Quarter 2 - Week 1 LIVING THINGS
What are living things?
Living things move, respond to stimuli, reproduce and grow, respire, and are dependent on their environment. Most living things need food, water, light, temperatures within defined limits, and oxygen. Non-living things are all the things that are not classified as living things.
There are seven characteristics of living things: movement, breathing or respiration, excretion, growth, sensitivity and reproduction. Some non-living things may show one or two of these characteristics but living things show all seven characteristics.
