recognise how organisms that belong to the same species share many characteristicsdescribe and explain examples of simple adaptations of plants and animals to different environments, and how they increase survival
use data to describe common features of some of the main taxonomic groups of animals and plants, e.g. mammals, flowering plantsdescribe differences in organisms of the same species and attribute these either to environmental or to inherited factors
construct and explain food chains and webs use different models and analogies to describe the flow of energy through food chains and food webs, and relate this to energy transfer and why plants are essential to food chains
