Government Services: Whose Problem Is It?

Determine which level of government is responsible for solving problems in the community! In this worksheet, students will read about the various responsibilities of the local, state, and federal governments. Then, they’ll decide which of the three should solve each of three different problems, explaining the reasoning behind their choice. 

This worksheet is a great option for fourth and fifth graders learning about the differences between the different levels of government. As they explain which level of government should solve each problem, learners can solidify their understanding of the levels of government, the services they provide, and the things they do in their communities.
