At the primary level, Environmental Education (EE) is introduced as Environmental Studies (EVS). EVS for classes III to V deals with the study of our environment (physical, biological, and socio-cultural) with an emphasis on its preservation and conservation (NCF 2005). EVS, at the primary stage, is an integrated subject area that draws upon insights from sciences (physical, chemical, and biological), social studies (history, geography, political science, sociology, etc), and environmental education (protection and conservation).It helps children connect with their natural and human-made environment and in understanding our dependence on the various components of the environment (biotic, abiotic, and human-made).Also, It helps children develop a holistic understanding of their environment including the socio-cultural environment.Further, It helps children in maintaining a multidisciplinary perspective to the understanding of our environmental issues/problems and appreciate the impact/s of our daily activities on its integrity.Hence, we conclude that Environmental studies derives from both science and social science.
