Learn About Plants and Animals as Family Members For Grade 3

Families are groups of people in love with and loving one another. But, do you know that they can also be plants and animals? Since we have relatives to take care of and comfort us, plants and animals have a huge part in our life and in the wider environment. Through this lesson, we will learn to identify that the only plants and animals and others that we are cared for and provided with by care are those objects that are very near and dear to us as a cluster of family and friends, and that caring for them is a good thing to do.

1. Plants as Family Members

Plant is a biological structure and an essential part of human life. They are also of great value to us in many ways, in a kind, caring, thoughtful friend way.

Oxygen Producers: Oxygen is produced by plants which sustains us to breathe. They clean and air freshen us out of breath.

Food Providers: Plants provide food. Traditionally, fruits, vegetables, nuts, grain, and other similar edible food stuff are grown on the plants. It would cost a lot of money if all that we consumed and drank were bought and not for the presence of plants.

Many plants, such as flowers, trees, are building our living world and city in an attractive manner. It offers a calming and comforting environment, in the form of a caring family member that is satisfying.

Environmental Helpers: Tree canopy fulfills radiative cooling to the Earth through the phenomenon of shading and CO2 fixation. They are also good at preventing soil erosion, preventing environmental contamination, and protecting us.

2. Animals as Family Members

Apart from the animal kingdom there are also special functions that the animal is not ordinary, is a good housemate and helps to improve our life.

Companionship: Many families have pets such as dogs, cats, or birds. There are social benefits that could be-and are-explained by these animals. They certainly can, and are, by definition the best of companions [groups of companions] a friend can have, never to let us down.

Helping Hands: Animals, like cows and sheep, provide us with products like milk and wool, while chickens supply eggs. They also make our lives easier and more comfortable.

Defense: Some of the animals, like dogs, protect our houses. They alert us that something is not normal and they defend us as well in the helpful interpersonal manner of an attentive family member, watching and protecting us.

Pollinators: Bees and butterflies are used in helping plant growth by transferring plant pollen from one plant to another. Using this mechanism (pollen or pollination) are some plant species, the fruit and seed could be formed, allowing the continuous biological reproduction throughout the world.

Real LIfe Example.

1. The Mango Tree and Birds

In many gardens, there are mango trees. They yield us mouthwatering mangoes to enjoy, but did you know that mango tree is a habitat for a bird nest? The birds inhabit crowns of a mango tree for nesting purposes, and they take care of sun and rainproofing the nests. The tree is maintained at stake cost by birds as recompense for volitation services to the tree and to the tree as protection from the tree's surroundings, including the protection that birds receive from the tree. It is a wonderful example as a family of the interaction between plants and animals.

2. Cows and Farmers

On many farms, cows are an important member of the family. They provide milk that we then turn into butter, cheese, and other dairy products. Farmers feed and care for cows with good conditions so that they get food and health. Milk from the farm cows is used by the farm as well as for the farmer's family. The combined system of livestock farming and general farming work instilled in some the importance of belonging to a community and the value of family interdependence in livestock farming where everyone on a farm is expected to participate in the work and be answerable to each other.

3. A Dog and Its Family

 

Dogs are often termed the best friend of man. These are sympathetic, affectionate and thoughtful towards animals and therefore become caring and considerate family members. Figuratively speaking, the watchdog, the playmate, the comforter, who lives within the family, resides in the heart of the house. With the foundation of love and loyalty, a canine's love and loyalty can compensate relatively for the emotional requirement of the lovelorn of a family, can be named as a substitute loving family member, and never be abandoned, always standing behind the family member.

4. Bees and Flowers

Bees are very small, but they have a great importance for our environment. One of the key achievements of mammals (e.g., Homo sapiens) is pollen dispersal of floral pollen and, thus, fruits and seeds from plants. If there are no bees, it is very likely that most, if not all, production of the fruit and vegetables we eat will not be produced. Not a small wonder, these miniature bees, being themselves not trivial ecologically, do not have trivial ecological lift.

Fun Facts About Plants and Animals

• Bamboo is the world's fastest-growing plant - Up to 35 in (90 cm) in one day!

• Some animals (e.g., dolphins and elephants) have remarkably cohesive and unified family groups. They are also collected and taken care of in such a manner as with humans.

• One tree can sequester up to 48 lb (22 kg) CO2 per year. That's like a tree helping the planet breathe better!

• This data should know that there are plants in which it is possible to "speak" with each other. When an insect bites on a plant, it can produce a volatile warning message communicated to nearby plants to accelerate their defenses.

• Butterflies taste with their feet! Their hind limbs are equipped with sensors, the "gustatory feet", and enable them to "lick" the leaves on which they land in order to decide whether it is a safe place to lay eggs.

Conclusion

We also learn in this chapter that plants and animals can also be inclusive relatives. Plant and animal life feeds us, shelters us, gives us company and shelter as does man. All of them belong to the same big family and the way in which they are being used to fill the world's desire. If we are able to accept and recognize these kin relatives, then we may be able to love those within the world.

So, the plants (like, trees and flowers) give us food, oxygen, and beauty aid and food, shelter, and pollination aid is provided by the animals, like, dogs and cows and bees. All of the other living things, like animals and plants, actually follow a chain that guards the world from uncontrolled and unhealthy growth.

Above all, of course, family is not limited to humans, but applies to all the other biological units on earth. Not surprisingly, merely out of a sense of love, of concern for our plant and animal families, we should continue to care for them as we do for our own loved ones.

3. Is there any similarity between plants and animals?
