About this resource
Description
Living things grow, need food and water, and make more of their own kind, while nonliving things do none of these. This drawing living nonliving worksheet helps young scientists practice telling the two groups apart by reading simple words, sorting them, and then drawing their own examples.
The worksheet opens with a word bank of six familiar things: a bike, a daisy, a frog, a kite, a rock, and a zebra. Students read each word, decide whether it is alive, and write it in the Living chart or the Nonliving chart. Next, they draw one living thing and one nonliving thing of their own choosing and write the name of each drawing on the line below it. Use it as a quick check after a science lesson, a center activity, or a homework page.
What’s Included
- A one-page living and nonliving worksheet with a six-word word bank
- A two-column sort chart labeled Living and Nonliving
- Two drawing boxes with naming lines for student examples
- An answer key for the sorting section
Why It Helps Kids Learn
First, sorting real words builds the habit of asking a science question: does it grow, eat, and breathe? Second, drawing their own examples shows whether students can apply the idea beyond the word bank. Third, labeling each drawing adds writing practice, so this 2nd grade living and non-living things worksheet also supports spelling and vocabulary.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Take a short walk outside before the worksheet and list things you see, then talk about which ones are alive. After students finish, have them share their drawings and explain why each one belongs in its group. You can also pair this drawing living nonliving worksheet with a picture sort or a nature journal for extra practice.
