Colorful Explosions of Science!

My Project

It is very exciting to see the “WOW” on your students faces when you show preschoolers some fun science experiments. When we do volcanoes for V week and lava lamps for L week you begin to look into other science experiments to do in the classroom.

From the simple things like mixing colors and how a magnet works, preschoolers love science.

I would love to be able to continue to add other fun simple experiments into our weekly lessons. This week I hope to do the snow volcano since we just had a nice new layer of snow. Doing a volcano in the snow and being able to compare to the simple one in the classroom will be fun. Never knew I would use so much baking soda through the year. Slime is another fun experiment that requires baking soda.
