1st Grade Science: Daily Practice Workbook | 20 Weeks of Fun Activities (Physical, Life, Earth and Space Science, Engineering | Video Explanations Included | 200+ Pages Workbook)

This workbook is great for our 1st grader. We’re homeschooling this year and this workbook is fun and engaging. The level seems right. Each unit is 5 days and they build off of each other. The little dinosaur is also very cute.

This workbook is a good place to start a science education. The workbook covers the multiple science skills needed for this grade level, including Physical Science, Life Science, Earth and Space Science, and Engineering. Each grade level workbook offers 20 weeks of practice. For more science education content, the Beestar website to learn more about science. Consider the other Science workbooks from this publisher. They are a good way to encourage at home and support their science education at school as well.

We were lucky to order 2 Science Daily Practice Workbooks. The first one was for the 1st grade and the second for the 5th grade which includes the Physical Science, Life Science; Earth and Space Science as well as Engineering. The workbooks practice can help children to learn new skills at their own pace. The children were so happy to get the books and enjoy reading them. This workbook is packed with exercises that make learning fun! That’s really 20 weeks of fun activities... for sure we will order more.

I am very happy with this purchase, but if you are looking for an all-in-one complete program, then this is most likely not a good fit. That being said, this program worked perfectly for my 1st grade homeschooler. I use this as a guide of sorts to keep structure in our program (or I will wander off into tangents with the wealth of information available). I use each lesson as a starting point then supplement with books, mini lessons, or science videos. We don’t necessarily follow the timeline if it’s a subject of interest or if it’s a topic I want to expand or focus on.The units are very creative in getting the student to think critically. For instance: the unit on external animal characteristics has them observe and draw a bird then note it’s external parts and discuss what they’re used for. The next lesson is on researching other birds and what differences/similarities are noticed. Again, you discuss why the animal’s body parts are the way they are. The next unit is on plant parts. The unit after that has the student come up with a solution to a human problem that can be modeled after/ based on a plant or animal part they learned about. It is subtle, but so beneficial!

This book is fine. However not at the reading level of a 1st grader. My son reads very well and was even in a "higher" reading class when in Kindergarten, but this book is above his reading level. They use words that no 1st grader can define and it is frustrating when the word "Extrapolate" is used rather than a simpler sentence. The 1st half of the book seems harder than the 2nd half so far. Not fully through it yet. I just wish it would be written in a way for a 1st grader to easily understand.

Lots of fun activities that encourage learning for our little ones. Especially helpful if you have kids at home and need to find things to do. So its not only fun but educational as well. Some additional color would be great but its not a deal breaker.

Great to supplement Science lessons for homeschooling. It is well structured with theory and activities. My 1st grader finds it easy to read and do himself.

I bought this to flesh out the science curriculum for my 1st grade class.Book starts on week 4 day 5. Wth? There are no links or pages of substance material to actually teach the lessons or guides to actual activities. I looked to see of maybe I ordered the wrong item and if there was actually another book to accompany this. Ugh- back to square one. Disappointed!
