Concept Anchor

Living things move, feed, grow and breathe. Things that are dead were once alive. Things that never lived were never alive. A habitat is the place that meets a living thing's needs.

Worked example

Is a wooden table living, dead or never alive?

  1. 1.Wood comes from a tree.
  2. 2.A tree was once alive.
  3. 3.The table cannot grow or feed now.
  4. 4.So the wood is dead (once alive).
