Nova Scotia Kindergarten Science Curriculum Overview

Kindergarten science in Nova Scotia lays the groundwork for a lifetime of curiosity and discovery. Young learners are introduced to the living world around them, seasonal patterns, and the properties of everyday materials. These early science experiences build observation skills and scientific thinking that Nova Scotia students will rely on throughout their education.

Key Topics in NS Kindergarten Science

Living and non-living things — students learn to identify and sort living organisms from non-living objects in their environment.
Seasonal changes — exploring how weather, plants, and animals change across the four seasons in Nova Scotia.
Properties of materials — observing and comparing objects by colour, shape, size, texture, and other physical properties.
Daily and monthly patterns — recognizing patterns in day and night, and changes in the sky over time.
