First Grade Science Bundle

Thank you for viewing my first grade science bundle! I created each unit to align with the new NGSS standards. Each unit is designed to be engaging and hands on for students, and accessible and with minimal prep for teachers. This First Grade Science Bundle that I have created aligns with Mystery Science First Grade (this product can also be used without pairing it with Mystery Science)

Standards Covered:

Light and Sound:
1-PS4-1:

Plan and conduct investigations to provide evidence that vibrating materials can make sound and that sound can make materials vibrate.

1-PS4-2:

Make observations to construct an evidence-based account that objects in darkness can be seen only when illuminated.

1-PS4-3:

Plan and conduct investigations to determine the effect of placing objects made with different materials in the path of a beam of light.

1-PS4-4:

Use tools and materials to design and build a device that uses light or sound to solve the problem of communicating over a distance.

Sun, Moon and Stars:

1-ESS1-1: Use observations of the sun, moon, and stars to describe patterns that can be predicted. [Clarification Statement: Examples of patterns could include that the sun and moon appear to rise in one part of the sky, move across the sky, and set; and stars other than our sun are visible at night but not during the day

1-ESS1-2: Make observations at different times of year to relate the amount of daylight to the time of year. [Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on relative comparisons of the amount of daylight in the winter to the amount in the spring or fall.]

Plants and Animals Structure and Survival:

1-LS1-1: Use materials to design a solution to a human problem be mimicking how plants and/or animals use their external parts to help them survive, grow, and meet their needs.

1-LS1-2: Read texts and use media to determine patterns in behavior of parents and offspring that help offspring survive.

1-LS3-1: Make observations to construct an evidence-based account that young plants and animals are like, but not exactly like, their parents.
