Q.1	In a city, students were curious about where the power for their home, gadgets and appliances came from. They learned about different forms of energy and how they impact daily life. Which sources of energy were explored by the students?
	a) Solar energy		b) Wind energy
	c) Fossil fuels		d) All of the above

Q.2	Mark and Sarah are discussing ways to conserve water at home. Mark argues that taking shorter showers helps save water, while Sarah believes that using a dishwasher consumes less water than hand washing dishes. In the context of water conservation at home, which statement aligns more with effective water-saving practices based on Mark and Sarah's discussion?
	a) Mark's shorter showers significantly conserve more water than Sarah's dishwasher usage.		b) Sarah's claim of a dishwasher using less water compared to hand washing dishes is more water-efficient.
	c) Both Mark and Sarah's approaches contribute equally to water conservation efforts.		d) Neither Mark's shorter showers nor Sarah's dishwasher usage significantly impact water conservation.

Q.3	While exploring climate change's impact on ocean health, a group of students identified a process significantly contributing to ocean acidification. What aspect of climate change primarily leads to the acidification of the ocean, affecting marine organisms?
	a) Decreased levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.		b) Elevated ocean temperatures foster favourable conditions for marine life.
	c) Increased carbon dioxide absorption by the oceans, altering their pH levels.		d) Reduced water pollution due to stricter environmental regulations.

Q.4	A municipality has been experiencing outbreaks of waterborne diseases due to the presence of harmful microorganisms in its water supply. In order to eliminate disease-causing organisms and make the water safe for consumption, which crucial step in the water treatment process should the municipality prioritise?
	a) Sedimentation		b) Filtration
	c) Aeration		d) Disinfection

Q.5	Your closet is overflowing with clothes you rarely wear. How can you reuse these items instead of throwing them away? 1. Donate them to charity for someone else to enjoy. 2. Upcycle them into new creations like tote bags or pillowcases. 3. Host a clothing swap with friends to exchange unwanted items.
	a) Only 1		b) Only 2
	c) Only 2 and 3		d) 1, 2 and 3

Q.6	A city is experiencing a heat wave, and the local power plant is struggling to keep up with the increased demand for electricity. The power plant is considering burning more fossil fuels to generate more electricity. However, the burning of fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which contributes to climate change. What is the best course of action for the power plant to take?
	a) Burn more fossil fuels to meet the increased demand		b) Implement temporary energy conservation measures to reduce demand
	c) Combat carbon emissions by planting trees and funding environmental projects		d) Invest in renewable energy sources to meet the power need

Q.9	In a study, it was observed that regions with more forests experience higher rates of precipitation. What could be the explanation for this phenomenon?
	a) Trees release water vapour through transpiration, contributing to cloud formation.		b) Forests absorb all the rainfall, preventing it from reaching the ground.
	c) Trees block sunlight, causing water to evaporate more slowly.		d) Forests do not affect precipitation rates.

Q.10	The team found that the absence of natural vegetation had disrupted the local hydrological cycle, leading to water scarcity in the region. What would be the most effective strategy to restore the hydrological balance in this area?
