Melting Crayons with Preschoolers (States of Matter)

Autumn is one of my favorite times of the year. I wanted to stick with a fall theme and include pumpkins in our experiments.  Next week, we will explore what is inside them maybe do a little carving, but this week, I wanted to something different.  I have seen so many melting crayon ideas around and decided to combine science with art.

Creating Slime with Preschoolers Take One

Hello!  This week we did our first, of many, experiments with slime.  We had a BLAST!!

Here are the supplies we used: liquid starch, school glue, and food coloring. I had crafting sticks and other materials to create impressions. We also needed a large bowl and something to mix the solution, we used a paintbrush.

Discovering Absorption with Preschoolers

Kids spill a lot.  My kids spill something everyday, sometimes more than once.  They spill on their clothes, the floor, tables, you name it.  What are the best materials to help clean up the mess?  We had to find out.

Discovering Signs of Fall with Preschoolers

Since Fall is in full swing around here, we decided to go outside and check out the season as scientists!

Experimenting with Apples with Preschoolers

This week was all about apples! To prepare, we went apple picking. It was tough, but somebody had to do it 🙂  Thank you to Grandma for helping us out!!
