Life is full of mysteries. Curious phenomenas happen all the time.
All their spontaneous curiosity should be taken to go further.The educator must preserve every opportunity to guide the group into their interests.
Many scientific books provide answers to physicals and chemicals phenomena questions, by the exploration and experimentation of the science’s law.
In this workshop we were challenged. And all that work led me think.
During the field trip to Navet Science Center some physical and chemical experiments books were introduced to the group. A lot of scientific projects can be developed from a book. Experience books allow the reader to test step by step the physicals and chemicals knowledge that regulate the Universe. Navet is a very special place. It has only one rule: It is EXTREMELY FORBIDDEN TO PUT THE HANDS IN THE POCKETS!In this special place, children are free to try, to test, to create and recreate scientific’s laws.After listening a story we split up into groups and build catapults using objects from daily life:1 milks carton box, plastic spoons, pencils, rubbers bands and marshmallows.When every catapult was already done we had a little competition between the creations. This kind of healthy competition it is a really joyful thing to do with a group of children.
When a pedagogue reflects with a group about a scientific activity should use right terms to get the group familiar with scientific language.Shadow is a mysterious shape that follows us everywhere. It is stuck into the floor, into the walls, walks beneath our feet and sits beneath us. Sometimes it changes position. Sometimes it's hard to find it. Sometimes it disappears.Children have such a pleasure when playing with shadows. During the second part of the field trip we created a city of shadows, using milk cartons box and cardboard boxes. To get a better projection of the silhouettes, child has to try the materials throughout the space, to depart or to approximate the objects from the fabric and playing with the lamp´s position and intensity. It is experiencing the world that the child will start to learn more about its phenomenas.
After all, no one knows the rain so well as the one who walks underneath it!
