                     VARIOUS THINGS AROUND US                       are  made  of  different  materials.  S ll  some

              Objects  around  us  are  all  kinds  of  objects     of them are similar to some other things.
              and  thus  iden fying  them  is  important.
              Doors, fans, ball, book, pen, pencil, table are

              few objects which are around us. All these
              differ from one another by some proper es.
              Every object we use is made to fulfil some
              purposes  for  us.  Usage  of  these  objects

              depends on their proper es and purposes.
                                                                                  Objects found at home
              For example, a ball is an object to fulfil the
                                                                    Now, take a similar list of the things in your
              need  of  a  child  playing,  an  AC  to  provide     classroom. These things will include a black-
              coolness. Hence, we can iden fy the objects           board,  a  chalk-box,  duster,  fans,  a  chair,  a

              Look around yourself at home. Make a list
              of  the  things  that  you  can  see.  They  are
