1 Different animals move in different ways. Cut and sort the animals into the correct groups. Walk Fly Swim Slide I can distinguish between living and non-living things. I can sort into groups and explain my choices. SNC 1 01a

2 Does it move on its own? Living things can move by themselves. Some living things move quickly and others slowly. Some living things can run, others swim, fly, jump or crawl. Draw a line to each animal describing how it moves. hop crawl swim fly run Which of these animals can move by flying? Which of these animals can run on four legs?! I can distinguish between living and non-living things. I can sort into groups and explain my choices. SNC 1 01a

3 How Do Snakes Move Without Legs? Snakes are very agile creatures and this is because of their long backbone and hundreds of vertebrae and ribs. They also have ventral scales, which act a bit like the treads on a tyre. These specialised rectangular scales line the underside of a snake and correspond exactly with the number of ribs the snake has. The bottom edges of the ventral scales grip the surface and propel the snake forward. Label the snake to show where the vertebrae, ribs and ventral scales are located. Snakes have four basic methods of movement: These are called the serpentine, sidewinding, the caterpillar and the concertina. The Serpentine Sidewinding The Caterpillar The Concertina Now try the next activity and find out of you were right! I can identify and classify examples of living things, past and present, to help me appreciate their diversity. I can relate physical and behavioural characteristics to their survival or extinction.

They also have ventral scales, which act a bit like the on a tyre. These specialised rectangular scales line the of a snake and correspond exactly with the number of the snake has. The bottom edges of the ventral scales grip the and propel the snake forward. Snakes have four basic methods of movement: Serpentine - most snakes on land and in water use this S-shape movement. Starting at the neck, a snake contracts its, thrusting its body from side to side and creating a series of curves. In water, this motion easily propels a snake because each contraction pushes against the water. On land, a snake usually finds rocks, or dents and then uses its scales to push on the points, thrusting the snake forward. These rocks and branches are called resistance points. Sidewinding - In environments with few points, snakes may use a variation of serpentine motion to get around. Contracting their muscles and flinging their bodies, sidewinders create an S-shape that only has two points of contact with the ground;; when they push off, they move laterally. Much of a snake's body is off the ground while it moves. Caterpillar - A much method of movement is caterpillar. This technique also contracts the body into curves, but these waves are much and curve up and down rather than side to side. When a snake uses movement, the tops of each curve are lifted above the ground as the ventral scales on the bottoms push against the ground, creating a rippling effect similar to how a caterpillar looks when it walks. Concertina - The previous methods work well for surfaces, but snakes climb using the concertina technique. The snake extends its head and the front of its body along the vertical surface and then finds a place to grip with its scales. To get a good hold, it bunches up the middle of its body into tight curves that grip the surface while it pulls its back end up;; it then springs forward again to find a new place to grip with its. horizontal sidewinding branches slower surface muscles scales resistance caterpillar ventral forward ribs treads underside backbone smaller I can identify and classify examples of living things, past and present, to help me appreciate their diversity.

5 Understanding What They Mean - Iguanas Iguanas do not bark like dogs or purr like cats to communicate what they want. They can make some sounds;; however, more often than not they will position their bodies to convey how they are feeling to humans and other creatures. Below there are some descriptions of iguana movements that you may have seen an iguana do. Using a pencil draw a line to match the movement to the emotion which you think best describes how the iguana is feeling. Friendly Threatened Angry Curious Furious Very happy A basking iguana will stretch their front legs, stand up tall and raise their heads in the air when feeling this emotion. Fast head bobbing will tell you when the iguana is feeling this emotion. An iguana's most important sense is its sense of sight, but somewhere between taste and smell, it has the ability to flick its tongue in order to get more information about something in the area. Iguanas will whip their tail with an amazing aim and such speed when they are trying to tell you that they are. An extended dewlap can be sign of - OR an iguana may do this when he feels. Choose your favourite iguana movement and draw it on the reverse side of this page. I understand that my feelings and reactions can change depending upon what is happening within and around me. This helps me to understand my own behaviour and the way others behave. (HWB 2 04).

7 Understanding What They Mean - Rabbits Rabbits are not especially vocal animals and so like most animals, they often rely on moving their bodies to show you how they are feeling. When they are extremely frightened or in pain rabbits will let out a high pitched squeal but mostly they will use their bodies to show you what they mean. Below there are some descriptions of rabbit movements that you may have seen a rabbit do. Using a pencil draw a line to match the movement to the emotion which you think best describes how the rabbit is feeling. Angry Curious Happy Frightened Unhappy Disgust Uninterested A binky is when the rabbits jumps into the air and twists its head and body in opposite directions (sometimes twice) before falling back to the ground. instead of being held upright, but she is still turned to face forward or sideways. The rabbit turns its back on you and sits or lies down, without even looking back. Rabbits sit up on their hind feet to get a better view of the surroundings. This movement is called periscoping and it usually occurs when a rabbit hears an unfamiliar sound. A rabbit will put one ear backwards and one ear forwards when she is feeling like this. Rabbits will thump one foot on the ground (some will even hump both hind feet at the same time) to show this emotion. Rabbit will sometimes flatten themselves close to the ground with their ears back and close to their body. Choose your favourite rabbit movement and draw it on the reverse side of this page. I understand that my feelings and reactions can change depending upon what is happening within and around me. This helps me to understand my own behaviour and the way others behave. (HWB 2 04).
