Opportunities to tie science to home and everyday life are everywhere! Skill Sharpeners: Science provides hands-on experiences and activities that connect children's real-world experiences to science concepts and vocabulary. Each full-color worksheet lists skills taught, as well as a "concept" or "skill" note that explains the primary point of each worksheet. Written activity worksheets and hands-on activities are included.

This Grade 1 book covers physical science (sound, light, shadows), life science (leaves, animals and eggs, birds, insects), earth science (night sky, seasons), environment & ecology (uses of wood, recycling), and engineering and design (tools).

An answer key (reduced-size student pages with overlaid answers) is included.
