Grade K Science Curriculum
Grade K Science Curriculum
Westborough teachers use a combination of purchased science kits and teacher-designed curriculum that align with the 2016 MA Science, Technology, and Engineering Frameworks. We currently use FOSS, a research-based curriculum designed by the Lawrence Hall of Science at the University of California at Berkley, for some units in K-6 classrooms.
Animals 2x2: Students observe a range of animals in classroom habitats to learn what animals need to survive. Students explore the relationships between what animals need to survive and their environments.
Materials and Motion: Students explore the properties of materials and how those properties determine their uses. Students then use those materials to engineer structures and apply ideas of energy transfer.
Weather: Throughout the year, students make and record observations of local weather conditions. Students use their observation to predict changes in the weather during different seasons.
