The purpose of the Science program is to provide background knowledge in areas of life, Earth and physical science. Scientific concepts are presented along with problem solving through inquiry and exploration. In First Grade Science, students will learn the science curriculum in thematic units. At this age level, the students have more fluency with language, number sense, and inquiry skills. This allows them to describe patterns, observe different things through experiences, and investigate materials. They will study Life Science, Earth Science, and Human Science through hands on activities, labs, and projects.
