What is a conjunction?

A conjunction is a part of speech

that is used to connect words,

phrases, clauses, or sentences.

Copy these sentences into your books using the

most appropriate conjunction from the word bank.

Read each sentence carefully and check that it

makes sense before you copy it down!

1. I was unhappy …….… I decided to go home.

2. ………. I was angry, I still

apologised for my bad behaviour.

3. I was exhausted …….…. still continued to run

towards the finishing line.

4. The car stopped ……….. someone had removed

the petrol.

5. The plant had healthy green leaves and

………. photosynthesis could take place.

6. ……… the rainforest being destroyed,

many animal habitats are disappearing.

7. They went out ……….. the rain.

World Habitats

Plants and animals

rely on the

environment around

them to provide

them with

everything they

need?

This means they

have to live

somewhere that

has the right

conditions to

help them stay

alive and well.

Because different

places around the

world have different

conditions, the

plants and animals

that live there are

different too.

These different

animals and

plants all have

special ways to

survive in their

special

(9)

Oceans

Many kinds of plants grow in the ocean, including seaweed,

grasses, algae and even flowers. The oceans contain all

kinds of creatures, from giant whales to plankton so tiny

that you need a microscope to see them.

There are more than 21,000

species of fish in the ocean.

Fish breathe underwater using

special organs called gills.

Many mammals

_{live in the sea,}

such as seals,

whales, and

dolphins.

These creatures

need to return to

the surface to

breathe air, like

we do.

Some creatures crawl

over the bottom of the

ocean or burrow

beneath it. They include

lobsters, crabs,

(10)

The Arctic

The Arctic Circle is located at the very top of the

Earth. It is very cold in the Arctic all year round.

The only plants that can grow in the Arctic region

are grass and mosses. Trees are unable to grow

because the ground stays frozen all year round. In

some places in the Arctic it is too cold for anything

to grow at all.

There are many land mammals

in the Arctic including ox,

reindeer, artic foxes, weasels,

wolves, polar bears and

brown bears.

Seals, walruses and whales live here and

feed from the plankton and fish in the sea.

(11)

Tropical Rainforests

The tropical rainforests are home to gigantic trees,

colourful birds, millions of bright insects, and many

different mammals.

There are more trees in tropical rainforests than

anywhere else in the world. These trees are home

to lots of animals. Most of them live high in the

branches where they can find food.

Insects, small birds and frogs feed on the fruit, seeds

and leaves, or other small creatures. Tree-living

lizards, chameleons and snakes feed on smaller

animals.

Plant-eating mammals, such as flying squirrels,

monkeys, and sloths, live in the forest canopy.

Carnivores, such as jaguars and leopards, hunt in the

trees to catch prey.

(12)

Deserts

Because there is such little water in the desert, not many living things

can survive here. Animals and plants that live here are specially

adapted to the harsh, dry conditions.

Many desert plants have leaves that collect and

store water. Since water is so scarce, most desert

animals get their water from eating these plants,

or from the blood and body tissues of their prey.

Some animals, like kangaroos and lizards, live in

burrows which do not get too hot or cold and

have damp air inside. These animals stay in their

burrows during the hot days, coming out at night

to feed.

Camels can drink large amounts of water at one time and can survive

as long as two weeks without drinking. They have large spread out

feet that help them to walk on the soft sand.

(13)

How Do I Survive?

Plants and animals live in habitats that suit them.

They have special features that help them to survive in their habitat.

This is why animals that live in cold places have thick fur, and

why animals that live in or near water are good swimmers.

What microhabitats might you find on a mountain?

A microhabitat is a very small part of a habitat,

such as a clump of grass or a space between

rocks. It is a habitat for extremely small creatures,

such as woodlice or butterflies.

For example: Gardens contain several microhabitats

including under trees, ponds, underneath rocks and

rotting logs.

Many different minibeasts live in many different

microhabitats. They are suited to live in that

microhabitat because they can find food, water and

The yetis stayed quietly hidden in a thick fir wood on the borders of Feldenberg

and Switzerland. It was beautiful amongst the firs. The grass was soft and

mossy; there were red and white toadstools, and bilberries which tasted delicious

and made their teeth a rich, dark blue. There was a stream to paddle in and fir

cones for Clarence to play with and squirrels to be Ambrose’s friends. Ellen

polished Queen Victoria and she rubbed Uncle Otto’s bald patch with resin from

the pine trees so that it became the most sweetly scented bald patch in the world.

On the afternoon of their second day in the woods, they were sitting peacefully

by the banks of the stream. Clarence was pretending to catch fish and Percy was

strumming his guitar.

Mountains can sometimes act like barriers preventing plants and animals from

crossing from one side of the mountain to the other.

In the United States and Canada, for example, there are two different ecosystems

(plant and wildlife communities) on each side of the Rocky Mountains.

As well as different ecosystems on each side of a mountain, you can often find

different ecosystems as you climb up from base to the peak of a big mountain.

Because of the rapid changes in altitude (height) and temperature along a

mountain slope, ecosystems can change quickly from one area to the next.

What is an ecosystem?

a community of interacting

living things and their

(28)

Farming

• The growth of vegetation (plants) depends on rainfall and temperature.

• The vegetation on the lower slopes largely depends on which climate zone

the mountain is in.

• The foothills may be covered in broadleaved forests. These change to

needleleaf trees (coniferous trees) like spruce and pines at on the upper

slopes (higher altitudes).

• As you climb higher up a mountain it gets colder and the trees eventually

thin out and disappear.

• When it gets too cold for trees to grow, it is called a timberline

• The highest parts of the mountain support only sparse grasses and

low-growing alpine flowers which can withstand the harsh conditions.

• If the mountain is high enough even this vegetation disappears and the

(29)

People living on Mountains

• It has been estimated that 12% of the world's 6.8 billion people live in

mountain areas.

• The Alps are the most densely populated mountain area in the world.

Thirteen million people live in the Alps.

• Nearly half (46 per cent) of these people live in mountains in the

Asia/Pacific region.

• People as well as other animals and plants have adapted to living in the

mountains.

• The South American Uru tribe have larger hearts and lungs to breather

the thin air at high altitudes.

What is the climate on a mountain like?

Cold - freezing, thin air, icy, snowy, above the clouds.

Would you like to live up a mountain? Why?

How do mountains affect the people who live near them?

Mountains can make travel difficult.

–

why do you think

this is?

• Mountains can be very difficult to cross.

• They are often rugged and filled with forests and wild animals,

such as bears and wolves.

• Mountains can also be hard to climb or may have ice or snow or

glaciers that make travel dangerous.

• All this means that crossing over mountains - to trade goods or to

fight a war - can be tough to do.

• Sometimes, people who live surrounded by mountains feel very

_{Mountain Animals}

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zdj3d2p

Life on mountains for animals can be very harsh, but many animals are specially

adapted to live in this area.

• Food is scarce and the climate is very cold. Many predators hunt for food that

also lives on the mountains. Those animals who only eat vegetation are often

kept on farms.

• Animals have thicker fur coats to keep their skin warm and safe from the cold

harsh conditions.

• They also have bigger lungs to help them breath easier in the thinner air and

colder conditions.

• Animal life on mountains vary from continent to continent.

• Many animals that live in mountain habitats have sturdy hooves or large paws

in order to be able to stay balanced on the rugged surfaces.

• The animals in the mountains of North America (Canada, USA) include the big

horn sheep, mountain goats, brown bear, black bear, grizzly bear, mountain

lions and antelope.
