Build It Up Worksheets for 1st and 2nd Grade

What your child practices

Build It Up comes alive in 6 worksheets for 1st and 2nd grade science (Grades 1 to 2 in Canada), with 58 questions in total. Young scientists learn by noticing, asking questions and talking about what they see, and these sheets turn Build It Up into simple questions they can answer with pictures and words. It opens with a guided Learn and Practice page, moves on to a practice sheet and a review test, then finishes with two quick quizzes and a mixed review. It is aligned to NGSS 2-PS1-3, which focuses on matter and how it changes. In Canada it matches the BC curriculum for Grade 1. Every PDF prints on US letter paper, with the answer key on page 2 for quick checking. New to the idea? Watch the Build It Up video lesson, then print a sheet while it is fresh.

Tips for parents

• Read the sheet aloud and let your child answer by drawing or pointing.
• Ask "how do you know?" after each answer to build scientific thinking.
• Let your child predict an answer before reading, then check if the prediction held up.
