LEARNING ABOUT LIVING THINGS

Learning Objectives	Suggested Learning Activities	Learning Outcomes	Vocabulary
Pupils should learn to make observations and use these to group things into living and non-living things.	Pupils walk around the school compound and list out the things that they see. Pupils group them into living things and non-living things. Pupils give reasons why they say something is a living things e.g. it needs food and water, it breathes, it moves, it grows and it can produce young. Pupils look at the grouping that they did earlier. Pupils redo their grouping based on the characteristics of living things. Pupils watch video of animals eating, moving, growing and producing young. Pupils discuss that plants: a) need food and      water, b) grow, c) can grow new plants.	Pupils -  make a list of the    things they see. -  group what they see    into living things and    non-living things. -  record the groups in    the form of a table. -  state the    characteristic of    living things, i.e.: a) it needs food and     water b) it breathes c) it can moves d) it grows e) it can produces      young -  recognise humans,    animals and plants    as living things.	living things non-living things grows food water breathe move produce
