I keep a small science spot on the kid's lunch table. Right now it's two small pumpkins on a plastic tray from the $ Tree that has pictures of leaves all over it.

There are also two magnifying glasses, colored leaves, & gourds on the tray. I have also had out a bigger pumpkin, washable markers and a wet sponge to draw on faces and then wipe off.

Recently I had a 16 oz. soda bottle with pipe cleaners cut up in it, & one with large paper clips in it. These are sealed toughly with super glue and then electrical tape wrapper around the lid. I had two magnet wands set out with this.

In Nov. I set out real wild turkey feathers and magnifying glasses.

In dec. I put out different things for the five senses.

I out out something different every month...sometimes more often. I keep it simple.

I love preschool science!
