While your child works

Exercise 2 is the one worth spending time on. Do it at the kitchen counter with the actual vegetables if you can - it takes five minutes and it will stick for years.
Potato is the classic trap: it grows underground and is a stem, not a root. Plenty of adults get this wrong, so if your child does, that is not a sign of weakness.
The last exercise needs a real plant. It is worth going outside for rather than answering from imagination, because EVS at this stage is meant to be about the world the child can actually see.

The same topic at other levels

Most of these topics are taught over several years rather than in one. If this sheet is too hard or too easy, the same idea at another level is usually the fix.

Questions parents ask

About this worksheet

Is a potato a root or a stem?

A stem, even though it grows underground - it is a swollen underground stem that stores food. This is the single most common mistake on this topic, and adults make it as often as children.

Which part of the plant do we eat for cauliflower and spinach?

Cauliflower is the flower and spinach is the leaves. Sorting familiar foods by plant part is the question that separates real understanding from a memorised diagram, which is why it has its own exercise here.

Does the worksheet come with answers?

Yes, a full key for every exercise, printed separately from the questions. The open-ended last exercise is marked as having no single correct answer.

Does this Class 1 EVS worksheet come with answers?

Yes. Every exercise has a full answer key, and it prints on its own page at the end rather than beside the questions - so you can hand your child the sheet and keep the answers back. Some exercises also show one question already worked out, with the method rather than just the result, which is the part most answer keys leave out.

Is there a free printable PDF?

Yes, and there is no sign-up, no email and no account. The download button at the top of the sheet gives you the whole thing - all 54 questions across 5 exercises, plus the answer key - laid out to print on A4.

How long does this worksheet take?

About 25 minutes for 54 questions, though that is a guide rather than a target. It is designed to be split: the exercises are ordered so stopping halfway still leaves a complete piece of work, which matters more than finishing at this age.

Can I use it if my child is in a different class?

Often, yes - these topics are taught across several years and schools vary in when they arrive. Judge by the questions rather than the class on the label. If the first exercise is a struggle the level below is the better start, and the same topic at other levels is linked further up this page.
