In this worksheet, the contrast between facts and opinions is thoroughly explored. To begin, students will read and categorize 14 sentences as either facts or opinions. Thereafter, their understanding is further tested in an exercise where they are asked to read a selection of paragraphs and underline all the facts while circling the opinions.

Facts are things that can be proven to be true, like "The Earth orbits the Sun" or "Water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius." These are statements that everyone agrees on because we have evidence to support them. Opinions, on the other hand, are what someone thinks or feels about something, and different people can have different opinions. For example, "Pizza is the best food" is an opinion because it's what someone believes, but others might disagree.
