Click and teach. There is a 13 page (out of 280) preview. This includes a complete list of tub supplies.
18 Weeks of Lessons! 90 Daily Lessons! All the NGSS standards covered. If you alternate science and social studies, this is the entire year!
18 Weeks of Science Lessons, Handouts, and Simple Projects, Activities; Activities to make Teaching Science the Next Generation Science SO Easy!
Be finished with your NGSS science alignment! The entire first grade science curriculum plus all the extras. Multitude of teaching modalities used. So easy to teach. Click and teach. Very little prep as far as first grade goes. Just set out supplies for the week and be ready for the students to learn through exploration. Your role is to facilitate the learning by asking questions.
It is designed to cover everything that we are told to cover and how we are told to cover it. Covers use of technology, high engagement, games, activities, simple projects, focused lessons, formative, summative, alternative, and project-based assessments.

To use
1) Print and put in binder. (binder cover included)
2) Using the science supply list, gather supplies, put into tub, and use the science supply label.
3) go to http://firstgradenextgenerationscience.weebly.com/weeks-1-9.html to follow week by week.
Your role as a teacher would be to lead inquiries and facilitate.
Students' role would be to discover and explore.
To use this, students need access to computers for online practice. The teacher needs a projector, projector board, smartboard, or interactive board to do play and discuss video clips, and model the activities and games.

"For the Teacher" cards
*Created to make teaching science simple, but with impact.
*The shift in teaching is that teachers have to be well planned to promote learning through engagement. With this shift, the way teaching looks has changed. It should look like students exploring and discovering and teachers facilitating and asking how, why, when,etc. questions.

All of the Next Generation Science First Grade Standards (Plus some CCSS ones as a bonus!)
Engineering, Technology, and Applications of Science
1.ETS1.1 Ask questions, make observations, and gather information about a situation people want to change to define a simple problem that can be solved through the development of a new or improved object or tool.
1.ETS1.2 Develop a simple sketch, drawing, or physical model to illustrate how the shape of an object helps it function as needed to solve a given problem.
1.ETS1.3 Analyze data from tests of two objects designed to solve the same problem to compare the strengths and weaknesses of how each performs.
Earth and Space Science
1.ESS1.1 Use observations of the sun, moon, and stars to describe patterns that can be predicted.
1.ESS1.2 Make observations at different times of year to relate the amount of daylight to the time of year.
Life Science
1.LS1.1 Use materials to design a solution to a human problem by mimicking how plants and/or animals use their external parts to help them survive, grow, and meet their needs.
1.LS1.2 Read texts and use media to determine patterns in behavior of parents and offspring that help offspring survive.
1.LS3.1 Make observations to construct an evidence-based account that young plants and animals are like, but not exactly like, their pare
Physical Science
1.PS4.1 Plan and conduct investigations to provide evidence that vibrating materials can make sound and that sound can make materials vibrate.
1.PS4.2 Make observations to construct an evidence-based account that objects can be seen only when illuminated.
1.PS4.3 Plan and conduct an investigation to determine the effect of placing objects made with different materials in the path of a beam of light.
1.PS4.4 Use tools and materials to design and build a device that uses light or sound to solve the problem of communicating over a distance.
