Kindergarten Science Curriculum

Science is messy. We do not always know the answer when we start.

We play. We explore. We poke around and stir things up. We try something not because we already know what will happen but because we want to know what will happen. Play off of students' natural curiosity in the classroom all while developing science, math, and literacy skills.

What does STEM look like in kindergarten?

Our kindergarten science curriculum aligns STEM activities to Next Generation Science Standards. Science lessons build on prior knowledge and experiences, which enables students to connect to new concepts and skills. Age-appropriate interactive activities, songs, and characters within engaging lesson plans bring kindergarten science to life. With math and literacy skills incorporated in every lesson, Science4Us is more than science education.

This is the year to build a framework for future science learning. Science4Us takes it further by providing opportunities for the youngest students to explore science concepts and practice literacy skills simultaneously using bite-sized lessons, perfect for center time, whole class lessons, or small groups.

What do kindergarteners learn in STEM?

Kindergarteners are new to the study of science. Inquiry introduces students to the tools they will use throughout the year to help them make observations and measure. These tools may be as familiar as their five senses or as unfamiliar as a balance scale. Students will use scientific tools and inquiry skills as they work through all the modules they study.

The Physical Science lessons show students how to describe objects and sort them by their physical properties. For the Inquiry Science activities, students investigate and experiment with tools. In the Life Science activities, students observe and investigate plants and animals. The Earth and Space Science lessons allow kindergarten students to explore science concepts beyond their reach! Our kindergarten curriculum prepares students for 1st-grade STEM!

Everybody's Talking About Science4Us

Science skills are often difficult to acquire. Science4Us makes it fun and opens doors to students who have shut down science. Science in the past is something they thought they couldn’t learn. Now they can.

- Science4Us Director, Advance Learning Academy, FL

Science4Us is a huge resource for my classroom. I love to see how the videos, songs and activities encourage students to think in new ways about the things they experience. My students look forward to science time every day!

- Science4Us Teacher, Advance Learning Academy, FL

By having Science4Us, we can give them what they’re used to. They’re able to manipulate science virtually, it makes our job easier, and we’re helping them to retain the knowledge that we want them to learn

- Teacher, Hillcrest Elementary School

Science4Us keeps the students engaged and requires them to retell/summarize each topic.

- Teacher, Polk County School District

I used to be a little apprehensive about teaching science because I never felt like I had the right tools to catch my students’ attention in a way that they would be able to understand the material. Now that I have used Science4us, I know just how excited they are to watch the catchy videos, play the interactive games, and explore all of the activities on the site. It makes it fun to teach science skills. Overall, my students seem more excited to do science activities. They ask me all the time if they can watch the video segments over again.
