The topic that moves a child's attention outward from their own house, which is the whole shift between Class 1 EVS and Class 2. The questions here ask who does a job and what they use to do it, rather than just naming people - because the tool is what makes the job memorable at seven.

Name common community helpers and say what each one does.
Match a helper to the tool or place they work with.
Say who to go to for a given everyday problem.

Write the answer · Think about it

1)Write the name of one helper you saw this week.
2)Write one way you can say thank you to a helper.
3)Why should we keep our neighbourhood clean?
4)Which helper would you like to be when you grow up, and why?
5)Name two helpers who work at night.
6)Why is every helper's work important?
7)Name one helper who works at your school besides the teachers.
8)What would happen if nobody cleaned the streets?

Answers

1) Answers will differ for every child.
2) Answers will differ - saying thank you, not littering, greeting them politely are all correct.
3) So that we stay healthy, do not fall ill, and everyone can use the streets comfortably.
4) Answers will differ - any helper, with a reason, is correct.
5) Answers will differ - a doctor, nurse, police officer, security guard or night bus driver are all correct.
6) Because we depend on all of them. If even one stopped, something we need every day would not happen.
7) Answers will differ - the sweeper, the ayah, the gardener, the security guard or the cook are all correct.
8) Rubbish would pile up, flies and rats would come, and people would fall ill.

While your child works

Tools make jobs memorable at this age. If a helper is hard to recall, ask what they hold rather than what they do - the answer usually follows.
Worth being careful with the cleanliness questions: the point is that everyone's work has value, not that some jobs are lesser. Children pick up the framing more than the facts here.
The last exercise is conversation rather than assessment. A child who noticed a helper this week has understood the topic better than one who can list ten from memory.

Class 2 EVS Plants and Animals Worksheet

Class 2 EVS · Grouping plants and animals · 60 questions with answers

Download PDF

Where Class 1 named plants and animals, Class 2 groups them - and grouping needs a reason, which is the actual skill being built. A child who can say a cow is a herbivore has learned a label; a child who can say why a lion's teeth are different from a cow's has learned the idea underneath it.

Group animals as herbivore, carnivore or omnivore and give a reason.
Group plants as trees, shrubs, herbs and creepers.
Match an animal to the place it lives and say why it suits.

Exercise 1 of 5 · 16 questions

Write H for herbivore, C for carnivore and O for omnivore.

Exercise 4 of 5 · 10 questions

Answer in one line - this is about why, not just what.

Write the answer · Challenge

Here’s one done for you

Why does a duck float easily? → Its feathers have oil on them so they do not get soaked, and its webbed feet push water. Give the reason, not just the fact - 'because it is a water bird' is not an answer, it is the question repeated.

1)Why does a camel not need to drink water often?
2)Why can a fish not live on land?
3)Why do birds have light, hollow bones?
4)Why do plants need sunlight?
5)Why does a polar bear have thick fur?
6)Why do a lion's teeth differ from a cow's?
7)Why do ducks float easily on water?
8)Why do roots grow downwards into the soil?
9)Why does a cactus have spines instead of leaves?
10)Why can a monkey climb trees so easily?

Answers

1) It stores fat in its hump and loses very little water, so it can go a long time without drinking.
2) It breathes through gills, which only work in water - it cannot take in air the way we do.
3) So that they are light enough to fly.
4) To make their own food - plants cannot eat, so they make food using sunlight, water and air.
5) To keep it warm in the very cold places where it lives.
6) A lion has sharp pointed teeth for tearing meat; a cow has flat teeth for grinding grass.
7) Their feathers have oil so they do not get soaked, and their webbed feet push the water.
8) To hold the plant firmly in the soil and to reach the water stored there.
9) Spines lose far less water than leaves, which matters in a desert.
10) It has long arms and a strong grip, and its tail helps it balance.

