STUDENT MANUAL FIRST GRADE SCIENCE / LESSON 2

Lesson 2 Scientists Compare

Today you will become aware of how objects are alike and different. You will use your senses to compare objects.

Who is bigger, you or your teacher? Who is bigger, a puppy or a dog?

Scientists compare things just like you did while answering this question.

You used your sense of sight to compare the size of the dog and the puppy.
