About this resource
Description
Learning about the fifty states starts with knowing what makes each one different, and Hawaii is the easiest state of all to tell apart. This Hawaii Worksheet introduces third graders to the only state built entirely of islands, sitting far out in the Pacific Ocean. Students read a short non-fiction passage about how the islands formed, when Hawaii became the fiftieth state, where the capital city sits, and which bird and flower the state chose to stand for itself. Every answer on the page comes from the text, so children practice reading for information instead of guessing.
The sheet opens with an illustrated passage, then moves to four multiple-choice questions and a written response. Use this 3rd grade states worksheet to launch a state-by-state unit, to review before a social studies quiz, as a literacy-center task, or as homework. Read the passage together first, then have students underline the sentence that answers each question before they fill in a bubble. The included answer key makes checking fast whether one child or a whole class is working through it.
What’s Included
- 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
- Answer key
- 1 original non-fiction passage about Hawaii with a full-color illustration
- 4 multiple-choice questions and 1 written response
Three things make this Hawaii Worksheet work in a real classroom. First, it supplies its own text, so a student who has no atlas, no library book and no internet access can still answer every question correctly. Second, the questions climb: two ask for facts stated plainly in the passage, one asks students to compare Hawaii with the other states, and one asks them to figure out why goods have to arrive by boat and plane. Third, the written response asks children to gather two separate details and put them together in their own words, which is exactly the kind of short constructed answer third-grade tests use.
Away from the page, keep the learning going. Pull up a map and measure how far Hawaii sits from the mainland, then compare that distance with a drive your family has taken. Look up photographs of the nene and the yellow hibiscus and talk about why island animals and plants become rare. Have students design a travel poster for the Aloha State using facts from the passage. Older classes can build a class chart of state nicknames, birds and flowers and add a new state to it each week.
