Grade 1 Science Weeks 19–20: Student Textbook
Five lessons each week. Read, ask questions, observe safely, record evidence, and explain what you learned. Ask an adult before any experiment.
Week 19: Sunlight and warming
Read: Sunlight can warm a rock, a sidewalk, and soil. A shaded place may feel cooler than a sunny place. We can compare temperatures safely without touching hot surfaces.
Day 91: Read and ask
Task: Answer the question using the passage: Which location may be warmer, a sunny rock or a shaded rock?
Day 92: Model and label
Task: Draw and label two facts from the reading. Write a sentence explaining each.
Day 93: Predict
Task: Predict what you might observe if you explore this topic. Explain your prediction.
Day 94: Observe
Task: Safe observation or model: Compare two safe surfaces by observation with an adult. Do not touch hot pavement. Record what actually happened.
Day 95: Explain
Task: Without copying the reading, answer: Which location may be warmer, a sunny rock or a shaded rock? Explain one piece of evidence.
Week 20: Patterns of day and night
Read: Earth rotates, making the Sun appear to move across the sky. Daylight and darkness repeat in a predictable pattern. We can observe shadows at different times.
Day 96: Read and ask
Task: Answer the question using the passage: Why do we have a repeating day and night pattern?
Day 97: Model and label
Task: Draw and label two facts from the reading. Write a sentence explaining each.
Day 98: Predict
Task: Predict what you might observe if you explore this topic. Explain your prediction.
Day 99: Observe
Task: Safe observation or model: Make drawings of a safe outdoor scene in morning and afternoon. Record what actually happened.
Day 100: Explain
Task: Without copying the reading, answer: Why do we have a repeating day and night pattern? Explain one piece of evidence.
