Needs of
Animals and
Plants
Before You
Begin
It is important for young children to develop concern for their
environment. This unit leads children to appreciate and respect living
things. Through discussion, observation and experimentation, students
develop the skills to describe and classify living things. They also learn to
identify plant and animal requirements for maintaining life, and will come
to appreciate how plants and animals depend on one another.
Topic E: Needs of Plants and Animals
(Suggested time: 6-8 weeks)
This study, like Seasonal Changes, could run throughout the year as you
observe plants and animals during different seasons. Plan well in advance
for a trip to a zoo, farm, pet store, atrium or fruit and vegetable market.
Arrange trips to local parks or a conservation area to allow the children
to observe many varieties of plants in different settings, and consider
revisiting these areas at different times of the year. Familiarize yourself
with any allergies to plants or animals the children might have. Surround
the students with plants and involve them in planting and caring for them
as they grow. Invite parents to donate plants to the classroom for the
school year. Collect seed and gardening catalogues for the children to
look at and cut apart, in order to classify plants. Send a note home
requesting these catalogues.
This unit is a building block for the grade 2 unit Small Crawling and Flying
Animals, the grade 3 unit Animal Life Cycles, and the grade 4 unit Plant
Growth and Changes.
86 Grade One
Background
Information
The physical requirements of living organisms, plants and animals form the
focus of this unit. Students are asked to consider the question What is
life? and to develop an appreciation of the factors critical to the
maintenance of life.
To date, we have only one model for lifethe life that exists here on
Earth. All living things (organisms), from sea stars and elephants to snails
and tulips, are made up of one or more cells that share a remarkable
number of characteristics. For example:
similar overall structure and organization;
reproductive behaviour;
the use of the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) molecule as the vehicle for
passing genetic information to the next generation;
some way of breaking down food to obtain energy;
a similar biochemistry involved in photosynthesis and respiration;
an asymmetry of the molecules that make up the cells; and
a similar small-scale structure of the membranes.
In the most general terms, life is characterized by an ability to adapt to
changes in the external environment. The enormous variety of life forms
we find on Earth can be attributed to the many ways in which life has
adapted to the wide range of environments present on our planet. Even
environments that boast extreme and exotic conditions are often
inhabited by life forms that have evolved ways of attaining their basic
needs within these environments. Arctic plants and animals have
developed various ways to survive freezing temperatures and cope with
short growing seasons. Desert organisms have evolved means of coping
with sweltering heat and ways to store and minimize use of water. (See
the grade 1 unit Seasonal Changes for examples of these adaptations.)
Some life forms have adjusted to life without light, such as blind fish that
inhabit cavern pools, and the various deep-sea creatures that produce
their own source of light. Perhaps one of the most exotic life forms found
to date is a variety of sea worm discovered living near deep-sea thermal
vents. Other multicellular organisms ultimately depend on sunshine for
synthesis of primary foodstuffs (the starches manufactured and stored in
plants), but these denizens of the pitch-black sea bottom are sustained by
the sulfur compounds present in their environment.
Living things also show a high level of organization, reproduce themselves,
grow and develop, take energy from the environment and change it from
one form to another, and respond to stimuli.
Unlike inanimate objects, living organisms actively resist deterioration and
are said to be homeostatic. In order to maintain themselves as stable
systems, living organisms require certain things: a source of energy, the
presence of specific gases for respiration, water, a suitable environment

