Tennessee Kindergarten Science Curriculum Overview

Tennessee Kindergarten science gives young learners their first structured look at the natural world. Students begin exploring life science by observing plants and animals, identifying basic needs, and noticing how living things grow and change. Earth science topics introduce weather patterns, the sky, and properties of earth materials like rocks and soil. Physical science concepts cover the basic properties of objects, including size, shape, color, and how objects move.
