Think Like a Scientist Worksheets for 3rd to 5th Grade

What your child practices

This 3rd to 5th grade science set (Grades 3 to 5 in Canada) explores Think Like a Scientist through 6 worksheets and 58 questions. In grades 3 to 5, science asks children to explain why things happen, not only what happens, and Think Like a Scientist is a great place to practice that kind of thinking. It opens with a guided Learn and Practice page, moves on to a practice sheet and a review test, then finishes with two quick quizzes and a mixed review. It is aligned to NGSS 3-5-ETS1-3. In Canada it matches the BC curriculum for Grade 4. Every PDF prints on US letter paper, with the answer key on page 2 for quick checking. After printing, the online version gives instant feedback and reads each question aloud.

Tips for parents

• Ask your child to explain the idea using a diagram or a quick sketch.
