Characteristics of living things
Explore life processes and evaluate evidence. Mnemonics vary; use the named processes and the combined evidence rather than one sign alone.
Investigate and explain
- For each process, propose a plant example and an animal example.
- Compare a seed, a flame and a moving vehicle using several lines of evidence.
- Explain respiration versus breathing and adaptation versus acclimatisation.
