About this worksheet
A Year 3 science end of topic test on rocks, written for the England National Curriculum. Twenty-five questions sit in five sections. Pupils start with rock types and vocabulary, matching granite, chalk, slate and pumice to their descriptions. They then read a results table for four unnamed rocks tested with a fingernail, a copper coin and water. Later sections cover fossils, with Mary Anning and a five-step fossil sequence, and soils, with a soil layer match and a drainage table for sandy, clay and loam soil. The test ends with longer questions that compare chalk and granite for a statue. The answer key covers every part, with model answers for the longer questions.
