Is it living or non-living - can it move on its own? Does it need air? Does it need water and food? Does it produce waste? Does it react to things that happen around it? Does it grow? Can it reproduce? Ask these questions about the things around you to learn if they are alive or not alive. From cats to plants; robots to skin cells and toys to clothes; using fun experiments and activities and answering critical thinking questions kids will discover if things are alive, were once alive or have never been alive. This title is supported with downloadable worksheets.
