About 1st grade science resources
On TPT (Teachers Pay Teachers), 1st Grade Science Resources can support young learners as they explore topics like plants, animals, weather, matter, and the needs of living things. These teacher-created materials are often designed to match early science instruction with simple directions and age-appropriate activities. They help first graders build vocabulary, observe closely, and talk about what they notice. For many classrooms, that kind of focused practice makes science feel hands-on and approachable.
Teachers can find lesson plans, task cards, science notebooks, worksheets, assessments, anchor charts, and experiment-based activities in these collections. Many resources include sorting pages, labeling tasks, or recording sheets that help students process new ideas in a clear way. That variety matters because first graders need both practice and repetition without losing engagement. Answer keys and prep-ready pages can also make it easier to plan quick lessons or extend a science block.
In the classroom, a teacher might pull a ready-made set during a unit on weather or seasonal changes and use it for centers, small-group review, or morning work. Instead of building every page from scratch, they can print a few activities and have students start right away. This saves time while still giving children meaningful practice with observation, vocabulary, and basic science concepts. It is especially helpful on busy weeks when the goal is to keep learning steady and organized.
TPT is the largest marketplace for PreK-12 resources, powered by a community of educators.
