Living and Non-living Things

Living and Non-living Things

The world around us is called the environment. It's everything we can see.

The environment has two parts: living things and non-living things.

Living Things

Things that are alive are called living things. They can move and grow.

Examples:

1. Human Beings: That's us! We're living beings who can think, feel, and do many amazing things.
2. Animals: These are the furry, feathery, or scaly creatures around us.
3. Plants: From the tallest trees to the tiniest flowers, plants are living too. They grow and make our world colourful.

Non-Living Things

Things that are not alive are called non-living things. They don't grow or move by themselves.

Non Living things are of two types:

Natural Non-Living Things: These are the parts of nature that have never been alive. For example the sun, moon and mountains.

Man-Made Non-Living Things: These are non-living things created by humans. For example toys, cars, and pencils.
