Kindergarten scientists observe, ask, and try things out — and the NGSS is built around exactly that. These kindergarten science lessons cover the core K-level performance expectations: observing local weather conditions (K-ESS2), describing what plants and animals need to survive (K-LS1), investigating pushes and pulls (K-PS2), and modeling how living things depend on the places they live (K-ESS3).

Each lesson is a slide deck that anchors a hands-on session: big visuals to spark discussion, simple investigation steps, and talk prompts that get five-year-olds sharing what they notice. You present the slides; the students do the science.

Every deck is editable in Chalkie, so you can localize the weather examples to your own town, swap in animals your class loves, or shorten a lesson for a tight schedule. Preview them free and adapt as much or as little as you like — and skip the hours it takes to build slides from scratch.
