Strengthen Science Inquiry Skills With Variables and Constants Worksheets

Help students move beyond simply doing experiments to truly understanding how experiments are designed. This set of upper primary school Variables and Constants worksheets guides students through analyzing experiment scenarios, identifying variables, and thinking critically about what makes an investigation fair, repeatable, and safe.

Perfect for years 5-6, our Variables and Constants worksheets support students as they develop the basic skills needed for scientific exploration and experimental design.

Analyse Experiments to Identify Variables & Constants

On each of these worksheets, students are presented with clear, age-appropriate experiment scenarios and asked to:

• Find the independent variable (what is changed)
• Find the dependent variable (what is measured)
• Find constants that must stay the same for a fair test
• Suggest ways to make an experiment repeatable so results can be tested again
• Identify potential safety concerns within an experiment

By working through these worksheets, students will improve their use of scientific vocabulary while developing an understanding of how controlled science investigations work.
