K1 – Living vs Non-living

How do live lessons work?

Live lessons are interactive slides and course outlines that are used to teach Treeway Live Classes. Click on the arrows to navigate backward and forwards through the slides.

How Do I Use the Lesson Plans?

Read this lesson plan before class to familiarize yourself with the ideas and concepts you’ll be teaching the students. You may print this page out if you need to use it as a reference point during live classes.

This lesson is a guide, but feel free to expand on the content or decrease/increase what you teach depending on the learning levels of the students in your class or the amount of time you have to cover the material.

Can I show videos in live classes?

Yes, feel free to include additional material to supplement the class lesson material. Videos, Physical Objects, Games, Activities, etc. are okay to share in live classes.

Videos should have no advertisements or logos and should be viewed by you before showing them to the students to ensure no offensive or questionable content is included.

The video should make up only a small portion of the live class.

How do bookmarks work?

Bookmarks help you keep track of lessons you’re going to teach in future live classes. The bookmarks you see are for all your bookmarked lessons across all grades.

You can bookmark a lesson by visiting the lesson you want to bookmark and clicking the “bookmark” button in the bookmark section.

You can remove a single bookmark by visiting a lesson you’ve bookmarked and clicking the “bookmark” button again to unbookmark it.

You can clear all of your bookmarks by clicking the “clear all bookmarks” button. Be careful, this will erase all of your bookmarks.

Class Summary

Reinforcing the science lesson that teaches about living and non-living things. Students should leave the class feeling comfortable with the concept of what a living thing is, what a non-living thing is, what living things need to stay alive,  and understand the differences between a living and non-living thing.

  • Non-living things do not eat, they do not breathe, they do not move on their own and they do not grow.

Discussion Questions

  • Who created everything on the earth?
  • What is a living thing?
  •  What are some things that a living thing might need to live?
  •  Are you a living thing?
  • What is a non-living thing?

In-Class Activities

    • Play the “Is It Alive?” game: Name a few things like animals, plants, and objects. Ask the students if it is alive. (Example: Hold up a book. Is it alive? Can it grow? Can it move on its own?)
