Grade 1 Science Weeks 21–22: 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 21: Materials and properties
Read: Wood, metal, cloth, and plastic can have different properties. A metal spoon is often hard and smooth. A cloth towel is soft and flexible.
Day 101: Read and ask
Task: Answer the question using the passage: Name two properties of a cloth towel.
Day 102: Model and label
Task: Draw and label two facts from the reading. Write a sentence explaining each.
Day 103: Predict
Task: Predict what you might observe if you explore this topic. Explain your prediction.
Day 104: Observe
Task: Safe observation or model: Sort safe household objects by texture and flexibility. Record what actually happened.
Day 105: Explain
Task: Without copying the reading, answer: Name two properties of a cloth towel. Explain one piece of evidence.
Week 22: Objects and design
Read: A bridge must support a load. Engineers choose materials and shapes for a purpose. Testing a small model helps reveal what works.
Day 106: Read and ask
Task: Answer the question using the passage: Why do engineers test a bridge model?
Day 107: Model and label
Task: Draw and label two facts from the reading. Write a sentence explaining each.
Day 108: Predict
Task: Predict what you might observe if you explore this topic. Explain your prediction.
Day 109: Observe
Task: Safe observation or model: Build a paper bridge between two books and test with light coins under adult supervision. Record what actually happened.
Day 110: Explain
Task: Without copying the reading, answer: Why do engineers test a bridge model? Explain one piece of evidence.
