What are some groups of living things?

We can group living things into animals, plants, fungi and micro-organisms.

Animals
There are many kinds of animals around us.

Plants
There are many kinds of plants around us.

Animals and plants die quickly without air or water. Animals and plants can live for some time without food, but not for long. After a while, they will die.

There are many kinds of fungi. They come in different shapes and sizes.

living things are also called organisms. Some living things are very, very small. They are called micro-organisms.

Yeast and bacteria are examples of micro-organisms. We cannot see them with our naked eye. We need a microscope to observe them.
