EASYTEACHING.NET

Overview:

A cut-and-paste activity where students sort images into the categories of 'living' and 'non-living'. Designed for early and middle years students.

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify and categorise objects and organisms as 'living' or 'non-living'.
  • Understand the basic characteristics of living and non-living things.
  • Enhance classification skills through visual sorting.

How the Activity Works:

Students are given a set of pictures featuring items like a flower, shark, clock, fan, and car. They will cut out the pictures and sort them into the appropriate categories: 'living' and 'non-living'. This activity helps students develop an understanding of the characteristics that define living and non-living things.
