Living, Dead & Never Alive
Science · Ecosystems & Habitats · conceptual
Explore and compare the differences between things that are living, dead, and things that have never been alive
What mastery looks like
- Sort a collection of objects into three groups: living, dead (was once alive), never alive
- Give reasons for each sorting decision (e.g. 'the leaf was on a tree so it was alive once')
- List characteristics of living things such as growing, breathing, reproducing, and moving
Check your understanding
If you show Living, Dead & Never Alive a rock, a fallen leaf, and a caterpillar, can they tell you which is alive, which was once alive, and which was never alive?
