Here is a fun outline about Living and Non-Living Things!
1. Living Things
- Living things are alive.
- They need food, water, and air to survive.
- They can grow bigger over time.
- They can move, even if slowly.
- They can have babies or make more of their kind.
- Examples: Humans, animals, birds, plants, fish, insects.
2. Non-Living Things
- Non-living things are not alive.
- They do not need food, water, or air.
- They do not grow or change on their own.
- They cannot move by themselves.
- They cannot reproduce.
- Examples: Rocks, toys, chairs, bags, cars, pencils.
3. How to Tell the Difference
- Ask: “Does it need food or water?”
- Ask: “Can it grow?”
- Ask: “Can it move by itself?”
- Ask: “Can it have babies?”
- If the answer is yes, it is a living thing.
- If the answer is no, it is a non-living thing.
