1. Look outside your window. Name two living things and two non-living things you can see.
💡 Solution Steps:
To answer this, first, think about things that can grow, move, and need food/water. Those are living. Then, think about things that stay the same and don't need these things. Those are non-living.
Examples of living things: A tree, a bird, a person, a dog.
Examples of non-living things: A car, a house, a road, a fence.
2. Why is a pet fish considered a living thing?
💡 Solution Steps:
A pet fish is a living thing because it has several important characteristics. First, it needs to eat food to get energy. Second, it needs water to live and breathe. Third, it can swim and move by itself. Finally, a fish can grow bigger over time.
3. Imagine you have a small toy block and a small plant. How are they different in terms of being living or non-living?
💡 Solution Steps:
Let's compare the toy block and the plant:
1. <strong>Toy Block (Non-Living):</strong> The toy block cannot grow bigger on its own. It doesn't need food or water. It won't move unless someone picks it up. It doesn't breathe.
2. <strong>Small Plant (Living):</strong> The plant will grow bigger if it gets water and sunlight. It needs water and light to make its own 'food'. It is alive because it can grow and change over time.
