Paid-members only Grade 1 Science Units Unit Plan 11 (Grade 1 Science): Plant Parts & Survival Grade 1 science unit explores plant parts and their jobs, then challenges students to design and test solutions that mimic roots, stems, or leaves.
Paid-members only Grade 1 Science Units Unit Plan 10 (Grade 1 Science): Animal Body Parts Grade 1 science unit explores how animal external body parts help survival, then challenges students to design and test human solutions that mimic those structures.
Paid-members only Grade 1 Science Units Unit Plan 9 (Grade 1 Science): Sound & Light — Quarter Synthesis Grade 1 science synthesis unit connecting sound and light as students explain vibrations, illumination, shadows, materials, and design tools.
Paid-members only Grade 1 Science Units Unit Plan 8 (Grade 1 Science): Engineering Light or Sound Devices Grade 1 engineering unit where students design and test light or sound devices to solve communication problems and compare strengths and weaknesses.
Paid-members only Grade 1 Science Units Unit Plan 7 (Grade 1 Science): Materials That Change Light Grade 1 science unit investigates how transparent, translucent, opaque, and reflective materials affect a beam of light through hands-on investigations.
Paid-members only Grade 1 Science Units Unit Plan 6 (Grade 1 Science): Light Sources & Shadows Grade 1 science unit explores light sources, illumination, and shadows as students investigate how light direction affects visibility using evidence.
Paid-members only Grade 1 Science Units Unit Plan 5 (Grade 1 Science): Light & Seeing Grade 1 science unit explores how light allows us to see objects, using flashlights, shadows, and evidence to show objects are visible only when illuminated.
