Sort the pictures into biotic (living things) and abiotic (non-living things) boxes.

Explanation:
We need to sort each picture into either Biotic (living things) or Abiotic (non-living things).

Let’s go through each item one by one:

1. Bird → Living → Biotic
2. Soil → Not alive (made of minerals, dead matter, etc.) → Abiotic
3. Plant sprout → Living → Biotic
4. Fish → Living → Biotic
5. Thermometer with sun and rain → This shows weather/temperature — not alive → Abiotic
6. Rabbit → Living → Biotic
7. Wave/water → Water is non-living → Abiotic
8. Sun → Not alive → Abiotic
9. Mushrooms → Fungi are living organisms → Biotic
10. Rocks → Non-living → Abiotic
11. Wind (swirl lines) → Air movement — non-living → Abiotic
12. Deer (fawn) → Living → Biotic

Now count how many go in each category:

- Biotic: bird, plant, fish, rabbit, mushrooms, deer → 6 items
- Abiotic: soil, thermometer/weather, water, sun, rocks, wind → 6 items

Each box has 6 slots — perfect.

So the correct sorting is:

Biotic:
- Bird
- Plant sprout
- Fish
- Rabbit
- Mushrooms
- Deer

Abiotic:
- Soil
- Thermometer (weather symbol)
- Water (wave)
- Sun
- Rocks
- Wind

Final Answer:
Biotic: bird, plant, fish, rabbit, mushrooms, deer
Abiotic: soil, thermometer/weather, water, sun, rocks, wind