While your child works

The 'why' exercise is the one that matters most and the one most likely to be skipped. It is the first time EVS asks for a reason rather than a name, and that habit is exactly what Class 6 Science later demands.
Bear and crow are the omnivores children most often mark wrong, because both feel like they should belong to one group. Both genuinely eat plants and meat.
For plant groups, feel the stem where you can. Soft and green means herb; hard and woody means tree or shrub. It settles in seconds physically and takes weeks from a page.

Class 2 EVS Food, Water and Safety Worksheet

Class 2 EVS · Food, water, safety and travel · 60 questions with answers

Download PDF

A revision sheet across the four topics a Class 2 EVS year usually closes on. The food questions ask where food comes from rather than whether it is healthy - Class 1 covered healthy eating, and Class 2's job is tracing things back to their source, which is a genuinely different skill.

Say where a familiar food comes from - which plant or which animal.
Name the ways we get water and two ways to save it.
State the basic road-safety rules and sort transport by land, water and air.

Exercise 5 of 5 · 10 questions

Answer the road-safety questions.

Write the answer · Think about it

Here’s one done for you

What does a green light mean? → Go, but only after checking the road is clear. Road-safety answers are worth getting exactly right rather than roughly right, because this is the one EVS topic where the knowledge is used outside the exam.

1)What should you do before crossing a road?
2)What does a red traffic light mean?
3)Which side of the road should you walk on when there is no footpath?
4)Name one thing you should wear when riding a bicycle.
5)What does a green traffic light mean?
6)What does an amber (yellow) light mean?
7)Where is the safest place to cross a busy road?
8)Why should you never run across a road?
9)What should you wear in a car?
10)Why should you not put your hand out of a moving bus?

Answers

1) Stop, look both ways, and cross only when there is no vehicle coming - at a zebra crossing where there is one.
2) Stop.
3) The right side, so that you can see vehicles coming towards you.
4) A helmet.
5) Go, but only after checking that the road is clear.
6) Get ready to stop - the light is about to turn red.
7) At a zebra crossing, a footbridge or a subway, or where a traffic police officer is directing.
8) Because you may trip, and because a driver has less time to see you and slow down.
9) A seat belt.
10) Because a passing vehicle could hit it.

While your child works

Trace food back one step only. Honey comes from bees, not from flowers - children who over-trace end up saying everything comes from plants eventually, which is true and not what the question asks.
Road safety is the one EVS topic where being exactly right matters outside the exam. Worth walking through on an actual road rather than only on paper.
Sugar catches children out - it comes from sugarcane, a plant, though most have only seen it in a packet. That is a good moment to talk about where packaged food starts.

Open the Food, water, safety and travel worksheet on its own page

Is there an NCERT book for Class 2 EVS?

No, and it is the same situation as Class 1 - worth repeating here because most parents only discover it when two children at different schools bring home completely different EVS syllabuses.

NCERT publishes no Class 2 EVS textbook. At the foundational stage, environmental awareness is folded into other subjects rather than examined as a separate discipline. EVS becomes a named NCERT subject at Class 3, where the book is Our Wondrous World. Class 2's NCERT books are Joyful Mathematics, Mridang for English and Sarangi 2 for Hindi.

So a Class 2 EVS book comes from a private publisher, and the school chose both the book and its scope. One school may cover festivals and seasons; another may not. These worksheets stick to the strands that appear in nearly every Class 2 scheme - helpers, grouping living things, food sources, water, safety and transport - and it is worth checking your child's own book for anything additional.

What changes between Class 1 EVS and Class 2 EVS?

One thing, and it is the reason these sheets are not the Class 1 sheets with a bigger number on them: Class 1 names things, Class 2 groups them and asks why.

In Class 1 a child learns that a cow eats grass and a lion eats meat. In Class 2 they learn that this makes one a herbivore and the other a carnivore - and the useful question becomes why a lion's teeth are shaped differently from a cow's. Class 1 asks which part of a plant we eat; Class 2 asks why a camel can go without water when other animals cannot.

