Unit 4: Staying Alive

4.1 Human Organs

Key Concepts:

• The heart is a muscle that pumps blood through the body.

• Blood moves through blood vessels and carries oxygen and nutrients.

• The pulse is the movement of blood when the heart beats.

• The brain controls our thinking, movement, and talking.

• The lungs help us breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide.

• The intestines help to take nutrients from food.

Practice Questions:

1. Fill in the blanks using the words: blood pulse muscle rest

o The heart is a __________ and it pumps __________.

o Another name for our heartbeat is the __________.

o When we __________ after exercising, our heartbeat slows down.

2. What the function of the organs:

o Heart → __________________________________________________

o Brain → __________________________________________________

o Lungs → __________________________________________________

o Intestines → __________________________________________________

4.2 Animal Groups and Life Cycles

Key Concepts:

• Animals are classified into groups: mammals, fish, reptiles, insects, amphibians, and birds.

• Different animals have different life cycles.

• Example:

o Frogs go through these stages: Egg → Tadpole without legs → Tadpole with legs →
Adult Frog
Practice Questions:

1. Sort these animals into the correct groups: salmon, monkey, ant, turtle, eagle, frog

Mammal Fish Reptile Insect Amphibian Bird

2. Label the frog life cycle:

______________________ → ____________________ → ____________________ → Adult Frog

4.3 Food Chains

Key Concepts:

• A food chain shows how energy moves between living things.

• Producers (e.g., plants) make their own food using sunlight.

• Consumers (e.g., animals) get energy by eating other living things.

• Arrows (→) in a food chain show the flow of energy.

Practice Questions:

1. In this food chain, draw the missing arrow: Seaweed → Fish → Seal → Shark

2. What do we call an organism that makes its own food? _________________

3. What do we call organisms that eat other living things? _________________

4.4 Fossils

Key Concepts:

• Fossils are the preserved remains of living things found in rocks.

• Fossils take a long time to form.

• Plants and animals can become fossils.

Practice Questions:
1. Are these statements TRUE or FALSE?

o Fossils take a long time to form. (True/False)

o Only animals can become fossils. (True/False)

o Dinosaurs eat fossils. (True/False)

o Fossils are found deep in the ground. (True/False)

2. Identify whether each fossil is from a plant or an animal:

o ______________ (Example: Leaf imprint)

o ______________ (Example: Dinosaur bone)


Answers

4.1 Human Organs

1. Fill in the blanks:
