Living and Non-Living Things (Free Worksheets)

Learning about living and non-living things is an important part of biology because it helps young kids understand the basic building blocks of life and the environment around them. These free printable science worksheets and activities are a great way to teach kindergarten and elementary students how to classify things as living and non-living.

synonym for assignments

Living vs. Non-Living

Living things are things that are alive. They can grow, move, breath, and need food, water, and air to survive. They can move independently, reproduce, and respond to their environment. Examples include animals , plants , and people.

On the other hand, non-living things are things that are not alive. They do not grow, need food, or move independently. They don’t have life processes like breathing or reproducing. Examples of non-living things are rocks , toys, and water. Understanding the difference helps us see how living things interact with non-living things in the world around us.

Dodgers designate veteran outfielder for assignment.

  • August 22, 2024

Katherine Wacker

synonym for assignments

As first reported by Robert Murray of FanSided, the Los Angeles Dodgers have designated outfielder Jason Heyward for assignment. The Dodgers have activated utility man Chris Taylor from the injured list in a corresponding move. Heyward has seen limited playing time lately with the addition of Tommy Edman and Kevin Kiermaier who were acquired at the trade deadline . The clubhouse favorite has dealt with his share of injuries this year as well. He had a .208 batting average with six home runs in just 63 games with Los Angeles this year.

Dodgers Designate Jason Heyward for Assignment

Roster crunch.

There has been a lot of speculation as to who takes the remaining roster spots as players return from injury. Kiermaier is a Gold Glove center fielder. Defense comes at a premium, especially in October. Taylor, Edman, and Kiké Hernández can each play multiple positions on the diamond, giving the Dodgers increased flexibility during the postseason. In addition, Taylor and Hernández, who can be streaky with the bat, have proven to be clutch in past Octobers. Unfortunately, this leaves Heyward, a corner outfielder, the odd man out.

A Moment to Remember

If this is the last of Heyward in a Dodger uniform, he certainly went out with a bang Tuesday night against the Seattle Mariners. In the bottom of the eighth inning with two on and two out, the veteran was called on to pitch hit. On a 2-1 pitch, Heyward sent a line drive over the right field fence to break a tie and put the Dodgers ahead for good. This led many to think that Heyward had saved his postseason roster spot. It was not to be. For all its beauty, baseball can also be brutal.

The Dodgers have officially designated Jason Heyward for assignment and activated Chris Taylor off the injured list. Heyward’s pinch-hit, go-ahead, three-run home run on Tuesday could very well be his final moment in a Dodger uniform. pic.twitter.com/swhqmHVEMm — Noah Camras (@noahcamras) August 22, 2024

Heralded History

Heyward came up to the Atlanta Braves in 2010 and promptly homered in his first big-league at-bat. He also helped the Chicago Cubs win a World Series in 2016.

MLB Trade Rumors

Twins Designate Trevor Richards For Assignment

By Steve Adams and Darragh McDonald | August 27, 2024 at 3:50pm CDT

The Twins announced their waiver claim of right-hander Michael Tonkin , which was previously reported . To open a 40-man spot, righty Trevor Richards has been designated for assignment. To take the active spot of Richards, the club has selected the contract of righty Caleb Boushley . To open a 40-man spot for Boushley, righty Joe Ryan has been transferred to the 60-day injured list.

Richards was the Twins’ lone deadline pickup a month ago, coming over from Toronto in exchange for minor league infielder Jay Harry . The right-hander had scoreless outings in seven of his ten appearances with Minnesota but also had three shakier outings, leading to a 4.15 ERA in 13 innings overall.

That may not seem particularly poor at first glance, but Richards walked a massive 18.6% of his opponents during his time with the Twins and even more incredibly uncorked seven wild pitches during those 13 frames. He also hit two batters. Overall, the lack of command he showed proved too alarming for the team to continue on with the right-hander.

Richards has had some big league success in the past, both as a starter (261 2/3 innings of 4.22 ERA ball in 2018-19) and a reliever (3.50 ERA, 31.1 K% in 64 1/3 innings in 2021). However, even though he’s shown a consistent ability to miss bats and regularly flummoxed lefties with a plus changeup, he’s struggled with command and been far too hittable against fellow righties.

Richards came to the Twins as a rental who’d been struggling with his former team, so the cost of acquisition to acquire him was quite low. Still, the Twins surely hoped for better results, particularly given their lack of other deadline additions. Instead, he’ll give way to Tonkin, who’s back for a second 2024 stint with the team that originally drafted him in the 30th round back in 2008. Richards will now hit waivers and presumably clear, as a team would need to be willing to pay the remaining $358K on his $2.15MM salary in order to place a claim.

As for the 30-year-old Boushley, this’ll be his second stint with the Twins this year as well. He pitched two innings and allowed two runs a few months back, but has spent the rest of the season in Triple-A, where he has a 4.97 ERA in 116 innings. That earned run average is skewed in part by a calamitous nine-run shellacking at the hands of the Braves’ Triple-A affiliate back on July 3, but Boushley has been struggling in general as of late. Even setting aside that nine-run bonanza, he’s been tagged for a 6.55 ERA in his past seven starts with the Saints.

