Stop and Discuss How can you tell if something is living or nonliving? Take a few minutes to discuss with your classmates some characteristics that all living things have in common. Office of Academics - Department of Science

Classify these objects as living or non- living. Living Nonliving Living Office of Academics – Department of Science

Let’s make Observations! What is the difference between something that is living and something that is nonliving? In your groups, design a table, chart, or graphic organizer you can use to write the characteristics between living things and nonliving things and their interactions. Take a field trip outside to make observations of living and nonliving things. Office of Academics – Department of Science
