Science center preschool

The science center in my classroom is always a busy place. Students can observe, experiment, create, construct, classify, compare and question. Students are natural-born scientists. They are curious and eager to explore the world and everything in it! As teachers, it is our job to nurture their scientific spirit and help students form questions, investigations, collect data and share their conclusions. Make your science center amazing to enhance their experiences! Plus, I have a few freebies…

One thing readers most request is inexpensive (or free) teaching materials. Here is the first “Teach with Trash” idea, and I plan to have more to come. This is a science activity using empty tissue boxes. You can either save empty ones as they are used up at school, or ask parents to send them in. You only need six empty tissue boxes. The tissue boxes will be used to

Which objects sink, and which objects float? This science exploration is a great way for preschoolers to learn how our world works. Just gather materials (all objects you can find around your home/classroom) and test whether objects sink or float. Add these sink or float cards as a visual sort in your science center. Each card comes with a picture and a word for students to easily sort on their own. Perfect water science activity for your ocean theme or anytime! Here's what you'll get (in…
