This worksheet is designed for students to understand and distinguish between facts and opinions. It starts with a concise definition of the two, after which students classify six statements as either a fact or an opinion. The last task consists of three subjects for which students must articulate facts and opinions.

A fact is something true and can be proven with evidence, like "The Earth orbits around the Sun." Everyone agrees on facts because they are based on accurate information. An opinion is what someone thinks or feels, like "Ice cream is the best dessert." People can have different views because they are based on personal feelings or beliefs. To determine if a statement is a fact or an opinion, ask yourself if it can be proven true. If it can, it's a fact. If it's something that people might feel differently about, then it's an opinion.
