It’s never too early to start teaching science! Get your kindergarten through fifth-grade students started using these NOAA resources. We gathered lessons, activities, and other materials specifically for elementary educators from across the agency and our partners.

We note the approximate grade level and indicate when resources include a teacher’s guide, use real-world data, and support science standards. This collection includes just a fraction of what NOAA has to offer; see “additional resource collections” within each subject for even more materials.
