Teaching scientific concepts to young children poses unique challenges, so in our classroom, we use simple vocabulary and fun projects to keep them captivated!

Water rotation is an ideal introduction to rain formation, so we talked about where rain comes from and where it goes!

With paper towels, plastic droppers, bowls, and blue water, we practiced dropping rain on our “clouds” and then watched as it dropped into the bowls!

Hands-on activities such as these reinforce complicated concepts and allow your preschoolers to grasp how rain works!
