Easy Science Experiment

I am all about easy science experiments that my preschooler can engage in and learn through.  This simple preschool science experiment is probably one of our all time favorites that we’ve done several times.  This time we decided to make snowflakes out of the coffee filters to decorate her school room with!  STEM preschool activity

We tried to stick to colors that would be wintery and “snow” like…but of course my preschooler had her own thoughts and input!  I did have to help her with some of the cutting…so depending on your preschooler or kindergartner you may have to have some hands on with cutting.  Preschool Science

Materials Needed for the Science Experiment:

  • Non permanent markers aka Washable markers!
  • White coffee filters
  • Cups of water

Once you have stepped through making your colorful coffee filter science and let these dry…

Don’t forget to spark your little preschoolers minds to think through what they are doing and making through this science experiment.

Ask them questions even if it’s simple as what materials you used, what colors, what shapes and then talk to them how the water is agent in which to travel through the coffee filter.

You’ll want to then cut your coffee filters into snowflakes…how?

Fold your coffee filter in half, half again and half again until it’s pretty small…easy science experiment

You’ll then want to begin cutting small “v’s” and slits into your folded coffee filter…small cuts make amazing shapes when unfolded!  easy science experiment toddler science experiment

Next take your snowflake and unfold it and see the beauty!  As you know God created every single snowflake differently and you’ll find that even when you cut your snowflakes they are all so different, I think that’s part of the fun of creating snowflakes with this easy science experiment.
