Living and Non-Living Things
Everything around us can be divided into living things (like plants and animals) that grow and breathe, and non-living things (like tables and stones) that do not.
Natural and Man-Made Things
Natural things are given to us by nature (like water, sun, and trees), while man-made things are created by people using different materials (like plastic toys, chairs, and pencils).
Grouping by Materials
Things are made of different materials such as wood, glass, plastic, metal, and cloth. We can sort objects based on what material they are made from.
Properties of Objects
Objects have different properties like being hard or soft, heavy or light, rough or smooth, and hot or cold, which help us identify and use them properly.
Uses of Everyday Things
Every object around us has a specific purpose. For example, books are used for reading, and utensils are used for cooking and eating.
