Updated for 2026–27: This page contains an archived SCO Olympiad Class 1 Science previous-year practice paper with an embedded PDF, picture-based questions and an answer key. The existing URL is being preserved because it already has Google search history, while the visible content now correctly identifies the resource as SCO Olympiad.

For Class 1, the best use of a previous-year paper is gentle practice: observe the pictures, understand the question, choose an answer and discuss why it is correct. The goal should be curiosity and confidence rather than memorising old answer choices.

Current curriculum note: NCERT’s Foundational Stage learning outcomes include environment-related learning such as food, health, sensory awareness and the world around the child. An older Olympiad paper can therefore remain useful for practice, but it should not be treated as a replacement for the child’s current school material. See the NCERT Foundational Stage learning outcomes.

How to Use This Class 1 Science Olympiad Paper

• Let the child first look carefully at each picture and explain what they notice.
• Read difficult words aloud when needed, but allow the child to choose the answer independently.
• Use a short practice session rather than making a young learner complete everything at once.
• After checking the answer key, discuss mistakes with simple examples from daily life.
• Repeat only the difficult concepts later; do not encourage memorising option letters.
