Weathering & Erosion Quiz

This worksheet is designed for students in Grades 4, 5, and 6 to assess understanding of key Earth science concepts through a focused multiple-choice quiz. Learners answer five questions that require them to distinguish between weathering, erosion, and deposition, identify examples of chemical weathering, recognize landforms created by glaciers, and determine how sediment is deposited. The quiz format supports careful reading, vocabulary accuracy, and conceptual clarity while reinforcing test-taking skills.

Skills Reinforced

• Weathering, Erosion & Deposition (Grades 4-6) – Students demonstrate understanding of how Earth materials break down, move, and settle.
• Agents of Geological Change – Learners identify forces such as glaciers, water, and chemicals that shape landforms.
• Landform Formation – Reinforces how erosion and deposition contribute to Earth’s surface features.
• Scientific Reading & Evaluation – Encourages close reading of questions and thoughtful selection of correct answers.

Instructional Benefits

• Teacher-Created Assessment – Designed by educators to align with upper-elementary Earth science standards.
• Quiz-Style Format – Ideal for review, formative assessment, exit tickets, or unit checkpoints.
• Clear, Focused Questions – Targets essential concepts without unnecessary complexity.
• Low-Prep & Printable – Ready to use for classroom instruction or homeschool assessment.

This printable Earth science quiz helps students solidify understanding of how weathering, erosion, and deposition shape Earth’s surface over time. By practicing multiple-choice reasoning and reviewing core vocabulary and concepts, learners build confidence, accuracy, and readiness for larger assessments. Suitable for classroom or homeschool use, this worksheet offers an efficient and effective way to check comprehension and reinforce key geological processes.
