Grade 1 Science · Living and Nonliving Things
Build science skills with five 10-question practice tests covering characteristics of life, basic needs, growth, observations, and living or nonliving classification.
These Grade 1 science practice tests help students identify what makes something living. Students sort examples, recognize basic needs, observe growth and change, and use evidence to explain whether something is living or nonliving.
Complete one 10-question test at a time. Ask the student to explain which characteristic supports each answer. Use a plant, pet, or picture outside the home to practice noticing growth, needs, and changes.
