About this worksheet

A map can show all four of Earth's systems at once. The geosphere is the solid Earth: mountains, canyons, hills and dunes. The hydrosphere is the water: lakes, rivers, ponds and glaciers. The atmosphere is the air and the winds. The biosphere is the living world: forests, woods, meadows and parks.

On this fifth grade sheet a child reads a map with six named places and circles the Earth system each place belongs to. Each version has a different map, and the answer key gives every answer.

What your child will learn

NGSS standard: 5-ESS2-2

Worked example

Granite Ridge is a mountain of rock, so it is part of the geosphere. Blue Lake is water, so it is part of the hydrosphere. Pine Forest is full of living things, so it is part of the biosphere.
