# Living Systems: Plants and Animals Match

Plants and animals interact with each other in their environments in ways that can be represented and understood ([Topic](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/36335), [Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/36337)). When you learn about food chains, animal diets, how creatures sense danger, and the body parts that help them survive, you discover how living things depend on each other. This game helps you match key words about plants and animals to their meanings ([Details](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/36339), [Details](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/36430)).

## How to play

- The left column lists 8 terms (A to H); the right column lists 8 definitions or examples numbered 1 to 8.
- Write the number that matches each letter. Each number is used once.
- Check your answers against the answer key.

## Match the pairs

| Column A | | Column B |
|:---|:---:|:---|
| **A.** carnivore | ____ | **1.** things a plant or animal senses and reacts to |
| **B.** predator | ____ | **2.** an animal that hunts other animals |
| **C.** habitat | ____ | **3.** plant part that holds up the leaves and flowers |
| **D.** stimuli | ____ | **4.** how a plant or animal notices things around it |
| **E.** senses | ____ | **5.** underground plant part that takes in water |
| **F.** roots | ____ | **6.** eats mostly meat |
| **G.** stem | ____ | **7.** sharp curved parts on an animal's feet |
| **H.** claws | ____ | **8.** the place where an animal or plant lives |

## Answer key

- **A** matches **6** (carnivore: eats mostly meat)
- **B** matches **2** (predator: an animal that hunts other animals)
- **C** matches **8** (habitat: the place where an animal or plant lives)
- **D** matches **1** (stimuli: things a plant or animal senses and reacts to)
- **E** matches **4** (senses: how a plant or animal notices things around it)
- **F** matches **5** (roots: underground plant part that takes in water)
- **G** matches **3** (stem: plant part that holds up the leaves and flowers)
- **H** matches **7** (claws: sharp curved parts on an animal's feet)
