Learning objectives
Discuss questions about life processes while classifying pictured subjects as living or nonliving.
Use observations and teacher explanations to support a classification.
Teaching tips
Model the supplied-picture pages before the blank, drawing, magazine or sticker versions.
Explain that plants make food rather than eat like animals, and that reproduction describes a life process rather than a requirement for each individual organism.
Discuss why a nonliving thing can grow or change; one response alone does not determine whether something is alive.
