Top 10 Preschool Science Activities of 2014
Preschool science activities are a common occurrence at Inspiration Laboratories. My goal for 2013 was to incorporate more science activities into our day. In 2014, we continued doing science and enjoyed sharing our activities and experiments with you. Here are the top 10 preschool science activities that were published in 2014 {plus I’ll share a few past ideas that were still really popular}.
Top 10 Preschool Science Activities of 2014
#1) Valentine’s Day Science Experiments and Activities – I gathered all of our Valentine science ideas into one post. Check it out and choose a few to try this year.
#2) 10 Ways to Make a Volcano with Kids – Every kid makes a volcano at some point. Did you know there are lots of different ways to make one?
#3) 15+ Ice and Snow Experiments – This collection is most popular in the winter when people are thinking of ways to experiment with snow. If you don’t have snow, you can make your own or use ice for many of the experiments.
#4) Snow and Water Science Experiment – This easy experiment was the most viewed activity of the year. It all started with a question posed by 4 year old Aiden.
#5) Christmas Science: An Oil and Water Experiment – This post isn’t even a month old, but it quickly became popular. It’s not just for Christmas. Change up the colors and use it any time of the year.
#6) Inventing a Bouncy Ball Machine – You saw this one on Aiden’s list of favorites yesterday. He wanted to make a “machine that drops bouncy balls” and this is what he created.
#7) Cars and Blocks Measuring Experiment – How far can a car push a block? Find out in this experiment.
#8) 20 Preschool Physics Experiments – Here’s a collection of some of our physics experiments. Browse the ideas and find an easy activity to do with your kids today.

Popular Preschool Science Activities of the Past
Frozen Vinegar Hearts – For the second year in a row, this was the most popular post. I’m not sure if it has anything to do with the movie Frozen being such a big deal this year or what. The frozen vinegar hearts are a Valentine science activity, but they have been popular all year long. Have you tried them yet?
Candy Cane Science Experiment – Here’s another holiday science idea. I wrote about it in 2013 for our Christmas Science Advent calendar. It’s a great way to use up candy canes if you have any left.
Baking Soda Science – Baking soda and vinegar ideas are always popular. Here are 20+ ideas for experimenting with baking soda. I’m sure we’ll be sharing more of these ideas in 2015.
Layering Liquids Density Experiment – I love how colorful this experiment is. Explore the concept of density using fruit juices.
Make a Hurricane – In his first how-to video, Aiden shows you how to make a model of a hurricane in a bowl. This is still my all time favorite post.
