A Peek Inside the Lesson
This is the real lesson text your child hears, read aloud by a friendly voice.
What Is Alive?
Living things grow, eat or drink and breathe. They can also make babies.
Non-living things do not grow, eat or breathe. A rock stays a rock!
Plants are alive too! They grow, drink water and make new seeds.
Some things were alive once, like a fallen leaf or a piece of wood.
What Living Things Need
All living things need water. Animals drink it and plants drink it through their roots.
Living things need food. Animals eat food. Plants make their own food with sunlight.
Living things need air. You breathe air all day and all night!
Animals need a safe home, like a nest, a burrow or a house.
Growing and Changing
All living things grow and change. You were once a tiny baby!
A baby grows into a toddler, then a child, then a grown-up.
Animals grow too. A kitten grows into a cat. A puppy grows into a dog.
Living things look after their babies until they can live on their own.
