Science in Year 1 is built on noticing things: how a bean plant changes week by week, which materials feel bendy or stiff, what happens to the trees in autumn. These Year 1 science worksheets cover all four units in the programme of study — plants, animals including humans, everyday materials and seasonal changes — with activities that ask pupils to name, sort, match and observe.

Each worksheet is aligned to the England National Curriculum for Key Stage 1 science, so it complements the practical, hands-on work the curriculum expects rather than replacing it. Sheets work well for recording observations after an investigation or checking what stuck at the end of a unit.

Print them for the whole class, keep a few for early finishers, or send one home so families can see what the topic covers. If a worksheet is nearly right but not quite, open it in Chalkie — editing and regenerating is free once you sign up.
