Identify plants and animals
First graders sort and identify plants and animals in this Life Science worksheet on Living Things, building their foundational ability to classify organisms and describe what makes each group unique. Teachers can use it alongside a nature observation walk, a picture-sort activity, or a read-aloud about living things to make the concepts tangible. Distinguishing plants from animals sharpens observation skills and lays the groundwork for future biology units.
Learning objectives
- Identify and sort examples of plants and animals
