Grade 5 Science Q2 - Living Things
-featured.png)
This course covers essential life science topics: digestive and respiratory systems for energy; human reproductive systems and growth; classifying plants, animals, and microorganisms; life cycles of plants, birds, and mammals; specialized plant structures; and animal adaptations like camouflage and mimicry. Using diagrams, comparisons, and simple activities, learners will develop observation, classification, and explanation skills to confidently progress in science.

What you'll learn
- Identify the major parts of the digestive and respiratory systems and explain their main function in providing the body with energy.
- Identify the basic structures of the male and female reproductive systems and describe their role in growth and reproduction.
- Use a table to correctly group living things into plants, animals, and microorganisms based on similar characteristics.
- Compare the life cycles of plants, birds, and mammals, and distinguish between animals that reproduce by giving birth and those that lay eggs.
- Describe the purpose of specialized plant structures (such as thorns, tubers, and aerial roots) and explain how these structures help plants adapt to unfavorable environmental conditions.
- Describe and give examples of how animals have changed (adapted) to better suit their environment, using concepts like camouflage and mimicry.
