Hello, everyone! Welcome to our Basic Science class for Primary 1. In the previous lesson, we learned about the uses of colours. Today, we will be learning about living things.
Lesson Objectives
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
- State the meaning of living things.
- Mention and identify living things in the school.
- Mention and identify living things at home.
Living Things
Living things are all around us. They are things that are alive and have certain characteristics that make them different from non-living things.
What are Living Things?
Living things are things that are alive. That means they can grow, move, breathe, and need food and water to survive. Some examples of living things include plants, animals, and humans.
Living Things in the School
The school is a great place to find examples of living things. Some of the living things you might see in the school include:
- Trees
- Grass
- Birds
- Insects
- Classmates
- Teachers
- Spiders
Living Things at Home
Your home is also filled with living things. Some examples of living things you might find at home include:
- Pets (like dogs, cats, or birds)
- Plants in your garden or pots
- Family members
- Insects (like ants, flies, butterflies, moths)
- Pests (like lizards, rats, mosquitoes, wasps)
Quiz & Evaluation
Now that you’ve learned about living things, let’s see if you can answer these questions:
- What is a living thing?
- What are some examples of living things you might see in the school?
- What are some examples of living things you might see at home?
- What do living things need to survive?
- Can you name a living thing that grows and changes?
- Can you name a living thing that can move on its own?
- Can you name a living thing that needs food to grow? 8. Can you name a living thing that can grow and reproduce?
