Life Processes
There are seven special things that every living thing can do: move, make babies, feel things, eat, get rid of waste, breathe, and get bigger. This is the first quiz about these things in KS2 Science - that's a cool way to learn!
Have you heard of MRS. NERG? It's like a secret code to remember the seven science words: Movement, Reproduction, Sensitivity, Nutrition, Excretion, Respiration and Growth. Everything alive, even plants, does these things. Plants can feel the Sun and know which way is up and down!
Do plants move and grow too? Take this fun science quiz to see how much you know about living things and the amazing things they can do!
