OXFORD NEW SCIENCE IN EVERYDAY LIFE-5

Oxford New Science in Everyday Life – 5 is a comprehensive science textbook designed to help learners explore scientific concepts through observation, experimentation, inquiry, and real-world applications. Published by Oxford University Press, the book encourages students to understand science not merely as a subject but as an essential part of everyday life.

The book follows a constructivist and competency-based learning approach, where learners actively build knowledge through interaction with their surroundings. Through engaging lessons, colourful illustrations, hands-on activities, experiments, projects, and thought-provoking questions, students develop curiosity, scientific temper, and a deeper understanding of the world around them.

The content covers important areas of science such as living organisms, food and health, materials and matter, force and energy, air and water, environmental conservation, natural resources, and scientific phenomena encountered in daily life. Each chapter is designed to promote observation, investigation, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.

Aligned with NEP 2020 and NCF-SE 2023, the book integrates experiential learning, scientific skills, life skills, arts integration, values education, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and India-focused contexts.
