The theme for today’s Stress-Free Sunday is SCIENCE with kids! Engineer and I love science, especially messy and explosive science. Some of our favorite science with kids activities include Hatching Chicks with Children, Eyedropper “Volcanoes”, Sensory Play with Pine Cones & Tree Branches, Shaving Cream & Cornstarch Messiness, and A Multi-Sensory Experiment with Jell-O.

We also had some wonderfully creative science with kids ideas at last week’s Stress-Free Sunday link-up! I know Engineer and I are going to have fun making We Made That’s GAK Recipe sometime soon! I think my preschool students would really enjoy Creative Connections for Kids “Let Us Plant Lettuce!” as part of our upcoming farm unit. Life with Moore Babies shared Princesses, Knights, Castles, and Fizzing Rocks — Engineer would love the fizzing rocks, and I love how it all ties into a great book by a favorite author. Montessori on a Budget’s Cleaning Bird Feeders is perfect for kiddos like Engineer who’re interested in birds.

Hands-On Science Materials

Everyone learns differently. But young children seem to be more interested in learning when they are able to connect with the subject. And that’s where hands-on science comes in! I find that letting children experience hands-on science gets them excited to explore various science topics. With that in mind, you might want to keep your classroom stocked with some great science materials.
