Fall provides so many opportunities to teach preschool science--especially the seasons.
Go for a walk, and begin pointing out things that are changing--of course colors of leaves are the most noticeable.
The weather is changing too so there are many days you can't go outside so here is an option for observation skills.
Window Drawing
As the days get colder we enjoy, drawing on the windows. Use the crayola window markers.
Draw the trees with full leaves and day by day as the leaves fall erase a leaf, until the trees are bare.
I use this as a tool to teach about change, which also includes things around them and the environment.
You can also start a chart next to this and make a mark each time you erase a leaf. Then you can use your marks for numbers and counting fun.
