This Grade 1 predicting sky patterns worksheet challenges first graders to use repeating events to guess what comes next in the sky. Four multiple choice questions cover predicting moon phases, sunrise times, seasons, and shape changes. Five fill-in sentences help Grade 1 learners practice observer words like predict, pattern, and smaller as they think like young scientists watching the sky.
