and cultural environments.
o To create an understanding based on
observation and illustration that isn't based on
abstract concepts but rather on real-world
examples and the physical, biological, social, and
cultural components of existence.
o To abandon rote memorising and adopt a
textbook-based strategy.
o To develop the child's cognitive abilities and
inventiveness so that they are fascinated about
social phenomena, first inside the family and
then in larger contexts;
o To encourage a child's inventiveness and
curiosity, especially with regard to the natural
world. The teaching-learning process should be
based on the children's actual experiences, and
the life of a child at school must be connected to
their life outside of school.
9. Ans. B.
Step 1: The correct answer is option B
Step 2: EVS at primary level
EVS is a topic area that integrates knowledge
from physical, chemical, and biological sciences,
social studies (history, geography, political
science, sociology, etc.), and environmental
education at the elementary level (protection
and conservation). It aims to provide kids a
comprehensive or integrated understanding of
the environment they live in.
Step 3: Goals of EVS at primary level
www.byjusexamprep.com
* Give students the ability to access, analyse, and
make deductions about environmental issues
and issues of concern.
* Introduce kids to the real world (natural and
socio-cultural).
* Assist them in comprehending environmental
concerns.
* Promote and encourage positive
environmental principles and attitudes.
* To involve the child in hands-on, exploratory
activities to help them learn fundamental
cognitive and psychomotor abilities through
observation, categorization, inference, etc.
* To foster a child's inventiveness and sense of
wonder, especially with regard to the natural
world.
10. Ans. A.
Step 1: The correct answer is option A
Step 2: Pedagogy of EVS
* At the primary level, EVS pedagogy is
connected to the child's everyday experiences.
* Involves a number of exercises where the
teacher merely serves as a facilitator and the
student completes everything on their own.
* Is kid-centered, meaning that the child is not
merely seen as the teacher's passive student
* Gives kids a lot of possibilities to investigate,
think critically, and learn.
* Refrains from rote memorization and only
retains academic knowledge.
11. Ans. A.
Step 1: The correct answer is option A
pg. 11
Step 2: Importance of EVS at Primary level
* EVS aids youngsters in exploring their own
"selves" as well as areas beyond it, such as their
family (environment), neighbourhood, city, and
nation. In EVS, teaching-learning activities are
visually represented to assist the child in locating
themselves in a larger context as members of a
community, a nation, etc.
* Teachers find it difficult to encourage children's
initiative and creativity throughout the teaching-
learning process of EVS at the primary school
level because:
o They must abandon the traditional lecture and
blackboard methods in favour of various new,
learner-centered ones.
o Teachers should create a variety of cutting-
edge activities to foster children's inventiveness.
12. Ans. B.
Step 1: The correct answer is option B
Step 2: Importance of stories
* For instance, narratives from experts and
farmers about issues like farming and food
preservation promote learning.
* By using stories to maintain kids' attention for
longer periods of time, more information can be
imparted to them.
* Stories about notable people who have
accomplished something in life can motivate kids
to advance. Students relate to the stories'
realism and attempt to examine the issue in their
immediate environment.
* In addition to sharing stories and narratives
with the students, students are urged to do the
same with their own experiences.
13. Ans. A.
www.byjusexamprep.com
Step 1: The correct answer is option A
Step 2: Explanation
* EVS is a subject with many different themes.
Children interact with the subject being taught
by connecting their real-life experiences to the
learning through themes.
* Six themes make up the EVS course syllabus.
• The theme of family and friends, which has
four sub-themes.
• Relationships, work, play, nature, animals,
food, water, shelter, travel, and the things we
create and do are just a few examples.
14. Ans. A.
Step 1: The correct answer is option A
Step 2: Importance of teaching learning in EVS
* Activities are carried out as part of EVS learning
to offer a hands-on learning opportunity.
* To improve psychomotor abilities: Muscular
and motor activities are a part of this type of
learning. Psychomotor learning happens
alongside the other two forms of learning, just
like cognitive and emotional learning do. Physical
abilities that are developed through time in
response to cues and stimuli from the
environment serve as examples.
* To learn how to manipulate objects: This is the
capacity to carry out certain activities by paying
attention to directions and practising.
* To provide hands-on experience: Giving
children hands-on experience helps them learn
things more effectively. It is better to have pupils
construct a vermicompost pit, for instance, than
to show them how to do it.
15. Ans. B.
pg. 12
Step 1: The correct answer is option B
Step 2: Important Points
* EVS is a subject that calls for a lot of activities
and innovative teaching techniques. By keeping
the child passive and only treating him or her as
a student, EVS cannot be taught to the youngster
in a proper way.
* Children can learn about EVS in a meaningful
way if: the teacher connects the material to the
students' actual experiences.
* The teacher encourages the group projects
created by the students.
* Students are allowed the freedom to voice
their opinions and pose inquiries about the
subject.
* Students can make connections between the
activities and their everyday lives, teachers
conduct activities based on the local settings of
the students.

