MODULE 3
❖ CHARACTERISTICS OF LIVING THINGS
 1.   They need air, food and water to survive.
 2.   They grow in size.
 3.   They move
 4.   They feel or respond to stimuli
 5.   They reproduce
 6.   They breathe
      4.LIVING THINGS RESPOND TO
      STIMULI
RESPONSE TO STIMULI IN ANIMALS
Sense organs in animals help them to feel the changes in their
surroundings.
FACT FILE:
             Here are just a few animals
             with senses sharper than
             yours
RESPONSE TO STIMULI IN PLANTS
A touch me not plant folds when touched.
   5. LIVING THINGS
   REPRODUCE
REPRODUCTION: The process by which living things produce
young ones of their own kind.
                     Reproduction
                         IN ANIMALS
         Oviparous                    Viviparous
          ( Lays eggs)                 ( Gives birth)
          REPRODUCTION IN PLANTS
Seed germination and through vegetative parts(leaves, stem, roots)
                RECAP

            ACTIVITY
Take a potato/onion, insert two
toothpicks in the base of the
potato/onion, place it in a glass
of water. Place it in such a way
that only the base of the
potato/onion, touches the water.
Use the toothpicks to support
the onion on the glass. Observe
the potato/onion, daily and write
your observation.
               ASSIGNMENT
ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:
1.When   we touch a “touch-me –not” plant it closes
its leaflets. Identify the stimulus and response here.
2. What are viviparous animals? Give two examples.
3. What is seed germination?
