Rocks

During our inquiry about rocks, Giuliana asked the question ``Why don't rocks walk or have eyes?``   To help answer that question, we had the children sort Living and Non-Living pictures of objects.  

Then the children were asked to make some observations about the differences between Living and Non Living matter.
 Here are their observations:

Living	Non Living
-         It grows. -         It breathes. -         It eats food and drinks water. -         It has body parts. -         It moves.	-         It doesn`t have life. -         It does not move. -         It does not grow. -         It does not eat or drink. -         It does not have body parts.

Ella concluded that rocks don`t walk or have eyes because they are non living.
