Valentine’s Day Science Skills Activities

Have FUN for Valentine’s Day while reinforcing science skills that students need to practice all year long! These NO PREP Valentine’s Day science skills activities use the theme of the holiday to review graphing skills, practice making claims from evidence in data, and experimental design.

There are THREE activities included, each reviewing a different science skill:

1. Valentine’s Day Graphing Practice: Practice simple graphing skills! Students are given holiday-related data and use it to create 2 line graphs, 2 bar graphs, and 2 pie charts. Graph topics include:

• Gift types
• Rose growth rate
• Card sales through the years
• Plus more!

2. Valentine’s Day Scientific Method Review: Students review “If…Then” hypotheses, identify independent and dependent variables, and practice experimental design – all with fun holiday themes.

3. Valentine’s Day CER & Data Analysis Practice: Get kids looking at Valentine’s Day-related data to practice both data analysis and making claims from evidence. Students will read a brief passage about a real-world science scenario, analyze a simple data table, and make a CLAIM based on EVIDENCE. Students do not have to make a claim “out of nowhere.” They are asked a pointed question that they answer in the CER format. This covers science-based holiday themes such as:

• Friendship Bracelets (How many strands withstand the most force?)
• Candy Conversation Hearts (How much food dye is used in each color?)
• Teddy Bears (Does age affect fabric wear?)
• Plus lots more!
