Description
Spark curiosity with KinderScience! These five hands-on units bring science to life through engaging lessons, experiments, and student-friendly activities made just for kindergarten.
KinderScience | Kindergarten Science Curriculum with Experiments and Printables
KinderScience is an engaging, standards-based science curriculum designed specifically for young learners. Through hands-on exploration and age-appropriate lessons, students are encouraged to think critically, ask questions, and apply their understanding through meaningful experiments and activities.
This bundle includes five themed units: Life Science, Earth Science, Physical Science, Space & Simple Machines, and Five Senses. Each unit contains 10 detailed lessons, designed to span 1–2 days each, offering at least two weeks of instruction per unit. Lessons include clear objectives, covered standards, vocabulary, materials lists, and step-by-step plans for both instruction and student practice.
Every lesson follows a predictable structure: an engaging opener, a whole-group skill lesson, and a hands-on experiment or experiment follow-up. Student response sheets are provided for every lesson and can be used as-is or scaled down for science journals. The flexible design allows you to adapt the pacing and structure to best fit your classroom needs.
KinderScience makes it easy to bring high-quality science instruction to life in kindergarten with purposeful, engaging content your students will love.

What About Standards?
The units are based upon commonly used state science standards as well as the Next Generation Science Standards! Below are the NGSS standards!
Unit 1: K-LS1 From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes, 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
Unit 2: 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 things in the local environment.
Unit 3:K-PS3 Energy K-PS3-1. Make observations to determine the effect of sunlight on Earth’s surface.
Unit 4:K-PS2 Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions
Unit 5: 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-PS2 Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions
Special Note:
KinderScience and FirstieScience share the same core content, with grade-level branding tailored for kindergarten and first grade. This curriculum includes differentiated assessments and printables designed to meet the needs of both grade levels. If you’ve purchased KinderScience and would prefer the FirstieScience version, simply email me with your receipt—I’ll be happy to send it your way!
