Unit 6A: Interdependence and adaptation
What does a plant need to grow well?
Do you think they have been in different environments?
Why do you think one of the plants is healthy and one is not?

Plant food
Added to soil to help plants grow
Essential foods needed by plants and animals
A living thing which produces its own food
An animal that kills and eats other animals
An animal that is eaten by a predator
A sequence of organisms in a feeding relationship
An animal that feeds on other living things
Used to determine the identity of a plant or animal
An animal or plant suited to its surroundings fits in well
Liquid or pellets which provide plants with essential nutrients

What will happen to the unhealthy plant if it is put on the windowsill for a few days?

Unit 6A: Growing Healthy Plants
Healthy plants need water and sunlight
Water is taken in by the roots
Sunlight is taken in by the leaves
Unit 6A: Fertilisers: L.O. 5: N.C.
Unit 6A: Fertilisers
Plants take in nutrients along with the water they take in through the roots
Plant nutrients
How do animals get the nutrients they need into their systems?
Unit 6A: Interdependence: L.O. 7, 8: N.C.
Unit 6A: Interdependence
What is interdependence?

Unit 6A: Food Chains
Rosebush Greenfly Ladybird BirdProducer 1st consumer 2nd consumer 3rd consumer
Construct your own food chain using the following information:
Owls eat miceMice eat seeds, leaves and fruitFoxes eat owls
Your chain must begin with the producer
Unit 6A: L.O. 14,15
Unit 6A: Soils
Different soils are really important for the type of plants that can be grown in them.
You have 2 soil samples to look at.
Using a hand lense or a magnifying glass record as many things as you can about the soil.
Observation Soil sample 1 Soil sample 2
Colour
Pieces of rock
Water
Stickiness
Bits of plant/animals
Unit 6A: L.O. 14,15
Unit 6A: What are the soils good for?
Now you have studied both soils, what do you think each would be good for?
Things you will need to consider are:
Would water be able to drain out of the soil?
Do you think it would be a good environment for plants/animals to live?
You need to explain each of your answers in as much detail as possible.
Unit 6A: L.O. 16, 17
Unit 6A: Different Habitats
Woodland RiverbankWastelandSeashore
For each of the habitats what plants and animals would you expect to find?

Unit 6A: L.O. 16, 17
Unit 6A: Different animals, different habitats
Choose one of the animals above then answer the questions below in as much detail as possible.
What habitat does the animal live in?
Is it hot or cold?
Is there much vegetation in the habitat?
What special features help the animal survive in its habitat?
Unit 6A: Keys: L.O. 6: N.C. 2.4a
Unit 6A: Food Chains
Construct as many food chains as you can from the animals and plants shown in the pictures
