Fixing Errors

This misconception-correction worksheet supports students in Grades 5, 6, and 7 as they review and clarify key concepts related to global time systems. Students read statements about Earth’s rotation, UTC, the International Date Line, and Daylight Saving Time, then determine whether each statement is true or false. By rewriting incorrect statements accurately, learners practice careful reading, scientific reasoning, editing skills, and conceptual understanding while strengthening accuracy in geography and earth science topics.
