Key Stage 1 Science

About KS1 Science

Our KS1 Science quizzes turn the National Curriculum into short, child-friendly activities that help children in Year 1 and Year 2 enjoy learning while building early scientific knowledge. Written by teachers, each quiz uses clear questions, helpful hints and instant feedback to support pupils aged 5–7.

Topics include animals, plants, materials, seasons, forces and simple investigations. Many quizzes use strong visual cues and picture-based questions, helping young learners observe, compare and explain ideas in an accessible, low-pressure way.

These KS1 Science quizzes support both classroom learning and home study, reinforcing key vocabulary and concepts while preparing pupils for the transition to KS2. The content aligns with official Government guidance: Science programmes of study: key stages 1 and 2 .
