Living Things and Nonliving Things

Kevin Kurtz

Kevin Kurtz uses a broad range of photographs and questions to compare living things with nonliving things. The prompts ask readers to decide whether particular things are alive. A visual approach joins the examples to the questions, while the comparison presents a straightforward, accurate distinction between the two categories. The questions also encourage critical thinking about how living and nonliving things differ.