Step 1: The correct answer is option B
Step 2: What is Field Trips
A field trip is an excursion outside of the typical
classroom where students can engage in new
activities, encounter novel situations, and gain
important life lessons.
Step 3: Importance of Field Trips
* They get to see a variety of plants and plant
parts.
* The teacher can demonstrate each and every
element of the plant and its functions by
exhibiting the genuine plant. Real experiences
help students retain the concepts for a long time.
Children receive hands-on experience by
touching the plants on the field.

bringing attention to current environmental
issues and their causes. By reading the news
articles' facts and stories, students can learn a lot
about the environment.
* Surveys: These provide students with accurate
information and simulate real-world conditions.
For instance, a study on people's eating habits
could inform students about the lack of food,
healthy and unhealthy eating habits, the effort
required to obtain food, etc.
* Community members: Are seen as excellent
resources for EVS learning because ethical
citizens may be invited to the school and
requested to speak about environmental issues
in relation to their own experiences.

available, etc. from them. You can also phone
the members of the food preservation
department to talk about ways to preserve food
without compromising food output.
* If surveys are completed, they provide students
with accurate information and simulate
conditions they would encounter in the actual
world. For instance, a study on people's eating
habits could inform students about the lack of
food, healthy and unhealthy eating habits, the
effort required to obtain food, etc.
* Via a field trip: A field trip is an excursion
outside of the typical classroom setting where
students can try new things, engage in novel
experiences, and pick up important life lessons.

The Persian word "Pashmina" literally translates
to "Made of Wool." The fabric's name,
"Pashmina," was given by the Iranians who
entered Kashmir via the Ladakh road. The
Changthangi or Pashmina goat, a unique breed
of goats found in the high-altitude regions of
Nepal and India, is the source of the wool.
Traditional Pashmina Wool producers are the
Changpa tribe from the Changthang area of
Ladakh.
These shawls are made by Kashmiri weavers by
hand because the delicate hair cannot be woven
on machines. The thinness of a pashmina shawl
belies its warmth. A pashmina shawl is said to be
as warm as six sweaters.

off learning by doing.
* Activities carried out by teachers should be
followed by discussions in the learning of EVS
because children can clarify any doubts raised
throughout the activity.
* During the debate, kids can evaluate their own
and each other's learning.
* Every student shares their opinions on the
subject and the activity throughout the
conversation.
* Additionally, teachers can evaluate how well
kids learn and apply their knowledge by having
discussions with them.

The process of classifying the creatures is known
as classification. When we classify anything, we
divide it into categories according to its traits.
This is a highly significant ability in terms of EVS.
EVS learning at the primary stage mainly focuses
on exposing children to their surroundings and
environment in order to help them be connected
to and aware of environmental issues.
Classification forces students to apply the
knowledge they learned in the classroom to real-
life situations or in the field. Classification
enables students to categorise issues, resources,
and many more.

argue against it.
* During debate, students present arguments
about the subject in light of their knowledge and
comprehension of it. Students have the
opportunity to learn about all the facets of the
subject if they are unfamiliar with it during the
discussion. Children offer evidence or arguments
in support of the claims they make.

strong sense that either an animal, an insect, or a
person can possess. Animals have a variety of
senses, including the ability to hear, smell, see,
feel, and taste. Ants, dogs, silkworms, bats with
echolocation, catfish with taste perception,
platypuses with electroreception, and other
species are examples of creatures with super
www.byjusexamprep.com

senses. If we dropped anything tasty on the

ground, ants would quickly gather around it.

* The worker ants leave a trail of pheromones on

their route to the colony after collecting food or
sweets. The other ants followed this aroma using
their sense of smell to find the food.

* Every ant colony has a distinct fragrance that

helps members of the colony locate one another.

* Bees: When they sting, bees release

compounds that make other bees attracted to
them. Bees also utilise this odour to locate a new
home.

* Silkworm: Silk warm can detect the scent of his

female companion from a great distance.

* They exude a substance with a jasmine aroma

thanks to a receptor found in their antennae.

Ants, bees, and silkworms are among the

animals/insects that use smell to locate
members of their own species.
