Identify living and nonliving things
Grade 1 students practice a foundational life science skill in this worksheet, distinguishing living things from nonliving things by applying key criteria such as growth, movement, and response to the environment. Teachers and parents can use it during an introductory biology unit to build scientific vocabulary and encourage critical thinking about everyday objects. The activity prepares students for more advanced classification work in later grades.
