Living or Nonliving Worksheet

Are your students learning about living and nonliving things? What does that mean exactly? Something that is living means that it grows and develops, uses energy, is made of cells, and needs food/nutrients in order to survive. 

With this worksheet, students will look at various pictures and determine which are living and nonliving. Encourage the students to follow the color key by coloring the living things blue and the nonliving things orange.

Through this activity, students will show they can classify living and nonliving things based on whether they have basic needs and produce offspring.

An answer key is included with your download to make grading fast and easy!
