Term Units
At Kindy Science, we ignite a passion for STEM in children aged 4 to 6 with engaging 30-minute weekly lessons, delivered over a 10-week term, designed to spark curiosity and a love for science.
Energy and Electricity
This unit allows students to build on their Energy and Electricity knowledge each week. They will experience different hands on activities weekly so they can engage with the content. Activities include: electrical generators, fruit batteries and basic circuitry.
Forensic Science
Over 10 weeks students will solve the mystery presented to them in the first lesson by revealing a different forensic technique each week. The students will get to experience different forensic activities and develop an evidence board to solve the crime.
Plant Science
This unit allows the students to observe the lifecycle of plant. They look at different types of plants to see how they grow (seed, bulbs, cuttings) and use microscopes and magnifiers to look more closely at cells. Insects are also covered in the unit as they are an important part of the plant lifecycle.
Optics and Light
Over 10 weeks the students learn about the physiology of the eye and how it works with the brain, the physics of light, and reflection and refraction. They use laser kits, prisms and mirrors to consolidate there understanding.
Solids, Liquids
and Gases.
This unit takes students through the smallest of particles- the atom. The play with model kits and make molecules of common substances and participate in different experiments and demonstrations to show the 3 states of matter.
Basic STEM Skills
An introductory unit that begins to train students to think from a problem solving and seeing perspective. Over 10 weeks students will participate in various STEM activities the encourage development of a different STEM skill. They will hypothesis, infer, observe and create.
The Human Body
Over 10 weeks students will learn the basics of the human body – skeleton, blood and circulatory system, respiratory system, digestive system, skin and staying healthy. Students will use different anatomical models and microscopes.
