This World of Things: the Chapter Story
A short read for Class 3 before you play. These notes are written for this page and are not copied from the textbook.
🏫 Khushi’s classroom
Khushi reaches school early and draws her bright classroom. She wonders where the things come from, who made them and what they are made of.
🧱 What is it made of?
Tables and chairs are made of wood from trees. Hinges, nails and latches are made of metals taken from ore. Windowpanes and bulbs are glass, and switches are plastic.
🔍 See-through materials
We see clearly through transparent glass, partly through translucent things and not at all through opaque wood. We never look at the sun through any object.
🎵 Touch and sound
Materials feel and sound different when we tap them. Wood is hard and rigid, and fabric is soft and flexible.
💧 Solid, liquid or gas
Solids keep their shape, liquids flow and gases float and spread. We cannot build walls from water.
🌳 Natural and artificial
Natural things exist in nature, whether alive or not. Artificial things are made by people.

What is This World of Things in Class 3 EVS?
This World of Things is Chapter 10 of the NCERT Class 3 book Our Wondrous World, and it opens Unit 4, Things Around Us. Children look closely at things in a classroom, find what they are made of and where the materials come from, and learn about natural and artificial things.

Things around us are made of wood, metal, glass, plastic, cloth, clay, rubber and many other materials. Tables are made of wood, hinges of metal, windowpanes of glass and switches of plastic.
What are transparent, translucent and opaque materials?
Transparent materials let us see clearly through them, like glass. Translucent materials let us see through only partly, like thin paper. Opaque materials, like wood, do not let us see through at all.
Where do materials come from?
Wood comes from trees, metals are taken from ore dug from the Earth, and glass is mostly made of sand. Cloth comes from fibres.
