Living

A living thing grows, needs food and water, and can reproduce. Plants and animals are living because they go through a life cycle.

Cut

3

Nonliving

A nonliving thing does not grow, does not need food or water, and cannot reproduce. Rocks, water, and pencils are nonliving.

Cut

4

Organism

An organism is any individual living thing. A dog, a daisy, and a ladybug are all organisms because they are alive.

Function

Function is the job a body part does. Eyes have the function of seeing. Roots have the function of soaking up water from the soil.

Cut

6

Structure

A structure is a body part you can see or touch that helps an organism survive. Leaves, beaks, shells, and roots are all structures.

7

Ask three questions

How do you decide if something is living? Ask: does it grow, does it need food or water, and can it make more of itself?

Looks alive?

A toy robot moves and makes sounds, but it does not grow, eat, or reproduce. It can look alive and still be nonliving.

Name the organism

Check if it is a complete living thing that can carry out life processes on its own. Then you may call it an organism.

Watch the part

How do you figure out the function of an animal part? Watch what the animal does with that part. A duck uses webbed feet to paddle.

Job and shape

A body part has a job. A bird’s beak is shaped to eat. A cactus stem is thick to hold water. Structure and function stay connected.
