Frequently asked questions

Is boiling really enough to make water safe?

Boiling kills germs, which is what the Grade 3 syllabus focuses on. It does not remove mud or chemicals, which is why the worksheet also asks about filtering and settling.

Does this cover the Grade 3 EVS food chapter?

Yes - food groups, balanced meals, food sources, food spoilage and safe drinking water are the standard Grade 3 topics in this chapter.

My child listed junk food as energy-giving. Is that wrong?

Not entirely, and it is worth discussing: sugary food does give quick energy but lacks the other nutrients, which is exactly why balanced meals are the point of the chapter.
