    Identifying Living and Nonliving

    Things
    Preschool, Kindergarten, First Grade Science,

    by Alexandra Parlamas October 4, 2015

    Teach your students about living and nonliving things with this interactive lesson that keeps your class engaged
    as they learn!

    Learning Objectives

    Students will be able to ask and answer questions about living and nonliving things to clarify their thinking and
    classifications.

    Materials and preparation

    2 Hula hoops
    Book: What's Alive by Kathleen Weidner
    Zoehfeld
    Video: Living and Nonliving Things by Lindsay
    Schemm
    Assortment of living and nonliving objects (e.g.
    school supplies, small plants, books)

    Introduction (5 minutes)

    Ask the class if they are living or nonliving.


    Ask students if their pets at home are living or nonliving.
    Ask students to identify what they need to survive. Write "food," "water," "shelter," and "air" on the
    board.
    Explain to students that today they will be learning about living and nonliving things.

    Explicit Instruction/Teacher modeling (10 minutes)

    Ask students to think of a question, or something they want to know, about living and nonliving things.
    Remind students that questions start with who, what, when where, why or how. Allow students think
    time, and choose student volunteers to ask questions. Write questions on the board (e.g., How do you
    know if something is living? or What can living things do?"
    Play students the Living and Nonliving Things video.
    Check whether the class is able to answer any of their questions following the video. Allow students to
    turn and talk to a partner to answer the following comprehension questions about key details from the
    video:
    What are some examples from the video of living things?
    What are some examples from the video of nonliving things?
    How does Cookie Monster know that rock is not alive?

    Guided Practice (10 minutes)

    Read students the story What's Alive.


    As you read the text, invite students to turn and talk to a partner to ask and answer questions about what
    they see in the illustrations. Write example questions on the board such as:
    What is living in the picture?
    What is nonliving in the picture?

    Is a ____ living or nonliving?
    Ask students questions about key details from the text such as:
    How are you the same as a cat?
    What do living things need to survive?
    Then, sing the following song together to the tune of Frere Jacques:

    It is living!
    It is living!
    I know why!
    I know why!
    It eats and breathes and grows,
    It eats and breathes and grows,
    It's alive!
    It's alive!

    Independent working time (15 minutes)

    Now, place two hula hoops on the ground. Label one "living" and one "nonliving." Present the class with
    various living and nonliving objects such as a banana, a truck and a plant.
    Have each student come to the hula hoops and place objects in the hula hoop in either the living or the
    nonliving category. Have students repeat chorally, "Is a ____ living or nonliving?"
    Model looking at an item, and asking a question to clarify whether the object is living or nonliving. Think
    back to the information presented in the video and ask, "Does this object grow and change?"
    Continue until every student has had a chance to ask questions to clarify whether their object is living or
    nonliving. Allow students to take turns answering the questions, and classifying the objects.

    Assessment

    Observe whether students are able to correctly classify living and nonliving things in the sorting activity.
    Listen to assess whether students are able to ask and answer questions about key details from the read
    aloud and video.

    Review and closing (10 minutes)

    Have each student go around the room and find a nonliving object. Remind students to ask a question, "Is
    this living or nonliving?" Have students then answer their question using information and details from the
    video and text.
