Alaska Kindergarten Science Standards
Kindergarten science in Alaska follows the Alaska science standards, introducing young learners to the natural and physical world around them. Topics include weather patterns, the needs of plants and animals, the five senses, and the properties of everyday materials. These foundational concepts prepare students for more detailed science study in later grades.
What Alaska Kindergarteners Learn in Science
Alaska Kindergarten students explore four main areas of science throughout the year:
- Earth and Space: Observing daily and seasonal weather patterns and understanding how weather affects daily life.
- Life Science: Learning what plants and animals need to survive, and how living things grow and change.
- Physical Science: Exploring the properties of objects such as size, shape, color, and texture.
- Science Practices: Asking questions, making observations, and describing findings — the building blocks of scientific thinking.
