The world is made up of things that are living and not living (non-living).
A living thing is something that is alive and needs food, water and air.
A thing that is not living does not need food, water and air because it is not alive.
Living and non-living things can be compared and grouped by looking at what is the same and what is different.

Plants are not living things because we cannot see them move.

Show examples of living things, including plants.

Living - Living things are alive. They move, respire, sense, grow, reproduce, excrete waste material and need nutrients.
Alive - Living things are alive.
Non-living - Something which is non-living is not alive. It does not show any of the characteristics of living things.
Sort - To sort is to put items into different groups.
