science ideas for grade 1

I just finished scanning the digital issue of a current 1st grade edition of The Mailbox http://www.mailbox.com/ and several science ideas are keepers! They are worth your time to incorporate into the curriculum you use. I like the Venn diagram idea that was submitted to compare pond life with ocean life. Have photos, clam and mussel shells to touch, story books and science books to look at before you create the Venn diagram with students.

There's also a layout full of insect theme activities to sharpen skills across the curriculums--math/addition, science/observing, writing, etc.
