lay eggs instead of having live births. Animal life cycles vary in how long they take.

5.17. Frog Life Cycle

Like all amphibians, frogs spend their lives near water because they must return to water to lay their eggs. The four stages of a frog's life cycle include: 1. Frog eggs are laid in water. 2. Tadpoles hatch from the eggs. They breathe with gills and swim using a tail. 3. The froglet still has part of its tail and starts to breathe using its lungs. 4. By the time a froglet becomes an adult, its tail is reabsorbed.

5.19. Butterfly Life Cycle

Butterflies and moths go through complete metamorphosis and undergo four stages of development: egg, larva (caterpillar), pupa (Chrysalis), and adult.

5.21. Dragonfly Life Cycle

Most insects go through complete metamorphosis, but some, such as dragonflies, go through incomplete metamorphosis. This life cycle includes three stages of development: egg, nymph, and adult.

5.23. Inheritance of Traits

Have you ever wondered why offspring , the young of a plant or animal, often look like their parents? This is due to the inheritance of traits, which means that parents pass on their traits to their offspring. Animals inherit traits such as the shape and color of their body parts. Plants inherit traits such as leaf shape and flower color.

5.24. Animal Variation Due to Inherited Traits

Some offspring may appear different than one or both parents. This is because the offspring receive traits from both parents resulting in a unique combination that is different from either parent. Variations in humans are height and eye color. A child's parents may both have brown eyes, yet the child could have blue eyes.

5.25. Variation Due to Environment

Characteristics of plants and animals can be affected by their surroundings, climate or diet. For example, if you eat too much you will become heavier, and if you eat too little you will become lighter. A plant in the shade of a big tree will grow taller as it tries to reach more sunlight.

5.26. Variation Interactive Matching Activity

5.27. Adaptation

An adaptation is a trait or characteristic that helps a living thing survive in its environment. For example, it takes special adaptations to be able to live in a very cold environment. Polar bears have thick blubber and dense fur to help keep them warm.
