Grade 2 Science Worksheet
We are given a word bank:
- salty
- fresh
- solid
- lakes
- oceans
- liquid
- cannot
Now, let’s fill in the blanks using the correct words from the list.
---

→ The largest bodies of water on Earth are the
oceans.
✔ Answer: oceans
---
2. They are huge bodies of ________ water.
→ Oceans contain
salty water.
✔ Answer: salty
---
3. We ________ use them for drinking.
→ We
cannot drink ocean water because it is too salty.
✔ Answer: cannot
---
4. Very little of the water on earth is ________ water.
→ Only about 3% of Earth's water is
fresh water.
✔ Answer: fresh
---
5. Rivers and lakes are ________ fresh water.
→ Rivers and lakes contain
liquid fresh water.
✔ Answer: liquid

---
Final Answer:
Most of Earth’s water is found in the _oceans_.
They are huge bodies of _salty_ water.
We _cannot_ use them for drinking.
Very little of the water on earth is _fresh_ water.

Explanation:
This worksheet teaches children about the distribution of water on Earth:
- Most water is in the
oceans (saltwater).
-
Fresh water is rare and mostly stored as
ice (solid) in glaciers and icebergs.
-
Lakes and rivers contain
liquid fresh water, which humans can use for drinking and other needs.
The visuals at the bottom show:
- A river/lake with trees (fresh water),
- A house near a lake (possibly showing human use),
- A pond with frogs (another freshwater body).
These reinforce the concept of where fresh water is found.
✔ All answers are based on basic science facts appropriate for Grade 2.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of importance of water worksheet.
