UNIT: LIVING ORGANISMS

LESSON: COMMUNITIES OF LIVING ORGANISMS and ECOSYSTEMS

Let's start our lesson doing our Unit's song:

Question: Where do you live and how is the place where you live? Is it a mountain? Is it a desert? Is it a plain?... What things can you see in the place where you live?... That place is your habitat. There are many different habitats on the Earth, and habitat has different characteristics.

This video tells us about different habitats:

Different habitats have different characteristics... Some are hot and dry as the desert, some are cold like mountains... Living things need to adapt to these habitats... To adapt means to have special characteristics to survive in that habitat... This video shows you how living things adapt to different habitats:

Now... When different living organisms and non-living organisms are together in the same place... We call that... An ecosystem... There are many types of ecosystems... Big ecosystems and small ecosystems... Terrestrial ecosystems and aquatic ecosystems. This video shows you:
