How do living things get what
they need to live and grow?
organism
respond
reproduce
environment
cell
What are living things?
Living things grow,
respond to the world
around them, and
reproduce.
What do living things need?
Living things need food,
water, and space.
Many also need gases
found in air or water.
What are living things made of?
Living things are
made up of cells.
Main Idea
How can you tell the difference between
a living and a nonliving thing?
Living things have needs, grow,
respond, and reproduce. Living
things are made up of cells.
Nonliving things do not have needs
and do not grow, reproduce, or
respond.
Vocabulary
Living things ___________ , or react, to the world
around them.
Cells
___________
are the building blocks of life.
An ___________ is all the living and nonliving things
that surround an organism.
Living things are called ___________.
To ___________ means to make more of one’s own kind.
cells
environment
organisms
reproduce
respond
Main Idea and Details
What do living things
need to survive?
food
Living things have
needs to survive.
water
gases in air or water
space

photosynthesis
What are plants?
Most plants have
roots, stems, and
leaves.
They use
energy from
the sun to
make their
own food.
How do roots and
stems help plants?
These are structures
which hold the plant
in place and help it
take in nutrients.
Why are leaves important?
Leaves take in the
carbon dioxide
and sunlight that
plants need for
photosynthesis.
Leaves also give off
oxygen and make
food for the plant.
How can you classify plants?
You can classify plants by
their structures (roots,
stems, leaves) or by
whether they are flowering
or non-flowering.
Main Idea
What three structures do most plants have?
Roots, stems, leaves
Vocabulary
Plants make food through a process
called ______________.
______________
are substances that help
Nutrients
living things grow and stay healthy.
Many plants have the same basic
______________, or parts.
nutrients
photosynthesis
structures
Vocabulary
Roots are structures that take
_________
in water and hold a plant in place.
A _________ is the structure where
a plant makes food.
A _________ is a structure that
holds up a plant.
leaf
roots
stem
Summarize
How do a
plant’s parts
help it
survive?
Roots take in water
and nutrients and
keep a plant in place.
Stems hold a plant
upright so its leaves
can get sunlight and
they transport materials
throughout the plant.
Leaves take in carbon
dioxide and energy from
sunlight. Leaves are
where photosynthesis
takes place.

What are animals?
Animals are living things that
can usually move and respond
to their environment in a variety
of ways.
They get their energy
and nutrients by eating
other organisms.
How do animals get
what they need?
Animals have structures
that help them get what
they need for survival.
How do animals stay safe?
Some animals have structures
to help them stay safe and the
others find shelter.
Main Idea
How are animals alike?
All animals move, respond to
their environment in noticeable
ways, eat other organisms for
energy, and have structures that
help them meet their needs.
Vocabulary
Gills
___________
are structures that take in
oxygen from the water.
Some animals stay safe by finding a safe place,
or ___________.
Lungs
___________
are structures that take in oxygen
from the air.
gill
s
lungs
shelter
Compare and Contrast
Plants need
carbon dioxide,
sunlight, and
nutrients from
the soil.
Both plants
and animals
need food,
water, space,
and oxygen.
Animals must
eat other
organisms for
energy.

How can you classify animals?
Animals can be
classified based on
their structures.
What are some
invertebrates?
What are some vertebrates?
What are mammals?
Mammals are vertebrates
with hair or fur, and are
born alive.
You are a mammal too!
Main Idea
Name five groups of vertebrates.
Fish, birds, amphibians,
reptiles, mammals

vertebrates with hair or fur.
Animals without backbones are called
______________.
exoskeleton invertebrates
mammals
reptiles
Vocabulary
Animals with backbones are called ____________.
Animals that spend part of their lives in water
and part on land are called ____________.
Fish
____________
are vertebrates that spend
their whole lives in water.
A ____________ is a kind of animal with a beak,
feathers, two wings, and two legs.
bird

Mammal
A zebra has hair
and gives birth
to live young.
Mammal
A zebra does
not have scales
or feathers like
other groups of
vertebrates.
