Living creaturesAll living creatures have to be able to do these things:
1. Reproduce2. Sense3. Grow4. Feed5. Move
MovementMovement is really important for all animals.
It means they can:
• Find food
• Escape things trying to eat them
• Find a mate.
Make out the movementAnimals can move in lots of different ways:
• Crabs move by running sideways
• Fish move by moving their tail from side to side
• Octopus move by pulling themselves along on their legs or by sucking water in and blowing it out again.
Animals can also move at very different speeds:
• The Sailfish can swim at a top speed of 115km per hour!
• Barnacles attach themselves to a rock and can only move very slowly.
Make out the movement
Acting like an animal Look at the pictures of the animals shown on the next slides.
Work out how you think the animals move and act out that movement.
The sensesAll animals use their senses to find out about the world around them.
Humans have five senses. They are:
• Sight
• Smell
• Hearing
• Touch
• Taste
The senses
Fish also have another sense.
They have a line on their body which helps them to feel vibrations given off by other animals around them.
The sensesOther animals also have specially developed senses to help them live underwater.
For example, seals have very good hearing which they use to work out where other animals are underwater.
The senses
A shark’s sense of smell is so good that he can smell a drop of blood from over 100 metres away!
