This Grade 1 light versus sound sheet asks first graders to compare two kinds of energy side by side. Students answer four multiple choice questions about senses, thunderstorms, bouncing, and empty space, then complete five fill-in sentences about echoes, eyes, ears, and energy. The worksheet helps kids see that light and sound both travel and reflect while using different senses and moving at very different speeds.
