Children are naturally curious about flowers and trees, birds and animals, mountains and rivers, the sun, the moon and stars, storms, thunder and lightning, colorful rainbows, etc. Piaget said: Children are born scientists.
The contents of preschool children's education mainly include human body, natural ecological environment, natural scientific phenomena and science and technology education. So, how should teachers arrange science education activities?
Content arrangement of preschool children's education
1. The activities should be scientific and enlightening. When arranging the content of science education activities, we should choose the content that children can easily understand, so that children can have a superficial understanding of scientific knowledge through specific experiences.
2. The content of activities should be broad and representative, and the content of scientific activities should be broad and representative, so that children can obtain certain phenomena and cognition through operational scientific experiments and can use them by analogy.
3. The content of the activity should be seasonal and contemporary. Everything wakes up in spring, pink and green, thunderstorms in summer and snowy and foggy in winter, which is the law of nature's change. When choosing the content, we should combine the actual situation of the weather and choose the educational content flexibly.
Safe, abundant and easy-to-operate materials
Einstein said: "I have no special talent, I only have a strong curiosity." Curiosity is the intrinsic motivation for children to learn science. Children are naturally curious and good at exploring, which is an important way for children to acquire knowledge and experience.
1. The diversity and expressiveness of scientific materials stimulate children's divergent thinking. Children often have their own unique understanding of the world around them. When children operate scientific materials, there are few rules and regulations in their minds, which is where they give full play to their creative advantages.
The scientific materials in the Elf Children's Science Exploration Room are rich and varied, with more than 200 kinds of scientific equipment and more than 200 kinds of scientific games for children to choose from. The course system covers scientific contents in the fields of sound, human body, biology, magnetism, electricity, light, power, machinery, architecture, measurement, air, water, earth, celestial bodies and modern science and technology.
2. Applicability of scientific materials. Appropriate scientific materials can bring children a sense of success, make them feel confident and stimulate their interest.
The science textbooks in the Elf Children's Science Exploration Room are suitable for children's age and are divided into three years and six semesters, namely, primary school, middle school and large class. The operation of each textbook has a corresponding science curriculum, which conforms to the laws of children's physical and mental development and learning characteristics.
Why can't the rabbit's ears bear the scientific common sense brought by scientific stories?
Rabbits often prick up their ears like two catcher. Rabbits can improve their hearing with big ears. In hot weather, they pricked up their ears to dissipate heat. Some people like to hold their ears when catching rabbits, because they are made of cartilage, which is very delicate and easy to get hurt, leading to drooping ears and affecting hearing.
Why do some plastics conduct electricity?
Generally speaking, plastics are non-conductive and insulating materials, but some plastics can conduct electricity. This special plastic can conduct electricity like copper, silver, aluminum and other metals. Why? It turns out that if some elements such as iodine are mixed into plastics, their insulating properties will change and they will become conductive materials.
How does sunlight generate electricity?
The sun is under pressure. When it shines on some materials, these materials will form a strong internal electric field, leading to electron overflow. If some holes are made on the other side of the material in advance, these electrons will naturally move to the holes, thus forming a current. When the current is on the way to the "hole", it will be intercepted, collected and stored, which means that the sun has already generated electricity.
Is the blood of cold-blooded animals cold?
Birds and mammals are called warm-blooded animals, while reptiles, amphibians and fish are called cold-blooded animals because they have relatively perfect body temperature regulation mechanism and can keep their body temperature relatively stable when the environmental temperature changes. For example, in the early morning of summer, the snake's body temperature is 25℃, but it may become 40℃ at noon.
Science is around children, and children will encounter all kinds of things and see all kinds of phenomena every day; These things and phenomena are the objects of children's scientific exploration, and children are natural scientists; To discover and explore the world.
Elf early childhood science-early childhood education is life itself, and life and experience are the soul of education.
