During the winter season, we can’t help but want to explore everything ice and snow!

And we love finding different ways to connect the winter weather throughout our curriculum.

As the weather gets chilly and the snow starts to fall, we find ourselves immersed in snowy fun! So we build our names with this Snowman Names activity and dive into science with our Ice Fishing experiment. And we decorate our classroom with adorable Snowman Thumbprint Art.

The winter wonderland is a great backdrop for all kinds of learning, including hands-on science lessons.

So we’ve created four January Science Experiments to connect science with a seasonal theme. Students can conduct science experiments, make hypotheses, ask and answer scientific questions and record their observations.

Are you looking for more ways to implement science across your curriculum with a January theme? Be sure to check out our January Science Mega Bundle.

4 science experiments for kids to do during January
