K-5 Science Curriculum

  • The OHM BOCES Science Center offers science kits and digital resources for students in grades K-5.  Using hands-on experience, these kits are aligned to the New York State Science Learning Standards. Other important aspects of this service are staff development and technical assistance, in-depth kit workshops for new teachers and those who change grade levels, content development through workshops and curriculum review. 

    Curriculum materials are offered through the Agilix Buzz learning management system. Educators have access to lesson plans, presentation files, workbooks, journals, tutorial videos, student videos, live animal order forms and care guides, as well as Spanish workbooks and presentation files.

    Please contact sciencecenter@oneida-boces.org for further information.

    • The Light it Up Investigation Kit has 15 sets of materials for 30 students to work in pairs.
    • The Cloud in a Bottle Investigation Kit has 15 sets of materials for 30 students to work in pairs.
    • The What's In the Bag Investigation Kit has 15 sets of materials for 30 students to work in pairs.
    • The Circle of Life Investigation is a printable investigation that has no physical materials included in a kit.

    Our Intermediate Investigation Kits for Cool It and All Mixed Up will include consumable items only as the non-consumable items required can be found within or borrowed from Middle School or High School classrooms.  How's the Weather Up There? Investigation is a printable investigation and It's Alive! is microscope-based, so neither has physical materials to include in a kit.
