    Life Science

    This collection has resources that relate to first grade or any of the early childhood grades. All resources in this collection correlate with the topic of what plants need to grow and how it affects plant growth.

My last resource is a lesson plan to do with your students to recognize the idea that the sun is the biggest star in the sky and why it appears larger than any other star. These four resources are a mix between getting the students to learn patterns and just learning about the sun, moon, and stars.
