Grade 1 Science · Materials and Their Properties
Build science skills with five 10-question practice tests covering material properties, states of matter, light, water, strength, flexibility, and everyday uses.
These Grade 1 science practice tests help students describe materials and connect their properties to everyday uses. Students compare texture, hardness, flexibility, absorbency, waterproofing, transparency, strength, and simple solid or liquid behavior.
Complete one 10-question test at a time. Let the student safely touch, bend, or observe common materials and explain which property makes each material useful. Record observations before choosing a material for a simple job.
