Teaching physical science for kindergarten level should be fun. Also, look at my page Kindergarten Homeschool Curriculum for more activities and ideas.

Besides teaching science covers a wide range of topics and many topics overlap.

Until a child reaches middle or high school grades, there is no need to break physical science down into branches.

For instance, physical science includes chemistry, physics, and astronomy.

Also, mathematics is a science.

Physical Science For Kindergarten: Free States Of Matter Pages

For example, at an early age you can teach children how many, how few, how hot, how cold, how large, how small, how far, and how near.

And one excellent way to teach physical science for kindergarten is by coloring.

Children are naturally curious about the world around them.

So, learning about the properties of matters should be a natural process.

WHAT IS MATTER

By this age children can distinguish between living and nonliving things.

They can observe water (a liquid) change to ice (a solid).

And matter is anything that takes up space and has weight, like the air we breathe and the water we drink.

Matter can change from one state to another one.

There are three main states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas.

Look at some easy definitions and items to use as examples.

WHAT IS A SOLID

A solid has a definite shape.

As your child grows you can explain that molecules are packed together closely. This will lead to a discussion of atoms.

For now, they understand that solids have definite shape and volume. They stay hard.

Here is a list of some solids to share with your child.

  • wood
  • rocks
  • ice (as long as it stays below freezing)
  • wooden blocks
  • toys like dolls
  • ball
  • book
  • crayon
  • pencil
  • fork
  • eraser
  • backpack
  • shoe

Then move on to what are liquids.

WHAT ARE LIQUIDS

Too, this concept is better illustrated by items. But liquids can flow and pour.

But a liquid takes the shape of its container.

Molecules are not packed as tightly and move around.

This allows liquids to flow.

Here are some examples of liquids.

  • orange juice
  • milk
  • syrup
  • dish soap
  • liquid glue
  • rain
  • water
  • river
  • honey
  • tea

Finally, move on to gases which may be a bit more difficult to explain because we can’t see them.

WHAT IS A GAS

However, we can see what they do.

But a gas does not have a fixed shape or volume.

Look at some ways to illustrate it.

  • Helium is used to blow up balloons.
  • When water boils and gets hot we see steam. That is a gas.
  • Air is what we breathe, and it is made up of gas.

Too, let your child explore with water, which is a liquid, then freeze to turn to ice, a solid, then boil to see the steam which is a gas.

Besides it’s better to see the states of matter in action for kids this age.
