About this resource
Description
Nebraska sits in the middle of the country on the Great Plains, and it is full of fun facts for young learners. This Nebraska worksheet helps 3rd grade students read a short nonfiction passage about the state and answer questions using details from the text.
Students read about the states that border Nebraska, the year it joined the country, the Platte River and the Oregon Trail, Chimney Rock, the grassy Sandhills, the capital city of Lincoln, farming and ranching, and the beginning of Arbor Day. Then they answer four multiple-choice questions, including one that asks what the word landmark means, and write a short response that explains why pioneer families looked for Chimney Rock. A bright painting of the Sandhills sits above the passage.
What’s Included
- A nonfiction reading passage about Nebraska with a full-color picture
- A questions page with four multiple-choice questions and one short written response
- An answer key page with every answer and a model written response
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
- Reading facts about a real state builds geography knowledge and social studies vocabulary.
- Finding the meaning of a word from the passage practices an important reading skill.
- Using two details in a written answer teaches students to support their ideas with the text.
Teacher and Parent Ideas
Before reading, find Nebraska on a United States map and name the six states around it. After the worksheet, have students trace the Platte River and the Oregon Trail, or draw their own landmark that would help a traveler find the way. This 3rd grade states worksheet fits well in a states unit, a geography center, or as homework. Students can also compare the Nebraska worksheet facts with facts about their own state and share one thing that surprised them.
