Have you ever wondered what makes your pet dog so full of energy, but your teddy bear just lies still? Why does a flower grow, but your toy car doesn't?
That's because the world is made of living things and non-living things!
Let's learn how to tell them apart—and have fun while doing it!
Living things are alive! They can:
Non-living things are not alive. They do NOT grow, eat, move, or feel.
But wait! Some non-living things used to be living—like wood! 🌳
Here are some fun sample questions just for YOU!
🖍️ Draw a big circle and label it "Living Things." Draw a smaller circle next to it and label it "Non-Living Things." Now draw pictures of 3 things that go in each circle!
Hint: Think of your school bag and the park!
| Activities | 🌱 Living Things | 🪨 Non-Living Things |
|---|---|---|
| Move | ✅ Yes | ❌ No |
| Grow | ✅ Yes | ❌ No |
| Eat | ✅ Yes | ❌ No |
| Feel | ✅ Yes | ❌ No |
| Have Babies | ✅ Yes | ❌ No |
Knowing the difference helps you understand how the world works! 🌍
And it's the first step to becoming a science superstar! 🌟
