What is science?
It’s one of the most important questions you can ask at the start of the year, and this comic makes the answer stick. Instead of tackling this topic with an ordinary science worksheet in the first week back, this print-and-go resource introduces science through a visual, comic-style format that gets 3rd-, 4th-, and 5th-graders genuinely excited about what’s ahead.
This is one of the best science activities for kids who need a visual entry point into big ideas. Rather than reading a dense definition from a textbook, students follow along through illustrations and approachable language that make the nature of science feel accessible, relevant, and fun. It’s the perfect intro to science resource for the first days of school- low prep, high engagement, and zero screens required.
The comic defines and illustrates what science actually is, how scientists think, and why it matters, building the foundation students need before diving into any content area. Pair it with the included doodle notes for a guided reading experience, or print the black-line version as a first-day coloring activity while you go over procedures. Either way, it works.
What’s included:
- Full-color “What is Science?” comic (great for projecting or printing as an anchor chart)
- Black-line comic (perfect August coloring sheet and interactive notebook addition)
- Doodle notes — guided notes style, follows along with the comic
- “What is Science?” coloring worksheet (multiple variations
- Bonus science word search (two levels of difficulty, great for early finishers)
- Answer keys
A perfect intro-to-science activity for back-to-school season that sets the tone for a year of visually engaging, comic-style learning.
Cool School Comics uses illustrations and diagrams to portray information visually. Ideal for today’s learners, this teacher resource engages struggling readers, multilingual learners, children with short attention spans, graphic novel lovers, and everyone in between.
