Animals are living things that eat food and grow bigger. Living things can
produce babies.
Science activity
Look carefully at this picture of a farm. Color in all the things that are alive.
Find things that are not alive. Draw a circle around each one.
Cut out pictures or draw pictures of
things that are not alive, but were
made from living things. Do the
activity on website 39-1.

You are what you eat, so eat healthy!
Observations
The food that you eat is good for you in different ways. Meat, milk, eggs, and
fish all help you to grow. Bread, rice, potatoes, and fruits give you energy to
run and play. Vegetables and fruits also help you to stay healthy.

Science activity
Look at this meal, and draw a line joining each type of food to one of the
circles below.
The child will learn that certain characteristics make
people look different from one another. Discourage
the child from thinking one trait is better than another
trait. The ability to roll the tongue is an inherited trait.
Have the child try this while looking in the mirror.

Take a good look
Observations
No two living things look exactly alike. Even identical twins have
differences. Humans are different from one another in many ways. We can
have different colored hair, eyes, and skin. Our noses and ears can have
different shapes. Our mouths and eyebrows may be shaped differently, too.
Science activity
Take a good look at these two girls. Find six ways in which they are not
alike. Color in these differences.
