Take your first grade scientists on a virtual field trip to meet the special creatures at the California Science Center. Compare parents and offspring to see that they are alike, but not exactly alike, and find behavior patterns of parents and offspring that help the offspring survive. Young scientists will also begin to understand how plants and animals use their external parts to help them survive, grow, and meet their needs.

Students will consider how external structures help animals to carry their young and keep them safe. They will use their observations of structure and function in nature as inspiration to design an invention that will let them carry a toy with no hands.
First grade scientists will embark on a virtual field trip to learn all about light and sound. Students will understand how useful light and sound can be in everyday tasks, such as communicating with friends and seeing in the dark!
