There are many things around us. We see television, chair, book, table, dog, cat, trees, plants, cars, buses, birds and many more things around us.

These things are of two kinds:

1.    Living things and 2. Non-living things.

LIVING THINGS:

The things that have life are called living things. Plants, birds, animals and human beings are living things.

NON –LIVING THINGS:

The things which do not have life are called non-living things. All man-made things are non-living things.

                            

There are number of features that separate living things from non-living things:

·       Living things breathe.

·       Living things need food and water.

·       Living things feel.

·       Living things move on their own.

 

·       Living things grow, become old and die.

 

·       Living things reproduce.

Animals give birth or lay eggs. Plants grow from seeds and other parts.

Non-living things cannot breathe, eat food, feel, move, grow, become old, die and reproduce.

Natural things:

You found many things in the nature which are not made by man. These things are called natural things.

All living things are natural things.

Non-living things like the sun, the moon, the stars, mountains, and clouds also exist naturally.
