Young scientists learn by observing, and these kindergarten science worksheets are built around the NGSS performance expectations for the grade: observing and sharing 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 worksheet supports one performance expectation with drawing, sorting, and observation prompts suited to five-year-olds, and the aligned NGSS code is listed with every topic on this page, so you can slot a worksheet straight into the matching unit without checking the standards document yourself.

Teachers use them to follow up a hands-on investigation, whether that is recording what the class noticed about today's weather or sorting pictures of what a plant needs, and as science center activities that run themselves. Every page is free to download. If you sign up to Chalkie, which is free and requires no credit card, you can also edit the questions or regenerate a version tailored to your class.
