Can you compare and identify the differences between things that are living, dead, and things that have never been alive.
🟢 Living things – things that are alive now. They can grow, breathe, eat, move, and have babies.
Examples: people, animals, plants, insects.
🔴 Dead things – things that were once alive but are not anymore.
Examples: fallen leaf, dead insect, a cut flower, a log.
⚪ Never been alive – things that were never alive at all. They were made from materials like plastic, metal, or stone.
Examples: toy car, plastic bottle, metal spoon.
