Chemical Science: 10 Lesson Plans + Summative Assessment and FREE Student WORKSHEETS (Foundation Year/ Kindergarten)

Kindergarten Chemical Sciences: Exploring Amazing Materials!

Ready to ignite curiosity with hands-on science? Our Kindergarten Chemical Sciences Unit: Exploring Amazing Materials! makes teaching the properties of everyday objects a joy for little scientists across Australia! This ready-to-use unit delivers engaging, sensory-rich investigations that align perfectly with the Australian Curriculum.

Discover the benefits of this unit:

• Effortless Delivery: With clearly defined objectives and explicit teaching content, you'll confidently guide your Kindergarten students through foundational chemical science concepts. Watch as they learn to identify and describe the fascinating properties of materials – from what makes something hard or soft, to why things sink or float, how some materials are shiny or dull, and which ones are magnetic or absorbent!
• Engaging, Hands-on Activities: Spark endless wonder with exciting, play-based investigations! From unwrapping "Mystery Box Materials" and "Material Sorting Fun," to splashing through "Sink or Float?" and creating beautiful "Texture Rubbings," your students will be actively exploring the world around them. They'll engineer structures with "Building with Blocks," create vibrant "Colorful Creations," discover the secrets of "Magnet Magic," conduct "Water Absorption Tests," and distinguish between "Shiny or Dull?" objects. The unit culminates in a "Material Collage" where they showcase all their new knowledge!
• Natural Assessment: Easily monitor student progress through embedded formative assessment opportunities. You'll observe their understanding as they describe material properties, make predictions, sort objects, and share their findings during these dynamic, hands-on lessons.
• Extension Included: Thoughtfully designed extension tasks provide exciting challenges for advanced learners. Encourage them to create class charts of materials and their properties, design simple experiments, or even build a classroom "Materials Museum," deepening their scientific inquiry.
• Real-World Connections: Help your students see science everywhere! This unit connects classroom experiments to the materials found in their own clothes, toys, and homes, building a strong foundation for scientific observation and an appreciation for the diverse world of materials that make up their everyday lives.

BONUS! FREE Student Worksheets: This unit includes ready-to-print (or use digitally) student worksheets! These are directly aligned with each fun, hands-on lesson, saving you even more precious preparation time and providing valuable visual learning activities for your students.
