3rd Grade Living Things Worksheets

Ages 8-9 · 13 sub-topics · Free previews · Print-ready PDFs

Living things are plants and animals, and these living things worksheets for 3rd grade explain how they survive, grow and pass on traits. Most pages pair an original passage with a chart, a flow chart, a sort or a labeled diagram and questions: how a camel, a woodpecker or a giant anteater is built for its home (NGSS 3-LS4-3), how a stick insect and a flounder hide, how meerkats, zebras, Canada geese and elephants live in groups (3-LS2-1), how a salmon, a dragonfly and a mosquito grow (3-LS1-1), and how grove snail and giant tortoise shells show traits that help some animals survive (3-LS4-2). Other pages sort mammal and bird traits, explain why a whale is a mammal, and show that a flamingo's pink color comes from its food (3-LS3-1, 3-LS3-2). The topic also has plant part, plant life cycle and fossil pages. There are 90 sheets, each with an answer key.
