How to do this — Living and Non-living Things
Groups of things
One clear way to tell a living thing from a non-living thing is that living things can grow and reproduce. A dog, a tree and a child are all living. A table and a rock are not.
Living — grows, feeds, reproduces vs Non-living — does not grow or feed
