Description
The Is it a Living Thing Worksheet gives first graders a clear, hands-on way to practice sorting the world into living and non-living things. A living thing grows, needs food, water, and air, and can make more of its own kind; a non-living thing does none of those. This 1st grade living and non-living things worksheet keeps the pictures simple and the choices short, so students spend their thinking on the science and not on the reading.
Students look at six pictures, decide whether each one is living or not living, and copy the right words from the word box onto the writing line under each picture. Print the page, read the two word-box choices aloud together, and let students work through the cards one at a time. Talk through the tricky ones as a class, then check the answers with the included answer key on the second page.
What’s Included
- Six picture cards with a rabbit, a bicycle, a rock, a fern, a goldfish, and a spoon
- A two-word box with living and not living for spelling support
- One wide writing line under each picture for the answer
- A Name and Date line at the top of the page
- A complete answer key on the final page
Three Reasons This Helps Kids
- It makes the science concrete. Real, familiar objects give students something to reason about instead of a definition to memorize.
- It supports the writing. The word box spells both answers, so a beginning writer can record a correct answer independently.
- It builds science talk. Every card invites the question that matters most, which is how do you know?
Teacher and Parent Ideas
- Before writing, ask students to name one thing each living picture needs to stay alive.
- Have students add a picture of their own to the back of the page for each group.
- Take the Is it a Living Thing Worksheet outside and find one living and one non-living thing on the playground.
- Use it as a quick check before or after a unit on plants and animals.
