Directions:
1. Use the Living and Nonliving graph templates. Place an "L" or "N" next to each animal name.

2. Count the number of L's and N's and type in the number next to each word Living or Nonliving. The graph will appear automatically.

3. Discuss properties of the living objects and type in a sentence or phrase that tells how the living things are alike.

4. Click the tab at the bottom of the worksheet that is named "Your Turn". This blank template can be used to type and enter names of living and nonliving things.
