This resource turns modeling the rock cycle into a complete, ready to use review for Grade 5 science, covering the same idea from three different angles.

Among the ninety questions, students will see prompts such as "What can cause rocks to break down into smaller pieces?", "What is the main component of sedimentary rock?", and "Which type of rock can form directly from volcanic activity?"

What's Inside?

• 30 Multiple Choice questions as a separate print ready PDF worksheet
• 30 True or False questions as a separate print ready PDF worksheet
• 30 Short Answer questions as a separate print ready PDF worksheet
• Includes Answer Key with Explanations for all 90 questions
• 6 print ready PDF files, 26 pages in total

All three worksheets cover the same topic in different question styles. That means you can use one as a pretest, another for practice or homework, and the third as a follow up quiz, without students ever seeing the same question twice.

This set is part of a standards aligned science unit. The unit also covers Earth’s Internal Energy and Movement, Plate Tectonics and Crust Motion, Comparing Plate Movements, Rock Transformation Pathways, Weathering as Surface Change, and Erosion and Deposition Processes, all in the same three worksheet format, so your classroom routine stays familiar while the topic changes.

Suitable for Grade 5 science classes, and for review at any point in the school year. This set is aligned to Virginia SOL standard 5.8.c.
