Description
Living things grow, and non-living things do not. Telling those two groups apart is one of the first big ideas a young scientist meets, and this identifying things that grow worksheet gives Kindergarten students a clear, friendly way to practice it. Children look at everyday objects — a rock, a tree, a puppy, a ball, a sunflower, and a chair — and decide which ones are alive and getting bigger over time.
This kindergarten living and non-living things worksheet is built as two simple parts. Part A is a picture bank of six numbered watercolor illustrations, drawn large so little eyes can study the details. In Part B, students write each picture’s number into the box where it belongs: Grows or Does Not Grow. Because the child writes a number instead of a word, the activity stays focused on the science thinking rather than on spelling. Print it for morning work, a science center, a small-group lesson, or homework, and use the included answer key to check the page in seconds.
What’s Included
- 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
- Answer key
- 6 numbered picture cards and a 2-column sorting activity
There are three reasons this identifying things that grow worksheet helps children learn. First, it uses objects a five-year-old already knows, so the science idea is what the child works on, not the vocabulary. Second, sorting into only two boxes gives a clean either-or decision that builds confidence and makes a misconception easy for a teacher to spot. Third, writing the numbers turns a looking task into a recording task, which is the very first step toward keeping science notes.
Take the idea off the page, too. Go on a short walk and have children point to things that grow and things that do not, then draw two favorites when you get back to the room. Plant bean seeds in a clear cup and measure them each week so students watch growing happen for themselves. Sort classroom objects into two hoops on the floor and talk about why each one belongs there. Then ask a question that stretches thinking — will a puppy stay the same size forever? — and let children explain their answers out loud.
