Overview

Plants and animals live in habitats suited to them; EVS builds observation of their features, needs and interdependence.

Key points

Plant parts: root, stem, leaf, flower, fruit, seed.
Plants need sunlight, water, air and soil to grow.
Animals can be grouped by food (herbivores, carnivores, omnivores) and habitat.
Adaptations help survival (camel in desert, fish with gills).
Habitats include forests, grasslands, deserts, mountains, ponds and oceans.
Plants and animals depend on each other (food, pollination, seed dispersal).

Explanation

School gardens allow observation of growth.
Children can record bird visits.
Respect for animals and plants builds empathy.
Local species make learning meaningful.
Habitat loss threatens wildlife.

Step by step

Identify the concept, law or fact asked.
Recall the definition, formula, example or year.
Apply it and eliminate mismatched options.

Examples

A camel’s hump and wide feet → desert adaptations.
Bees visiting flowers → pollination (interdependence).
Growing a seed in a cup and recording daily → observation.

Traps and advanced points

Trap: Thinking plants don’t need air.
Trap: Mixing herbivores and omnivores.
Trap: Only textbook examples.

Quick revision

Plant parts and needs.
Animal groups by food.
Adaptations and habitats.
