When I saw this post from Dirt & Boogers, I knew that it was something that would be perfect for our preschoolers!
Each student had a tray of baking soda. This turned into a great sensory experience as they experienced the texture of the soda.
Then we mixed bowls of vinegar and food coloring. The students used little medicine droppers to drip the vinegar onto the baking soda tray. Terrific fine motor practice!
Look at those fine motor muscles at work.
They also experienced a little color theory as the colors mixed together and made new colors on the tray.
Quick and easy science experiments are perfect for preschoolers. Science experiments that also allow for sensory experiences and fine motor practice are even better!
Have fun playing and learning with your children today.
Where did you get your trays? I want some just like that!
ReplyDeleteI've had them forever, and I cannot remember where I bought them! We use them all the time, and I hope that you are able to find something similar.
