Good Morning Kindergarten! Last week we learned all about
trees and animals that live in trees. Today I want to talk a little more about
all living things and what they need to survive. Let’s start by learning about
the difference between living and non-living things. https://youtu.be/Gy60BqCnTG4
This video says that things like sticks and dead leaves
still count as living things. In our classroom we actually make a third
category called “once living” meaning that they were living, but now they are
not. What else might go into the once living category? How about a dead spider
or tree lying on the forest floor? Here’s a tricky question, is water living or
non-living? Water is actually non-living. It does not reproduce or need nutrients.
In fact, it is a major nutrient for almost every living thing.
Let’s learn more about what living things need to survive.
Living things are typically split into two categories: plants and animals. Let’s
start by looking at what plants need to survive.
Now let’s look at what animals need to survive. It’s similar
to what plants need, but not exactly the same. See if you can spot the differences.
For today’s activity I’m going to ask you to make a Venn
Diagram. A Venn diagram is a picture with two circles that shows how things are
related. On one side we are going to put what plants need to survive, on the
other we will put what animals need, and in the middle, we will put what both plants
and animals need. When you are done making your own Venn diagram don’t forget
to send it to me so I can see it.
