Teaching guide, sample answers and curriculum references

Before you begin

Read or listen to the model and identify what the task asks before responding.

How to use this worksheet

  1. Which example is living?
  2. Say one detail that supports the living classification.
  3. A toy rolls when pushed. Does that make it living? Why?

A common mistake to discuss

No. Motion can result from a push and is not sufficient evidence of life.

What to practice next

Create a different example that preserves the learning goal, and explain how you would check it.
