Living vs. Non-Living Things

● There are living things around


us, like plants and animals.

● Non-living things include rocks


and computers.

● Can you think of examples of


each?
Who Studies Living Things?

● Scientists called biologists study living things.


● They help us understand what makes something alive.
Rule #1: All living things move (MOVEMENT)

● Animals move around to get


from place to place.

● Plants grow and turn towards


the light.
Rule #2: All living things breathe
(RESPIRATION)

● Plants and animals use oxygen


in the air to turn the food they
eat into energy.

● Plants breathe through their


leaves.

● Animals breathe through their


cells.
Rule #3: Living Things Respond to Their
Environment (SENSITIVITY)

● Living things react to changes


around them.

● When it's cold, animals shiver.

● Plants turn or grow toward the


sun, this is called tropism.
Rule #4: Living Things Grow and Change
(GROWTH)

● Living things grow and change over time.


● Just like you grew from a baby to now!
Rule #5: Living things make more of
themselves (REPRODUCTION)

● Living things can make more of


themselves, this is called
reproduction.
● Animals have babies, and plants
make seeds.
● Can you name some baby
animals?
Rule #6: Getting rid of waste (EXCRETION)

● All living things must get rid of


waste from their body.

● Plants and animals get rid of


gas, water and solids.

● This is when you pass gas (fart),


urinate (pee) and defecate
(pooping) !

DON’T BE EMBARRASSED, WE ALL


GO TO THE TOILET!
Rule #7: Living Things Need Energy (NUTRITION)

● Living things need nutrition to


have energy to grow and move.

● Food is changed into energy.

● Green plants make their own


food using photosynthesis.

● You need energy to play and


learn!
Explore the World Around You!

● Go outside and look for living


things!

● Are the leaves on the ground living


or not?

● Write down your findings in a table


in your workbook. You can also
stick some leaves in your book!
