Earth & Space

Earth & Space in IB PYP Grade 3 Science

Earth & Space is part of IB PYP Grade 3 Science. At this growing stage (ages 8–9), learners work on investigating the Earth and solar system, understanding Earth's structure and systems and analysing geological and astronomical processes.

PYP learning is inquiry-based: children explore ideas through questions, play and real-life examples, so worksheets and games here are designed to be short, clear and encouraging.

What learners practise

Investigating the Earth and solar system
Understanding Earth's structure and systems
Analysing geological and astronomical processes

For students

Work through the worksheets and interactive activities at your own pace. Check your answers, then redo anything that felt tricky and explain each answer in your own words.

For parents

Sit with your child for the first few questions and ask “how do you know?”. Praise effort and keep sessions short.

For teachers

Use earth & space activities as a starter, homework or retrieval practice, and mix free and premium resources to differentiate.

Study tip

Link every fact to an everyday example. Ideas you can connect to real life are much easier to remember and apply.

Quick answers

Who is the Earth & Space page for?

It is for IB PYP Grade 3 Science learners, typically aged 8–9, and for the parents and teachers who support them.

Are earth & space resources free?

Many are. Each resource shows a clear Free or price label, so you can start with the free ones and add premium resources when you need more practice.

How should I use these resources?

Pick one resource, complete it without help first, then check and correct. Repeating this little and often is more effective than one long session.
