This World of Things
The chapter 'This World of Things' from the Class 3 EVS syllabus (The World Around Us) introduces young learners to the diverse objects that make up their immediate environment. Students learn to observe, touch, and classify various things around them into living and non-living, natural and man-made categories. For WBBSE board exams, this chapter is fundamental because it builds the basic observational and sorting skills required for environmental science. Questions from this chapter frequently test a student's ability to identify and differentiate common objects found at home and school.

Water is a natural thing because it is provided by nature in rivers, rain, and oceans, and cannot be manufactured by humans.
Why is a wooden chair called a man-made thing if wood comes from trees?
