Discussion
Our lesson for today is all about the
characteristics of living and nonliving things.

Living things- any organism or a life form that

possesses or shows the characteristics of life or
being alive.
Examples: animals, plants, bacteria, humans and
etc.

8 characteristics of living things are;

 Cellular structure- the first and the most
important characteristics in every living
thing is that living things are made up of
cells. Cells enable living things to
perform all of life’s functions and
activities.
 Nutrition or Food- all living things take
their needs from their environment to get
energy in order to grow and stay healthy.
 Movement- living things exhibit some
form of movement. Humans and animals
can move around.
 Respiration- it is the process in which air
is drawn into the body and gas wastes are
eliminated.
 Excretion- all living things produce
substances that may be harmful if
 allowed to stay in the body.
 Growth- it is the process wherein living
things increase in size.
 Sensitivity- living things react to changes
around them. They may react when
touched or when exposed to light, heat,
cold or sound.
 Reproduction- it is the process by which
living things produce new organisms of
their own kind.

Nonliving things- are things that do not have the

ability to carry out the life functions. They do
not have life.
Examples; metal, air, water, and soil.

5 characteristics of non-living things are;

 The most important characteristics of

nonliving things is the absence of
cellular functions.
 Nonliving things cannot move by
themselves. They do not have methods
of movement. They remain immobile or
motionless.
 Since no activities can be possibly done
by nonliving things, they do not need a
supply of energy from their environment
to sustain themselves.
 Nonliving things cannot grow so they do
not need food, water, air and shelter to
stay alive.
 Nonliving things cannot multiply. They
cannot reproduce, and they do not live or
die.

What do you know about the living things and

When we say living things it
nonliving things?
has a life while nonliving
things has no life.

Very Good! Another, what are the
