Living things
A living thing grows, eats, breathes, and needs water. Animals are alive. Plants are alive too — they grow toward the sun and drink water through their roots.
Non-living things
A non-living thing does not grow or need food. A rock is not alive — it does not eat. A toy car is not alive — it only moves when you push it.
How to tell?
Ask: Does it grow? Does it need food or water? Can it breathe? If the answer is YES, it is probably alive. If NO, it is non-living.
