Fact Detective Review

This worksheet invites students to examine ten statements and determine whether each is fact or fiction. Learners must apply logic, prior knowledge, and reasoning strategies to identify truth from common misconceptions. Each statement is followed by space for students to write a brief explanation justifying their decision, encouraging them to support their conclusions with evidence or clear reasoning. By evaluating claims about science, geography, history, and general knowledge, students practice critical thinking in a cross-disciplinary context. The table format reinforces organization and clarity as students document their conclusions. This activity strengthens fact-checking habits and encourages inquiry-based thinking.
