According to the new NCERT/CBSE Class 7 Science syllabus 2025-26, Chapter 1 is:

🔹 “The Ever-Evolving World of Science”

This chapter introduces what science is, how scientists work, experiments, observations, and
the importance of curiosity.

📘 Chapter 1: The Ever-Evolving World of Science –

Questions & Answers
Q1. What is science?

Ans:
Science is the systematic study of the natural world based on observation, experimentation,
and reasoning. It helps us to explain natural phenomena and apply knowledge for human
progress.

Q2. Why is curiosity called the basis of science?

Ans:

 Curiosity makes us ask questions like “Why?” and “How?”

 These questions lead to observations, experiments, and discoveries.
 Without curiosity, no new inventions or scientific progress would be possible.
👉 Example: Curiosity about the sky led humans to study stars, planets, and space.
Q3. What are the main steps in the scientific method?

Ans:

1. Observation – noticing something carefully.

2. Asking questions – finding the “why” or “how.”
3. Hypothesis – suggesting a possible explanation.
4. Experimentation – testing the hypothesis.
5. Conclusion – accepting or rejecting the hypothesis.
6. Sharing results – so others can learn and verify.

Q4. How is science different from belief or superstition?

Ans:

 Science is based on evidence and experiments, while superstition is based on blind

belief.
 Science can be tested and verified anywhere, superstition cannot.
👉 Example: Eclipses explained by science as movement of Earth, Moon, Sun (not
myths).

Q5. Give two examples of how science has changed our daily life.

Ans:

1. Electricity – lights, fans, computers, machines.

2. Medical science – vaccines, X-rays, treatments.
3. Transport & communication – cars, airplanes, internet, mobile phones.
(Any two can be written.)

Q6. What is an experiment? Why is it important?

Ans:
An experiment is a test carried out to study or prove a fact.

 It helps to check whether a hypothesis is correct.

 Experiments give reliable evidence for scientific conclusions.

Q7. Write short notes on the following:

(a) Observation – Using senses (eyes, ears, touch, etc.) to notice things carefully.
(b) Hypothesis – A possible explanation or answer that can be tested.
(c) Theory – A well-tested explanation supported by evidence.

Q8. Why is sharing of scientific knowledge important?

Ans:

 It allows other scientists to verify results.

 It helps society benefit from new discoveries.
 It prevents repeating the same mistakes.

✅ These cover the important NCERT exercise type questions + some extra practice
questions for exams.

Here’s a one-page quick revision notes for Class 7 Science, Chapter 1: The Ever-
Evolving World of Science (2025-26 NCERT/CBSE)

📘 Revision Notes – Chapter 1

The Ever-Evolving World of Science

🔹 What is Science?
 Systematic study of nature.
 Based on observation, experimentation, reasoning.
 Helps us understand, explain, and improve life.
🔹 Basis of Science: Curiosity
 Curiosity → Questions → Observations → Discoveries.
 Example: Curiosity about sky → Astronomy.

🔹 Steps of Scientific Method

1. Observation → Careful noting of facts (e.g., apple falls).
2. Question → Why does this happen?
3. Hypothesis → Guess/explanation (gravity pulls objects).
4. Experiment → Testing the guess.
5. Conclusion → Correct / incorrect?
6. Sharing results → So others can verify.

👉 Science = Ask, Test, Prove, Share

🔹 Science vs. Superstition

Science Superstition
Based on evidence, experiments. Based on blind belief.
Universal & repeatable. Cannot be proved.
Example: Eclipse = shadow of Moon/Earth. Eclipse = bad omen.

🔹 Importance of Experiments
 Confirm hypothesis.
 Give reliable evidence.
 Lead to inventions (e.g., bulb, medicines).

🔹 Contributions of Science in Daily Life

 Electricity – lights, machines, computers.
 Medicine – vaccines, X-ray, surgery.
 Transport – trains, airplanes.
 Communication – mobiles, internet.

📝 Key Terms
  Observation – Careful noting using senses.
 Hypothesis – A possible explanation.
 Experiment – A test to verify.
 Theory – Explanation supported by evidence.

🔹 Diagram to Remember (Scientific Method Flowchart)

👉 Curiosity/Question → Observation → Hypothesis → Experiment → Conclusion →
Sharing

✨ Tip for Exams: Always write examples (electricity, medicine, eclipse) to support your
answers.

o Dissolving sugar in water

2. Chemical Changes

 New substance is formed with different properties.

 Usually irreversible.
 Heat/light/gas may be produced.
 Examples:
o Burning of wood → ash, CO₂
o Rusting of iron
o Cooking of food
 o Digestion of food

3. Rusting of Iron

 Iron + Oxygen + Water → Rust (hydrated iron oxide).

 Prevent rusting: painting, oiling, galvanisation.

4. Crystallisation

 A process to obtain pure solid crystals from solution.

 Example: salt from sea water.

5. Differences Between Physical & Chemical Changes

Physical Change Chemical Change

No new substance New substance formed
Usually reversible Usually irreversible
Example: ice melting Example: burning paper
