Understanding Environments and Living Things

The video introduces the concept of living things, highlighting their ability to grow, breathe, reproduce, and eat. It explains the environment as the surroundings where living things exist, using examples like polar bears, ducks, plants, and humans to illustrate different environments. The video also distinguishes between living and non-living things, emphasizing the components of the earth such as rocks, soil, water, and sunlight. The session concludes with a preview of future topics on the biosphere and adaptation.
