Lesson Title: Today we are learning about
What are living things made up of?
Remember to check for PROGRESS
Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding
Success Criteria: You will show your learning by...
  1. There are seven processes that are common to living things.
  2. The seven life processes are movement, respiration, sensitivity, growth, reproduction, excretion and nutrition.
  3. Cells as are the fundamental unit of living organisms.
  4. Cells => Tissues => Organs => Organ Systems => Organisms
  5. Cells are repeated units
  6. Tissues are one type of cell working together.
  7. Organs are made of different tissues working together.
  8. Organ Systems are different organs working together.
  9. Organisms are living things, in which different organ systems work together.
  10. All living, or once living, things are made up of cells.
  11. Cells have smaller structures called organelles in them.
  12. The function of the cell wall is to strengthen the cell.
  13. The function of the cell membrane is to control the passage of substances in and out of the cell.
  14. The function of cytoplasm is to be a place for chemical reactions to take place.
  15. The function of nucleus is to control the cell.
  16. The function of permanent vacuole is to be a store of cell sap.
  17. The function of the chloroplasts is to absorb light energy to make food
  18. The function of mitochondria is to release energy through respiration.
  19. The function of the ribosome is to do protein synthesis (making).
