Theme: Using My Senses to Understand My World
In science, kindergarten students use their senses to make observations of the characteristics and objects in their world. Students study the characteristics of water and the basic needs of living things. They also study the relationship between the sun and Earth through shadows and weather. They determine how their actions can change the motion of objects and learn how they can make a difference in the world. Throughout the elementary years, students will develop scientific skills, supported by mathematics and computational thinking as they learn science content. In kindergarten, students will develop skills in posing simple questions, conducting simple investigations, observing, classifying, and communicating information about the natural world.
