Kindergarten Science Bundle

Thank you for viewing my kindergarten science bundle! I created each unit to align with the new NGSS standards. Each unit is designed to be engaging and hands on for students, and accessible and with minimal prep for teachers. This Kindergarten Science Bundle that I have created aligns with Mystery Science Kindergarten (this product can also be used without pairing it with Mystery Science)

Standards Covered:

Weather and Seasons:

K-ESS2-1: Use and share observations of local weather conditions to describe patterns over time.

K-ESS3-2: Ask questions to obtain information about the purpose of weather forecasting to prepare for, and respond to, severe weather.

K-PS3-1 Make observations to determine the effect of sunlight on Earth‘s surface.

K-PS3-2: Use tools and materials to design and build a structure that will reduce the warming effect of sunlight on an area.

K-2-ETS1-1: Ask questions, make observations, and gather information about a situation people want to change to define a simple problem that can be solved through the development of a new or improved object or tool.

K-2-ETS1-2: Develop a simple sketch, drawing, or physical model to illustrate how the shape of an object helps it function as needed to solve a given problem.

Forces and Motion:

K-PS2-1: Plan and conduct an investigation to compare the effects of different strengths or different directions of pushes and pulls on the motion of an object.

K-PS2-2: Analyze data to determine if a design solution works as intended to change the speed or direction of an object with a push or pull.

K-2-ETS1-1: Ask questions, make observations, and gather information about a situation people want to change to define a simple problem that can be solved through the development of a new or improved object or tool.

Plants and Animals:

K-LS1-1: Use observations to describe patterns of what plants and animals (including humans)

need to survive.

K-ESS3-1: Use a model to represent the relationship between the needs of different plants or

animals (including humans) and the places they live.

K-ESS2-2: Construct an argument supported by evidence for how plants and animals

(including humans) can change the environment to meet their needs.

K-ESS3-3: Communicate solutions that will reduce the impact of humans on the land, water, air, and/or other living thing in the local environment.

K-2 ETS1-1: Ask questions, make observations, and gather information about a situation people want to change to define a simple problem that can be solved through the development of a new or improved object or tool.
