As per the NCF, 2005, which one among the following is the theme of EVS ? Correct Answer Food
The syllabus of EVS has been developed within a child-centred perspective of themes that provide a common interface of issues in social studies, sciences and environmental education. The syllabus for Classes III-V is woven around six common themes given below; the predominant theme on Family and Friends encompasses four sub-themes:- Family and Friends:
- Relationships
- Work and Play
- Animals
- Plants
- Food
- Shelter
- Water
- Travel
- Things We Make and Do
The syllabus web moves outward over the three years; it gradually extends the child’s understanding of her world, beginning from the immediate ‘self ’ to include her family, the neighbourhood, the locality and also the country. Thus by the time the child reaches Class V, she is able to see her ‘self ’ in the larger context – as part of a community, the country and also, more tacitly, as located in this world. Note that:
- ‘Plants’ and ‘Animals’ have consciously been included under the theme of ‘Family and Friends’ to highlight how humans share a close relationship with them and to also provide a holistic and integrated scientific and social perspective of studying them.
- The theme ‘Family and Friends’, especially through its two sub-themes Relationships and Work and Play, allows children to look at their own body as part of their ‘self’ in a more contextual and connected manner.
Hence, we conclude that 'Food' is one of the themes in EVS.
