Kindergarten students begin to develop observation skills as they learn about the five senses, the earth’s composition, and the basic needs of plants and animals.
Students perform experiments, develop scientific reasoning, and recognize science in the world around them. They build a model of a watershed, test how cell membranes function, track a hurricane, and analyze the effects gravity.
The Physical Science program introduces students to many aspects of the physical world, focusing first on chemistry and then on physics. The course provides an overview of the physical world and gives students tools and concepts to think clearly about matter, atoms, molecules, chemical reactions, motion, force, momentum, work and machines, energy, waves, electricity, light, and other aspects of chemistry and physics. Among other subjects, students study the structure of atoms; the elements and the Periodic Table; chemical reactions; forces, including gravitational, motion, acceleration, and mass; and energy, including light, thermal, electricity, and magnetism.
This is the second semester of a two semester course.

The life science curriculum invites students to investigate the world of living things—at levels both large and small—by
reading, observing, and experimenting with aspects of life on Earth. Students explore an amazing variety of organisms,
the complex workings of the cell, the relationship between living things and their environments, and discoveries in
the world of modern genetics. Practical, hands-on lesson activities help students discover how scientists investigate
the living world. Students perform laboratory activities and a full-unit investigation to learn about the application of
scientific methods.>
