Science

In the 1st grade students begin to explore the amazing world of science by learning about balance and motion; pebbles, sand, and silt; organisms; and comparing and measuring. On this page you will find some general science links to support this journey. I will also make every effort to create pages with information regarding specific subject areas so make sure you check back often!

Websites that will support our journey into the wonderful world of 1st grade science! Discovery Kids -There are interactive activities, puzzles, and many opportunities for learning about science topics. National Geographic Kids- Great science videos, games, and fun facts.

Below you will find links to specific science pages that will support what we are learning in class during the school year. Please note the most recent science topic will be kept at the top of the list.

 * Balance and Motion**
 * a push or pull (force) is needed to change the motion of an object.
 * some forces (pushes and pulls) can be used to make things move without touching them.
 * balance is associated with position and weight.
 * we can describe the way objects move.
