God Made Living Things: Grade 1 Science | SydTek Scholars Homeschool Curriculum

Explore God’s creation through hands-on science and discovery.

God Made Living Things is the Grade 1 Science textbook in the SydTek Scholars curriculum. Students learn about plants, animals, habitats, weather, seasons, life cycles, and the basic needs of living things through observation, investigation, nature study, and portfolio-based learning.

Young learners develop scientific curiosity while discovering how God’s creation works together in an orderly and beautiful world. Lessons encourage observation, critical thinking, journaling, drawing, experimentation, and outdoor exploration that help students connect scientific learning with everyday life.

Students investigate the differences between living and nonliving things, explore plant and animal characteristics, observe weather patterns, study habitats, and learn how living things grow, change, and survive.

Topics include living and nonliving things, plants, animals, habitats, weather, seasons, life cycles, observation skills, nature journaling, and stewardship of God’s creation.

Perfect for homeschool families, Christian schools, microschools, churches, and independent learners seeking a faith-centered Grade 1 science curriculum.
