Grade 1 Science Worksheet - Challenge Me
Is it living or nonliving? Circle the answer.
A living thing grows, needs food and water, and can make more of its own kind. A nonliving thing, such as a rock or a ball, does none of that, even if it moves or is useful. On this grade 1 worksheet each item shows one picture and your child circles the word living or nonliving. Support sheets use clear animals and plants against everyday objects.
Standard and challenge sheets add trickier living things, such as a snail or a carrot, and nonliving things that seem alive, such as the sun, a cloud or a robot. Talk about why, not just which: 'it grows', 'it needs water', 'it is not alive'. The answer key shows the living thing for every item.
NGSS standard: 1-LS1-1
The picture is a cat. A cat grows and needs food, so circle living.
Thinking that anything that moves is alive, such as a car or a cloud, or that a plant is not alive because it does not move.
Ask: does it grow, does it need food and water? If it does, it is living.
