Sun Power in Food Worksheets for 4th and 5th Grade

What your child practices

Curious about Sun Power in Food? These 6 worksheets give 4th and 5th grade students (Grades 4 to 5 in Canada) 58 questions to think through. In grades 3 to 5, science asks children to explain why things happen, not only what happens, and Sun Power in Food 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 5-PS3-1, which focuses on energy and how it moves. It also touches 5-LS1-1, how living things are built, grow and survive. In Canada it matches the BC curriculum for Grade 3. Answer keys sit on page 2 of each PDF, so checking takes seconds. 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.
• Look up one extra fact about Sun Power in Food together and add it to the sheet.
• Keep a small science notebook for drawings and questions that come up.
