How do our bodies keep us alive?
How do we know
other things are
alive?

What are the five Kingdoms?

How do we know is something is
‘living’? All living things are characterised as being able to do seven
things
These are usually remembered by the mnemonic MRS NERG
M
R
S
N
E
R
G
Can you guess
what these letters
stand for?

The 7 characteristics of Living
ThingsMovement – Animals move to find food and keep away from
predators, plants move to face the light
Reproduction – the ability to produce offspring to keep the
species in existence
Sensitivity – responding and reacting to the environment
Nutrition – Animals need food for respiration, plants need minerals
from the soil
Excretion – Getting rid of waste
Respiration – Turning food into energy
Growth – Growing larger and stronger becoming adult size

Classification of Living ThingsEverything that is
living can be sorted
into these 5
kingdomsKingdom Moneran
Protist Kingdom
Fungi Kingdom
Plant Kingdom
Animal Kingdom

Kingdom Moneran
Tiny, single-celled organisms
Do not have a nucleus
E.g. bacteria
![Page 10: Living Things - Harlow Green](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012915/61c633df2f7796275244e5b6/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Protist Kingdom
Single-celled organisms with a nucleus
Live in damp places of water
E.g. amoeba
![Page 11: Living Things - Harlow Green](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012915/61c633df2f7796275244e5b6/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Fungi Kingdom
Body is made up of a network of
threads called hyphae
E.g moulds, mushrooms
![Page 12: Living Things - Harlow Green](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012915/61c633df2f7796275244e5b6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Plant Kingdom
Multicellular – made up of lots of cells
Make their own food by photosynthesis
Lots of examples: flowering plants /
non-flowering plants
![Page 13: Living Things - Harlow Green](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012915/61c633df2f7796275244e5b6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Animal Kingdom
Multicellular – made up of may specialised
cells
Cannot make own food
Can be further classified into vertebrates and
non-vertebrates then into classes such as
amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals

Task1. Everyone
Make a list of the 7 characteristics of Living Things (MRS
NERG)
Make a list of the 5 Kingdoms of Living Things and their
characteristics (try to write an example for each)
2. Extension Research one of the 5 Kingdoms in more detail
Make a fact page / fact file
