Animals in IB PYP Grade 1 Science
This page collects Animals resources for IB PYP Grade 1 Science. Learners at this emerging stage work on sorting animals into simple groups, describing where animals live and what they eat and comparing pets, farm animals and wild animals.
PYP learning is inquiry-based: children explore ideas through questions, play and real-life examples, so worksheets and games here are designed to be short, clear and encouraging.
What learners practise
- Sorting animals into simple groups
- Describing where animals live and what they eat
- Comparing pets, farm animals and wild animals
- Noticing how animals move and grow
For students
Work through the worksheets and interactive activities at your own pace. Check your answers, then redo anything that felt tricky and explain each answer in your own words.
For parents
Sit with your child for the first few questions and ask “how do you know?”. Praise effort and keep sessions short.
For teachers
Use animals activities as a starter, homework or retrieval practice, and mix free and premium resources to differentiate.
Read each question for the command word (describe, explain, compare) before you start. It tells you how much detail is expected.
Quick answers
Who is the Animals page for?
It is for IB PYP Grade 1 Science learners, typically aged 6–7, and for the parents and teachers who support them.
Are animals resources free?
Many are. Each resource shows a clear Free or price label, so you can start with the free ones and add premium resources when you need more practice.
How should I use these resources?
Pick one resource, complete it without help first, then check and correct. Repeating this little and often is more effective than one long session.
