Environment Inquiry, Living Or Not?

Hello, This term our inquiry is all about environment and habitat.

Lately we have been learning how to tell what is alive and what is not.
We watched a video that told us about Mrs Gren. Mrs Gren is a acronym that helps us remember how to tell if something is living or not.This is what Mrs Gren stands for:

M-movement
R-respiration
S-sensitivity

G- growth
R-reproduction
E-excretion
N-nutrition

If something is living it must do or be all of these things.

The teacher read out some objects and we had to decide if they were living or not, here are some of the things we had to sort out,


Living:                                    Non living:

Jelly fish,                                 Vacum,
Cat,                                         Car,
Snail,                                       Laptop,
Fish.                                        Hot air balloon

We also had to go home and talk to our parents about fire and if it was alive or not.
what is you opinion? Is fire alive or not?

Bye for now!