Needs of Animals and Plants 87
Energy
Gas for
Respiration
(Air)
Water
Correct
Environmental
Conditions
Space
(shelter might be required to attain this), and space in which to grow and
find food.
As mentioned earlier, the ultimate source of energy used by nearly all
living organisms is light. In a biochemical process called photosynthesis,
plants store the energy conveyed by light in the form of starches. Animals,
in turn, eat and metabolize (break down) these starches to obtain energy.
In order to carry out photosynthesis, plants also need water and carbon
dioxide and a source of other nutrients provided by a growing medium
(soil for terrestrial plants). The water in plants also transports nutrients to
areas where nutrients are needed.
Respiration is the absorption of specific gases used in the processes of
photosynthesis and metabolism outlined above. Plant photosynthesis calls
for carbon dioxide and the animal metabolic process requires oxygen.
Both carbon dioxide and oxygen are present in the mix of gases we call
air, so air is critical to the survival of most life forms (some micro-
organisms can survive without oxygen). Carbon dioxide is a critical
component in the photosynthetic reaction.
As seen above, water is essential as the nutrient transport medium of
plants and is a major reactant in photosynthesis. An enormous array of
substances (nutrients, metabolic waste products, essential minerals, etc.)
dissolve in water and are transported; it is also the basic ingredient in
plant and animal body fluids. Without regular water intake, plants and
animals become severely dehydrated (dried out) and eventually die.
Over a long period of time, plants and animals evolve means of accessing
food and water consistent with their local environmental conditions
(temperature, humidity, amount of annual rainfall, light level, etc.). An
important component of the environment is soillargely comprised of
rocks broken into very fine pieces. Soil also contains air, water and
decayed matter known as humus. All of these provide vital nutrients for
plants and animals. If conditions suddenly change or if the organism is
removed to another environment, the organism cannot function optimally
unless the original conditions are recreated.
Every organism requires a minimum of living space in order to attain
adequate amounts of food, air and water. When overcrowding occurs,
natural mechanisms (disease, famine, stress or a build-up of wastes, to
name a few) reduce the population size.
88 Grade One
Living Things
are Valued
Domesticated
and Wild
Animals
It is not at all unusual to find plants and animals that rely on other
organisms to provide one or more of the basic requirements for life. For
example, plants are the primary source of food for animals in an
ecosystem. In turn, animal droppings provide a concentrated source of
nutrients for decomposing that then make the nutrients available for
plants. Animals such as muskrats, birds and humans use plants as building
materials for their homes. Several plant species depend on animals to
transport their seeds to fertile ground, either in the animals gullet or
imbedded in its fur. Domesticated plants and animals depend on humans for
their care and welfare.
Children are often amazed to learn that without plants human beings
could not survive. We depend directly on plants for much of our food
(cereals, vegetables, fruits, cocoa) and indirectly for our other foods (meat,
milk, eggs). Plants such as cotton, linen and flax provide materials for
clothing. Many medicines are derived from plants. Just as we are
dependent upon plants for survival, plants are dependent on us for their
care. Without care and maintenance plant species can die, never to return.
Some animals rely on humans to take care of them, even though not all
animals that people take care of are tame. Domesticated animals depend
on people for some or all of their needs. Tame animals are friendly and
enjoy the company of humans. Wildlife refers to any animal that lives in a
mainly free state, providing its own food, shelter and other needs in an
environment. All domesticated animals have their origins in wild ancestors.
Domesticated animals are those that humans have tamed, kept in captivity
and bred for specific purposes. Wild animals in zoos may be tame, but
most of their species population remain wild. However, zoo animals are
not considered to be domesticated, even though they are cared for by
humans. Domesticated animals that escape and return to a free state are
referred to as feral.

General and
Specific Learner
Expectations
The following general and specific learner expectations have been taken
directly from the 1996 Elementary Science Program of Studies. The
specific learner expectations (SLEs) are referred to by number in the
second column of the activities table.
General Learner Expectation
Students will be able to:
Describe some common living things and identify needs of those living
things.
Specific Learner Expectations
Students will be able to:
1. Observe, describe and compare living things.
2. Contrast living and non-living things.
3. Identify ways in which living things are valued; e.g., as part of a
community of living things, as sources of food, clothing or shelter.
4. Classify some common local plants and animals into groups on the
basis of visible characteristics; for example, adaptations for survival,
such as claws, beaks, prickles.
5. Identify examples of plants and animals that are normally under
human care (domesticated) and ones that are normally independent
of human care (wild).
6. Identify the requirements of animals for maintaining life (i.e., air, food,
water, shelter, space) and recognize that we must provide these for
animals in our care.
7. Identify the requirements of plants to maintain life (i.e., light, suitable
temperature, water, growing medium, space) and recognize that we
must provide these for plants in our care.
8. Identify ways that land plants depend on soil.
9. Recognize that some plants and animals must adapt to extreme
conditions to meet their basic needs; for example, Arctic and desert
plants and animals.
10. Give examples of ways animals depend on plants and ways plants
depend on animals; particular plants serve as a source of food and
shelter, animals help spread pollen and seeds.

See Innovations in Science, Level 1,Teacher Resource Package, p. 122-127. This
topic can be integrated with the other grade 1 topic, Seasonal Changes,
when plants and animals are studied each season.
Stead (1980) did work on childrens conceptions of living and non-living.
Many pupils consider fire, clouds, and the Sun to be living. Some older
pupils gave reasons for this by stating that fire, clouds, and the Sun all
move, breathe, reproduce and die.
Bell (1981a) and Bell and Barker (1982) investigated pupils meanings for
the word animal. Many pupils thought that only larger land animals, such
as farm or zoo animals or pets, were animals. Animals were expected to
have four legs, be large, live on land, have fur, and make noise.
Bell (1981b) also investigated pupils meanings for the word plant. Many
pupils did not consider a tree a plant. They thought a plant was cultivated,
which meant grass and dandelions were weeds and not plants. Almost half
the pupils felt that carrots and cabbage were not plantsthey were
vegetables.

bring seeds and cuttings to
school.
Four different ways to grow
potatoes are examined here.
Select one or more and have the
children grow their own
