About this resource
Description
How can you tell that something is alive? Living things share special traits: they eat, breathe, grow, and move. This draw a living thing worksheet helps second graders name those traits and then use them to prove that a plant or animal of their choice is truly living.
About This Worksheet
In the first part, students read four short sentences, such as a cow chewing grass or a seed turning into a sunflower. They use the word bank to write the trait each sentence describes in the answer box. In the second part, children draw their favorite living thing in the box, write its name, and list two traits that prove it is living. This 2nd grade living and non-living things worksheet works well after a nature walk, as a science center, or as a quick check at the end of a lesson.
What’s Included
- 1 draw a living thing worksheet
- Part 1: four trait sentences with a four-word bank
- Part 2: a drawing box with lines for a name and two traits
- 1 answer key page for Part 1
How This Worksheet Helps Kids
- Teaches the key traits scientists use to decide if something is living.
- Builds reading skills as students match clues in a sentence to a science word.
- Lets children explain their own thinking by drawing and writing about a living thing they choose.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Take students outside or look out a window and ask them to point to things that are living and things that are not. Talk about how a tree grows and takes in water even though it does not walk. After the worksheet, invite children to share their drawings with a partner and read their two traits aloud. You can also build a class chart of every living thing the students drew, sorted into plants and animals.
