 Preface
As they grow, children are curious to make discovery about self and the world around them. Viva ICSE
Environmental Studies adopts an integrated approach to help children understand themselves and

n
their surroundings. It aims to develop amongst children a holistic understanding of constant interaction
of human beings with their natural, social and cultural environment. The focus in this book is not only

o
on creating awareness and knowledge of concepts, but also inculcating positive values and attitudes.

ti
This book also strives to enhance the skills of children by their active participation in various projects.
Viva ICSE Environmental Studies is developed according to the latest CISCE curriculum to meet the

ca
objective of learning about the environment, through the environment and for the environment of
the children.

du
The theme of each chapter is introduced in a child-friendly manner through a child character.
Very simple language is used to explain the dynamics of society and environment.
Colourful illustrations are used to help children to understand and retain the concepts.

E
'Granny says' aims at inculcating positive values and attitude amongst children.
Interesting projects, experiments and creative corner seek to nurture children's creativity and
curiosity.
a
iv
Chapter-end exercises are included to test the understanding of the children.
Interesting facts interspersed in the book provide extra fodder to the young minds.
V

Fun activities are sure to make learning an enjoyable process.

In adherence to the latest CISCE curriculum, Viva ICSE Environmental Studies endeavours to promote
©

certain skills amongst children. This book calls for an active participation of children through
various projects and activities. Through these activities, children learn to observe, question, report,
ht

classify, explain and analyse various things and situations. For instance, while collecting pictures and
information on certain topics, children learn to observe and report facts and events. Drawing pictures
gives expression to their imagination. Making models enhances their creative expression.
ig

By undertaking experiments, children learn to logically connect cause and effect of various events and
situations. It sharpens their reasoning and analytical skills. Conducting experiments stimulates their
yr

mind towards innovation and improvisation. They learn to question and seek answers themselves.
Children learn the values of cooperation and responsibility when they participate in any project with
op

their classmates.
Participation in role play, writing and talking about certain issues help children enhance their skills
of expression. They learn to appreciate diversity and develop sensitivity towards others in their social
C

environment.
We hope the journey through this book will be a unique and enriching experience for the teachers and
our little pupils. We also welcome any suggestion for the improvement of this book.
