4. Introduce the three categories of living, non-living and once-living.

Although God created the whole earth he did not give everything life. Some

We can also describe some things as once-living. What do you think that

means?

Discuss the differences and similarities between the categories and then in
supervised groups go outside and apply them to what you observe as you

walk.

5. Observations can be recorded in the worksheet.
