Kindergarten Science Lesson Plans

7 plans covering the science topics kindergarten actually teaches. Each one is a full lesson: objective, timed steps, a check for understanding, and the practice pages to hand out.

What science looks like in kindergarten

Kindergarten is the year the formal skills start: letters to sounds, numerals to quantities, and the first independent writing. Lessons still run on short blocks with plenty of modelling.
