Living or Not

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a sorting activity specifically focused on distinguishing between living and non-living things. The page is scattered with various colorful illustrations of objects and creatures such as animals, plants, and inanimate items like a bicycle, ice cream, and a pinwheel. Students are instructed to identify and circle the items that are living. The collection of images includes a mixture of animate and inanimate items, providing a clear visual for children to differentiate between the two categories.

The worksheet aims to teach students the basic biological concept of living versus non-living things. By circling the living things, children practice identifying characteristics that signify life, such as movement, growth, and the ability to breathe. This exercise helps to build foundational scientific knowledge and observational skills. It also enhances critical thinking as students must analyze each item and decide whether it possesses the qualities of a living organism.
