From our teachers' playbook

Little scientists, big wonder

What do preschoolers learn in science?

Preschool science is all about wondering, noticing and asking "why?" Little ones explore the five senses, name body parts, watch the weather change and learn the four seasons. They meet animals and where they live, see plants grow from seeds, and practice healthy habits like washing hands. Most of all, they learn to observe and talk about what they see. The click moment is a child noticing something on their own: "The puddle is gone! Where did the water go?"

Our favorite ways to make science stick in preschool

Preschoolers learn science with their whole bodies: singing, moving, touching and looking. Here's how we do it.

Sing the seasons

Play the Seasons Song and give each child a picture card: a snowman, a flower, a sun, a leaf. When their season comes up in the song, they jump up and wave the card. Do it every month and watch them predict what's coming next.

Why it works: words set to a repeating melody are easier to recall than the same words spoken (Wallace, 1994).

Weather window

Watch the Weather Song together, then look out the window and pick the matching weather picture for the day. Keep a weather chart on the wall. By the end of the month kids can tell you which kind of day happened most.

Why it works: children learn more from words and pictures together than from words alone (Mayer, 2009).

Farm animal homes

Give kids a barn cut-out and pictures of animals. They decide which animals live on a farm and glue them in, then talk about the ones that don't belong, like a penguin. Sorting builds both science thinking and vocabulary.

Why it works: going from real objects to pictures to symbols is a core recommendation of the U.S. Department of Education's elementary math guide.

Questions teachers and parents ask

What science topics are taught in preschool?

Common preschool science topics include the five senses, weather and seasons, animals, plants, the human body and healthy habits. The focus is on observing, asking questions and talking about what kids notice.

How do you teach science to a 3-year-old?

Keep it hands-on and short. Let them touch, smell, pour and look closely. Ask open questions like "What do you notice?" and follow their curiosity.

What are easy science activities for preschool?

Sink-or-float tests, planting seeds, weather charts, nature walks with a magnifying glass and mixing colors with water are all simple and engaging.

Do songs help preschoolers learn science?

Yes. Songs help little ones remember new words like seasons and body parts, and the movement that goes with them keeps everyone engaged.

How can I do science with my preschooler at home?

Cook together, explore the backyard, watch the weather and ask "why do you think...?" Everyday moments are full of science.
