Global Warming
Human activities produce greenhouse gases, which increase global warming.
Greenhouse gases are gases that can trap heat. They let sunlight pass through the atmosphere, but they prevent the heat that the sunlight brings from leaving the atmosphere. Overall, greenhouse gases are a good thing. Without them, our planet would be too cold, and life as we know it would not exist. But there can be too much of a good thing.

Let's investigate: Individual Activity
Choose an interesting organism from one of the
5 kingdoms:
1- Find out if it is unicellular or
multicellular. Investigate what types of cells, tissues, organs or systems it
has got.
2- How does it obtain nutrients? How
does it move?
3- How does it reproduce? Which kingdom
does it belong to? Talk about this kingdom.
4- Find out three interesting facts
about your organism.
5- Make a fact file of your organism.
Include a drawing. Add photos and write the information about your organism.

Body Systems
In our bodies there are different levels of organization:
CELLS - TISSUES - ORGANS - SYSTEMS
Our body systems work together to provide the oxygen and nutrients we need, to interact with our environment and to reproduce.
Digestive System
Which organs are in the digestive system? What does this system do?
Watch these videos and learn some more.
Excretory System
The Excretory system is in charge of getting rid of wastes and extra water in the body.
