Letter V Activities – Preschool Science

Science is all around us, and it’s never too early to start teaching kids about the world they live in. By incorporating science into your letter V activities, you can help your child develop a love for learning and a curiosity about the natural world.

From exploring the properties of vinegar to learning about volcanoes, there are plenty of fun and engaging science activities that start with the letter V.

Whether you’re looking for hands-on experiments or simple sensory activities, there’s something for everyone on this list. So grab your lab coat (or apron) and get ready to have some fun with these letter V science activities!

This past week we have been having a lot of fun exploring Volcano’s. In fact, we learned a lot more this week than just the letter V. Let’s just say Science was a top priority for these boys.

Little B enjoyed putting together his own V book.

I think he did a great job writing all of his V words.

This Volcano learning pack was free from Me and Marie.

We read Volcano early reader books, and Magic school bus science books.

Exploring the Letter V Through Science

Science is a great way to introduce preschoolers to the letter V. Here are some fun science experiments that will help your child learn about the letter V.

Volcano  Experiment

Create a volcanic eruption experiment with baking soda and vinegar. This experiment is a great way to teach your child about chemical reactions. To do this experiment, mix baking soda and vinegar in a bottle. When the two ingredients mix, they create carbon dioxide gas, which causes the mixture to bubble and fizz. This reaction is similar to the way a volcano erupts.

Vortex in a Bottle

Create a vortex in a bottle with water and food coloring. This experiment is a great way to teach your child about how water moves in a vortex. To do this experiment, fill a bottle with water and add a few drops of food coloring. Then, swirl the bottle to create a vortex. Your child can observe how the water moves in a circular motion.

Vegetation Growth Study

Plant different types of vegetation and observe how they grow. This experiment is a great way to teach your child about the importance of vegetation. You can plant vegetables like tomatoes, carrots, and lettuce or flowers like violets and verbena. Your child can observe how the plants grow and learn about the different parts of the plant.

Viscosity Race with Liquids

Create a viscosity race with liquids like honey, water, and oil. This experiment is a great way to teach your child about the different properties of liquids.

To do this experiment, fill three jars with honey, water, and oil. Then, have your child observe how each liquid moves differently. Your child can learn about viscosity and how it affects the movement of liquids.

Vibrations and Sound Waves

Create a sound wave experiment with a rubber band and a paper towel roll. This experiment is a great way to teach your child about sound waves and vibrations.

To do this experiment, tie a rubber band around a paper towel roll. Then, pluck the rubber band and observe how the sound waves travel through the paper towel roll. Your child can learn about the different types of sound waves and how they travel through different materials.

Then we set out to experiment.

This is a fun and easy science experiement children of all ages.

They listened to Lava bubbling up.

I love happy faces and fun times while learning.

Next up, it wouldn’t be a Natural beach living learning week with out actually making a volcano. I used Black rocks from the Dollar Store, a Volcano tray like this one from Amazon (I actually like the one from Amazon better than ours). I also surprised the boys with Primary Science Sets . I added in some baking soda, vinegar, and food coloring, we were set.

The Learning Resources Science Set was totally worth getting. I’m so excited to have them(I purchased 2) this year to go along with our homeschooling.

By using these science experiments, your child can have fun while learning about the letter V.

I had happy boys this week.

Who would have thought starting off with the Letter of the week preschool would lead to all of this greatness?
