I just love fall and fall science activities. The season is changing with beautiful leaves. There are acorns and nature to explore! The smells are amazing! Crisp fall air, apple orchards, and harvesting.
There are so many opportunities to experience fall with sensory-filled science experiments and hands-on activities. Fall themed science is a great way to learn about the many parts of fall we enjoy so much! Many of these science and STEM ideas are classics with a fall twist!
FALL SCIENCE ACTIVITIES AND EXPERIMENTS FOR KIDS
FALL THEMED SCIENCE FOR EARLY LEARNING!
Each link below shows how to’s of great fall science activities and experiments to try with your child. These fall science ideas also incorporate a great deal of sensory play and sensory system stimulation.
GREAT QUESTIONS TO ASK WITH THESE FALL SCIENCE ACTIVITIES
What do you see? What do you hear? What do you feel? What do you smell? Even what do you taste {like our apple 5 senses taste test!} What is happening? What would happen if…? Some Fall science experiments will use multiple sensory systems (not all are edible)!
OUR FALL THEMED EXPERIMENTS
Our favorite fall themes include changing leaves, apples, and pumpkins! We love heading out to the orchards and pumpkin patches as well as wagon rides. There is always so much to explore.

EXPLORE NATURE FOR FALL SCIENCE TOO!
Simply getting outside and going on a fall-themed scavenger hunt is a terrific way to start off a fall science lesson. You can collect samples to add to a fall-themed discovery table. We made these simple FALL DISCOVERY BOTTLES when we were hanging out in our backyard.
