About this course
Science Launch K is a free 12-week online science course for kindergarten. Kids use their senses to notice the world, push and pull things to make them move, feel how the Sun warms the land, find out what plants and animals need, and watch the weather. Each week has short lessons Monday to Friday and a Saturday Launch Lab the family does together, with a note for the grown-up.
