Q.1	Pam wants to help the bird population recover. She is considering a number of different conservation strategies. What are some of the conservation strategies that Pam could consider? 1. Planting trees to provide more nesting sites and food sources 2. Reducing the amount of deforestation in the area 3. Educating people about the importance of protecting the forest ecosystem

Q.2	Arya is a marine scientist who is studying the impact of climate change on the marine food web. She notices that the populations of some fish species are declining, while the populations of other fish species are increasing. She also notices that the populations of some phytoplankton species are declining, while the populations of other phytoplankton species are increasing. What could be the reason for these changes in the marine food web? 1. Climate change is causing the ocean to become warmer, which is affecting the distribution of fish species. 2. Climate change is causing the ocean to become more acidic, which is affecting the distribution of phytoplankton species. 3. Climate change is causing the ocean to become more polluted, which is affecting the distribution of both fish and phytoplankton species.

Q.4	On a school trip to the mountains, some students decide to have a picnic after hiking. They use a nearby stream to wash their hands and fruits before eating.
