Click here to start the quiz.

Remember to read every question carefully and good luck!!!!

Part 3
You will be assigned to work in pairs by your teacher. In pairs you

will create a leaflet to hand in to the visitors. Add the


following items to the leaflet:

• title (name of the animal or plant you have chosen)


• draw digestive or respiratory system (neat, colourful)
• label parts (correct spelling, neat, and clear)
• Add “Did you know facts” for example: Did you know that
plants use energy from the sun to change carbon dioxide
(CO2 - carbon and oxygen) and water (H2O- hydrogen and
oxygen) into starches and sugars. This is called
photosynthesis.
• Take a look at this leaflet as an example.
• Then you will give a presentation explaning you leaflet to the
rest of the class.

To complete this task the following links may also help you:

• Digestive Systems covers vertebrates, sharks, birds, rabits,
