Alive or Not Alive
Some things grow, eat, and need water to stay alive. Other things stay just the same and never grow at all.

Every lesson is open to everyone for 7 days after it is published. This one came out on September 4, 2026: its text stays readable here, and its picture opens with a subscription.
The app is free. A subscription opens every lesson, in every school year.
In the picture
- The plant, the cat and the fish are alive. They grow, and they need food and water.
- The stone, the ball and the toy rabbit are not alive. They never grow and never eat.
- The toy rabbit looks like an animal, but it cannot move or grow by itself.
Examples
- You are alive too: you grow, you eat and you breathe.
- Your shoes are not alive. They stay the same size for ever.
Key takeaways
- Living things grow, eat and need water.
- Looking like an animal does not make something alive.
