I can explain different habitats and the organisms found in them.

I can describe some simple food chains.

I know what plants need to make food and can explain what happens to the plant without one of these.

I know what all living things need food for and why animals eat other animals or plants.

I can group animals into those that eat plants, those that eat animals and those that eat both.

I know what growth is

I know what new plants develop from.

I know that animals and plants are different in different climates.

I am able to identify differences between different habitats and describe how familiar organisms are suited to the habitat in which they are found.

I can describe some simple food chains and know that green plants need sunlight and other things to grow.

I can write simple food chains.

I can identify predators and prey and know what happens if predators increase or decrease and vice-versa.

I know animals have food preferences but can sometimes eat alternatives.

I know why microbes are important.

I know an animal lives in an environment because it is suited to those conditions.

I can list differences between organisms of the same species can classify organisms into plants and animals and identify a few major groups of animals.

I understand the purpose of classification. 

I know the five vertebrate groups.

I know the idea of competition for food/shelter and what an organism must do if it is unsuccessful to avoid death.

I can name the products of photosynthesis.

I can identify factors which affect the growth of crops and identify some organisms which compete for resources where crops are grown.

I can explain the parts of leaf involved in gaseous exchange.

I can describe differences between photosynthesis and respiration.

I can use respiration to explain farming practices including reducing animals movements.

I can relate the parts of plant to functions.

I can name the products of photosynthesis and some of the nutrients supplied by fertilisers.

I can identify conditions that crops will grow well.

I can write food chains and pyramids of numbers.

I can describe how pesticides or weedkillers may affect organisms, relating this to knowledge of food webs.

I can describe how other plants compete with food crops, and other animals compete with humans for the food crops, and that there are ways of achieving a balance between communities.

I can relate crop production to pyramids of numbers and explain some ways of achieving a balance between the demands of different communities within an environment.

I can explain how toxic materials can accumulate in a food chain.
