3rd Grade STEM Careers Meet a Geologist

3rd Grade STEM Careers Meet a Geologist Worksheet (STEM in the Real World, TEKS 3.4B)

Students meet a geologist, a scientist who studies rocks and soil. They read a short job card, circle what a geologist studies, uses, and helps with, then decide which jobs a geologist would do. Simple black and white doodles and big, easy to read text keep it quick and fun.

What's Inside

• A job card for a geologist with a rock doodle
• Part A: circle what the scientist or engineer studies, uses, and helps with
• Part B: write Y or N for jobs this person would do, with one done
• A friendly squirrel guide and an I can goal
• A visual answer key with answers marked in red, plus a short teacher note and an extend idea

How Teachers Use It

Use it with a science lesson, a STEM day, a career week, or a science center. It takes 6 to 8 minutes and prints clearly in black and white. Each STEM in the Real World sheet introduces one career with a simple job card: what they do, the problem they work on, the tools they use, and how the work helps people.

Why It Works

Students only number, circle, or write Y or N, so they can finish on their own. Every part has a done for you example. Wrong choices are believable, not silly, so students have to think. Pair it with the other STEM in the Real World sheets to build a full set on how science and STEM careers shape our world.
