Unit 6A: Interdependence and adaptation

QCA

Expectations

Most children will: recognise that a green plant needs light and water to grow well and that it produces new material from air and water; describe how animals in two habitats are suited to the conditions; represent feeding relationships in food chains beginning with a green plant and use keys to identify animals and plants

Some children will not have made so much progress and will: recognise that a green plant needs light and water to grow well, that different animals and plants live in different habitats, and that some animals feed on other animals and some on plants; use keys to identify some animals and plants

Some children will have progressed further and will also: recognise that green plants are the source of food for all animals and that they produce material for new growth from air and water in the presence of light
