Chapter 1
Living and Nonliving Things
Discovering Living and Nonliving Things
A Phuket schoolyard is full of clues. A green leaf grows on a tree. An ant walks near the playground. A smooth stone stays still. We can look closely and notice how these things are different.
You can explore your home, school, and nearby nature. It is fun to find living things and nonliving things in places you know. We will record what we see with a drawing, a circle, or a simple note.
Looking for Clues
Living means something that is alive. Living things need water and food, grow, and can make more living things. A child, cat, tree, flower, and tiny ant are living things.
Nonliving means something that is not alive. Nonliving things do not grow by themselves or need food. A toy car, cup, rock, spoon, and playground slide are nonliving things.
A fallen leaf may look still, but it came from a living tree. It is no longer growing. We can look for clues without touching plants or animals.
1. Look carefully. 2. Notice if the thing grows, moves by itself, or needs water and food. 3. Draw or write what you found.
At home, a pet dog is living, but its bowl is nonliving. In Phuket, a coconut tree is living, while the sand and shells around it are nonliving. In a cold forest, a pine tree is living, while ice is nonliving.
One Careful Example
1. We see a red ball beside the school steps. 2. The ball does not grow. 3. The ball does not need food or water. 4. The ball can move only when someone kicks it. 5. The red ball is nonliving.
Now we see a small lizard on a warm wall. It can move by itself and needs food and water. The lizard is living.
Explore and Record
Take a short walk around your classroom, home, or schoolyard with an adult. Stay gentle and safe. Do not pick flowers or touch unknown animals.
• Draw one living thing, such as a tree, bird, ant, or pet. - Circle the living things in this group: leaf, spoon, gecko, stone. - Match each thing to living or nonliving: toy, flower, dog, shell. - Colour a green plant and a brown rock in your picture.
Look near a window, under a tree, or beside your front door. Can you find one living thing and one nonliving thing, then draw both?
