Free 1st Grade Light and Sound Worksheets
If your first grader is learning about light and sound, these free printable worksheets make the topic much easier to understand through simple explanations, pictures, and hands-on practice.
My kids have always loved learning with printables and fun worksheets, which is one of the reasons I enjoy creating them so much. My younger kid has just started school, so I am especially enjoying creating resources like these right now!
If your child enjoys learning this way too, my printable brain teasers for kids and kindergarten activity booklet are two more fun ways to sneak in a little practice without making it feel like homework.

What do these 1st grade light and sound worksheets teach?
I wanted this printable pack to teach the concepts first, rather than simply hand kids a page of questions.
The 14-page printable includes colorful learning pages followed by practice worksheets and a complete answer key.
Kids will practice:
- how vibrations make sound
- loud and soft sounds
- high and low sounds
- how light helps us see
- natural and human-made light sources
- how light passes through, is blocked by, or reflects from different materials
- how shadows form
- using light and sound to send messages
- matching, true-or-false questions, and a simple science design challenge

The activities build directly on the learning pages, so children get a chance to understand an idea before being asked to apply it. The worksheets include sound and vibrations, light sources, materials, shadows, and a final light and sound review.
Easy science practice at home or school
These first grade science worksheets can be used in a classroom, for homeschool science, as extra practice at home, or as a quick review before moving on to a new topic.
You don't need to complete the whole packet at once. I actually prefer doing one learning page followed by the matching activity so kids can focus on one new idea at a time.
And because there is an answer key at the end, parents and teachers can quickly check the completed worksheets without having to work through every question themselves.

I hope these make science a little easier and a lot more fun for your new little learner too.
