Kindergarten Science · World 7: Alive or Not? · Level 43
Alive or Not Alive?
Tell living things from objects, even objects that move or grow.
Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.
What children learn in Level 43
- How can we tell if something is alive? Ask: does it grow? Does it need food or sunlight, and water? Does it make more of its kind?
- A frog grows, eats, and drinks. A frog is alive!
- A toy car can move, but it never grows or eats. A toy car is not alive.
- Some things move or grow, but they still aren't alive, like a cloud or an icicle. And a tree can't walk, but it is alive!
- Try it with a grown-up! Look around the room. Point to something alive, and something not alive.
Georgia Standards of Excellence in Science:
- SKL1.a — Construct an explanation based on observations to recognize the differences between organisms and non-living objects.
