Science
Year 1 · National Curriculum (England)
Year 1 Science introduces the habit of careful observation: identifying and naming common animals (fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals) and plants, and describing simple physical features. Students explore everyday materials (wood, plastic, glass, metal) and describe their properties.
Seasonal change is observed across the year, building the idea that science involves noticing patterns over time, not just single observations.
