Explanation
NCF 2005 recommends that at the upper primary stage, science be taught through engagement with everyday experiences and through activities/experiments to construct concepts. The disciplinary approach (separating physics, chemistry, biology) is recommended only at the secondary stage. Introducing formal laws and theories also belongs to the secondary stage. Hence only statements a and b are recommended at the upper primary stage.
