Preparing Your Child for Preschool: More Preschool Science Experiments with Snow

In my last post, I mentioned how a great preschool science experiment is taking a small amount of snow inside and letting your child watch it melt. This science experimentation is a continuation from one listed yesterday.

In addition to taking one small cup or bowl filled with snow indoors, you may want to take more inside. What you will want to do is place these cups or bowls in different areas of your home. Have your child guess which cup or bowl filled with snow will melt the quickest. To add some variation to this experiment, place cups or bowls out in the open, in the freezer, in a dark cupboard or closet, near a source of heat, and so forth.

Preparing Your Child for Preschool: Preschool Science Experiment with Snow

In my last post, I outlined how there are a number of fun and educational activities that you can do outdoors with your child during the wintertime, especially if you have snow. One of those activities is outlined below.

A great preschool science experiment with your child involves teaching them how snow melts. In addition to simply explaining the process to your child, you can do your own science experiment.

What you will want to do is have your child collect a small amount of snow in a cup or a bowl. Bring that cup or bowl filled with snow inside with you. Let your child watch the snow melt right before their eyes.

To add educational value to this preschool science experiment use this time to educate your child on snow and why it melts.
