####
Step 2: Analyze the Images
#####
Living Things:
1.
Tree: A plant that grows, reproduces, and responds to its environment.
2.

3.
Dog: An animal that grows, reproduces, and requires food and water.
4.
Elephant: An animal that exhibits all characteristics of life.
5.
Spider: An arthropod that grows, reproduces, and responds to stimuli.
6.
Fish (Clownfish): A marine organism that grows, reproduces, and respired.
7.
Humans: Humans are complex organisms that grow, reproduce, and have metabolic processes.
8.
Butterfly: An insect that grows, reproduces, and responds to environmental changes.
9.
Plant in a Pot: A plant that grows, reproduces, and requires sunlight and water.
#####
Non-living Things:
1.
School Bus: A vehicle made of metal and other materials; it does not grow, reproduce, or respond to stimuli.
2.
House: A structure made of bricks, wood, and other materials; it does not exhibit any life characteristics.
3.
Chair: A piece of furniture made of wood or other materials; it does not grow or respond to stimuli.
4.

####
Step 3: Categorize the Objects
Based on the analysis:
-
Living Things: Tree, Birds, Dog, Elephant, Spider, Fish, Humans, Butterfly, Plant in a Pot.
-
Non-living Things: School Bus, House, Chair, Helicopter, Basketball, Juice Box, Ceiling Fan.
