Do you need some FUN science activities to do the week of Valentine’s Day? These 5 science stations are engaging, educational, and interactive! See them now.
These are perfect for 4th grade and 5th grade.
I recommend planning for 2 hours to give directions, complete all 5 stations, and reflect on learning.

“I needed some fun activities for Valentine’s Day that were science-based and kept my students engaged and happy. They *LOVED* these stations and had such a great time learning. Thank you!” -Michael S.
“This was a really fun Valentines themed unit. I used it as stations where students could rotate through the activities. They were super engaged.” -Dee H.
“Love, love, loved this! I do special science days for each holiday, and this was a great set. I used it with my students from 3rd through 6th grades and they were all engaged! The set up was minimal and most of the supplies I already had on hand. Great way to review concepts for 5th grade STAAR as well.” -Keri M.
