Living and Non-Living Things

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.

Young children can have difficulty telling the difference between living and non-living things. For example, a child may think that because something moves or makes a sound, such as a toy, it is alive.

I do believe that pinecone's are living things since they have the ability to grow and take water and the necessary materials for their growth. Even though I stand in the side that pinecone's are living things, I still have a doubt whether they are.
