Living Things Grow Old And Die
key notes:
Growth:
- All living things, including plants, animals, and humans, grow over time.
- Living things start from a small or young stage (like a baby or seed) and become bigger and stronger as they grow.
Aging:
- As living things grow, they get older.
- Older living things may slow down and show signs of aging, like wrinkles in humans or changes in animals and plants.
Life Cycle:
- Every living thing has a life cycle, which includes stages like birth, growth, aging, and death.
- Different living things have different life cycles, some may live for years, others for only a short time.
Death:
- All living things eventually die. This is a natural part of life.
- Death happens when the body can no longer function, and the living thing stops growing and changing.
Why Death Happens:
- Living things die when their body can no longer repair itself or do important things like breathing, eating, and moving.
- Death is part of the cycle of nature and helps make room for new life.
Importance of the Cycle:
- The cycle of life, including growth, aging, and death, helps keep nature in balance.
- When one living thing dies, it can provide food or resources for others, like plants growing in the soil after an animal dies.
Respecting Life:
- It’s important to understand that all living things have a life cycle, and we should treat all life with care and respect.
- Learning about growth, aging, and death helps us understand the world around us better.
