This World of Things
The chapter 'This World of Things' in the Class 3 EVS PSEB curriculum introduces young students to the vast variety of objects present in their surroundings. Children learn to observe, touch, and classify different things around them into natural things like plants, animals, water, and stones, and man-made things like chairs, books, toys, and clothes. This chapter matters for board exams because it builds the foundational observational skills and basic scientific classification abilities of students, helping them understand the difference between nature-made and human-made objects, which frequently appears in primary school assessments.
