DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PLANTS ANDS ANIMALS
Plants
- Plants generally are rooted in one place an do not move on their own
- Plants contain chlorophyll and can make their own food
- Plants give off oxygen and take in carbon dioxide given off by animals.
- Plants cells have cell walls and other structures differ from those of animals.
- Plants have either no or very basic ability to sense.
Animals
1. Most animals have the ability to move fairly freely.
2. Animals cannot make their own food and are dependent on plants and other animals for food.
- Animals give off carbon dioxide which plants need to make food and take in oxygen which they need to breathe.
- Animal cells do not have cell walls and have different structures than plant cells
- Animals have a much more highly developed sensory and nervous system.
IMPORTANCES OF PLANTS AND ANIMALS
PLANTS
1. Plants serve as sources of food to man e.g. okra, cassava, beans, rice, oranges etc.
- As source of medicine to cure diseases e.g .Nyhm leaves to cure fever.
- Plants are used as fire wood.
- They are used in building and construction.
- Plants give oxygen during photosynthesis.
- Flowering plants are used to beautify our environment.
- Some domestic and wild animals can feed on plants.
ANIMALS
1. Human being feed on animals e.g. cow, goat etc.
2. Man can make money from rearing of animals. e.g. cow
3. They are used as means of transportation e.g. horse
4. Some animals are used as toys e.g. puppies
Non – living things are the substances / materials that do not have life in them.
EXAMPLES OF LIVING AND NON LIVING THINGS
Examples of living things
Some examples of living things include the following organisms: goat, sheep, bird, cow, toad, rat, rabbit, earthworm, tapeworm, housefly, maize plant, mango tree, orange tree, coconut tree, rhizopus, euglena, etc.
Examples of nonliving things
The following are examples of some non living things around us: stone, pen, book, table, chair, beg, pencil, shoe, water, cup, bucket, air, radio, hand-set, cleaner. Etc.
Properties of Living Things and Non-Living Things
Living things are made up of cells; exhibit characteristics of life, like growth, movement, reproduction, response to stimuli; they evolve, and require energy for daily activities. Some of the daily life examples of living things around us are human beings, animals, plants and micro organisms.
Non-livings things do not exhibit any characteristics of life. They do not grow, respire, need energy, move, reproduce, evolve, or maintain homeostasis. These things are made up of non-living materials. Some examples of non-living things are stones, paper, electronic goods, books, buildings, and automobiles.
Uses of Living and Non- Living Things
PLANTS
1. Plants serve as sources of food to man e.g. okro, cassava, beans, rice, oranges e.t.c.
2. As source of medicine to cure diseases e.g. Nyhm leaves to cure fever.
3. Plants are used as fire wood
4. They are used in building and construction
5. Plants give oxygen during photosynthesis
6. Flowering plants are used to beautify our environment
7. Some domestic and wild animals can feed on plants.
ANIMALS
1. Human being feed on animals e.g. cow, goat e.t.c.
2. Man can make money from rearing of animals. e.g. cow
3. They are used as means of transportation e.g. horse
4. Some animals are used as toys e.g. puppies
Presentation
The topic is presented step by step
Step 1:
The class teacher revises the previous topics
Step 2.
He introduces the new topic
Step 3:
The class teacher corrects the pupils when and where the needs arise .
Conclusion
The class teacher wraps up or conclude the lesson by giving out short note to summarize the topic that he or she has just taught.
The class teacher also goes round to make sure that the notes are well copied or well written by the pupils.
He or she does the necessary corrections when and where the needs arise.
