Living or Nonliving Sorting Practice for Young Scientists
In this activity, students are presented with a group of five pictures, most of which show living animals—except for one nonliving object that doesn’t belong.
Your learners will:
- Examine each group carefully.
- Decide what makes something living or nonliving.
- Circle the picture that does not belong in the group.
This worksheet is ideal for reinforcing the science curriculum outcomes around recognising the basic characteristics of living things and nonliving things.
