Lesson Plan

Splish Splash Science

Engage Pre-K students in playful water experiments to explore sinking vs. floating, color mixing, and water movement—building observation skills, fine motor control, and early scientific thinking.

Young learners are naturally curious about water. This lesson strengthens fine motor skills, introduces basic science concepts like buoyancy and color theory, and fosters wonder through hands-on discovery.
