Living or Nonliving Things
This 1-page activity helps 7th graders differentiate between living and nonliving things. Students will analyze images and check off characteristics to determine if an organism is alive, building their observation and critical thinking skills.
“make me a slideshow- on each slide show a picture of a living thing or non living thing- students need to check off characteristics of living things to see if it is living”
