Looking for a way to introduce your students to third grade science standards? Or want a fun review? These secret code worksheets may be just what you are looking for!

For each worksheet, students must crack the code to decipher a science fact. These facts line up with 3rd grade science standards. Here are a few examples:

• "Animals and plants inherit traits from their parents."
• "Data from fossils show how animals lived long ago."
• "Magnets exert forces on each other and some metals."

These serve as a simple summary of Next Generation Science Standards that students are learning in third grade. These worksheets are great for summarizing or reviewing the main points of a hands-on project or discovery learning activity. They can also help solidify what the student learned from reading longer passages or books.

These can also be used as a quick (and fun!) way of reviewing science right before standardized testing.

There are ten worksheets in all. Answer keys are included. Grade levels are not written on the worksheets themselves, so they can be used as review for any students in any grade.
