Building Science Skills in 1st Grade

1st grade is an important year for science. Students in Maryland begin to observe, ask questions, and make simple predictions about the natural world. Strong skills at this stage prepare students for the more structured science content they will encounter in 2nd grade and beyond. StudyPug's lessons make it easy for children to revisit any topic they find challenging and practice until they feel confident.
