| Mission Activity Imagine that you are
going to have show and tell at school. Your teacher asks you to bring
three living things and three non-living things to show the class. What
would you bring? I will give you a sheet of paper with two sections
(living/non-living) for you to write down the name of each living and
non-living thing you would bring to show and tell. You will draw a
picture of each thing you would bring. To help you get some ideas, look
at this website.
