Nebraska Kindergarten Science: What Your Child Will Learn

Kindergarten science in Nebraska lays the groundwork for a lifetime of scientific thinking. Students begin exploring how the world works through hands-on concepts like weather patterns, the properties of materials, and the differences between living and non-living things. These early science skills align to Nebraska's science standards and prepare students for more advanced topics in 1st grade and beyond.

Core Topics in Nebraska Kindergarten Science

Weather and seasons: Students observe how weather changes day to day and how seasons affect the world around them.
Living and non-living things: Kindergarteners learn to identify what makes something alive and how living things grow and change.
Physical properties of materials: Students explore how objects can be described by color, shape, size, and texture.
Forces and motion: Basic concepts like pushing and pulling help young learners understand how things move.
Earth and the environment: Students discover how plants, animals, and people interact with their surroundings.
