MisconceptionsMisconceptions• Cartoons and book characters
are living things.• Computers are living things.• Use movement as the only
characteristic to explain living things.• Confuse concept of real or active as
alive.

MisconceptionsMisconceptions• Confusion with dead and nonliving.• Children have different views
of animal life and plant life.• Items that were once parts of
living things are living things.
• Items made from living things are thought to be alive.
