Table 10.1: Living beings and non-living things in our surroundings (Page 184)
| (I) | (II) My guess (Living/Non-living) | (III) Reason/Remarks | (IV) Correct answer | (V) Reason/Remarks for the correct answer |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pencil | Non-living | Does not move or grow | Non-living | No growth, respiration, or reproduction |
| Book | Non-living | Stationary, no life signs | Non-living | Lacks movement, growth, or response to stimuli |
| Pigeon | Living | Moves, flies, and eats | Living | Shows growth, respiration, and reproduction |
| Car | Non-living | Moves but doesn’t grow | Non-living | Lacks growth, respiration, or reproduction |
| Plant | Living | Grows and needs water | Living | Exhibits growth, respiration, and reproduction |
Note: Based on comparing objects to living characteristics (page 185).
Table 10.2: Effect of certain conditions on seed germination (Page 188)
| Pot with bean seeds | Availability of Air | Sunlight | Water | Seed germination Prediction | Observation | Possible reason for the observation |
