Children will begin to distinguish between living and non-living things. They will learn to identify characteristics that define living things, such as the ability to grow, change, and move, as well as needing food and water. For example, children will understand that a plant is a living thing because it grows and needs water, while a rock is non-living because it doesn't grow or need food. Through observation and discussion, children will understand the differences between living and non-living things in their environment.
