Living and Nonliving Things

Practice identifying living and nonliving things with this science worksheet! Students will first read brief definitions of living and nonliving things. Then, learners will review eight different images and classify each as living or nonliving based on the provided definitions.

Designed for first and second graders, this worksheet helps show students that science is a part of daily life! Learners regularly interact with living things, and this worksheet will prompt them to think critically about what that means. Distinguishing living from nonliving things provides foundational knowledge to understanding more complex concepts such as life cycles and reproduction.
