Animals Around Us (Class 1)

What this worksheet covers

This is a fifteen-question practice worksheet on animals around us for Class 1, written to the pattern of the SOF National Science Olympiad (NSO). It carries 18 marks and is designed to be attempted in 30 minutes, split across three sections — Knowing Animals, Animals and Their Homes and Achievers Section. Every question is multiple choice with exactly one correct option, and every one comes with a fully worked solution rather than just an answer key — so a child who gets one wrong can see where the reasoning went astray instead of only learning that it did.

   • ABee — hivecorrect
   • BHorse — nest
   • CBird — kennel
