Puneet gave his class V learners an outline of human body and asked them to draw the digestive system before teaching chapter on food. Puneet wanted to
Answer: B
Puneet wanted to elicit learners' ideas about digestion.
The drawing comes before the chapter is taught, so it cannot be testing what the class has learned. Asking children to draw what they think happens inside the body brings out their existing ideas, including alternative conceptions, which the teacher can then build on or challenge during the lesson.
Testing whether learners can make labelled diagrams and evaluating them on the process of digestion are assessments of learning, which make sense only after teaching. Identifying good drawers is unrelated to the science purpose of the task.
