What this worksheet teaches

• Explain the water cycle and how pollution enters it at different points.

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

1. Climate refers to:
2. Which of these is a clean fuel?

Frequently asked questions

My child gets anxious about environmental problems. Any advice?

Spend proportionally more time on the conservation and action questions than the pollution ones, and end each session with something your family can control. Agency reduces worry more effectively than reassurance does.

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.