Darn looks like Ryan is definitely done for the year

It’s sad because he has ace stuff but just always falls off during the 2nd half of the season

Failed trade #3 for pitching depth this year

jays will claim Richards. he was one of their better bullpen pieces.

I’m just glad the Twins made multiple moves to bolster their pitching staff for a playoff run………

' src=

What MLB needs is some sort of incentive program to encourage teams to go for it. Like, extra revenue for playing more games beyond the regular season, bonuses for players that win multiple rounds, maybe even like a trophy for winning the most playoff games!

I like your trophy idea. I also wonder if playoff success might excite the fan base to the point where season ticket and merch sales would increase year-over-year.

I feel like it’s as simple as a Salary Floor. There’s a reason why, in the other 3 main pro leagues, there’s consistent parity & offseason transactions of note regardless of “market”. To me the MLBPA’s insistence on not having a cap is slowly killing the game year by year. The average player salary has increased in the other sports at a higher rate than baseball…and they (gasp!) Have salary caps tied to the revenue. There is NO WAY that teams like Oakland, Cinci, Pitt and yes my Detroit Tigers are spending “51% of Revenue” on player salaries like the other leagues.

The problem with the floor is, you’ll never get it without a salary cap as well. All 30 teams are against one without the other. If the Pirates are bidding on mid level guys,and the big market teams want then, the result is the big market team just pays more. That leaves small market clubs overpaying guys no one else really wants just to hit the floor. Baby Giraffe would be getting 10 million from Pittsburgh, Tim Anderson would’ve gotten 8 million instead of 2. Nothing changes that much with just a floor from a fan perspective, and no owner wants the change it would create

Perhaps some sort of tax applied to teams that are consistently bottom dwellers. In other terms, if a team’s overall average is less than .500 for a rolling 5 years in a row, they are hit with a fine. There has to be some incentive to develop and field a competitive team. A team can be competitive constructed of young guns not making a bunch of money. This shouldn’t be discouraged.

How about a reduction of the luxury tax, relative to the number of extra games played. Conversely, if a team is headed for paying the luxury tax and doesn’t make the post season…the tax increases….

Browns DT Mike Hall Jr. expected to be placed on NFL Commissioner’s Exempt List after domestic violence charge

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Browns rookie defensive tackle Mike Hall Jr., charged with domestic violence on Aug. 13 , is expected to be placed on the Commissioner’s Exempt List by Tuesday under the personal conduct policy.

The NFL launched its own investigation into Hall’s case, and can place him on the list while it gathers more information and allows the legal process to play out. A league spokesman declined to say if he’s been placed on it yet, but it’s expected to happen by the Tuesday 4 p.m. deadline to cut rosters to 53 players.

A player on the list does not count against the roster, and can’t participate in any team football activities.

  • Kevin Stefanski on Tyler Huntley, Denzel Ward, and more: Transcript

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, who has jurisdiction over the list, can authorize it when a player is formally charged with:

1. a felony offense; or,

2. “a crime of violence, meaning that he is accused of having used physical force or a weapon to injure or threaten a person or animal, of having engaged in a sexual assault by force or against a person who was incapable of giving consent, or having engaged in other conduct that poses a genuine danger to the safety or well-being of another person. The formal charges may be in the form of an indictment by a grand jury, the filing of charges by a prosecutor, or an arraignment in a criminal court.”

A player can appeal his placement on the list.

Hall, 21, has been participating in all football activities since being charged with misdemeanor domestic violence in Avon. He’s attended all practices since then, and has played in the final two preseason games, against the Vikings and Seahawks.

If he’s placed on the list, he won’t count against the 53-man roster on Tuesday, and the Browns will continue to gather their own information and let the legal process play out. The league will then determine whether or not to suspend Hall, whose next court date is Sept. 10, two days after the opener against the Cowboys.

The NFL, which takes domestic violence very seriously, does not need a conviction to suspend a player under the policy. Former Browns running back Kareem Hunt, for instance, was suspended eight games for two separate altercations, including one involving a woman, despite no criminal charges. The league had video evidence of the incident with the woman, however.

Hall is accused of putting a gun to his fiancée’s head and threatening to kill her during an argument at the couple’s home on Monday night, Avon police said.

At his arraignment in Avon Municipal Court, Hall pleaded not guilty to one count of domestic violence. He was released from jail on a $10,000 personal bond after turning himself in earlier in the morning.

The incident occurred at a home that Hall shares with his fiancee and the mother of their 11-month son, Trey. His fiancee also has a daughter from a previous relationship.

“We just sit there and we pray for him,” receiver Elijah Moore said in the wake of the incident. “Life happens outside of football. We can just focus on what’s going on in the building and pray for him for whatever’s going on outside.”

Browns safety Rodney McLeod echoed that sentiment.

“We’re a team,” he said. “We’re a family. And we’re understanding that certain things are going to arise and take place and so you have to treat it as such. We’re all human beings and so for us we’re just trying to learn more about what took place and we will handle things accordingly.”

Quarterback Deshaun Watson said then that it wouldn’t be a distraction to the team.

“We’re all locked in practicing and that situation is going to get handled with the front office and we just got to keep focusing on what the main thing is,” he said
