Living and Non - Living Things - Class 3 Science - New St. Mery English School

Everything around us can be divided into two main groups – living things and non-living things. Living things, such as plants, animals, and humans, have life. They grow, breathe, move, eat food, and reproduce. On the other hand, non-living things like rocks, water, air, and toys do not have life. They do not grow, breathe, or need food.

Understanding the difference between living and non-living things helps children learn more about the world around them. It also helps them observe nature carefully and develop curiosity about how things work. In this lesson, we will explore the characteristics of living things and identify examples of both living and non-living things in our daily life in a simple and fun way.
