Ontario Grade 1 Science Curriculum Overview
Grade 1 science in Ontario introduces young learners to the world around them. Students investigate living things, discover properties of everyday materials, explore how energy affects daily life, and learn how people interact with their environment. These early science experiences build observation and inquiry skills that carry through every grade.

Ontario Grade 1 science is organized into four broad areas that match the provincial curriculum:
- Living Things: Characteristics of living and non-living things, basic needs of plants and animals
- Materials and Matter: Properties of everyday materials, how materials can be changed
- Energy in Our Lives: Sources of light and sound, how energy affects daily activities
- Interactions with the Environment: How living things depend on their environment and how people can protect it
