Bats can move by flying.

Dogs run on four legs.

The concept of living and non-living things isintroduced. The child will often say something is alivebecause it moves. Discuss things that move but are notalive, such as rolling balls. Help the child develop theidea that living things can move on their own.

37 ✩Is it a living thing?ObservationsLiving things can move, eat, and grow. Living things can make more livingthings. They have babies. Things that are not alive cannot do any of thesethings.

Science activityDraw a circle around each living thing that is alive.

This section provides answers and explanatory notes for the science activities

and explorations. When appropriate, use an inquiry form to guide the child

through an exploration. The Science word power worksheet should be used to

help the child better understand scientific concepts while building vocabulary.

These templates also may be available to download from DK’s website.
