Standards Covered
- OGS.1.PS.4Open Global Science Standards 2026™ · Science · Level 1 / Kindergarten (Age 5) · KindergartenObserve and describe chemical changes and familiar reactions where substances transform into new materials, identifying everyday examples and observable indicators of reaction such as gas release, color change, or energy transfer.
- OGS.1.PS.1Open Global Science Standards 2026™ · Science · Level 1 / Kindergarten (Age 5) · KindergartenObserve, identify, and describe the observable physical properties of common objects and materials (such as texture, shape, color, flexibility, hardness, and natural versus human-made origins) and classify objects based on their properties and practical uses.
