5th grade Science worksheets
These are the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) expectations for 5th grade science (typically ages 10–11). Edstronaut writes practice questions against them — around your child's own name, interests and the people in their life — and every answer sheet cites the standard it covers.

What 5th grade science covers
16 published expectations from Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). Every question Edstronaut writes cites one of these.
Grade 5
- 5-PS1-1Develop a model to describe that matter is made of particles too small to be seen.
- 5-PS1-2Measure and graph quantities to provide evidence that regardless of the type of change that occurs when heating, cooling, or mixing substances, the total weight of matter is conserved.
- 5-PS1-3Make observations and measurements to identify materials based on their properties.
- 5-PS1-4Conduct an investigation to determine whether the mixing of two or more substances results in new substances.
- 5-PS2-1Support an argument that the gravitational force exerted by Earth on objects is directed down.
- 5-PS3-1Use models to describe that energy in animals' food (used for body repair, growth, motion, and to maintain body warmth) was once energy from the sun.
- 5-LS1-1Support an argument that plants get the materials they need for growth chiefly from air and water.
- 5-LS2-1Develop a model to describe the movement of matter among plants, animals, decomposers, and the environment.
- 5-ESS1-1Support an argument that differences in the apparent brightness of the sun compared to other stars is due to their relative distances from Earth.
- 5-ESS1-2Represent data in graphical displays to reveal patterns of daily changes in length and direction of shadows, day and night, and the seasonal appearance of some stars in the night sky.
- 5-ESS2-1Develop a model using an example to describe ways the geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and/or atmosphere interact.
- 5-ESS2-2Describe and graph the amounts and percentages of water and fresh water in various reservoirs to provide evidence about the distribution of water on Earth.
- 5-ESS3-1Obtain and combine information about ways individual communities use science ideas to protect the Earth's resources and environment.
- 3-5-ETS1-1Define a simple design problem reflecting a need or a want that includes specified criteria for success and constraints on materials, time, or cost.
- 3-5-ETS1-2Generate and compare multiple possible solutions to a problem based on how well each is likely to meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.
- 3-5-ETS1-3Plan and carry out fair tests in which variables are controlled and failure points are considered to identify aspects of a model or prototype that can be improved.
