Science Unit Plan: Kindergarten "Exploring the Environment" NSK.1 (Saskatchewan)

This science unit is perfect for kindergarten students and can easily be adapted to other grades. Students will embark on an exploration of the elements that shape our natural world. From the wonders of soil and the changing of weather patterns to changes taking place in landforms, students will expand their understanding of their environment.

Each lesson is designed with a simple structure that includes an introduction, a mini-lesson, a hands-on activity for interactive learning, and a sharing circle prompt that encourages children to express their thoughts and observations.

This resource includes mini-lessons, hands on activities, and sharing circle prompts. It includes posters, tracing sheets, sorting activities, scavenger hunt, weather tracker, experiments, visual resources, teacher notes, and much more. This unit can be used inside the classroom or many lessons (and resources) can be easily adapted for outdoor learning.
