Hello,

I was wondering what are some engaging activities or strategies that can encourage scientific thinking in students in 1st grade.

Hello Valerie, 

I recently saw an activity on the Get Caught Engineering website that had some lessons and ideas listed down. However, I found the Save SAM with STEM! activity to be quite engaging as it allows for students to think strategically when it comes to solving a science situation. It works well in many aspects besides being engaging because it allows for them to work on their teamwork, creativity, and strategy; all things that you were looking for to help first graders! The plus side is that it can work with a variety of first graders and the items can be substituted with a variety of items, this activity can also be found all over the web incase you wanted to see various options.

Best of luck!
