5th-7th Grade Science Quiz & Review Cheat Sheet
- Difference between weather and climate - Weather is the mood of the atmosphere, changing hourly or daily. Climate is the long-term personality you get after months or years of weather patterns. Like a rainy day is weather, while a city famous for downpours has a rainy climate. Explore more worksheets
- Order of the planets in the solar system - Our solar system is a planetary party featuring eight planets dancing around the Sun. Remember their order with the mnemonic "My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nachos." Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune - boom, you nailed it! Explore more worksheets
- Basic parts of plant and animal cells - Cells are tiny factories running your body and plants. Both plant and animal cells have a nucleus, cytoplasm, and membrane, but plant cells brag with an extra cell wall and chloroplasts for photosynthesis. Visual diagrams are like blueprints that make remembering these parts a breeze. Explore more worksheets
- Stages of the water cycle - The water cycle is nature's ultimate recycling program: evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection. Water climbs up as vapor from lakes, forms clouds, then showers back down as rain, sleet, or snow before collecting again. Next time you watch a puddle dry, remember - it's all part of this epic Earth loop! Explore more worksheets
- Three types of rocks - Rocks come in three flavors: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Igneous rocks hatch from hot lava-cooling parties, sedimentary rocks build by stacking sediments like layer cakes, and metamorphic rocks transform under heat and pressure like rock dragons. Dig deeper and you'll unearth minerals and gems that tell Earth's history. Explore more worksheets
- Ecosystems and food chains - Ecosystems are communities where producers, consumers, and decomposers join forces in a food chain. Producers like plants whip up energy from sunlight, consumers feast on plants or each other, and decomposers break down leftovers into nutrients. It's nature's circle of life - thrilling, right?

- States of matter - Everything you touch is solid, liquid, or gas in action. Solids hold their shape, liquids flow to fill containers, gases zoom around freely, and they can switch states through melting, freezing, condensing, and evaporating. Ice cubes melting on a hot day are proof you're witnessing science live! Explore more worksheets
- Earth's layers - Beneath your feet lie four layers: the crust where we live, the semi-solid mantle, and the fiery liquid outer core plus the solid inner core. It's like an onion but way hotter and under insane pressure. These layers shape earthquakes, volcanoes, and even Earth's magnetic field. Explore more worksheets
- Human body's major systems - Your body runs on teamwork from its major systems: circulatory, respiratory, digestive, nervous, and skeletal. The circulatory system pumps life via blood, the respiratory brings in oxygen, the digestive breaks down snacks, the nervous sends signals, and the skeleton holds you upright. Each system is a superhero in keeping you alive and powered! Explore more worksheets
- Basics of force and motion - Forces such as gravity and friction are the backstage crew making objects move or stop. Newton's Laws of Motion explain why your skateboard rolls until a wall (or your foot) says "no more" or why you stay still until someone gives you a push. Understanding these laws is like having the cheat codes for physics. Explore more worksheets
