What I Know About Geology
In this worksheet, students complete a few general geology question after having watched the presentation ‘Geology Refresher’. This should allow teachers to assess the student’s prior knowledge on some key components of earth and space science, before extending what they know into the Year 5 content.
This worksheet was created as part of a larger Year 5 Earth and Space Sciences unit on Weathering and Erosion titled ‘Surface Change’.
