Worksheet Description

The worksheet provides students with a series of images, each representing either a living creature or an inanimate object. Below each image are two options: ‘living’ and ‘nonliving’. The students’ task is to analyze each image, determine its category based on its characteristics, and then label it as either a living or nonliving entity.

To complete the activity, students should carefully observe each displayed image. They must recall the characteristics that define living things, such as growth, reproduction, and responsiveness to stimuli, and use this knowledge to categorize each image. After evaluating the image, students should mark or circle the appropriate label, ‘living’ or ‘nonliving’, beneath it, ensuring their selection aligns with the object or creature’s attributes.

The primary objective of this worksheet is to enhance students’ understanding and discernment of the fundamental differences between living organisms and inanimate objects. Through this activity, they can apply and test their knowledge in a practical context. The worksheet also promotes the development of observational and analytical skills, as students must deduce the nature of each item based on visual representation and their foundational biological knowledge. It’s an effective tool in reinforcing foundational concepts and ensuring that students can reliably distinguish between living and nonliving things.
