About this resource

What's inside this resource

Teaching science to our elementary students opens them up to a whole new world of interests, but with a whole new take! They get to learn about the weather and its changes. They get to learn about animals and their offspring. They get to learn about natural wonders, such as volcanoes! There are so many engaging things for students to learn during science.

What You Get:

This is a Materials For a Purpose Worksheet that can be completed by elementary students in 3rd – 5th grade.

How To Implement This Resource:

You can print off enough copies of this worksheet for each student to have. You may also choose to print only a few copies and laminate those. If you choose to laminate them, students can use dry erase markers to write answers. This is a great way to turn this into a science center or small group activity.

This is a 4-page printable in which students will focus on labeling an image of a bicycle and an image of a roller-skate. The bicycle and roller-skate are on two separate pages. For each image, students will label them with different materials that they think these things are built from. There are also 2 tables included for students to list the parts, materials, and purpose of the items labeled.

I hope you enjoy!
