What to Focus On

  • Living things are alive.
  • Examples: humans, animals, and plants.
  • They show movement, growth, breathing, and reproduction.
  • Non-living things are not alive.
  • They do not grow, breathe, or feel.
  • They can be natural or man-made.
  • Living things move on their own.
  • They breathe to stay alive.
  • They grow in size and age.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Plants do not breathe because they don’t have noses or mouths.

If something moves, it must be alive.

Rocks and mountains are living because they grow when layers are added.

Memory Tips

Living things breathe, grow, move, feel, need food, reproduce, and have a lifespan.

Plants breathe through stomata (tiny holes in leaves).

Fish breathe through gills, insects through air holes, earthworms through skin.

Living things grow — e.g., baby to adult, seed to plant.
