Let's solve this
"Living and Non-Living Things" worksheet step by step.
We need to identify whether each item in the grid is
living (L) or
non-living (NL). Here’s how we can determine that:
-
Living things grow, breathe, eat, reproduce, respond to stimuli, and eventually die.
-
Non-living things do not have these characteristics.

Let's go through each image one by one:
1.
Tree 🌳
→ Grows, breathes (through photosynthesis), reproduces.
✔ L (Living)
2.
Fish 🐟
→ Breathes, swims, eats, reproduces.
✔ L (Living)
3.
Pie 🥧
→ Made of food, but doesn’t grow or live.
✘ NL (Non-living)
4.
Trash Can 🗑️
→ Man-made object, no life functions.
✘ NL (Non-living)
5.
Frog 🐸
→ Lives, eats, moves, grows, reproduces.
✔ L (Living)
6.
Person (child) 👦
→ Definitely living — breathes, moves, grows.
✔ L (Living)
7.
Newspaper 📰
→ Printed paper, not alive.
✘ NL (Non-living)
8.
Snowman ❄️
→ Made of snow, melts over time, but not alive.
✘ NL (Non-living)
9.
Rocking Horse 🐴
→ Toy, man-made, doesn't grow or function like a living thing.
✘ NL (Non-living)
10.
Basketball 🏀
→ Sports equipment, non-living.
✘ NL (Non-living)
11.
Potted Plant 🪴
→ Plants are living — they grow, photosynthesize, reproduce.
✔ L (Living)
12.
Television 📺
→ Electronic device, not alive.
✘ NL (Non-living)

| Pie | NL |
| Trash Can | NL |
| Frog | L |
| Person | L |
| Newspaper | NL |
| Snowman | NL |

Summary:
✔ Living (L): Tree, Fish, Frog, Person, Potted Plant
✘ Non-living (NL): Pie, Trash Can, Newspaper, Snowman, Rocking Horse, Basketball, Television
Now you can fill in the boxes with
