Vertebrates and invertebrates! Hollow animals! Hollow animals, spiny skins, molluscs and worms! Facto finds out that there are mainly two large groups of animals – those which have backbones and skeletons of bone and cartilage and those without. Of the latter group, the simplest ones live in water and we discover the advantages of living in water… The Teacher’s Guide includes:
Facto listens to what the Flixies have to say about water and learns that it is magical material! No form of life, as we know it, can exist without water. It is an amazing solvent as all food for animals and plants must first be dissolved in water before it can be absorbed. It also used for washing and cleansing and even to cool off. But our supply of usable water is actually extremely limited… The Teacher’s Guide includes:
In this story the Flixies Learn about the winning recipe of the vertebrates – a skeleton of bones and cartilage inside the body, to which muscles could be attached. Vertebrates had unique features that enabled them to adapt to living on land. In this way many niches were filled, thereby opening up the land even further for the other forms of life! The Teacher’s Guide includes:
Grandpa Flex tells an interesting story about the first vertebrates, fish, how they moved out of the water and their progress to life and land. Scientist had naturally guessed what the earliest clumsy, ancient fishes must have looked like to be able to crawl out of the water and explore life on land. Fossils were even found to support the scientists’ assumptions – fossils of giant lobe-finned fish, which had fins that looked like primitive legs! The Teacher’s Guide includes:
Our friend, the Flixies, learns how important the interaction between plants and animals is. They learn how plants, as they spread over the earth, also serve to keep the soil “stuck” to the earth with their roots. In flowering plants it is particularly the reproduction that developed quite cleverly and the Flixies are impressed with the ways in which plants distribute their seeds. The Teacher’s Guide includes:
The Flixies gather at the seaside, where a big variety of plants and animals can be found. They having a brainstorming session – a think-tank – to discuss the different reasons why biodiversity is so significant and the use shells and leaves to make posters so that they can what they’ve learnt with others. The Teacher’s Guide includes:
The Flixies are introduced to a new concept, biodiversity – the wide variety of all forms of life. Why must there be so many species? Are all these form of life necessary? Would Spaceship Earth not have worked not as well with only a few types of super-animals and super-plants on Earth? Dux explains to Blox that there are one hundred million different types of plants and animals to which people have already given names – and that there are still places on Earth where there are most probably types of life which must still be discovered and described! Facto simply cannot wait to hear more… The Teacher’s Guide includes:
Facto hears from the Flixies about a narrow strip of land near the coast of the Western and Southern Cape, where the most remarkable biome in the whole world can be found. It’s a biome that is so special and unique that it is considered one of the seven Plant Kingdoms of the world. Grandma Flox prepared special rainbow sosaties for the Flixies to nibble on while they listen to the wonderful story of the Cape Fynbos garden. The Teacher’s Guide includes:
As Facto is sitting under his favourite tree, he receives a little note that comes fluttering down from the branches of the tree and lands between his feet. It’s a farewell letter from Flixies. Facto is downhearted, but he is also excited about everything that he has learned from the Flixies and the knowledge he has acquired about planet Earth. He sees the living things around him from a new perspective and realises that each living thing plays a vital role on this wonderful place that we call Earth. The Teacher’s Guide includes:
Follow the path and get learning with this first opposites adventure
based on the best-loved world of the Bear Hunt film.
We call living things on Earth, crew members and not passengers… Flex and Dux tells us about the earth that is covered by a thin layer of atmosphere and stays in space exactly the right distance from the sun, in order to carry all living things and to keep them alive. We learn that plants, animals and humans, each one of them – no matter how big or small – has a niche (a place and task) to make life possible for all on Earth. The Flixies also learn about the cycle of meat eaters, plant eaters and decomposers! The Teacher’s Guide includes:
Flixies addresses two very important challenges in our Education System, namely, reading without comprehension and environmental issues. Seven critical Thinking Skills have been identified through which this series endeavours to teach reading comprehension in the intermediate phase.
Kwax is the wetland expert because this where he enjoys spending his time. He chats about the great variety of plants growing in the moist areas around and in the waters of the wetlands. As far as biodiversity is concerned, our wetlands are one of the most important biomes. Unfortunately there are almost all under threat, especially those located near the coast. Facto always though that wetlands were simply muddy pools with plants, but he learns from the Flixies that wetlands are very, very important to people and animals!

Toying with Tangrams Activity Book. This 48 page A4 Geoboard Gems Activity Book will provide you with many varied activities for the EDX Education Tangrams.
Weet jy hoe ’n leeuwyfie haar welpie optel? En het jy al ’n
renoster se groot pote gesien? Kom ontmoet die Groot Vyf.

The Flixies also learn about the cycle of meat eaters, plant eaters and decomposers!
The Flixies (and of course Facto) find out how wonderfully this ‘spaceship’ Earth is built and how it’s positioned in space so that different forms of life on Earth can be sustained. They are reminded that the earth is exactly the right distance from the sun and therefore has the precise temperature to support and sustain life – it’s neither too cold nor too hot.
The Flixies share an entertaining time together in the wetlands. Kwax and Crox, the two water Flixies, stage a play act as though they are some of the ancient lobe-finned fish that first stuck their heads out of water. They crawl about in the muddy waters and wonder it must be like to live on dry land. And so the Flixies learn about all the problems that vertebrates possibly had to face with the transition from life in water to life on land… |
