Science 1

Science 1 extends students’ exploration of the natural world. Along the way, they practice making predictions and observations, experimenting, and using scientific tools and problem-solving skills. In this course, students investigate animals and plants, identify the basic needs of all living things, and compare and contrast plant and animal families. They examine how humans solve problems by mimicking plant and animal structures and functions. This course also introduces patterns of the sun, the moon, stars, and Earth that can be predicted. Students observe and discover the properties of light and sound and learn ways to communicate with light and sound. Finally, students develop their ability to distinguish problem from solution and recognize the relationship between cause and effect. This course includes a printed Parent and Teacher Guide that will help you support your student’s learning.
