Efi Chatzilia, Kindergarten Armenochori, Greece
November: On the occasion of Damla's history, we implemented actions that focus on saving water when watering crops, on getting to know different irrigation and water supply systems, as well as on the construction of an irrigation system and a bridge.
Science: the children are concerned about the ways of watering the fields. They conclude that we should choose the appropriate means of watering so as not to waste water. They experiment with watering with a bottle and a sprayer.
-Children experiment and discover that different types of soil (soil, sand, pebbles) absorb different amounts of water.
Technology: “How does technology help farmers?”
Objective: Understanding the role of technology in agriculture.
Children watch pictures and a short film with modern irrigation systems (sprinklers, sensors, pipes).
Discussion follows: “How can we use robots or sensors to water plants only when they need them?” Children activate their imagination and draw smart robots that water plants only when needed.
MECHANICS – “Construction of an irrigation system”
Purpose: Development of technical thinking and cooperation.
Children design a modern irrigation system through which water can reach from the “tank” to the “plants”.
-Τα παιδιά σχεδιάζουν και κατασκευάζουν μια γέφυρα για τη Damla, δουλεύοντας σε ομάδες. Αρχικά, κάθε ομάδα αποτυπώνει στο χαρτί τον σχεδιασμό της γέφυρας που επιθυμεί να δημιουργήσει. Στη συνέχεια, τα παιδιά συνεργάζονται, συζητούν και επιλέγουν τα κατάλληλα υλικά που θα χρειαστούν. Ακολουθεί η κατασκευή της γέφυρας σύμφωνα με τον αρχικό σχεδιασμό, με τα παιδιά να προχωρούν σε δοκιμές και απαραίτητες διορθώσεις μέχρι να επιτύχουν το επιθυμητό αποτέλεσμα.
