Social Science, CBSE class 7
A wide year: medieval history, the workings of the environment, and how power is shared and checked. It covers more ground than any other subject in the year and is often the one left until last.
CBSE class 7 sets 10 chapters of social science, 20 topics between them.

My child finds this the dullest subject on the timetable. Can that change?
Often it can, and usually the problem is that it is being met as a wall of paragraphs. The same chapter as a map that gets drawn while somebody talks over it, or a short film of how a thing actually worked, is a different experience. Wobo picks the form to suit the idea rather than the subject.
