How do you describe a living thing? Do all living things move? Talk? Breathe?
Our first grade Nature Detectives were given the challenge to sort some items such as soil, rocks, water, and photographs of various plants and animals as living or non-living things.
After a very thoughtful discussion, we learned that plants, animals, and people are all living things that:
1. Breathe air
2. Eat food
3. Drink water
4. Change and grow
Challenge question: Is a pinecone you find on the ground a living or non-living thing? Be sure to add a comment describing your ideas.
