What is biological?

Biological means it has to do with living things, like you, me, plants, and animals.

What Does It Mean?

Imagine your favorite toy, maybe a robot or a teddy bear. That's not biological because it doesn't grow, breathe, or eat. But if that toy was alive, like a puppy who runs after you, then that’s biological!

How Living Things Work

Living things do special things: they grow, move, and change. A seed is small, but it can become a big tree, that's growth. A cat jumps from one couch to another, that's movement. And when you eat an apple, your body changes to use its energy, that’s change.

So, anything that grows, moves, and changes is biological, just like you!Biological means it has to do with living things, like you, me, plants, and animals.
