2. I can tell why I think something is right by giving one or two reasons.

Look at each pictures and write L for living, NL for non-living, N for natural, and NN for not natural in the chatbot, and be ready to give a reason for your answers as we share and discuss them.

It helps us learn new things.

e.g., “Why do plants need water?” helps us take care of plants

It helps us make good choices.

e.g., “Why should I wear a helmet?” keeps us safe

It helps us solve problems

e.g., “Why is my toy not working?” helps us fix it

It makes us curious and smart

e.g., asking “Why do birds fly?” helps us learn about animals

Asking “why” helps us

STRECH IT!

• You are in a park. You see a bird, and a rock. Which is nonliving but natural? Why do you think so?

• What is the difference between these pictures? Can you think of any 1or 2 examples like these?

• Why do animals and plants grow but water does not?

• Can a wooden chair made by people still be made from natural things? Explain your thinking.

• The water in a river moves. Is river water a living thing or not? Why?

• Fire grows bigger and spreads. Is fire living?

Living vs Natural: Simple Rules

Moving ≠ Living

Growing alone ≠ Living

Man-made = made by people

Natural = comes from nature

Living = grows, eats, breathes

Looks like living ≠ Living

Made by people ≠ Natural
