Science 3: What Do All Living Things Have In Common?

water peanut plants get their water from the air and soil and both get their food [rain lashing down on a field of peanut plants]

from costco oh wait they actually get it from the water and or soil around them

huh guess that does sound cheaper living things all have a will to survive and [a shelf stacked full of books with a staying alive club banner attached]

everybody in the staying alive club finds a way to get whatever it is they need to

stay an active member for example all plants need sunshine to stay alive

instead of making them tan it makes them a nice shade of green which is kind of [a plant that has turned dark green in the sunshine]

like the Wicked Witch of the West during spring break because plants need

sunshine for the process called photosynthesis they grow towards the sun

so if we see a house plant bending toward a window or corn stock standing and [a house plant bending towards the window of sunlight]

tall we know that's the will to survive in action either that or they're spying on

their neighbors again so tactless animals are just as determined to [plant holding binoculars spying on their neighbors]

survive when humans build houses on the habitats of deer the deer take matter

into their own hands or well hooves if we see deer eating our grass flowers or any [woman walking along the front garden of her house]

of the tasty stuff in our gardens it's because they're just as determined to

survive as every other living thing not just because they like driving our

grandma crazy all living things also find some way to reproduce otherwise [a lot of baby ducks following their mother]

their species don't stick around too long so the will to make babies is a big

part of the will to survive even if babies crying all night can make moms [a baby crying as parents enter the room]

and dads second-guess the whole thing plants reproduce through their seeds

they stick in the soil they suck up water sun and minerals and suddenly

there are some new baby plants in the world new baby plants that are [plants shown to be growing from the seeds in the soil]

guaranteed not to keep their families up at night how kind some seeds are super

successful because they're sticky think it

free ride when they stick to our pant legs or the hair of our pet dogs or our [a dog walking past a persons legs]

pet orangutans if we have those the will to survive comes out in all kinds

of crazy ways sometimes predator animals even adopt prey animal babies like that [4 piglets following a tiger in a rainforest]

mama tiger had took care of baby pigs the mama tiger needs babies and the

piglets needed a mom so it was a match made in heaven although the mama tiger

did insist the piglets wear striped coats she didn't want the other tiger moms [piglets dressed in striped coats]

thinking her cubs were raised in a barn heaven forbid
