Kindergarten Physical Science Worksheets and Activities
Explore our collection of Kindergarten Physical Science worksheets and activities, designed to introduce young learners to the basics of matter, energy, and forces. These engaging, developmentally appropriate resources help students build foundational science skills through hands-on exploration and observation.
About these Kindergarten Physical Science worksheets and activities
Kindergarten Physical Science worksheets and activities cover core concepts such as properties of matter, energy, forces and motion, speed and direction, and simple chemical reactions. Students learn to describe objects by their physical properties (color, size, shape, texture), observe how pushes and pulls change motion, and explore how light, heat, and sound are forms of energy. Activities include sorting materials, predicting motion, and identifying changes in matter.
Related concepts include comparing and contrasting, cause and effect, and using descriptive language. These resources build vocabulary, observation skills, and critical thinking. Worksheets and games provide no-prep, teacher-authored practice that is both printable and digital, making them ideal for classroom or home use. Some resources are free, while others are part of a paid membership.

Using these in your classroom
Teachers can use these Physical Science resources in whole-group lessons to introduce concepts, then differentiate for small groups or centers. Struggling learners benefit from scaffolded worksheets with picture cues, while advanced students can explore extension activities like predicting outcomes. Use printable worksheets for independent practice or homework, and digital versions for interactive whiteboard activities or literacy centers. These resources also work well for intervention, review, and assessment, allowing teachers to track understanding of key science vocabulary and concepts.
Standards alignment
These activities are aligned to grade-level Common Core and Next Generation Science Standards for Kindergarten, focusing on physical science concepts such as properties of matter, forces and motion, and energy.
