About this course
Science Launch Grade 1 is a free 12-week online science course. Kids feel sound make things shake, find out how light helps us see, test what light can pass through, send signals, learn how plant and animal parts do their jobs, and track patterns in the sky. Each week has short lessons Monday to Friday and a Saturday Launch Lab the family does together, with a note for the grown-up.
