We use energy for everything we do – we get our energy from food, and the energy in our food comes from the sun. Plants also use the energy from the sun to make food for animals and people. This presentation and lesson plan is ideal for teachers.

This lesson plan focuses on the difference between living and non-living things and the seven life processes: movement, respiration, sensitivity, growth, reproduction, excretion and feeding.

Arbor Day is celebrated on the last Friday of April annually. This is a special day to celebrate trees like a birthday. Its purpose is to encourage people to learn about the importance of trees and how to protect them for us and future generations.
