First graders investigate light, sound, living things, and the sky, and these 1st grade science worksheets give you a printable follow-up for each NGSS unit: light and sound (1-PS4), structure of living things (1-LS1), space systems (1-ESS1), and weather patterns.
The worksheets mirror the NGSS performance expectations. Students explore what happens when objects made of different materials are placed in a beam of light, design solutions inspired by how plants and animals use their external parts, describe predictable patterns in the sun, moon, and stars, and observe the effect of sunlight on Earth's surface.
Because NGSS is investigation-first, these pages work best as the recording and sense-making layer around hands-on activities: a place for students to draw observations, sort examples, and explain their thinking on paper.
