This resource is a collection of activities to create learning experiences in Earth and Space Science for 5th Grade. These activities have been designed to meet the Academic Standards and Curriculum Guidelines for Teachers. The activities can be used by classroom teachers, homeschooling parents, or other educators interested in developing effective learning activities.

This Bundle of Earth and Space Science includes a wide variety of options to engage your students throughout the course of the year. Resources include multiple choice, labeling, matching, drawing, and more. These activities may be used individually or in groups, allowing for differentiation by skill level and possible response formats.

Get your Earth and Space Science Bundle activities, which include engaging activities and answer keys for each activity. See how well students perform or give teachers the opportunity to evaluate their answers or group projects’ work.

All Science Activities include an answer key that is available as PDF and Google Slides. The answer key is a valuable resource to use in the classroom, or at home, as they help students learn how to explain their answers, check if their explanations are correct, and improve their scientific knowledge and thinking skills.

The Activities featured in this resource are aligned with Next Generation Science Standards:

• SC.5.E.5.3 Distinguish among the following objects of the Solar System -- Sun, planets, moons, asteroids, comets -- and identify Earth's position in it.
• SC.5.E.7.1 Create a model to explain the parts of the water cycle. Water can be a gas, a liquid, or a solid and can go back and forth from one state to another.
• SC.5.E.7.2 Recognize that the ocean is an integral part of the water cycle and is connected to all of Earth's water reservoirs via evaporation and precipitation processes.
• SC.5.E.7.3 Recognize how air temperature, barometric pressure, humidity, wind speed and direction, and precipitation determine the weather in a particular place and time.
• SC.5.E.7.4 Distinguish among the various forms of precipitation (rain, snow, sleet, and hail), making connections to the weather in a particular place and time.
• SC.5.E.7.5 Recognize that some of the weather-related differences, such as temperature and humidity, are found among different environments, such as swamps, deserts, and mountains.
• SC.5.E.7.6 Describe characteristics (temperature and precipitation) of different climate zones as they relate to latitude, elevation, and proximity to bodies of water.
• SC.5.E.7.7 Design a family preparedness plan for natural disasters and identify the reasons for having such a plan.
