Practice questions

Q1A teacher asks Imran to observe where handwashing water goes after lunch. Which principle is being used?

A Activity and discovery-based EVS

B Only textbook memorisation

C Punishment for wasting water

D A written test of definitions

Explanation

Imran is not being asked to recite a definition. He observes a familiar event, talks about where water goes, and can suggest reuse or saving. That matches the activity, discovery and application spirit of RTE §29.

Q2Which example shows reuse in a primary EVS lesson on water, waste and conservation?

A Throwing a glass jar into mixed waste after one use

B Using water left after washing vegetables to water a plant

C Burning dry leaves behind the classroom

D Leaving a tap open so the floor stays wet

Explanation

Reuse means using something again instead of discarding it quickly. Water left from washing vegetables can be used for a plant, while burning waste, leaving taps open and throwing useful items away all work against conservation.

Q3Assertion: EVS in early primary should connect with children’s familiar life. Reason: NCF-FS 2022 links the Foundational Stage to ages 3-8 and NEP 2020’s 5+3+3+4 structure.

A Assertion is true, Reason is false

B Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason supports the Assertion

C Assertion is false, Reason is true

D Both Assertion and Reason are false

Explanation

The reason supports the assertion. Asha and Imran learn water and trees through taps, vessels, shade and local words before abstract terms. The NEP-NCF frame gives legitimacy to this child-centred, familiar-life approach.

Q4Which statement best explains conservation for a primary EVS lesson on water and forests?

A Using a resource carefully and protecting it so it remains available later

B Never using any resource, even when it is needed for daily life

C Using a resource quickly before other people can use it

D Keeping resources only in books and not connecting them with home or school life

Explanation

Conservation is careful use and protection of a resource so it remains available. Options about never using, rushing to consume, or keeping the idea only in books miss the practical EVS idea of responsible use.

Q5A teacher gives four picture cards for waste sorting. Which card should be placed under wet waste?

A A plastic wrapper from a snack packet

B Fruit peels left after lunch

C A metal bottle cap

D A torn notebook page

Explanation

Wet waste means material such as fruit peels or food remains that can rot and become compost. Plastic, metal and paper need separate handling because they do not behave like food waste.

6Match the classroom situation with the most suitable EVS idea. 1. Water left after washing vegetables is poured near a plant. 2. The drinking-water pot is kept covered. 3. Children close a leaking tap. 4. Fruit peels are kept separately for compost.

7Assertion: In primary EVS, a teacher should prefer visible pollution examples such as smoke, dirty water and litter. Reason: Young children first build EVS understanding through observation of familiar surroundings.

ABoth the assertion and reason are true, and the reason explains the assertion.

BBoth the assertion and reason are true, but the reason does not explain the assertion.

CThe assertion is true, but the reason is false.

DThe assertion is false, but the reason is true.

14In an inclusive EVS class on water, forest and pollution, which classroom situation best shows respect for every child's experience?

AA child who uses a wheelchair records observations from an accessible spot while the group studies a nearby tree.

BThe teacher asks that child to stay in class and copy a paragraph on trees.

COnly the fastest children are allowed to inspect the tree and report to the class.

ABegin with distant forest laws and technical names of all tree species.

BBegin with nearby trees, shade, soil, birds, insects and shared habitats.
