Science
Free printable science worksheets for kids — put the planets in solar-system order or sequence the butterfly life cycle, then check with the answer key. Print on A4 or save as PDF.
Science that starts with put-it-in-order
Before facts come sequences: the planets circle the Sun in an order worth knowing by heart, and a butterfly turns from egg to caterpillar to chrysalis to wings. These sheets scramble the pictures and hand the order back to the child — a gentle first science worksheet that feels like a puzzle, with the answer key on the next page for self-checking.
Pairs well with the counting worksheets for younger scientists and the coloring pages for after — every planet and butterfly here is a ready-made coloring target too.
FAQ
What do children do on these science worksheets?
Each sheet shows a set of science pictures in scrambled order — the eight planets, or the four stages of a butterfly's life. Children write 1, 2, 3… under each picture to put them back in the right order, using the word bank at the top of the sheet.
What ages are these for?
The butterfly life cycle suits ages 4–7 (preschool through grade 1–2), and the solar system ordering suits ages 6–10. Older kids can race: who can order all eight planets from memory before checking the answer key?
Are the planet pictures to scale?
The planets are drawn in their relative size order and characteristic colors — Jupiter biggest with its cloud bands, Saturn with rings — but not to true scale. Real scale would make Earth invisible next to Jupiter; the point here is the order.
How do I print a worksheet or get a PDF?
Press "Download PDF" above the sheet to save a ready-to-print A4 file, or press "Print" to open your browser's print dialog and print it right away. Turning off the browser's "Headers and footers" option gives you the cleanest page.

Yes — every worksheet on ClassCaddy is free for personal and classroom use: homework, math stations, morning work, tutoring, homeschool. You can print as many copies as you need. The only thing you can't do is sell the sheets or republish them as your own.
