How to guide children's ability to recognize seasonal characteristics
Scientific inquiry

Educational suggestions:

1. Always bring children into contact with nature to stimulate their curiosity and desire to explore. For example:

Provide children with some interesting inquiry tools, and use their curiosity and enthusiasm to infect and drive them.

Discover and share new and interesting things or phenomena around you with your children, and look for answers to questions together.

Keep and accumulate interesting explorations and discoveries by taking photos and drawing pictures.

2. Sincerely accept, support and encourage children's exploration behavior in many ways. For example:

Take children's problems seriously, guide them to guess and think, and do some simple investigations or interesting experiments with children when possible.

Tolerate children's behavior of soiling, messing up or even destroying things due to exploration, and guide children to clean up after activities.

Choose some operable, diverse and multifunctional toy materials or waste materials for children, and encourage children to disassemble or make toys themselves on the premise of ensuring safety.

Educational suggestions:

1. Consciously guide children to observe things around them, learn the basic methods of observation, and cultivate the ability of observation and classification. For example:

Support children's spontaneous observation activities and appreciate their findings.

Ask questions to guide children to constantly think and compare things.

Guide children to try simple classification and summary on the basis of observation and exploration. For example, animals are classified according to their modes of movement, plants according to their growing environment, and objects according to their external characteristics.

2. Support and encourage children to actively use their hands and brains to find answers or solve problems in the process of inquiry. For example:

Encourage children to ask questions worthy of further exploration based on observation or discovery, or adults to ask meaningful questions that can stimulate children's interest. For example, are balls, tires, bamboo tubes and other objects rolling in a straight line? How to make the plasticine ball float on the water?

Support and encourage children to boldly associate, guess the answer to the question and try to verify it. For example, when playing a windmill, encourage children to guess the reasons and conditions of the direction and speed of the windmill, and actually verify it.

Support and guide children to learn to explore and solve problems with appropriate methods, or collect evidence for their own ideas. For example, if you want to know how many kinds of plants there are in the yard, you can investigate them on the spot; Want to know whether the ball rolls fast on the flat ground or on the slope, you can try it. In order to prove that the direction of the shadow is related to the position of the sun, we can do a small experiment to verify it.

3. Encourage and guide children to learn to make simple plans and records and share them with others. For example:

Make a survey plan with your child and discuss the subjects, steps and methods of the survey. Or try to present the plan with pictures, arrows and other signs with your child.

Encourage children to record the process and results of observation and exploration by drawing, taking photos and making specimens. Pay attention to making records meaningful, help children enrich their observation experience, establish connections between things and share their findings through records.

Support children to explore and share with their peers, guide children to try to sort out and summarize their own exploration results, and experience the fun of cooperative exploration and discovery. For example, discuss and share your own problems and findings together, and work hard to collect information and verify guesses.

4. Help children review their own inquiry process, discuss what they did, how they did it, whether the results are consistent with the planned goals, analyze the reasons and what to do next.

Educational suggestions:

1. Support children to accumulate beneficial direct experience and perceptual knowledge in contact with nature, biology and phenomena. For example:

Through outdoor activities, visits, planting and feeding with children, we can perceive the diversity and uniqueness of organisms, as well as the process of growth, development, reproduction and death.

Provide rich materials and suitable tools for children, and support children to explore and perceive the characteristics of common materials and materials and the structural characteristics of objects during the game.

2. Guide children to think in inquiry, try simple reasoning and analysis, and find obvious connections between things. For example:

Guide children over 5 years old to pay attention to and think about the significance of the external characteristics, habits and living environment of animals and plants to their survival. For example, the long ears of rabbits have the function of self-protection; The shape of plant seeds contributes to its spread, etc.

According to the characteristics of common materials and the structural characteristics of objects, guide children to speculate and confirm their uses. For example, objects with wheels are easy to move; Vehicles with different uses have different structures and so on.

3. Guide children to pay attention to and understand the close relationship between nature, scientific and technological products and people's lives, and gradually know how to love, respect and protect nature. For example:

Combine children's life needs and guide them to understand the dependence between man and nature, animals and plants. Such as: the relationship between animals and plants, seasonal changes and people's lives, and the impact of common disastrous weather on people's production and life.

Discuss the uses and disadvantages of common technology products with children, such as the convenience brought by vehicles such as cars and the pollution to the environment.
