Plants are alive just like people. They are living things. Living things… Move All
living things move on the inside. They
move substances from one place to another inside their body. Some living things also move from place to
play by walking, running, swimming, or flying. **Some
non-living things can move, like a car even though it is not living.
Breathe or respiration Living
things trade gases with the environment.
Animals and humans take in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide.
Get rid of waste Living things
need to remove waste from their bodies.
If this waste was allowed to remain in the body it could be
poisonous. When humans go to the
bathroom or when we breathe out, our body is removing waste.
Grow Living
things grow and change. When
living things feed, it provides energy that helps with growth.
Change and react to things around them Living
things react to things around them.
Animals may hibernate when the weather turns cold. Humans may cover their ears when a loud
sound is heard.
