Throughout the school year we will attempt to cover the following units in 1st Grade Science. I will do my best to provide links with exciting information and activities that will allow your child to expand their knowledge throughout that specific unit. I apologize now for any links that may have irritating advertising. Like science, this site may change quite often. Keep looking for new updates.
