Number the illustrations in order.

Explain in your own words how the sense of sight works . 1

Our sight

2

We can see because our brain interprets the information it receives from our eyes . First, the eyes capture an image from the outside world .

Then, the eyes convert this information into nerve impulses . Nerve impulses are small electric currents than run through our nerves .

After that, the nerves carry this information to the brain .

Finally, the brain receives and interprets this information . This is how we see .

Sometimes the brain interprets the information it receives from the eyes in a different way . This produces an optical illusion: we see something differently from reality . An optical illusion is not real .

Get moving!

Some animals stay in one place all their lives . They do not move . For example, sponges and barnacles live attached to rocks . However, most animals can move around,

and they do it in different ways .

Birds, bats and insects fly . Lizards and crocodiles crawl .

Fish, whales and sea turtles swim . Humans, ostriches and mice walk .

Snakes slither .

Animals move at different speeds . Walking at a normal pace, human beings usually walk five or six kilometres per hour . Some animals can travel in one hour a distance that takes other animals a whole year! Here are some examples:

How animals

protect themselves from the cold

Write a definition for these words. Hibernate Migrate

Use the key and circle the illustrations.

blue migrate red hibernate

During the winter, the days get shorter

and the temperatures drop . So, animals need to protect themselves from the cold .

Some animals, such as rabbits, dogs, cats and polar bears, grow thicker fur to keep them warm .

Some animals hibernate . This means they sleep during the coldest months of the year . For example, squirrels, bears, turtles, bats and frogs hibernate and sleep all winter .

Some animals migrate . This means they travel long distances to find warmer climates . For example, storks, antelopes, whales, swallows and ducks migrate .

What does cephalopod mean?

Are cephalopods vertebrates or invertebrates? Explain .

Are all marine animals invertebrates? Explain .

Name three other animals that can swim . 1

Cephalopods are animals such as squids, octopuses and cuttlefish . These sea creatures are unusual because their feet, which are actually long tentacles, surround their mouth and are attached to their heads . Cephalopod means head-foot .

Did you know that the octopus is one of the most intelligent of all the invertebrates in the marine world? Octopuses also have excellent eyesight, although they cannot hear .

An octopus’s soft body looks like a large bag . It lives on the ocean floor, and its eight tentacles help it to move about and catch food . An octopus moves by jet propulsion: it sucks water in then squirts it out of its head so fast that it moves through the water!

Octopuses protect themselves in two ways . They squirt dark ink which blinds their enemies and gives them time to escape . They also change the colour of their skin so that they blend in with their surroundings . This helps them hide from their enemies .

Why do you think this is the oldest wheel?

Think about life before the invention of the wheel. How do you think people moved heavy objects?

The wheel is one of the most important inventions of all time . It changed our means of transport forever . The wheel is a simple machine that was invented over 5,000 years ago . It consists of a disk that turns on an axle . The first wheels were simple disks

made of solid wood . Wheels with spokes were invented over 1,000 years later .

Later, wheels were made of metal . This allowed heavy objects to be moved from one place to another .

After that, metal wheels were covered with rubber and cork . These wheels are still used today because they are so light and resilient .

How does drinking

water get to our homes?

River water collects in reservoirs . This water is not clean and it is not safe to drink .

First, this water goes to treatment plants through pipes . Here it is cleaned of impurities .

Once it is safe to drink, this water is distributed to homes through pipes .

Used water from our homes is collected through a network of sewers . Then it flows to treatment plants to be cleaned of impurities again .

Finally, the treated water goes back into rivers . Sometimes, it is recycled and used for watering parks and gardens .

Answer the questions.

Where is river water collected?
