Hi there,
Here you have a compilation of resources from unit 2. I hope you find them useful!
1.The five kingdoms
Here you have two videos to get more information about the five kingdoms we are learning at school.
Besides, to put all this knowledge into practice you can click on the following image and try to solve some multiple choice questions. Good luck!
2. Fungi, protozoa, and bacteria
Germs are found all over the world, in all kinds of places. They can invade plants, animals, and people, and sometimes they can make us sick.
Fungi (say: FUN-guy): These are multi-celled (made of many cells), plant-like organisms. Unlike other plants, fungi can't make their own food, instead, they get their nutrition from plants, people, and animals. They love to live in damp, warm places, and many fungi are not dangerous in healthy people. An example of something caused by fungi is athlete's foot, that itchy rash that people sometimes get between their toes.
Protozoa (say: pro-toh-ZOH-uh): These one-celled organisms love moisture and often spread diseases through water. Some protozoa cause intestinal infections that lead to diarrhea, nausea, and belly pain.
Bacteria (say: bak-TEER-ee-uh): These tiny, one-celled creatures get nutrients from their environments. In some cases in a human body. Bacteria can reproduce outside of the body or within the body as they cause infections. Some infections that bacteria cause include ear infections, sore throats (tonsillitis or strep throat), cavities, and pneumonia (say: new-MO-nyuh). But some bacteria are good for our bodies as they help keep things in balance. Good bacteria live in our intestines and help us use the nutrients in the food we eat and make waste from what's left over. We couldn't make the most of a healthy meal without these important helper germs! Some bacteria are also used by scientists in labs to produce medicines and vaccines (say: vak-SEENS).

See you in class!
