Living & Non-Living Things – Fold-and-Read Booklet

State the four needs of living things — food, water, air, and a place to live — and that living things can reproduce

Contrast living and non-living things using the parallel wording of the two definitions

Classify things as living or nonliving in response to the booklet's question prompt

Model the folding once for the whole class before handing out sheets, since the panels print in mixed orientations on the flat page

Choral-read the two definition panels together so students hear how the non-living definition mirrors the living one word for word

Extend the "Is it living or nonliving?" panel beyond the booklet: point at classroom objects, plants and pets and have students answer using the definitions they just read

Living vs. non-living classification — students answer "Is it living or nonliving?" using the booklet's paired definitions.

Science vocabulary — the definitions establish that living things need food, water, air and a place to live, and can reproduce.

Booklet folding — the single printed sheet is folded into a small reader before use.
