ONE COMPLETE SYSTEM

Integrated materials for meaningful science instruction.

Science Yitz combines standards-aligned materials and instructional guidance for every Kindergarten NGSS performance expectation through investigation, engineering design, problem solving, and scientific communication.

10COMPLETE KITS

ALL HANDS-ON MATERIALS INCLUDED

One standard. One coordinated kit. Everything together.

Each kit brings the age-appropriate materials and 20+ activity cards for one NGSS performance expectation into a single, organized instructional unit. Teachers are not left coordinating separate supply lists, disconnected resources, or numerous moving parts.

Every Kindergarten NGSS standard

Each kit is directly aligned to one performance expectation, creating a complete Kindergarten science program across physical, life, Earth, and environmental science.

Active, inquiry-based learning

Students develop understanding through observation, prediction, testing, comparison, engineering design, communication, and evidence-based problem solving.

Aa

Performance-based assessment

Each kit includes an NGSS Performance Task card as its primary assessment. The Teacher Guide supports administration, while the Teacher Gradebook records student performance and next steps.

ALL 10 KINDERGARTEN STANDARDS

TEACHER-FRIENDLY BY DESIGN

More time to facilitate discovery—not manage moving parts.

For each standard, the materials, activity sequence, and teacher guidance are coordinated in one kit. With fewer separate pieces to source and organize, teachers can focus on keeping children engaged, encouraging collaboration, and extending student thinking. Performance Tasks and the Teacher Gradebook provide consistent tools for observing, documenting, and responding to student learning throughout the kit.

BUILT TO KEEP DISCOVERY GOING

Meaningful science learning—at school or at home.

Science Yitz gives children a reason to continue investigating beyond one completed activity. Familiar materials, varied challenges, and repeated opportunities to apply ideas help understanding become deeper and more durable.

Materials for repeated exploration

Many of the durable hands-on materials can be used again across multiple activity cards, allowing children to revisit ideas, try new approaches, and improve previous designs.

Classroom or homeschool

The coordinated kit format supports teacher-led small groups, center rotations, partner work, and homeschool science without requiring a separate collection of supplies and resources.

Activities children want to continue

Open-ended investigations and collaborative challenges invite children to keep building, questioning, testing, and talking—the repeated scientific practice through which real understanding develops.
