4. Unit 1: THE ORGANISATION OF LIVING THINGS
1.- WHAT ARE LIVING THIGNS LIKE? CELLS
We can recognise living things because they share the following
characteristics:
 They are born. All living things come from other living
things.
 They eat. All living things need food.
 They grow. All living things increase in size during their life
time.
 They react. Living things can perceive what is going on
around them.
 They reproduce. Living things can create offspring similar to
themselves.
 They die.
There are three basic life processes:
 Nutrition. Living things eat food, which contains nutrients.
Nutrients are substances that living things use to grow or
provide energy.
 Sensitivity. Living things perceive what is happening around
them and respond to what they perceive.
 Reproduction. New living things replace the ones that die.
ACTIVITIES:
1.- What six characteristics do all living things have in common? Write:
Living things ……………………….

2.- Write five non-living things.

Sensitivity.

6. Unit 1: THE ORGANISATION OF LIVING THINGS
What is a cell?
Living things are made up of tiny units called cells.
Cells are the smallest living units in a living thing. Cells are living things.
This means that they carry out the life processes of nutrition,
reproduction and sensitivity.
Some living things are made up of a single cell. They are unicellular.
For example: The amoeba.
Other living things are made up of many cells. They are multicellular.
For example: You.

ONE NAME, MANY TYPES
There are many types of cells. You can distinguish between plant cells and
animal cells.
Plant cells have wall; animal cells do not.

8. Unit 1: THE ORGANISATION OF LIVING THINGS
There are many types of cells. Humans have hundreds of types of cells.
Different types of cells have different tasks or functions.

9. Unit 1: THE ORGANISATION OF LIVING THINGS
Parts of a cell
Cells have three parts:
o The membrane is the covering around the cell.
o The nucleus is the part which controls the function of the cell.
o Cytoplasm is the space between the nucleus and the
membrane.
o Plant cells have also a wall around the membrane.

7.- Draw a plant cell and label its parts.
2.- THE ORGANISATION OF LIVING THINGS
Multicellular living things have the following structure.
 Cells form tissues. Tissues are made up of the same type of cells,
which work together.
SCIENCE YEAR 5 11
CEIP NARCISO ALONSO CORTÉS

12. Unit 1: THE ORGANISATION OF LIVING THINGS
 Tissues form organs. Organs are made up of different types of
tissues, which work together.
 Organs form systems. Systems are made up of different organs,
which work together.
 An organism is a complete living thing. Different systems work
together in an organism. All living things are organism.
You can find many different tissues in an organ. Look at this stomach:
ACTIVITIES:
1.- Put the words in order from the simple structure to the most complex
structure.

4.- Draw:

3.- KINGDOMS
Living things are classified into five groups called kingdoms.
SCIENCE YEAR 5 13
CEIP NARCISO ALONSO CORTÉS

14. Unit 1: THE ORGANISATION OF LIVING THINGS
The main kingdoms are the animal kingdom, the plant kingdom and the fungi
kingdom.
3.1 The animal kingdom.
o Animals are multicellular.
o Animals eat other living things.
o Animals can move from one place o
another.
o Animals have a nervous system and
sense organs.
o Animals react to stimuli.
3.2 The plant kingdom.
o Plants are multicellular.
o Plants use sunlight and substances from
the soil and air (carbon dioxide) to
make their own food.
o Plants cannot move from one place to
another. They have roots in the ground.
o Plants don’t have a nervous system or
sense organs.
3.3 The fungi kingdom.
o Most fungi are multicellular. A few are unicellular.
SCIENCE YEAR 5 14

15. Unit 1: THE ORGANISATION OF LIVING THINGS
o Fungi depend on other organisms for food.
o Fungi are fixed to something. They can not move.
Some examples of fungi are:

2. Read carefully: WHAT TYPE OF LIVNG THINGS ARE FUNGI?
SCIENCE YEAR 5 16
CEIP NARCISO ALONSO CORTÉS

17. Unit 1: THE ORGANISATION OF LIVING THINGS
Fungi are living things. They are born, grow, reproduce, and die, but they
are not plants or animals.
Fungi are not plants because they cannot make their own food. They absorb
nutrients from the remains of other living things. They are not animals
because they don’t have sense organs and they cannot move.
Some fungi, such as yeast, are tiny to see. Others’ such as moulds, are also
tiny, but you can see them all together.
Some fungi are in the ground. In autumn, they become mushrooms and grow
above the ground. There are many edible mushrooms.

PROCETURE
SCIENCE YEAR 5 18
CEIP NARCISO ALONSO CORTÉS

19. Unit 1: THE ORGANISATION OF LIVING THINGS
To describe a living thing, first observe it carefully.
Then talk about its size, colour and shape.
For example to describe a mushroom, answer these questions:
1.- What size is it? (Measure the height of the mushroom and
the width of the cap)
2.- What colour is the cap?
3.- What shape is the cap? (flat ,concave , or convex
.
4.- What colour are the gills?
5.- What colour is the stalk?
6.- What shape is the stalk? (Is it cylindrical or does the
thickness change?)
7.- Does the stalk have rings?
