About this resource
Description
Sorting living and nonliving things is one of the first big ideas in life science. Living things need food and water, they grow, and they change over time. Nonliving things do not. This living non-living venn diagram worksheet helps second graders compare a real polar bear with a toy teddy bear, so they can see which traits belong to a living thing, which belong to an object, and which traits the two share.
Students read six short facts in a lettered box. Then they write each letter in the correct part of a two-circle Venn diagram: the Polar Bear side, the Teddy Bear side, or the middle for facts that are true about both. It works well as a 2nd grade classification worksheet for a science center, a quick check after a lesson on living things, or homework.
What’s Included
- One printable Venn diagram page comparing a polar bear and a teddy bear
- Six fact sentences to read and sort
- Clear, kid-friendly art of both bears
- An answer key
Here are three reasons this living non-living venn diagram worksheet helps kids learn. First, it turns an abstract rule into a concrete comparison that children can picture. Second, it builds careful reading, because every sentence must be read before it can be placed. Third, the middle of the diagram shows that a living thing and a nonliving thing can still share some features, which deepens their thinking about classification.
Teachers and parents can extend the lesson by having students add their own facts to each part of the diagram, or by choosing a new pair to compare, such as a real dog and a toy dog. Ask students to explain aloud how they know each fact belongs where they placed it.
