Earth Science is packed with big ideas — from the layers beneath our feet to the atmosphere above us. That’s why we created the Earth Study Pack — a complete 122-page printable unit study with activities, worksheets, and games to explore our planet. Perfect for grades 3–6 in the classroom or at home.
What’s Inside the Earth Study Pack?
This comprehensive Earth Science unit covers the major systems of our planet in an interactive way. Plus, you’ll find a variety of additional projects to add to this fantastic earth science resource pack.
Earth’s Structure
Learn about the crust, mantle, and core with labeling pages, diagrams, and activities. Explore plate tectonics, volcanoes, and earthquakes.
Earth’s Atmosphere
Study the layers of the atmosphere, air pressure, and wind. Includes printable cards and games for easy practice.
Water on Earth
Discover where Earth’s water is stored, the importance of groundwater, and how the water cycle moves water through the environment.
Earth’s Biomes
Explore deserts, rainforests, tundra, oceans, grasslands, and forests. Match plants and animals to their correct biome with printable sorting cards.
Earth’s Movement
Learn how Earth’s rotation and revolution create day and night, seasons, and climate zones.
Earth’s Resources
Compare renewable and nonrenewable resources. Discuss conservation, sustainability, and protecting natural resources.
