We all love flowers! They look beautiful, but have you ever wondered what they have inside? Take a look!

Animal habitats

Different animals live in different habitats. Some of their habitats are very hot. Others are very cold. Some have lots of plants, or very few.

Animals adapt to their habitats. Watch this video and learn how!

Most land animals and plants live in rainforests:

 Few animals live in deserts. The weather there is very hot during the day and very cold at night time.

 Few animals live also in polar regions. It is so cold...brrrrrr...there is snow and ice everywhere!

 Many animals and plants live in forests. They can be cold and rainy or warm and dry.

Animal classification

At school we are now learning about animals. They are all so different!
- Some animals have got a backbone or vertebral column. They are called VERTEBRATES.
- Some other animals haven't got a backbone. They are called INVERTEBRATES.

Are these animals vertebrates or invertabrates?

And these?

We can also classify animals in many other ways. Watch this video to learn more!

New plants grow in this way:
   1. A seed falls on the ground.
   2. A tiny root and a tiny stem grow.
   3. The roots and the stem grow bigger.
   4. The first leaves start to grow.
   5. The tree is big and has flowers.
   6. The flowers die and the fruits grow.
