Living and Non - Living Things Class KG

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Living things move in different ways. Animals walk, run, or fly, and plants move slowly towards light or water.

4. How do plants show they are living things if they do not move like animals?

Plants are living things because they grow, need sunlight and water, and can make new plants through seeds.

A toy is considered a non-living thing because it cannot grow, eat, move, or breathe on its own.
