Class 1 science (often taught as EVS) is about noticing the world: what is alive and what isn't, the parts of a plant, where animals live, our body and senses, and the sun, moon and stars. At this age the goal is curiosity and simple vocabulary, not memorising definitions.
Here are 10 Class 1 science questions from our practice bank, with answers and short explanations you can read aloud.
What Class 1 Science covers
Brain & Bounce Kids splits Class 1 Science into these 8 topics. Linked topics have their own practice set.
- Living World
- Body Explorer
- Plant Planet
- Animal Kingdom
- Earth Care
- Sky Watch
- Health Heroes

10 Class 1 Science questions with answers
Ask your child to answer each question out loud first, then tap Show answer to check. The questions get a little harder as you go down each topic.
Living World
Q1. Which of these is a living thing?
A) A puppy
B) A rock
C) A toy car
D) A chair
Show answer
Answer: A) A puppy
A puppy is living because it eats, grows, breathes, and moves all by itself.
- Let's ask: which one eats, grows, and moves on its own?
- A puppy eats food, grows bigger, and runs around — so it is living!
Common mistake: A toy car can move, but only when we push it or use batteries — it cannot move on its own, so it is not living.
Remember: Living things eat, grow, breathe, and move all by themselves.

Sky Watch
Q9. Mia looks out her window and sees the Moon and many tiny lights twinkling in a dark sky. What time of day is it most likely to be?
A) Night
B) Noon
C) Morning
D) Lunchtime
Show answer
Answer: A) Night
A dark sky with the Moon and twinkling stars tells us it is night.
- Let's look at the clues: the sky is dark and there are twinkling lights.
- Twinkling lights in a dark sky are stars, and stars show up at night.
- So it must be nighttime.
Common mistake: Morning might seem right because the Moon can sometimes still be seen in the morning — but the twinkling stars and the dark sky are the big clues that it is night.
Remember: A dark sky with stars means it is nighttime.
Q10. Which of these can we sometimes see floating in the sky during the day?
A) Clouds
B) Rocks
C) Trees
D) Fish
Show answer
Answer: A) Clouds
Clouds float in the sky — the other things stay on land or in water.
- Think about what belongs up in the sky and what belongs down on the ground.
- Rocks, trees, and fish stay on the ground or in water.
- Clouds float high in the sky, so clouds is the answer.
Remember: Sky things float above us; land and water things stay below.
How to help your child with Class 1 Science
- Connect it to what they see. Plants on the balcony, ice melting in a glass and shadows at different times of day are all science lessons.
- Ask "why?" after every answer. Science questions in Olympiads often test the reason, not the fact.
- Draw it. Labelling a plant, the parts of the body or the water cycle helps children remember structure.
- Keep it short and regular. A few questions a day keeps facts fresh far better than cramming before a test.
Olympiad connection
Science practice supports the NSO (National Science Olympiad). Its Level 1 paper tests the school science and EVS syllabus plus logical reasoning. Our NSO 2026-27 guide covers the pattern and a study plan. See our guides: Olympiad exams for Classes 1–5 · logical reasoning practice.

Frequently asked questions
- What topics are covered in Class 1 Science?
- Brain & Bounce Kids covers 8 topics in Class 1 Science: Living World, Body Explorer, Plant Planet, Animal Kingdom, Earth Care, Sky Watch, Health Heroes, Material Magic.
- Are these Class 1 Science questions useful for Olympiads?
- Yes. NSO (National Science Olympiad) Level 1 is built on the same school science and EVS topics. Olympiad questions add more "why" and application questions, so ask your child to explain each answer, not just pick it.
- How much Science practice does a Class 1 child need each day?
- Five to ten minutes a day is enough for most children in Classes 1–5. Short, regular practice with an explanation after each mistake works better than a long session once a week.