That shift from naming to reasoning is the whole point of the year, and it is the habit that Class 6 Science later depends on entirely. A child who learns to answer "why" questions with a mechanism at seven finds Class 6 straightforward; a child who has only ever produced labels hits a wall - our post on a child weak in Science traces that pattern back to exactly this stage.

Which is why the plants-and-animals sheet here has a whole exercise of "why" questions with full-sentence answers in the key, rather than one-word ones.

Why does Class 2 EVS suddenly cover helpers and transport?

Because the year's other movement is outward. Class 1 EVS is about the child - their body, their senses, their family, their home. Class 2 steps outside the front door.

Community helpers, means of transport, road safety and where food comes from are all versions of the same question: who and what else do I depend on? A seven-year-old is old enough to notice that the milk arrives from somewhere and that a person delivers the post, and old enough to start being trusted on a road with rules.

That last one is worth treating differently from the rest. Road safety is the only EVS topic on this page where the knowledge gets used outside an exam and where being roughly right is not good enough. It is worth walking an actual road together rather than only filling in the sheet - our answer key gives the full rule rather than a one-word answer for exactly that reason.

How should a parent use these at home?

EVS is still the subject where the worksheet should be the smaller half of the work, and at Class 2 that is even more true than at Class 1, because the material has moved into the street and the kitchen.

Do the grouping physically where you can. Feel a stem for tree-versus-herb; look at the vegetables in the kitchen for which-part-do-we-eat. Ten seconds of touching beats ten minutes of a diagram.
Push for the reason on "why" questions. "Because it is a desert animal" is the question repeated back, not an answer. The answer is that a camel stores fat and loses little water.
Walk the road-safety questions. On a real pavement, pointing at a real crossing. This is the topic where paper alone genuinely is not enough.
Keep sessions around twenty to twenty-five minutes, which is a realistic focused span at seven - see how long a child can concentrate by age.

Our Class 1 EVS worksheets cover the year before, and Class 2 Maths covers the same stage in a different subject.

Questions parents ask

Class 2 EVS worksheets - your questions

Is there an NCERT textbook for Class 2 EVS?

No. As with Class 1, NCERT publishes no Class 2 EVS book - environmental awareness at the foundational stage is folded into other subjects, and EVS becomes a named NCERT subject at Class 3 with 'Our Wondrous World'. Class 2's NCERT books are Joyful Mathematics, Mridang and Sarangi 2. Any Class 2 EVS book is a private publisher's.

What is the difference between Class 1 and Class 2 EVS?

Class 1 names things; Class 2 groups them and asks why. Class 1 learns that a cow eats grass, Class 2 learns that makes it a herbivore and asks why its teeth differ from a lion's. That shift from naming to reasoning is what Class 6 Science later depends on.

What is the difference between a herbivore, carnivore and omnivore?

Herbivores eat only plants, carnivores only meat, and omnivores both. Bear, crow and dog are omnivores and are the ones children most often mark wrong, because each feels like it should belong to a single group.

How do I explain trees, shrubs and herbs?

By the stem: a tree is tall with one hard woody trunk, a shrub is shorter with several woody stems, and a herb is small with a soft green stem. Feeling a real stem settles it far faster than a diagram does.

Does honey come from a plant or an animal?

An animal - bees make it, even though they gather nectar from flowers. The rule for these questions is to trace back one step only; children who keep tracing conclude that everything comes from plants, which is not what is being asked.

Do these worksheets have answer keys?

Yes, every one, printed separately from the questions. The reasoning questions get full-sentence answers rather than one-word ones, since the reason is the thing being taught.

Are the PDFs free?

Free, printable, and no sign-up or email needed. Every question also appears on this page as readable text.

How long should a Class 2 child spend on one worksheet?

About twenty to twenty-five minutes. That is a realistic focused span at seven, and a tired child produces mistakes that look like gaps but are not.
