How to use this worksheet

Grade 5 environment answers are judged on cause and effect, so ask your child to underline the effect in each of their own answers. If nothing can be underlined, the answer has named a problem without explaining what it does - the single most common reason for lost marks in this topic.

Sample questions from this worksheet

Frequently asked questions

Is this useful revision before an exam?

Yes. The vocabulary and cause-and-effect structure match how Grade 5 environment questions are usually worded in tests.

Does my child need to memorise statistics?

No. Grade 5 questions ask for processes and reasons, not figures. Understanding how deforestation removes habitat matters far more than remembering a number.

Is climate change part of this topic?

It appears in a simple form through emissions, fuels and tree cover. The worksheets stay on observable causes and effects rather than detailed climate science.
