Living (vivant) and Non Living (non vivant)

This week, we have been exploring a new science concept!  We have discussed things in our environment that are "vivant" (living) and "non vivant" (not living).  Our students brainstormed a list of characteristics that they thought described living and non living things.  As a class, we discussed 4 main characteristics that something has to have in order to be "vivant" (living).  

A living thing must:

1- bouge (move)

2- mange (eat)

3- respire (breathe)

4- grandit (grow)

We used a graph mat to sort pictures of living and non living things.

 

We sorted pictures of living and non living things using sorting rings.

 

 

Ask your child to pick one of the items and explain why is it

"vivant" or "non vivant".

 

 

We used the pictures we sorted to create a poster of living and non living things.

 

 

We used a check list to decided if something was living or non living.
