small weird creatures

 There are tons and tons of weird creatures living in us they are known as bacteria and germs.

This week I have been learning about bacteria and germs.

Here is some work I did:

Year:5


After you have read the book about ‘Germs Up Close’.  Answer the following questions below.


GERMS

  1. Where can germs live?

Germs can live anywhere.

  1. There are two processes to take to 

            see germs. Describe the process 

            they use to see germs.

By microscopes and dye.

31,800

  1. Describe the different shapes of a

bacteria.

Round, hotdog-shaped, wormlike and squiggly

  1. Explain what good bacteria do.

They destroy bad bacteria.

  1. Three types of bacteria are identified.  Describe each type by presenting it on 

    one DLO (digital learning object) - Google Docs, Google Slides, Google Drawing,

     Screencastify or another DLO that you haven’t used before.  

    Insert the link to your DLO to this question.


PROTOZOA

  1. Where is Protozoa likely to be found?

Dirty water

  1. How large are Protozoa?

They are larger than bacteria.

  1. Who do Protozoa act like?

Most of them are harmless.

        4.What do they mean by stating 

that  Protozoa are like parasites?

They need to live in or outside a plant or an

animal or a human.

  1. Protozoa come in different shapes and 

    shapes and sizes.  Explain more about 

    their features.

Some of them are parasites and they can

change their bodies into different configs.

  1. Two types of Protozoa are identified.  Describe each type by presenting it on

     one DLO (digital learning object) - Google Docs, Google Slides, 

    Google Drawing, Screencastify or another DLO that you haven’t used before. 

Insert the link to your DLO to this question.


FUNGI

  1. What locations on your body
    can you fungus grow? 


  1. Where can the fungi be found?

On your skin and toes.

  1. TRUE or FALSE? Fungi are 

    germs that make us sick 

    and other types that help our

    bodies keep bad germs off?

false

  1. Two types of fungi have been identified.  Describe each type by presenting

     it on one DLO (digital learning object) - Google Docs, Google Slides, Google

     Drawing, Screencastify or another DLO that you haven’t used before.  

Insert the link to your DLO to this question. 


VIRUSES

  1. Why do scientists consider viruses 

    weird?

Because they don't have cells.

  1. Describe a virus.

They are normally round and have little antler

like things.

  1. 3 types of viruses have been identified. Describe each type by presenting it on
    one DLO (digital learning object) - Google Docs, Google Slides, Google Drawing, 

    Screencastify or another DLO that you haven’t used before.  

    Insert the link to your DLO to this question.  

  1. Two types of fungi have been identified.  Describe each type by presenting it on
     one DLO (digital learning object) - Google Docs, Google Slides, Google 

    Drawing, Screenca.

Insert the link to your DLO to this question. 


GERMS

  1. How do we keep germs far away?

By not sneezing and washing your hands and

drinking clean water.

  1. How can we fight germs when

    they get inside of us?

The immune system does most of the work.

  1. What are the army cells called in 

    our bodies that fight off germs?

White blood cells.

  1. What role/jobs do these army cells have when fighting off different germs?

Some eat germs and some poke holes in

them.

  1. Use the information that you have just read about keeping germs far away and

CREATE a DLO 

  • Google Docs

  • Google Slides

  • Google Drawing

  • Screencastify or 

  • another DLO

To present a poster about the different ways we can protect ourselves from germs.

your poster.

MEET THE GERMS!



Your writing for this week is a variety of writing tools that you will be using related

to our learning focus: Meet The Germs!


The first activity you did with the whole class was brainstorming and listing all the

diseases that you would have heard about.   This has started your journey to: 

‘Meet The Germs’


B. List DISEASES I HAVE HEARD OF ...

Mrs. Ulugia-Pua: HIV, Polio, Chicken Pox, HIV, AIDS, Black Plague, 

Avah: Covid 19,Cancer,Chicken pox,

Valentino-The Plague,hepatitis b, hepatitis a, hepatitis c, Delta variant, Dephea, 

Rivith - Black death, spanish flu, covid 19, malaria, cholera, covid tongue, covid toe, SARS, measles, polio


Matua August- Cancer, Measles,

Leipua- delta variant, Kidney disease, Influenza

Healy - Heart disease, Cancer, Diabetes, Covid 19, 

 

Fatafehi - Measles, 

Edyn - Ebola Virus , Heart disease , CANCER , Strep throat ,Ischemic heart disease ,      

Covid - 19 : )



B. Write the definitions of each term in the box. 

Click on the image to take you to the dictionary link.


Bacteria

They are microscopic organisms that play a role inside living things.

Genetic material

It is our DNA also known as RNA

Microorganism

They are small things that can not be seen by human eyes.

Virion

It is a whole virus particle.

Virology

the scientific study of viruses and of the diseases they cause.

Virus

a tiny organism that can reproduce only in living cells.


C. Write in this chart what you have learned about the differences between

viruses and bacteria.


T CHART

Difference between

VIRUSES and BACTERIA

Virus

Bacteria






D. Watch the two videos about viruses.

A Virus Attacks a Cell!

Watch this video. In the text box beside the video, record 5 things you learned from

watching the video.

Click on the image to take you to the video link.


1. They use their nucleus to open the lung cells.

2. They trick the lung cells to open up.

3. When the cell opens the virus sinks into

the cell.

4. They live in human lungs.

5. They infect cells.


From your list of 5, what is the most interesting piece of information you have learned?


3. When the cell opens the virus sinks into the cell.



HOW DO VIRUSES REPRODUCE?

Watch this video. In the text box beside the video, record 5 things you learned from

watching the video.
