Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Answer: primary students (प्राथमिक छात्र) Key idea: Primary-aged children learn especially well through direct sensory and hands-on experiences. An outdoor lesson makes abstract ideas about environmental sustainability concrete by allowing children to see, touch, and explore real examples. Why this works: Primary learners are still developing abstract thinking, so concrete, experiential activities help them form lasting mental models of concepts.
Examples: Observing local plants and animals, touching soil, measuring simple environmental variables, or planting a small garden make sustainability ideas tangible.
Teaching tip: Use guided questions, short hands-on tasks, and concrete demonstrations outdoors to link experiences to the concept of sustainability.
Contrast with older learners: Older students and adults also benefit from outdoor learning—especially for complex investigative work and applied projects—but they generally rely more on abstract reasoning and prior knowledge, so the relative boost from sensory-based outdoor lessons is usually less dramatic.
