Living Things Breathe

keynotes:

Breathing is Important for Life:

All living things need oxygen to live, and they get it by breathing.

How Humans Breathe:

Humans breathe in air through their nose or mouth, which goes into the lungs. The lungs take in oxygen and remove carbon dioxide.

Breathing in Animals:

Animals like dogs, cats, and birds also breathe to get oxygen. Some animals breathe through their noses, while others, like fish, breathe through gills.

Breathing in Plants:

Plants do not breathe like animals, but they take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen through tiny holes in their leaves called stomata.

Breathing and Oxygen:

When we breathe in, we take in oxygen, which is needed for our bodies to make energy. When we breathe out, we release carbon dioxide, a waste product.

Breathing Helps Living Things Grow:

Oxygen from the air helps animals and plants grow and stay healthy.

Different Ways of Breathing:

Different living things have different ways of breathing. For example, fish use gills to breathe underwater, while most land animals have lungs.

Breathing Is a Process:

Breathing is a continuous process. We need to breathe in oxygen all the time to stay alive.
