In a classroom setting, there are many ways to engage toddlers and preschool children in age-appropriate science activities. This can be a fun and interactive way to introduce science concepts and foster a love of learning. Here are some ideas for activities that can be incorporated into a preschool classroom and spark a young child’s curiosity about science.
Science center: Set up a science center with age-appropriate books, materials, and tools for children to explore science concepts. This could include items such as magnifying glasses, objects from the outdoors, magnets, or simple science experiment materials.
Nature table: Set up a nature table where children can observe and explore different natural objects such as rocks, shells, and leaves. Encourage children to share their observations and talk about their discoveries.
