First Grade Science Activities
First grade is a year of firsts: your child's first full day of school, the first time she'll write a small story herself, and the first time she'll read a complete book cover to cover. We've got dozens of wacky reading and math activities, cool science experiments, and indoor and outdoor games to keep the learning fun.
Explore Color Science with Grape Juice
This activity will allow your child to experiment in the kitchen and expand her science knowledge, and create some magic (or science) as she makes liquids change color before her very eyes.
Explore States of Matter with Dancing Raisins
First grade science frequently includes a unit on solids, liquids, and gases. Try this silly science experiment to learn serious information about the difference between all three.
