Group 1 Bag: Is it alive? Was it alive? Is it non-living?
We were asked to fill a bag full of different items: a cotton ball, a rubber band, popcorn kernels, a toothpick, weeds, air, pinto beans, etc. Then we had to identify if these things were: alive, were alive now dead, never alive, or product of a living thing.

After gathering items and identifying, we took paper towel and dampened it, wrapped the our items in it, sealed it in the bag, and set it by the window! We'll see what happens....
