Living or Non-Living: What Living Things Do

  • BC1-SC-01

A list of what living things do builds up one row at a time (grow, need food, water and air, have young), and a rabbit, a rock and a flower are each checked against it with ticks or crosses and sorted into a living box or a non-living box. The living box then splits into plants and animals, a tree and a bird join the flower and the rabbit, and the video ends on the recap that living things grow, need food, water and air, and have young.

What the lesson says

Is a rabbit living or non-living? How can we tell?

Living things grow. This rabbit grows bigger.

Living things need food, water and air.

Living things have young, like these baby rabbits.

The rabbit does all these things. It is living!

A rock does none of these things.

So a rock is a non-living thing.

A flowering plant grows from a seed. Its seeds grow into new plants.

It uses sunlight, water and air to make its own food.

The flowering plant does all these things. It is living!

Plants and animals are two big groups of living things.

A tree is a plant, like the flower.

A bird is an animal, like the rabbit.

Living things grow, need food, water, air, and have young.
