Food and Good Habits (Class 2)

What this worksheet covers

This is a fifteen-question practice worksheet on food and good habits for Class 2, written to the pattern of the SOF National Science Olympiad (NSO). It carries 18 marks and is designed to be attempted in 35 minutes, split across three sections — The Food We Need, Staying Healthy 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.

   • CTo make it look nice

3. 3. Rita's lunch is rice, chapati and boiled potato. What should she add to make her meal balanced?

   • ADal and a green vegetablecorrect
   • BMore rice
   • CA second chapati
   • DA sweet
