Does science sound like a complicated topic for preschool and kindergarten? It doesn’t have to be!
First, you don’t need a lot of expensive supplies to conduct science experiments with kids.
- You can easily explore and discover with recycled materials, like a cardboard ramp or a crayon geoboard.
Second, you do need an infectious sense of wonder and curiosity.
- Invite kids to share your excitement for experimentation and observation by providing fun hands-on activities.
Encourage kids to explore their surroundings by engaging in activities that promote trail and error. Be prepared to respond to countless questions (even if we don’t always know the answers!)
This simple weights and measures preschool science activity has lots of opportunity to observe and compare results.
