About these 1st grade science worksheets
These 1st grade science worksheets follow the NGSS first grade standards: sound made by vibrations, light passing through or being blocked by materials, the parts of a plant and their jobs, how young animals resemble their parents, and patterns in the day and night sky.
Each sheet prints its NGSS code and pairs a page task with something a six-year-old can test — tapping a drum, shining a torch through a jar, or looking at the Moon tonight.
