Let’s go on a fun adventure! Imagine you are at the zoo. What do you see? You might see people walking around and lots of green plants.
Did you see the panda? Pandas are animals, and animals are living things. Living things are things that are alive, just like you and me!
Guess what? Plants are living things too! They grow and change over time, just like we do.
Now, let’s think about your toys, clothes, rocks, and water. These are non-living things. Non-living things are not alive. They don’t grow or need food like living things do.
Do you want to know how to tell if something is a living thing? We’ll learn more about that next time. For now, keep exploring and having fun!
That’s all for today! Remember to keep looking around and discovering new things. Bye for now!
Living vs. Non-living Scavenger Hunt: Go on a scavenger hunt in your backyard or a nearby park with a grown-up. Look for different things and decide if they are living or non-living. Can you find a tree, a rock, a bird, or a toy? Make a list or draw pictures of what you find and sort them into two groups: living and non-living.
Plant a Seed: Plant a seed in a small pot with some soil. Water it regularly and place it in a sunny spot. Watch it grow over time. Talk about how the seed is a living thing because it grows and changes. Keep a simple diary with drawings to show how the plant changes each week.
Question Time: Think about your favorite toy. Ask yourself, “Is my toy a living thing or a non-living thing?” Why do you think so? Discuss with a friend or family member what makes something living or non-living. Can you come up with your own examples of living and non-living things?
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
