Compare plants and animals
Kindergarteners discover what makes living things alike and different in this foundational Life Science worksheet, comparing plants and animals across characteristics such as how they grow, what they eat, and how they move. Teachers and parents can use it after a nature walk, a classroom observation, or a picture-book read-aloud to anchor the abstract concept of "living things" in concrete, observable detail. This early comparison skill builds the biological thinking students will carry through all their science education.
