Living Things and Non-Living Things
We see many things in the world around us. They can be divided into two groups:
living things and non-living.
Living Things Human beings, plants, animals and birds are living things.
Non-Living Things Tables, chairs, toys, hills and vehicles are non-living things.
Living things Living things are different from non-living things in many ways.
All living things grow.
An infant grows into an adult (man or woman); a seed grows into a big tree.
All living things need food to eat and water to drink.
All living things breathe.
All living things feel.
All living things reproduce (Have babies of their own)
All living things move.
Living things move from one place to another. Human beings and animals move.
Though plants do not move, they are living things as they grow, breathe and
reproduce.
Non-living things Non-living things cannot grow, breathe, feel, reproduce or move on their own.
They do not need food and water. They can be divided into two groups: Natural
and man-made.
Natural non-living things: They are found in nature and are not made by man.
Examples: Sun, moon, stars, sky, clouds, rocks, mountains and many more.
Man-made non-living things: They are made by man.
Examples: Toys, chairs, tables, beds, houses, buildings, trains and many more.
Do you know? A car moves on the road, but it cannot move on its own. It needs a driver to start
the engine and move it. So a car is a non-living thing.
Plants do not move but they are living things as they breathe, reproduce, feel and
need food and water to grow.

Teacher’s Notes:
Ask the children the difference between a doll and a child; a bird and an
aeroplane.
Make flash cards of living and non-living things and show each card to the
students. Ask them whether it is a living or non-living thing. Give reasons.
Note for Mr. Aashish Aggarwal:
Interesting facts and Did you know have to be placed in a bubble anywhere in
between the lesson.````````````````````````````````
