Kavi's Garden Detective Hunt
Kavi flutters into the garden with a magnifying glass 🔍. A butterfly flaps past — it moves and grows, so it's living! A rock just sits there — it never eats, grows, or breathes, so it's not living. "Every living thing," whispers Kavi, "grows, needs food and water, and moves or reacts. Let's hunt for the signs of life!"
