What this worksheet teaches

• Explain photosynthesis and respiration in simple terms and say where in the plant each happens.
• Classify animals into vertebrate groups and justify the choice with more than one feature.
• Trace energy through a food web and predict what happens if one organism is removed.
• Explain how structural and behavioural adaptations help survival in a specific habitat.

How to use this worksheet

Grade 5 questions reward precise wording, so read your child's written answers for the exact terms rather than the general idea. 'The plant makes food' is a Grade 2 answer; by Grade 5 it should mention sunlight, carbon dioxide, water and the leaf. Ask them to add the missing word rather than rewriting the sentence.

Sample questions from this worksheet

1. A plant with broad leaves will have ______ photosynthesis.
2. Which plant stores food in leaves?

Frequently asked questions

Are decomposers included?

Yes, food-web questions at Grade 5 usually include decomposers, since energy returning to the soil is part of the expected picture at this level.

Is this suitable revision before a test?

Yes. The mix of labelling, classification and short explanation questions matches the format of most Grade 5 science assessments on living things.

How much detail should a Grade 5 answer contain?

Enough to name the process and its inputs - for photosynthesis, sunlight, water and carbon dioxide, and the leaf as the place it happens. Correct terminology matters more at this grade than at any earlier one.
