1. Hello, my name's .............. and I am ...............years old. I'm from Motril, Granada and I hope we'll be good friends. welcome

2. NUMBERS http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=_7AmBGd4tmU http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=edXQ39BdpCk http://acacia.pntic.mec.es/agip0002/auro/inicio.html

3. THE ALPHABET (animals) http://www.theyellowpencil.com/elalfabeto.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rN3S2vrlfcU Now watch this video and write in your notebook the alphabet and the words that you are going to listen begining with each letter

5. Why is The Earth the only inhabited planet? Oxygen Water Sun Gravity Mineral salts Appropriate temperature There is

6. Living beings Sun and water are two decisive factors for living beings : animals and plants . Animals and plants need oxygen to live and to breathe

7. Animals and plants are born grow reproduce move eat excrete die also eat and move: eat mineral salts from the ground grow up die Animals Plants

8. On the Earth there are more than 10 million different living beings legs Most animals have fins wings walk They can run swim fly http://www.ieslosremedios.org/~pablo/webpablo/web1eso/7animals/listofanimals.html

9. Animals classification Vertebrates animals with an internal skeleton Invertebrates animals without a backbone 98% of animals species are invertebrates http://manassas.k12.va.us/Mayfield/Current Files/Homework Club/VFT-Classification.ppt http://www.ieslosremedios.org/~pablo/webpablo/web1eso/7animals/describinganimals.html

Vertebrate Invertebrate Mammals Amphibians Reptiles Birds Fish Protozoa Annelids Echinoderms Molluskus Arthropods Insects crustaceous arachnids http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/ks3bitesize/science/biology/classification_3.shtml Protozoa Annelids Echinoderms Molluskus Protozoa Annelids Echinoderms Molluskus Protozoa Annelids Echinoderms Molluskus Protozoa Annelids Echinoderms Molluskus http://www.proyectohormiga.org/udidac/anivert/animales invertebrados.html

12. Mammals There are more than 4000 species of mammals They live in almost every habitat on Earth Most mammals have hair or fur covering their bodies Female mammals give birth to babies They produce milk to feed their babies Most mammals walk on four legs with only humans walking on two legs The largest land mammal is the male African elephant with 6,810 Kilograms

13. Mammals Aquatic mammals have fins for swimming The largest mammal is the blue whale which can be 30 metres long and weighs 150 tons The smallest mammal is a bat which only weighs 1.4 grams http://www.kidport.com/RefLIB/Science/Animals/Animals.htm

14. Amphibians They live part of their lives in water and part on land They cannot regulate their body heat They have moist skin They lay their eggs in water They are cold blooded a frog A frog A salamander Many species are in danger of extinction as a result of water pollution made from industrial factories

15. Reptiles There are more than 6500 types of reptiles They can be found in all types of habitat except polar ice and tundra They lay eggs in holes and nests.They are oviparous They have skin covered in scales crocodiles turtle sn ake lizard

16. Birds They are the only animals that have feathers,wings and a beak Birds incubate their eggs in nests Parents bring food for their children Some birds cannot fly (penguin, ostrich,kiwi) The largest bird is the ostrich which can weigh 150 kilos and their eggs 1400 grams http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/birds/ ostrich parrots

17. Fish ¾ of the Earth is covered in water There are 20,000 different species of fish They are covered with scales They extract oxygen from the water using gills Many fish eat plants, but others eat other fish

18. Endangered animals http://www.greenpeace.org/espana/fungames/animations/nadando-con-ballenas The causes of the crisis are the activities of a single species: human beings http://www.bagheera.com/inthewild/classroom.htm Lynx chameleon eagle wolf dolphin turtle black vulture seal whales tigers elephant coral reefs panda cheetah gorilla http://www.kidport.com/RefLIB/Science/Environment/EndangeredAnimals.htm

19. Invertebrates http://www.kidport.com/RefLIB/Science/Animals/AnimalIndexInv.htm

20. http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/ks3bitesize/science/biology/feeding_1.shtml http://www.kidport.com/RefLib/Science/FoodChain/FoodChain.htm Food chain

21. Habitat A habitat is a place where plants and animals live and can find shelter and food Habitats can be big like a jungle Habitats can be small like a leaf Ex. Your habitat is your house and everything you need to live (food, heat, love and adults who care for you)

22. Animals and plants can live in one habitat but they cannot survive in another one. When a habitat changes, the animals and plants that live there, are affected. They are adapted to their habitat. For example : An elephant lives in a hot habitat and has long big ears to keep cold. A polar bear lives in a cold habitat and has thick fur to keep warm.

24. The water cycle http://www.kidzone.ws/water/

25. Oceans http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/ocean/Watercycle.shtml Oceans cover almost 3/4 of the Earth's surface and contain roughly 97% of the Earth's water supply. Life on Earth originated in the salty seas, and contines to be home to an incredibly diverse web of life. The Earth's oceans are all connected to one another. There are five oceans: the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Arctic, and Southern. There are also many seas (smaller branches of an ocean); seas are partly enclosed by land. The largest seas are the South China Sea, the Caribbean Sea, and the Mediterranean Sea. Why are oceans salty?
