1st Grade Science Lesson Plans
9 plans covering the science topics 1st grade actually teaches. Each one is a full lesson: objective, timed steps, a check for understanding, and the practice pages to hand out.
What science looks like in 1st grade
First grade science introduces patterns: what plants need, how animals differ, how light and sound behave, and how to record what you observed.
First grade converts recognition into fluency. Children who could identify letters now decode, and children who could count now add. Expect a wide spread in one room.
