Is It Alive

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a categorization activity designed to help students understand the difference between living and non-living things. The sheet features two columns labeled ‘LIVING THINGS’ and ‘NON LIVING THINGS’ and provides a grid of images below that includes a variety of objects and organisms. Students are expected to cut out the pictures and place or paste them into the correct column based on whether they are living or non-living. The images include plants, animals, and inanimate objects, such as a car and a ball, to give students a clear and diverse range of items to sort.

The worksheet is crafted to teach students the fundamental concept of categorizing objects into living and non-living. It encourages them to observe characteristics of life such as growth, movement, and breathing. This activity not only helps in building vocabulary related to biology but also sharpens analytical skills as students determine the correct category for each image. Additionally, the hands-on aspect of cutting and pasting aids in the development of fine motor skills and reinforces the learning experience through physical engagement with the material.
