Identify physical changes — free printable Grade 5 Science worksheet

Teachers can use it during a Changes in Matter unit to help students apply precise scientific language and classify changes accurately based on observable evidence. The task works well as a pre-lab discussion tool or a post-instruction formative check.

Learning objectives

  • Identify physical changes in matter and describe their observable characteristics
  • Distinguish physical changes from chemical changes based on evidence
