Dirt, sky, seasons and wonder
Preschool earth science is all about noticing the world outside. Little ones learn that we live on Earth, which has land, water and sky. They watch the weather and the seasons change: leaves fall in autumn, snow comes in winter, flowers bloom in spring. They notice the sun in the day and the moon at night, and they dig into rocks, soil and dinosaur bones. They also learn to take care of Earth by recycling. The click is when kids start telling you what season it is and why.
Science for little ones is about wonder and words. Get outside whenever you can!
Play the seasons song every morning during your unit, with hand motions for each season. Then step outside and ask "Which season does it look like today?" A song gives preschoolers the words before they can read them.
Why it works: a catchy, repeating tune gives the brain a hook to hang words on, so sung text is remembered better (Wallace, 1994).

Why it works: the U.S. Department of Education's guide for teaching elementary math recommends moving from hands-on objects to drawings to numbers.

Why it works: pairing a picture with each word gives kids two ways to remember it, a well-tested principle of how people learn (Mayer, 2009).

It's learning about the world around us: weather, seasons, the sun and moon, rocks, soil and water. Preschoolers learn by watching, touching and talking about what they see.
Use what's outside! Collect leaves in fall, feel snow in winter, plant seeds in spring. Pair it with a song and pictures so kids can name each season.
Rock sorting, mud play, weather charts, dinosaur digs in sand, and watching the moon from a window. Simple, hands-on activities work best.
It shows kids they can take care of the Earth. Sorting recycling also practices classifying, a big early science and math skill.
