up of living and non-living things. Living things includes people, Teacher!
plants and animals while the non-living things are water forms,
soil, rocks and landforms.

Let’s read this story about THE SURROUNDINGS OF JACK.

Jack is a boy that always stays at home and never goes out
of the house by his own. Even from school, he goes straight to
the house. His father bought him a new remote control toy car
and as he was playing with it, it went outside because the door
was left open. He decided to go out and find the toy car. He was
looking for the toy car and it went far from his home. As he
went back home, for the first time he saw tall trees, felt fresh
air, animals around such as dogs and cats. He also saw high
mountains and a river. When he arrived home, he told his
parents his experience. From that, after school, he plays outside
with his neighbors and cousins.
How was the story about Jack?

You will know the relationship between “Jack” and “the

surrounding” by observing the Chart.

Yes, Teacher!

• The Chart tells us that the surrounding is important for the people
and other living things that live in it.
• Many things make up our surroundings. Our surroundings are (The answer depends
made up of living things and non-living things. These living things in their own opinions)
include people, plants and animals while nonliving things include
bodies of water, soil, rocks and landforms.
• The environment includes plants, animals, people, the air, sun,
weather and the Earth itself.
• Plants are the primary habitat for thousands of other organisms.
• They provide shade, help moderate the temperature, and protect
animals from wind.
• Because of their usefulness, plants are important elements of our
human world.
• Every little thing is important whether it is living or non-living
things, we need to take good care of them.

Do all of you understand, class?

Alright. Get your science notebook and complete the Magic Square
Chart.

Directions: Observe your surrounding and complete the chart.

(Pupils are listening)

(After checking…)

REMEMBER:

 Living things are alive. They need food, water and air.
They can reproduce, grow, change on their own and
respond to changes in the environment.
 Non-living things are those things that can’t move on
their own. They don’t grow. They don’t need food and
water. They don’t reproduce and they don’t breathe.

Let us move forward.

Surroundings also includes the landforms and water forms just like
the 4 pictures 1 word such as ocean, falls, mountains and river.
