# Kindergarten: Science A course roadmap (science). Language: en. By @si. Licence: CC BY-SA 4.0. 0 of 18 concepts ready. In the app: https://ai.page/roadmap/ct-sci-kindergarten Part of: [Connecticut: Science](https://ai.page/roadmap/ct-sci.md) Goal: Connecticut academic standards: Science, Kindergarten ## 1. Energy in the Earth's Systems - [Seasonal changes](https://ai.page/c/seasonal-changes/index.md): Observe changes across the four seasons and describe weather associated with each season, including how day length varies ## 2. Heredity and Evolution - [Animals Everywhere](https://ai.page/c/animals-everywhere/index.md): Know that animals live all over the world — on land, in water, and in the air — and that every continent, even icy Antarctica, is home to animals, each suited to the conditions where they live ## 3. Properties of Matter - [Grouping Materials](https://ai.page/c/grouping-materials/index.md): Compare and group everyday materials based on their simple physical properties ## 4. Early learning experiences will support children to understand features of earth. - [Reducing Human Impact](https://ai.page/c/reducing-human-impact/index.md): Communicate solutions that will reduce the impact of humans on the land, water, air, and other living things in the local environment - [What Living Things Need](https://ai.page/c/what-living-things-need/index.md): Understand what plants and animals (including humans) need to survive: water, food, air, and suitable conditions - [Sunlight warms things up](https://ai.page/c/sunlight-warms-things-up/index.md): Make observations to determine the effect of sunlight on Earth's surface, noticing that sunlight warms the ground, water, and objects - [Local weather patterns](https://ai.page/c/local-weather-patterns/index.md): Use and share observations of local weather conditions to describe patterns over time, recording temperature, rainfall, and other conditions ## 5. Early learning experiences will support children to understand physical sciences. - [Heating & Cooling Changes](https://ai.page/c/heating-and-cooling-changes/index.md): Observe and describe that some materials change state when heated or cooled, and measure the temperature at which changes occur in degrees Celsius - [Choosing the Right Material](https://ai.page/c/choosing-the-right-material/index.md): Identify and compare the suitability of everyday materials for particular uses, explaining why specific materials are chosen for specific purposes - [Objects vs Materials](https://ai.page/c/objects-vs-materials/index.md): Distinguish between an object and the material from which it is made, understanding that objects can be made from different materials - [Pushes & Pulls](https://ai.page/c/pushes-and-pulls/index.md): Understand that pushes and pulls are forces that can change the speed or direction of an object's motion, and compare the effects of different strengths and directions - [Simple tests and experiments](https://ai.page/c/simple-tests-and-experiments/index.md): Perform simple tests and use observations and ideas to suggest answers to questions ## 6. Early learning experiences will support children to understand patterns, process and relationships of living things. - [Animal Life Stages](https://ai.page/c/animal-life-stages/index.md): Recognise that animals, including humans, have offspring which grow into adults, and describe basic animal life stages - [Offspring resemble parents](https://ai.page/c/offspring-resemble-parents/index.md): Observe that young plants and animals resemble their parents but are not identical, recognising inherited similarities and individual differences - [Grouping Living Things](https://ai.page/c/grouping-living-things/index.md): Recognise that living things can be grouped in a variety of ways based on observable features ## 7. Early learning experiences will support children to apply scientific practices. - [Changing Your Mind with Evidence](https://ai.page/c/changing-your-mind-with-evidence/index.md): Be willing to change your mind when evidence doesn't support your prediction — a result that surprises you is more valuable than one that confirms what you already thought - [Recording Data](https://ai.page/c/recording-data/index.md): Gather and record data using simple methods such as tables, tally charts, and drawings to help answer questions - [Asking scientific questions](https://ai.page/c/asking-scientific-questions/index.md): Ask simple scientific questions and recognise that they can be answered in different ways including observation, testing, and research ## Health: 0 of 100 Of its 18 own concepts: 0 have an explanation, 0 have practice, 0 have a measurement question, 0 have a checked version.
