Definition: (within a machine or machinery) Any mechanical means for the conversion or control of motion, or the transmission or control of power.

Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look! Today we’re tackling a word that sounds a little fancy – “mechanisms.” Now, don't let it scare you; it’s actually quite straightforward. The dictionary gives us a good starting point: “Any mechanical means for the conversion or control of motion, or the transmission or control of power.” Let’s break that down piece by piece. Think about this – when you look at a machine, like a car or even a simple toy train, what makes it work ? It's not just one thing! There are lots of little things happening all together. “Mechanisms” refer to all those working parts - the gears, levers, springs, and shafts – that together make something move, change speed, or send energy along. Let’s rhyme it out for a bit: "A mechanism's got a clever plight, Turning things with all its might! Converting motion, smooth and free, For machinery, you see!" Here's what we can really take away: "Mechanisms" are the systems of parts within a machine that allow it to do its job. It’s not just one thing, but a whole chain reaction! Do you have any questions about how these little mechanisms work together? Let’s discuss!

Definition: A discrete and complete living thing, such as animal, plant, fungus or microorganism.

Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look, At a word that’s important, a biological hook! “Organisms” – it's a term we need to know, Let’s break it down, watch our understanding grow. The dictionary tells us, clear and bright, "A discrete and complete living thing, with all its might!" Now “discrete” means separate, you see, It’s an individual, uniquely free. “Complete” suggests it has everything it needs, To live and grow, to plant and feed! And look at the examples – a wonderful crew, Like animals, plants, fungi, and microbes too! Animals with paws and feathers so grand, Plants that reach for sunlight across the land. Fungi like mushrooms, growing in the shade, And microorganisms , tiny, cleverly made! So, an “organism” is simply a living thing, That breathes and grows, and joyfully sings! Do you have any questions about this word? Let's discuss it together.
