Science Full Practice Exam – Set 3 (Class 3)

What this worksheet covers

This is a 35-question practice worksheet on full practice exam — set 3 for Class 3, written to the pattern of the SOF National Science Olympiad (NSO). It carries 40 marks and is designed to be attempted in 60 minutes, split across three sections — Section 1 — Logical Reasoning, Section 2 — Science 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.

1. 1. What comes next in the pattern? 50, 45, 40, 35, ____

   • A20
   • B25
   • C30correct
   • D35
   Solution: Each number is 5 less than the one before it: 50, 45, 40, 35.
   35 − 5 = 30.

2. 2. The loss of water vapour from the leaves of a plant is called _______.

   • AGermination
   • BTranspirationcorrect
   • CPollination
   • DRespiration
   Solution: Transpiration is the loss of water vapour from the surface of leaves into the air.

3. 3. Consider the following statements.(i) Water can exist as a solid, a liquid and a gas.(ii) A camel stores water inside its hump to survive long journeys in the desert.(iii) Every animal that hatches from an egg is a bird.Which of the statements is/are correct?

   • A(i) onlycorrect
   • B(i) and (ii) only
   • C(ii) and (iii) only
   • DAll three
   Solution: Statement (i) is correct — water exists as solid ice, liquid water and gaseous water vapour. Statement (ii) is incorrect: a camel's hump stores fat, not water; this fat is used for energy on long journeys. Statement (iii) is incorrect, since fish, frogs, snakes and many insects also hatch from eggs, not only birds. Hence only (i) is correct.
