Discussion
As per the theme "Travel" given in NCERT textbook, children are made to understand the technology, design, use of metals, etc. of the olden times through historical buildings. Which general objective of studying the environment is being achieved through this theme ?
Answer: B
The objective is estimating and measuring work as a preparatory step, keeping in view the development of quantitative skills in later stages.
One general objective in the NCERT EVS syllabus is to emphasise design and fabrication, estimation and measurement, as a prelude to the technological and quantitative skills of later stages. Looking at the technology, design and use of metals in old buildings under the theme 'Travel' asks children to notice sizes, proportions, materials and how things were built, which is exactly this objective.
Writing a survey report, filling in a map of buildings and identifying directions are activities, not the general objective the theme serves, and they do not match the focus on technology, design and metals.
