Meaning of Living Things
Living things are those things that have life in them. This means that living things are special because they can do certain things that non-living things can’t. They can:
- Move and Grow: Living things can move and grow. Just like you, they can get bigger and change over time!
- Eat and Drink: Living things need food and water to stay alive, just like you need your snacks and drinks.
- Feel and Respond: Living things can feel things around them and react. For example, when you touch a flower gently, it might close up!
- Have Babies: Living things can have babies or make more of themselves. That’s how families of living things grow!
- Breathe: Living things need air to breathe and stay alive. That’s why we take deep breaths in and out!
Now that we know what makes something alive, let’s go find some living things around us.
