Energy and Resources Vocabulary Worksheets for 5th Grade

What your child practices

This 5th grade vocabulary set (Grade 5 in Canada) teaches the Energy and Resources word list through 4 worksheets and 32 questions. Vocabulary is one of the strongest predictors of reading success in upper elementary, and topic word lists help children understand what they read in science and social studies. The sheets cover Match the Meaning, Fill in the Sentence, Synonyms and Antonyms and Which Word Fits. Each sheet supports Common Core L.5.4, covering working out the meaning of unknown words. It also touches L.5.6, learning and using new grade level words. 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 for a synonym and an antonym for each new word to deepen understanding.
• Point out list words when you see them in books, signs or the news.
• Ask your child to draw a quick picture for each hard word. Pictures make meanings stick.
