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!

This ensures teachers can promptly address any issues that may arise during classes.

  • More than one child in a household can take the on-demand portion of the course. As a member, you can order additional course books & materials for 50% off.

    However, each child will need to have their own membership to join live classes.

  • If you find that a course is not a good fit for your family, please contact us at hey@tappityapp.com. We’d be happy to refund your purchase or register you for a different course.

  • No problem! The course is designed to be flexible and self-paced, so there is no inherent deadline to complete the course.

  • 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.

  • Yes. All courses come with the materials you will need. Our science courses use some common household materials with options for substations (for example, empty milk cartons, paper, toilet paper rolls, etc.).

  • While there isn’t a separate parent guide, the course book itself includes detailed directions on each page paired with a corresponding video guide. This combination provides comprehensive guidance to help parents effectively support their child’s learning.
