How to design science education activities in kindergartens
1. The goal of kindergarten science education activities

(1) is interested in things and phenomena around him, and has curiosity and thirst for knowledge.

(2) Be able to use all kinds of senses, use your hands and brains, and explore problems.

(3) The process and results of exploration can be expressed and communicated in an appropriate way.

(4) We can feel the quantitative relationship of things from life and games, and appreciate the importance and interest of mathematics.

(5) Love animals and plants, be close to the surrounding environment, be close to nature, cherish natural resources and have a preliminary awareness of environmental protection.

2. The content of kindergarten science education activities

The contents of kindergarten science education include natural science and mathematics.

The contents of natural science education include:

(1) Get in touch with the natural environment, get to know nature, and feel the beauty and mystery of nature.

(2) Explore common scientific phenomena around you and feel the convenience brought by science and technology to life.

(3) Understand the objects and materials around you, and discover the various characteristics and functions of objects and materials.

The contents of mathematics education include:

(1) Set concept learning, which classifies and compares items from the perspectives of size, shape, color and use.

(2) The concept of number is mainly understood within 10, including the perception, reading, writing and formation of logarithm.

(3) the sense of space of plane figure, three-dimensional figure, orientation and time.

3. Methods of kindergarten science education activities

Science education activities emphasize that children learn through interaction with material and operational activities, and they are doing middle school science instead of listening to science; Instead of watching the teacher's demonstration and listening to the teacher's language explanation, it is better to take the initiative to operate the material as the main learning method. It is necessary to guide children to find problems and find answers in operation, rather than pursuing fixed conclusions. In addition, natural science activities focus on individual learning, and each child learns through his own operational activities. The methods commonly used by children are as follows:

(1) operation method.

Operation method refers to the method that children fiddle with and operate materials (learning tools), explore, discover and learn in the process of interaction with materials, and gain scientific experience, knowledge and skills. Children must construct their own understanding of the material world, which can only be extracted from his sports and perceptual activities. Children are very curious and like to touch and fiddle with things. The operation method is not only beneficial to children's self-construction, but also conforms to children's psychological characteristics, and is the most important method in scientific activities. The operation method is mainly based on observation and experiment:

Observation means that teachers provide rich and operable materials and provide children with opportunities to observe and discover with multiple senses. Observation methods mainly include observation of individual objects and phenomena, comparative observation and long-term systematic observation.

Experimental method refers to the method of observing corresponding phenomena and changes through manipulated variable with certain instruments or equipment under manual control. Children's scientific experiments are often simple operational experiments. By fiddling with, manipulating and trying objects, we can find the characteristics and laws of things.

(2) Discussion method.

Teachers and children constantly communicate, interact, collide and inspire in observation, experiment and other operational activities, which makes the exploration activities perfect and in-depth.

(3) Data method.

Scientific learning is not only personal experience and verification, but also learning by consulting materials.

(4) Display method.

It is also a very important learning process to let children express their experiences and feelings in various forms and show the results of learning. Therefore, when designing science education activities, teachers should pay attention to giving children opportunities to express and communicate.

(5) Explain the demonstration method.

The demonstration method of explanation is to present abstract knowledge such as number, quantity and shape through the display and oral explanation of teachers' intuitive teaching AIDS. In the process of explanation and demonstration, we should pay attention to: first, the teaching AIDS of demonstration should be intuitive and easy for children to understand and accept; Second, teachers should explain the language concisely, vividly and easily.

(6) situational method.

Teachers create scenes containing the value of mathematics education, so that children's learning of mathematics knowledge can be closely combined with children's meaningful activities. This teaching method is the theme scene creation method. The creation of classroom theme scenes can be divided into two methods: life scenes and virtual scenes.

Because of the different contents, there are great differences in the choice of methods between natural science and mathematics research. Generally speaking, methods (2), (3) and (4) are more than natural science learning activities, and methods (5) and (6) are more than mathematics learning activities. Operation method is an important activity method of two kinds of mathematics activities.

Existing problem guiding strategy

Pay attention to formal design, lack of effective thinking on the effectiveness of guiding methods.

Sexual thinking. * Guidance methods serve the key and difficult points of activities.

When guiding children to communicate, we should pay attention to their behavior and grasp the key links of guidance.

Insufficient attention and summary to promotion.

First, the activity began-to stimulate interest in exploration. Create a scene (environment, language) concisely and directly for the theme.

B, in the process of activities-guide children to actively explore. Sensitive observation, guide children to observe and think, and fix the activities of observing and guiding children.

C. At the end of the activity-guide children to communicate and enhance the experience. Flexible educational wit, guide children to communicate, sum up experience and improve.

Communication method

Language description: the group (group) communicates their own practices, and the teacher guides the children to evaluate themselves.

2 process demonstration method: children demonstrate the exploration process and share their experiences with you.

(3) Display mode of works: Children can display their own experimental results records, paintings and photos at any time in kindergarten and at home, which can be put in the display column or bound to share with you.

④ Experience enhancement method: Teachers communicate with children according to their achievements, expand their understanding, provide new exploration directions, and guide children to think more deeply and explore more extensively.

Improve the effectiveness of communication

First, in communication, teachers should guide children to communicate their own explorations and discoveries in a complete language, and at the same time help children sum up and improve their experiences in time to constantly stimulate their desire for exploration.

Second, when guiding children to communicate, the instructions should be concise and clear.

Exodus: Can a bottle full of glass beads hold anything? (Yes, no) Then you can try. Why can you put it in? Large glass beads are too big to fit in, and small glass beads are too small to fit in. There is a hole in the bottle. This hole has a nice name "Gap". Guide children to explore further, and the instructions are concise and clear.

Third, guide children to communicate around the theme.

Ask questions around the theme and introduce the focus of children's discussion.

Two, design and organization of science education activities should pay attention to several issues.

1. Pursuing correct goals and value orientation

* Pursue the big goal that is conducive to children's lifelong learning and development, and pay attention to children's love and learning, that is, emphasize the cultivation of children's intrinsic learning motivation and interest, and emphasize the development of children's continuous learning ability.

Second, form a psychological atmosphere that encourages children to explore.

Give children the right to make mistakes.

B. Seek the child's true intention and understanding level, and avoid misunderstanding or hurting the child.

Respect and accept the opinions and interests of every child.

D give each child an encouraging evaluation, tap the unique value of each child's exploration activities, and let each child find something in each exploration activity and have a successful experience.

Third, support children's ideas and practices and promote the active construction of children's understanding.

1, the child has doubts (doubts).

2. Teachers support and encourage children to make use of existing experience to guess and explain.

3. Encourage children to act on objects according to their own ideas and try to solve problems by themselves.

4. Children can clearly see the results of the operation and get a direct and real experience.

5. Support and guide children to record and obtain information.

6. Guide and help children to draw conclusions based on facts and compare them with previous guesses to form an explanation.

Fourth, study more, think more and improve educational skills.
