About this worksheet
3rd Grade Floods, Droughts, and Organisms Worksheet
The same drought can help one organism and harm another. In this worksheet students learn three key words from the standard: thrive (do well), perish (die), and move (relocate). A cactus stores water and thrives, fish in a drying pond may perish, and ducks fly to a bigger lake. Students sort each example, then choose the reason that explains the result.
