Living things and careful observations · Revision sheet
Use more than movement to decide whether something is alive.
Learn the idea
Observe
Living things carry out life processes such as using resources, growing and responding; not every process is obvious at one moment.
Plants
Plants are living even though they do not walk from place to place.
Compare
An object moving because it is pushed is not necessarily living.
Care
Observe safely without harming organisms or tasting unknown plants.
Explain without looking
- Which action records an observation rather than a guess about purpose?
- Explain one difference between a seed and a plastic bead that looks like it.
