The First Grade Georgia Standards of Excellence for science engage students in raising questions about the world around them and seeking answers by making observations.  First graders use whole numbers to analyze scientific data.  They create drawings that correctly depict something being described.  First graders are asked to plan and carry out simple investigations to understand patterns that are observed in the world around them and make predictions based on their investigations.  First graders also follow safety rules.

Learning Targets and Success Criteria have been added to the units of study.
