The animal, fungus and bacteria kingdoms The animal kingdom: Patterns, functions, relationships Discuss ways which animals help people, and how (e.g. bees pollinate plants without which we wouldn't eat any fruit, spiders eat mosquitoes).

The animal, fungus and bacteria kingdoms The animal kingdom: Patterns, functions, relationships Learn about animal adaptations to extreme conditions (e.g. cold, wet, dry, hot).
The animal, fungus and bacteria kingdoms Mushrooms Learn that there are many species of mushrooms, and that some are edible and others poisonous.
The animal, fungus and bacteria kingdoms Mushrooms Listen to a story about trees talking to each in a forest through the tiny thread like web of fungi that interconnect the roots of the trees throughout the entire forest.
