• Basic Needs and Characteristics: what living things need to survive and the traits that define plants and animals.
• Life Cycles: how plants and animals grow and change over time.
• Properties and Classification: describing and sorting objects by their physical properties.
• Basic Forces and Simple Machines: pushes, pulls, and the tools that make work easier.

How StudyPug Helps DE Kindergarten Science Students

When a kindergartner gets stuck on a science concept, StudyPug gives them a place to revisit it at their own pace. Every strand in the Delaware curriculum has its own set of lessons and practice problems, so a child who needs another look at life cycles or weather patterns can find exactly what they need without waiting for the next school day. For broader kindergarten science help, StudyPug covers all the foundational ideas in one place.

Parents can track progress across strands and use the Parent Assignments feature to keep learning connected to what the classroom is covering each week. Whether the topic is basic forces or sky objects, step-by-step explanations walk young learners through each idea before asking them to practice on their own.

Aligned to DE Kindergarten Science Curriculum

Delaware has adopted the Next Generation Science Standards, and every lesson on StudyPug is built around those same core ideas and science and engineering practices. Families looking ahead can also explore the DE Grade 1 science curriculum to see what comes next, or check the DE kindergarten math curriculum to support learning across subjects.
