Under category 'Science and Environment Education' of Class 5 Science subject Unit:7 - "Environment and its Conservation", Students and teachers can find the notes and solutions of fill in the blanks, true and false statements, definitions, match the followings, definitions, question answers, make meaningful words, glossary and extra word meanings in Nepali language.

EXERCISE:

1. Fill in the blanks with correct words.

disturb	balance	non-degraded	afforestation
terracing	smokeless	environment

a. Environment includes living things and non-living things around us.

b. Human activities disturb the balance in the environmental and cause different problems.

c. Smokeless energy sources like wind energy, hydroelectricity, solar energy should be used.

d. If we kill snakes, then the number of frogs and mice increase and they disturb the balance of the environment.

e. The process of planting tree saplings on the empty spaces and barren land is called afforestation.
