What’s Covered in 1st Grade Science

  • The Next Generation Science Standards is a multi-state effort to create a comphrensive set of science standards for K-12 students in the United States and are a great starting point for a science curriculum. Over 20 states have voluntarily adopted NGSS. We combine these standards with what children are curious about, current world events, and practical skills to provide a modern well-rounded science curriculum that prepares children for anything they might want to pursue.

  • In this chapter, we introduce the concept of sound, highlighting that it is produced by vibrations. Parents can expect their kids to identify various sound sources, delve into the nature of sound waves, and understand how scientists study our world.

  • In this chapter, you will discover the wonders of light, exploring how it behaves and interacts with objects. You’ll also learn about light's properties, including reflection and refraction, and its various sources. This knowledge culminates in a fun activity: building your own light communication message.

  • In this chapter, you'll explore the amazing traits of animals and plants, and understand how mimicry plays a magical role in their survival. Then, using your creativity, you'll take inspiration from these plant and animal parts to design unique solutions to interesting problems.

  • In this chapter, you'll dive into the fascinating world of living organisms. Discover the unique life cycles of different creatures, uncover the secrets of their development, and the special ways parents nurture their young. Plus, get ready to be amazed by the clever survival strategies and adaptations animals use in the wild.

  • In this chapter, you’ll learn about Earth's spot in the vast solar system. Together, we’ll dive into how Earth's tilt creates our seasons and affects daylight. Plus, you’ll learn how to be a budding astronomer, using keen observations of stars and planets to make exciting predictions.

  • Get ready for a unique and fun assessment in this final chapter. We're reviewing all the important ideas from the course--with a twist! Many questions are open-ended (with more than one right answer) and designed to kickstart lively discussion. Students will review, think, and see their learning journey in a whole new light. End the course on a high note--full of fun and reflection!

Common Questions

  • We understand your schedule can be busy, which is why we customize our live class schedule to the group of families that register. After you register, we will collect the optimal class times for your family and add multiple time slots per week to ensure there is always a class time that works for you.

    We can also accommodate time zones around the world.

  • If you miss a class, no problem! You can register for that same class at another time or play through a high-quality video that covers all the information from class and walks you through that portion of the textbook. Plus, you have 12 months to complete the course so you will have many opportunities to register for live classes.

  • Yes, we’ve created a full curriculum for 1st grade science using the framework provided by the Next Generation Science Standards.

    You can learn more about what science is covered here: https://www.stemschool.tappityapp.com/1st-grade-science-education-outline

  • Tappity safeguards all Zoom sessions with password protection, guaranteeing exclusive access for teachers and students. Furthermore, our meetings are designed for instructor control, empowering teachers—rather than students—with authority over classroom entry and fundamental functionalities like screen sharing and audio/video. This ensures teachers can promptly address any issues that may arise during classes.

  • We do not currently at this time but we hope to offer it in the future.

  • They can, if each child has been enrolled in the course. Each child will also need to join on their own device.

  • If you find that our classes aren’t a good fit for your family, please contact us at hey@tappityapp.com. We’d be happy to refund your purchase.

  • No problem! The course is designed to be flexible and self-paced, so there is no inherent deadline to complete the course. The 3-months is a suggested completion time based on the number of classes we offer. Some kids finish more quickly, and others take longer.

  • Given the custom nature of the course, we’ve instituted a limited number of spots, so we can ensure a high degree of personalization and attention for each and every child.

  • You’ll need a device and an internet connection fast enough for Zoom and streaming online videos. Other than that, there is no special equipment.

    We’ll send you the Tappity Science book needed for this course.
