Kindergarten Science Curriculum {Little Science Thinkers Unit 3: Properties}

If you’ve ever felt like kindergarten science is the hardest subject to plan…
you’re not alone.

Maybe your curriculum feels overwhelming or hard to follow.
Maybe it doesn’t keep your students engaged.
(Raise your hand if you’ve also been victimized by a 1990s text book 🙋🏻‍♀️)
Or maybe you don’t have one at all, and you’re spending your time piecing lessons together each week.

It doesn’t have to be that way.

Little Kindergarten Science Thinkers was created to make science simple, engaging, and manageable.

It’s a complete, ready-to-teach science curriculum and this one is designed specifically for kindergarten, so you can spend less time planning and more time actually teaching.

The curriculum is aligned to NGSS and the 2024 Texas TEKS, and incorporates key kindergarten science topics no matter where you teach:

Unit 1: Our Senses
Unit 2: Seasons and Weather
Unit 3: Properties
Unit 4: Plants
