Explore 30 worksheets related to science observation worksheets currently available in our library. Science observation worksheets help young learners look closely, notice visible details, describe what they see, compare objects, sort by observable properties, record changes, and organize simple science data. These printable activities include drawing observations, same-and-different comparisons, size and surface observations, sorting and classification, leaf and rock observations, before-and-after records, nature observation activities, tallies, picture graphs, evidence practice, review, and assessment for Pre-K, Kindergarten, and 1st Grade.
Look Closely
Young learners examine six familiar natural or classroom objects and identify directly visible details such as shape, pattern, number of parts, and obvious features.
What Do You Notice?
Children study four detailed pictures, select something they notice in each one, and optionally draw another visible detail.
Draw What You See
Students look closely at four simple natural objects and draw what they actually see, focusing on shape, parts, and surface details.
Observation or Guess?
Students decide whether ten picture-supported statements are direct observations or guesses that add information not shown in the picture.
Same or Different?
Children compare eight pairs of familiar objects and mark SAME or DIFFERENT based on clearly visible properties.
Find the Difference
Students examine six pairs of similar science-themed pictures and circle one concrete visible difference in each pair.
Big or Small?
Children compare ten object pairs and identify the bigger or smaller item using only the relative size shown in the pictures.
Long or Short?
Children compare ten object pairs and identify the longer or shorter item without using rulers or numerical measurement.
Smooth or Rough?
Students identify ten illustrated surfaces as smooth-looking or rough-looking using clear picture evidence.
Count What You Observe
Students carefully count one visible feature in each of eight scenes and record whole-number observations from one to ten.
Observe and Sort
Students sort 12 familiar object cards into two categories using a clearly supplied observable property.
Sort by Shape
Children sort 12 natural-object cards into three picture-supported shape categories using visible overall form.
Two Ways to Sort
Students sort the same eight objects in two different ways using two clearly observable properties and compare the results.
Observe a Leaf
Students use a guided sheet to observe a safe leaf specimen, recording shape, edge, visible veins, relative size, and a drawing.
Observe a Rock
Students observe a safe rock specimen and record shape, relative size, surface appearance, visible pattern, and a drawing.
Observe a Plant
Students make a firsthand plant observation by recording what they see, counting visible leaves, comparing height to a reference, and drawing the plant.
Observe an Object
Students examine one safe classroom or natural object and record its name, shape, relative size, surface, visible parts, and another noticed detail.
My Science Observation
Students use a general-purpose observation sheet to draw, describe, count, and record one detail from a safe classroom science activity.
Before and After Observation
Students record one teacher-selected object or safe investigation before and after, then identify what stayed the same and what changed.
What Changed?
Students examine eight before-and-after picture pairs and identify one directly visible change in each example.
Observe Over 3 Days
Students observe one safe object or specimen on three occasions, record a countable feature, and compare what stayed the same or changed.
Observation Tally
Students organize a fictional observation collection of 15 items with a simple tally table and answer five questions about totals, most, least, and comparisons.
Observation Picture Graph
Students interpret a simple science picture graph with four observable categories and answer six questions about counts and comparisons.
Nature Observation Hunt
Students complete an eight-item outdoor observation hunt, checking broad safe findings and drawing two things they noticed.
Science Observation Walk
Students use four open-ended sections—I SAW, I COUNTED, I COMPARED, and I WONDER—during a safe schoolyard, garden, or classroom observation walk.
Describe Your Observation
Students describe eight picture-supported observations using short sentence frames about visible shape, size, number, pattern, position, and surface details.
Observation and Evidence
Students answer eight picture-supported questions by identifying visible evidence that supports a simple observation statement.
Science Observation Mixed Review
Students review science-observation skills through visible details, comparisons, sorting, and a simple tally or picture graph.
Science Observation Challenge
Students complete 12 stronger observation questions covering visible details, comparison or classification, and simple records, counts, tallies, or graphs.
Science Observation Check-Up
Students complete a 16-item final assessment covering visible details, comparisons, classification by observable properties, and simple observation records or graphs.
FAQs About Science observation worksheets
A science observation is information gathered by carefully noticing what can be seen, heard, felt, counted, or otherwise safely observed during an investigation or exploration.
Pre-K, Kindergarten, and 1st Grade students can record observations with drawings, checkboxes, pictures, simple words, numbers, tallies, and basic graphs.
Kindergarten students can look for visible details, describe objects, compare similarities and differences, sort by observable properties, count features, and notice changes over time.
An observation describes evidence that can be directly noticed, while a guess adds an idea that is not directly established by the available observation.
Yes. Students can make concrete comparisons such as same or different, bigger or smaller, longer or shorter, more or fewer, and before versus after when the evidence is clearly available.
Observation worksheets give young learners a structured place to draw, describe, count, compare, classify, and organize what they notice during science activities.
