Key words
1.4 Things that have never been alive
• non-living • alive • living
Some non-living things were once alive. These things come from plants and animals. Wood comes from trees. We use wood for many things. Trees are living but wood is non-living. When wood is cut from a tree it stops growing, so it is no longer alive. Some things have never been alive, such as water, stone, metal and plastic.
