Preschool science activities on weather, plants, senses and experiments

Preschool science becomes a happy adventure with this undated 21 page pack for little explorers of roughly three to five. Topics include the weather and seasons, plants, the five senses and animals, along with several easy experiments. You download it instantly as a PDF in US Letter and A4.

Inside are cut and sort sheets, a daily weather chart, a journal for growing a bean and an adult guide with six experiments to try at home. Big line drawings invite coloring, and trace words add early letter practice. Nothing is shipped.

How these preschool science pages spark curiosity

Each morning your child can mark what the sky is doing, keep a little graph of rainy and sunny days, sort seasonal pictures into place and follow a real bean as it sprouts inside a jar, sketching every change. The magnet hunt and the sink or float sheets teach a scientist's habit: make a guess, then test it. An open observation journal welcomes any question your child invents.

For you there is a guide that walks through each page, suggests good questions to ask and explains how to keep every experiment safe. That leaves you free to relax and wonder together.

Good to know

• This PDF is designed to be printed, and it is not a hyperlinked digital planner. Most note taking apps can import it so you can write on the pages.

• For your own personal use. Sharing, reselling or redistributing the files is not allowed.
• Digital files cannot be returned. If a file will not open or print properly, email us and we will sort it out quickly.
• Every experiment and activity needs a supervising adult. Magnets, paper clips, buttons, coins and beans can cause choking in young children, so choose one big child-safe magnet and put little objects away once you finish. A child should never be left alone near water.
• The pack is a home or classroom learning activity and is not a replacement for a school curriculum.
