Spotting Living Things

Spot the living things in nature with this engaging life science worksheet! Young biologists will investigate living and nonliving things found in different environments. First, students will circle each living organism in the set of 12 pictures. Then, students will select one living and one non-living thing and draw how they would interact together. 

Designed for first-grade students, this worksheet strengthens categorization skills while helping learners develop a clearer understanding of what defines life. By moving beyond simple identification and encouraging students to think about interactions within environments, the worksheet supports a deeper understanding of living systems and relationships in the natural world.
