The Class 3 EVS (Environmental Studies), students learn about the fundamental concept of living and non-living things. This topic helps them understand the differences between objects that have life and those that do not.

Living Things:

- Characteristics:

    - Grow and develop

    - Need food, water, and air

    - Can move or respond to stimuli

    - Can reproduce

    - Have senses (e.g., sight, sound, touch)

- Examples:

    - Plants (e.g., trees, flowers)

    - Animals (e.g., humans, birds, fish)

    - Microorganisms (e.g., bacteria, yeast)

Non-Living Things:

- Characteristics:

    - Do not grow or develop

    - Do not need food, water, or air

    - Cannot move or respond to stimuli

    - Cannot reproduce

    - Do not have senses

- Examples:

    - Rocks and minerals

    - Water and air

    - Buildings and bridges

    - Toys and tools

Interesting Activities:

1. Sorting game: Students sort pictures or objects into living and non-living categories.

2. Observation: Students observe and record the characteristics of living things in their surroundings. 

3. Group discussion: Students discuss and share examples of living and non-living things.
