What do kindergartners learn in science?
Kindergarten science is hands-on and playful. Children learn to ask questions, make observations, and describe patterns they see in the world around them.
- Pushes and Pulls. Kids test how objects move when they push or pull them. They compare strong and gentle forces and learn that force changes motion.
- Needs of Living Things. Children sort objects as living or nonliving. They learn that plants and animals, including people, need food, water, and air to live.
- Weather Patterns. Students record daily weather like sunny, cloudy, rainy, and windy. They look for patterns and share what they notice.
- Sunlight and Warmth. Kids use their senses to compare warm and cool surfaces. They find that sunlight makes some places warmer.
- Habitats. Children match animals to the places they live. They learn that animals need a home that provides food, water, and shelter.
- Caring for Earth. Kindergartners learn simple ways to reduce, reuse, and recycle. They talk about how people's choices can help or hurt land, water, and air.
How to use these kindergarten science resources
Teachers can project a kindergarten science worksheet to introduce a new idea, like pushes and pulls. Assign an online game for quick practice, then check auto-graded results to see who needs help. Print pages for whole class work, small groups, or homework. Parents can use them for summer practice. Use the standards tags to find resources that match what your class needs.
Common questions
What science should a kindergartner know?
Kindergartners build early science skills by observing and sorting. They learn about pushes and pulls, what plants and animals need to survive, daily weather patterns, and simple ways to care for the environment. Hands-on experiences help them describe patterns and ask questions.
Are these kindergarten science resources NGSS aligned?
Yes. The resources are tagged to kindergarten performance expectations from the Next Generation Science Standards. You can browse by standard to find activities that match what you teach.
What science topic do kindergartners find hardest?
Comparing living and nonliving things can be tricky because children may think anything that moves is alive. Sorting practice, clear pictures, and questions about needs like food and water help them build a correct idea.
Can I assign these online?
Most resources can be printed or assigned digitally. Online work is auto-graded, so you can see results quickly.
Are there free kindergarten science worksheets?
Some worksheets are free to use. The full library is available with a Workybooks membership.
