To view the content in the correct formatting, please view the PowerPoint in ‘slide show mode’. This takes you from desktop to presentation mode. If you view the slides out of ‘slide show mode’, you may find that some of the text and images overlap each other and/or are difficult to read.

Outdoor Areas To ensure the safety of the children in your setting, it is your responsibility to assess whether adult supervision or other appropriate safety measures are required when using scissors. Outdoor areas provide great opportunities for play and learning, but always check for any environmental risks before taking part in outdoor activities, and only proceed if it is safe to do so. Ensure children always wash their hands after being outside. Please be respectful of nature and take care of animals and plants. We will not be held responsible for the health and safety of those participating in activities, and cannot accept any liability. By organising or participating in any activity described, you acknowledge that it is the responsibility of supervising adults to ensure the safety of children in their care.

- 5. Success Criteria Aim • Toidentify and group living and non- living things. • I can sort living and non-living things into groups. • I can generate a criteria to sort living and non-living things. 3
- 6. Life Processes What doall these things have in common? 4
- 7. Remember It There aremany different living and non-living things on Earth. Sometimes we call living things ‘organisms’. Even though they might be very different from each other, all of these organisms share certain characteristics. All living things do certain things to stay alive. These are called life processes. All living things, including animals and humans, do these things. Plants do too, although they do them in different ways. Mrs Gren helps us remember. We can remember life processes by thinking about Mrs Gren. 5

- 9. Remember It A hareruns to escape from danger. A sunflower moves to turn its face towards the sun. Movement Animals move around to get from place to place. Plants grow and turn towards the light. All living things move. 7
- 10. Remember It Land animalsbreathe oxygen through their mouths or noses. Sea creatures breathe oxygen dissolved in the water through their gills. Both types of creature then use this oxygen in their body for respiration. Plants both respire and photosynthesise. While photosynthesis happens when the plant is in light, plants respire by taking in oxygen and giving out carbon dioxide during darkness. Respiration All living things respire. Plants and animals both use oxygen gas from the air to turn their food into energy. This is called respiration. 8
- 11. Remember It Sensitivity All livingthings are sensitive. Every living thing can detect changes in their surroundings. Animals use their senses to see, hear, taste, touch and smell the world around them. Plants can also detect changes in the environment. This mimosa plant curls up when you touch it! 9
- 12. Remember It Growth All livingthings grow. Bamboo can grow up to 3cm every hour. This ocean mola started life as an egg not much bigger than a full stop. It will grow to weigh about 1000kg - this is the same size as a large bull! Animals grow from babies to adults. Seeds grow into plants. 10
- 13. Remember It Animals have young. Plants produce seedsfrom which more plants grow. Reproduction All living things reproduce. Animals lay eggs or give birth to live young. Most plants reproduce by forming seeds. 11
- 14. Remember It Excretion All livingthings excrete. Waste products are removed from the body. Both plants and animals have to get rid of excess gas and water. Animals excrete waste through urine and faeces. Leftover gases and water leave plants from their leaves. 12
- 15. Remember It Nutrition All livingthings need nutrition. Food is eaten to provide energy to live. Green plants make their own food using sunlight. Animals may be carnivores, herbivores or omnivores. Green plants make their own food using the energy from the sun. 13
- 16. Remember It All livingorganisms share these characteristics. This is how we know they are alive or living! Living things have lots of other similarities and many differences too. We can use these similarities and differences to sort the living things into groups. Can you tell your talk partner what the seven life processes are? X 14
- 17. Non-Living Things Now weknow how we can identify and start to group different living things, we can explore what non-living things are. A non-living thing is something that is not alive. Non-living things can be things that were once living or part of a living thing, or they can be things that have never been alive. They do not need food, water or air. They cannot reproduce or grow. 15
- 18. Non-Living Things When wethink about non-living things we can further identify things into different categories such as once living, a product of a living thing or never been alive. Once Living Once living things used to be alive and carried out life processes but now are not alive anymore. Products of Living Things Products of living things are things that come from a living thing or can be made from once living things. Never Been Alive Something that has never been alive has not ever carried out any life processes. It has never needed food, water or air. It cannot reproduce or grow. 16
- 19. Living and Non-LivingThings Living Things Non-Living Things How do you know the things are living or non-living when you are sorting them? X Now we have a good understanding of both living and non-living things. Let’s sort the different living and non-living things into the Venn diagram. 17
- 20. Living and Non-LivingThings Living Things Non-Living Things Once living We could further group or categorise the living things and non living things by giving the middle part of the Venn diagram a label, such as once living. Now try grouping the different living things and non-living things. 18
- 21. Living and Non-LivingThings Living Things Non-Living Things Lives on land Lives on water Once living Product of living things Never been alive There are many different ways we can show how to group living and non-living things. We can also add more detail by grouping within groups in a classification flow chart. Try grouping the same things again. What do you notice? Could they be grouped in a different way? It is important to think about the different characteristics of things to help you sort the living and non-living things. 19
- 22. Criteria We have learntthere are many different ways we can group living and non- living things. How we group things can be called a criteria. With your partner, write down as many different ways you can think of to group living and non-living things on your whiteboards. Then we will share our ideas with the class. Living Things • plants or animals • feathers or fur • lives in water or lives on land • has legs or no legs • has wings or no wings Non-Living Things • once living • product of living thing • never been alive • natural material or human- constructed material 20
- 23. Grouping Living andNon-Living Things Now, let’s use our knowledge of living and non-living things and how to sort according to a criteria to group some living and non-living things in a variety of ways. Some criteria have been chosen for you, and some you can choose yourself. 21
- 24. Collecting Living andNon- Living Things Specimens Now you are an expert scientist at identifying and grouping living and non- living things, you are going to collect or take a photo of a one living and one non-living thing from the school grounds. Once you have collected or taken a photo of your things, you will evaluate them. Remember, once you have collected and examined your specimen to return it safely to where you found it.
- 25. Success Criteria Aim • Toidentify and group living and non-living things. • I can sort living and non-living things into groups. • I can generate a criteria to sort living and non-living things. • I can collect and identify living things and non-living things according to life processes or characteristics. • I can explain why something is grouped as living or non-living and give reasons for my answers.
