Three Levels of Government

About this worksheet:.

Week 34 Reading Comprehension (C-34). A reading passage and questions about the three different levels of government. Cross-Curricular Focus: History / Social Sciences. This worksheet is in line with Common Core Standards for 3rd grade Key Ideas and Details, but may also be used for other grades. The passage’s Lexile Level is 680.

U.S. Government

The U.S. government is divided into three branches: the legislative, executive, and judicial branches. Each branch has its own responsibilities and powers, and they work together to ensure a system of checks and balances.

Legislative Branch

The legislative branch is responsible for making laws. It is made up of the Congress, which consists of the Senate and the House of Representatives. Members of Congress are elected by the people to represent their interests.

Executive Branch

The executive branch is headed by the President of the United States. This branch is responsible for enforcing the laws created by the legislative branch. The President is also the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces and has the power to veto bills passed by Congress.

Judicial Branch

The judicial branch is responsible for interpreting the laws and ensuring that they are applied fairly. It is headed by the Supreme Court, which is the highest court in the country. The justices of the Supreme Court are appointed by the President and serve for life.

Checks and Balances

The system of checks and balances ensures that no single branch of government becomes too powerful. For example, the President can veto bills passed by Congress, but Congress can override the veto with a two-thirds majority vote. The Supreme Court can declare laws unconstitutional, but its justices are appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate.

• Tags : Teaching grades pre k to 5

Identify the three branches of State and National government SS03-S03-C02-01

• Book: The U.S. Constitution and You by Syl Sobel (If the book is unavailable use a similar book or one of the websites listed in the resources below.)
• Worksheet: Downloadable worksheet, one for each student
• Light colored construction paper or unlined white paper for each student
• Rulers (optional)

Procedure Day One:

Each student should have a piece of paper and a pencil. (Rulers optional) Their desks should be positioned facing the teacher as information is presented. Papers should be placed in the horizontal “landscape” position. Students will add to the paper as the teacher provides information from the book or other source.

On the top line write Constitution . The Constitution contains rules for how the government must work. It created three separate parts or branches of the government each with different duties.

On the left horizontal line write Legislative . Under the line write key words such as: Congress (federal and state), Senators, Representatives, makes laws, imposes taxes. Federal: creates military, can declare war.

On the middle line write Executive . The key words could be: President, vice president, Governor (state), Cabinet, carries out laws.

On the last line write Judicial . Key words could be Supreme Court (federal and state), judges, justices, settles disputes, interprets laws.

Procedure Day Two:

Allow ten minutes to review the students’ papers from the prior lesson. Then play a review game called Human Tic-Tac-Toe based on the game Tic-Tac-Toe. Provide two colors of construction paper, one color for each team and six pieces per team.

• Divide students into two teams. One team on each side of the playing area. You may choose to have them sit on the floor, chairs or at their desks.
• Have an open space in the center between the two teams where students will imagine that there is a tic-tac-toe board.
• Ask a question to the first player of one team (based on the information learned in the prior lesson.) If correct that person takes one of their team’s colored papers and sits in a position on the tic-tac-toe board.
• Continue with another question to the opposing team.
• A team wins when they have three of their colored papers in a row across, up and down or diagonally. Tic-tac-toe!!
