What this worksheet teaches

How to use this worksheet

By Grade 3 the expectation shifts from listing good habits to giving reasons, so after each answer ask 'and what happens next?' once. If your child writes that litter is bad, push gently for the chain: litter reaches the drain, the drain reaches the water, animals live in that water. That chain is what the topic is really assessing.

Sample questions from this worksheet

1. Which material keeps us warm?
2. Which is a conductor of heat?

Frequently asked questions

Can this be used in class?

Yes. The action questions work well as a group discussion or a small class project, and the pollution questions work as individual written practice.

My child gives very short answers. Is that a problem?

At Grade 3, examiners look for a reason attached to the answer. Encourage the word 'because' in at least half the answers - that one habit lifts the quality of a whole page.

Are renewable and non-renewable resources covered here?

In simple form, yes - resources that can be replaced, such as trees and water, compared with fuels and minerals that cannot. Detailed energy sources come later.
