Highlight the differences between living and non-living things with an illustrative Living vs. Nonliving Things Anchor Chart
What Are Living and Nonliving Things? A Refresher
Living things are organisms that demonstrate characteristics such as growth, reproduction, responsiveness to stimuli, and the ability to adapt to their environment. Plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms are examples of living things. On the other hand, nonliving things lack these characteristics. They do not grow, reproduce, or respond to stimuli. Nonliving things include objects like rocks, water, air, and man-made items.
