Must know

1Identify growth, respiration, movement, reproduction, and response as signs of life.
2Living things need food, air, and water.
3Living things grow, respire, respond, and reproduce.
4Non-living things do not show all life processes on their own.

Formula / process

1Living things grow, need food, respire, respond to their surroundings, and reproduce.
2Group objects and organisms using observable properties.
3For Classification Basics, remember the definition, one example, and one common mistake before starting practice.

Exam traps

1Review the chapter summary, then connect the idea to one example.

Answer frame

Start with the exact keyword or formula before adding explanation.
Use one example, diagram cue, observation, or substitution to support the answer.
For 3 marks: definition, reason, and one supporting point.
For 5 marks: setup, method/process, example, conclusion, and final check.

Exam strategy

Write to the mark pattern

2 focus areas

Practice written answers Chapter test

Likely prompts

1Definition questions followed by one clear example.
2Process or diagram questions that test sequence and labels.
3Application prompts that ask why the idea matters in a real situation.

Keywords to include

1Characteristics of Living Things
2Fast recall
3Nutrition
4Respiration
5Growth
6Response

Avoid these traps

1For a 3-mark answer, write any three signs and give one example such as a plant growing toward light.
2If an example seems confusing, explain which life processes it does or does not show.
3When asked to classify, mention the feature used for grouping, not only the group name.
4Use words such as observe, compare, feature, similar, different, and group.

Answer frame by marks

3 marks

Give the keyword, explain it briefly, and support it with one example.

5 marks

Define, expand the idea, add sequence or evidence, and finish with a clear conclusion.

DiagramCharacteristics of Living Things

Signs that show something is living

Use the labels around the plant and animal to remember the common characteristics of living things.

Nutrition

Living things need food or make food to get energy.

Respiration

Living things use air and release energy from food.

Check: For a 3-mark answer, write any three signs and give one example such as a plant growing toward...

FlowCharacteristics of Living Things

How to identify a living thing

Do not decide only by movement. Check whether the object shows several life processes by itself.

Step 1

Does it need food, air, and water?

Step 2

Does it grow or change by itself?

Check: If an example seems confusing, explain which life processes it does or does not show.

CompareClassification Basics

Sort things by observable features

Look at visible features first, then group things that share the same features.

Plants

Usually have roots, stems, leaves, and make their own food.

Animals

Usually move from place to place and depend on food from other living things.

Check: When asked to classify, mention the feature used for grouping, not only the group name.

FlowClassification Basics

A simple classification flow

Classification is a method. It becomes easier when every group is based on a clear feature.

Observe

Look carefully at the item.

Compare

Find how it is similar to or different from others.

Check: Use words such as observe, compare, feature, similar, different, and group.
