animals, plants, land, skies and many
others.

Alright! Very true. How did the

video classify those things class? Ma’am, those are the things that have
life and have not life.

Very good! What do you call

those things?
Living things and non-living things.

Very good! A thunderous

applause please.
(The pupils give their thunderous
By the way class, what are the applause)
characteristics of living things?

Very good! What else class? Living things breathe ma’am.

Again class, what do you call to
the thing that has life?

Alright! We people can make our Living things can reproduce their own
own kind that is why numbers of kind.
people in world multiply and
multiply. Plant can make their
own food. Do you agree class?

eat in order for them to grow and
of course in order for them to
survive. What else?

Very good! Who can add more?

Water and sunlight too ma’am.

Yes, of course class, we people Ma’am, living things can move and
keep on moving and moving. have senses.
Living things have senses too
because if plants will not be
watered, the leaves will turn into
yellow. And we people get hurt,
mad and everything. We can feel
of what is going on. Am I right
class?

As an addition of your ideas class,

living things have a life span,
meaning their lives have an end.
People will die. Animals will die.
Insects will die and plants will
die. Am I right? Yes ma’am.

That’s good! What about the

characteristics of non-living
things? Yes ma’am.

Correct class! Kindly enumerate

them. The characteristics of non-living
things ma’am are opposite to the
characteristics of living things ma’am.

They do not possess life.

Non-living things do not reproduce.

They are self-dependent.

Non-living things are not sensitive or

do not have senses.

Non-living things do not grow or

develop.
 They have no lifespan.

Non-living things cannot move by

themselves.

Very good dear pupils! Do you

have any question class? No ma’am.

Clarifications?
No ma’am.

At this point of time, group

yourselves into three (3). Count
off. Start here 1, 2, 3 …
(The pupils group themselves.)

Alright! I have here 30 pictures of

things and each group will receive
10 pictures. All you need to do
with these pictures is to separate
living things from the non-living
things. By the time, all groups are
already done each group will
share and present the answers in
the front of the class.
(The pupils do the activity..)
(After 20 minutes)

Are you done class? (The pupils answer.)

Alright kids, share your answers

in the front of the class. let’s start
from the Group 1. Then, group 2
and 3 will follow. ( The pupils share their answer.)

Very good class! Each group did

great! Congratulations! Let’s clap
our hands to ourselves. (The pupils clap their hands.)

And now, who can give me a

thing that is very useful?
Trees ma’am.

Very good class! What makes the

trees useful? It gives us shade ma’am.

Very good! What else?

It gives us cool and fresh air to breath
 ma’am.
Very good! What other living
things class that is useful for you?

The birds Ma’am that keep singing in

our farm while my father is
ploughing.
Very good! That’s a very good
idea. Living things are very
important to our life that is why it
needs care. Do you agree class?
Yes ma’am.

How about the importance of

non-living things? Do they need (The pupils answer.)
care?

In what way class? (The pupil answer.)

Alright! The things that we have

in our home that has no life needs
care too in order to last long and
many other non-living things that
made us happier and help our
lives live easier.

C. Generalization
Living things refer to the things
that have life and non-living
things refer to the things without
life. It is both important to our
lives that are why it needs care.
