2.1 Life processes |
click2.1a Movement
|
| describe the purpose of movement in different animals and plants
| explore the relationship between the organs, tissues and cells of the skeletal system and of support systems in plants
|
| use scientific terminology to describe the main parts of the support structures in animals and plants | use models and analogies to explain how skeletal systems are adapted to achieve movement and how different structures support organisms |
| explain the major functions of the skeletal systems in plants and animals, including support, protection, anchorage, movement and production of red blood cells
| explain how lifestyle choices can affect the working and development of the skeletal system |
click2.1b Reproduction
|
| use scientific terminology to describe the main parts of the reproductive systems in animals and plants and describe their location | explain, using suitable models and analogies, the functions of major organs and tissues in the reproductive systems in plants and animals |
| describe and compare, in simple terms, the processes of pollination, fertilisation, seed dispersal and germination | explain how some factors can impact on reproduction, e.g. poor nutrition, diet |
click2.1c Sensitivity
|
| describe, in simple terms, how animals and plants detect their environment using their sense organs and respond through their nervous and/or hormonal systems | explain the major functions of the sense organs and tissues in plants and animals |
| explain how the sensitivity of organisms increases their chances of survival | explain, using models and analogies, how sense organs are adapted to their function for animals and plants and how this can increase their chances of survival |
| use scientific terminology to describe the main sense organs in animals and plants and their location | use primary and secondary data to compare plant and animal responses to their environment |
click2.1d Growth
|
| recognise that growth is more than an increase in size and describe some factors that affect growth | recognise that organisms grow at different rates and there is a maximum size to which organs and tissues can grow, e.g. skin, heart, roots, leaves |
| explain in simple terms how different systems contribute to growth, e.g. digestive system, respiratory system, circulatory system | explain how some factors can impact on growth, e.g. poor nutrition, genetics |
click2.1e Respiration
|
| describe the purpose of respiration and circulation in different animals and plants | explain the major functions of the respiratory and circulatory organs and tissues in plants and animals, e.g. trachea, bronchi, arteries, stomata, phloem, xylem |
| use scientific terminology to describe the main organs in the respiratory and circulatory systems of plants and animals, and describe their location | explain, using models and analogies, how the heart and lungs are adapted to their function in animals and the leaf in plants
|
click2.1f Excretion
|
| use scientific terminology to describe the main excretory systems, organs and products in plants and animals | explain the major functions of the organs and tissues in plants and animals, including the skin, lungs, kidney and leaf, involved in excretion |
| explain the purpose of excretion and egestion | explain how microorganisms can be used to produce a range of useful products, e.g. vinegar, yoghurt |
| describe some useful products arising from excretory processes from microorganisms, e.g. alcohol, carbon dioxide, antibiotics and methane | |
click2.1g Nutrition
|
| use scientific terminology to describe the main organs in the digestive system, and food groups
| explain the function of the different digestive organs, the main food groups and the organs that contribute to photosynthesis
|
| use a simple model to explain the purpose of digestion and photosynthesis
| distinguish between the dietary needs of different groups of people
