Did you Know... 1st Grade

Welcome to the exciting world of first grade science! In first grade, students will begin to explore basic scientific concepts and develop their curiosity about the world around them. Here are some key topics that first graders will learn about:

Plants and Animals

First graders will learn about the life cycles of plants and animals. They will explore how plants grow from seeds, the different parts of a plant, and the role of flowers in the plant life cycle. They will also learn about the life cycles of animals, including the stages of development from birth to adulthood.

Weather and Seasons

Students will study the different types of weather and the four seasons. They will learn to identify different types of weather, such as sunny, rainy, windy, and snowy, and understand how the weather can change throughout the year. They will also explore the characteristics of each season and the changes that occur in nature during each season.

Magnets and Motion

First graders will be introduced to the concept of magnets and how they attract or repel certain materials. They will also learn about motion and how objects move, including concepts such as push, pull, and the effects of friction.
