Valentines Day Science Experiment

It’s all things Valentines Day at our house which means hearts galore, red and pink along with sparkles and glitter!  We’re having a blast doing lots of STEAM activities for preschoolers around Valentines Day.  We’ve engineered an “H” with hearts, we’ve done this Science experiment, we’ve had screen free coding activities along with pink marshmallows engineering different shapes.  It’s been fun and there’s more to come!!

In the meantime.

Valentine Candy Science Experiment

In this Valentine science experiment preschoolers hypothesize which liquid they think will dissolve a candy conversation heart the quickest and then we of course tested their predictions!

The liquids can vary, I just gave you an example of what we used, above.

  1. Place 3-4 conversation hearts in each jar. Valentines Day Science Experiment Valentines Day Science Experiment
  2. Fill each glass with equal amounts of liquids and label the container.  We just set the liquid container next to the glass we poured it in so the girls could visualize.STEAM Activities for Preschool Preschool Science Experiment
  3. Observe.  Between them observing they did some Valentines Math Mat Activities and engineered an “H” for heart.  
  4. I allowed them to use the spoons towards the end to see what liquids dissolved the conversation hearts and which didn’t.  They liked stirring and seeing the colors in the liquid as well.Valentines Day Science Experiment
  5. Remember through STEAM activities for preschoolers it’s all about engaging the learner with hands on activities but asking them a lot of questions to have them think about what’s happening!Preschool Science Experiment

Have fun and let me know what liquids you use and which dissolves the fastest!  I adapted this Preschool Science Experiment from this candy cane science experiment!
