Living & Non-living Things, Body Parts, Five Senses & Weather

1. Living and Non-living Things

What are Living Things?

Living things are things that are alive. They can grow, move, eat, breathe, and have babies!

Living Things Can:

  • ðŸŒą Grow - Get bigger
  • 🏃 Move - Walk, run, fly, swim
  • ðŸ―ïļ Eat - Need food and water
  • ðŸ’Ļ Breathe - Need air
  • ðŸ‘ķ Reproduce - Have babies

Examples:

🧑 People
🐕 Dogs
🐈 Cats
ðŸĶ Birds
🐟 Fish
ðŸŒģ Trees
🌚 Flowers
ðŸŒŋ Plants

What are Non-living Things?

Non-living things are things that are not alive. They cannot grow, eat, or breathe by themselves.

Non-living Things:

  • ❌ Cannot grow
  • ❌ Cannot move by themselves
  • ❌ Do not need food or water
  • ❌ Do not breathe

Examples:

ðŸŠĻ Rocks
💧 Water
📚 Books
🊑 Chairs
🚗 Cars
âš― Balls

Remember: Living things need food, water, and air to stay alive. Non-living things do not need these!
