Hi, young learners! Welcome back to Basic Science and Technology. In our previous lesson, we learned about Air. Today, we’re going to learn about Non-living Things.
Objectives
By the end of this lesson, you should be able to:
- Identify some non-living things in the school environment.
- Identify non-living things at home.
Non-living Things
What are Non-living Things?
Non-living things are objects that do not have life. They do not grow, breathe, or move on their own. We can find non-living things all around us, both in the school environment and at home.
Examples of Non-living Things in the School Environment
Some of the non-living things we find in the school environment include:
- Desks
- Chairs
- Blackboards
- Books
- Pencils
- Rulers
- Computers
- Whiteboards
- Doors
- Windows
- Walls
- Floors
- Light bulbs
- Clocks
Examples of Non-living Things at Home
There are many non-living things at home, such as:
- Televisions
- Tables
- Fans
- Beds
- Couches
- Lamps
- Toys
- Clothes
- Dishes
- Utensils
- Appliances (like refrigerators, ovens, washing machines)
- Furniture (like chairs, tables, beds, cabinets)
Evaluation Questions
Now that you’ve learned about non-living things, let’s see if you can answer these questions:
- What are some characteristics of non-living things?
- Can you name three non-living things you see in the classroom?
- What are some non-living things you use at home?
- How are living things different from non-living things?
- Can you think of any non-living things that are made by humans?
Conclusion
We learned that non-living things are objects that do not have life. They are all around us, both in the school and at home. Remember, non-living things do not grow, breathe, or move on their own. Keep exploring and learning about the world around you! See you in the next lesson!
