Efi Chatzilia, Kindergarten Armenochori, Greece

The impetus for the activities was the continuation of our story: “Damla carefully observed the strong winds blowing around the Aral Sea. The wind lifted fine grains of sand and salt into the sky. Damla learned that these grains reached the distant mountain glaciers, darkening their snow-white surfaces and making them absorb more sunlight. That is why the glaciers were melting so quickly.” How can the transport of sand and salt be prevented in order to protect the glaciers?”

Science:

1. We placed dry soil in one container and wet soil in the other.The children touch, observe and ask themselves:“Which is harder?” “What happens to the soil when water is added?” They understand that water holds the soil together.


2. The children experiment: They blow on dry sand with a straw and observe how it is carried away by the wind. Then, they blow on wet sand with a straw and observe that the water holds the sand.


Engineering - Technology: The children build a model with soil, trees and flowers. They try to build a wall with stones to protect the soil from being blown away by the wind. Then, they try to build a protective wall with plastic bricks.



Math: Children use a spoon to count how many spoons of sand are in each glass. They compare and record the number.

  A little drop named Damla visited our class. She told the children a story about a lake that had dried up. The children suggested  how to save water. The children watched the video about the water cycle and placed the pictures in the correct order so that the water cycle was formed. After that the children dramatized the water cycle through a theatrical play. The students drew on a worksheet the image of the rain that was missing from the rain cycle. They continued with STEAM activities.  Science We did in the class the experiment  "Rain Cloud". The students made the rain with water, shaving cream and tempera paint. They were amazed!! Technology The children played digital games about the water cycle and save water. Engineering The children constructed a dam using various materials such as a rectangular plastic container, plastic and wooden blocks, modeling clay, and small stones. They built a wall with the blocks to hold back the water, and around it they placed m...

EKİM AYI ÇALIŞMALARI-OCTOBER WORK SUYU TANIMAK- GETTING TO KNOW WATER- LESS WATER MORE FUTURE eTwinning projemize önce suyun döngüsünü tanıyarak başladık. Su döngüsü ile ilgili önerilen videolardan ilkini sınıfımızda izledik. We started our LESS WATER MORE FUTURE eTwinning project by first getting to know the water cycle. We watched the first of the suggested videos about the water cycle in our class. Dersimizde su döngüsü ile ilgili ikinci videoyu, "su koşulları"nı izledik. In our lesson, we watched the second video about the water cycle, "water conditions." "Su döngüsünde eksik kalan parçaların yerine ne konulmalıdır?" sorusuna cevap aradık. We sought an answer to the question, "What should replace the missing parts in the water cycle?" Su döngüsünün eksik kalan kısmına yağmuru çizerek su döngüsü çalışmamızı tamamladık. We completed our water cycle study by drawing rain in the missing part of the water cycle. Proje hikâyemizde bahsi geçen sor...

 Efi Chatzilia, Kindergarten Armenochori, Greece Activities of October  A little drop named Damla visited our class and shared a story with the children about a lake that had dried up. The students proposed ideas on how to save water. They then watched a video about the water cycle and arranged the pictures in the correct sequence to show how the cycle works. Afterwards, the children dramatized the water cycle through a short theatrical play. Finally, they completed a worksheet by drawing the missing image of rain in the rain cycle. The children depicted their ideas on how we can save water with drawings and created a poster.. Science The Water Cycle :  The children watched a video about the water cycle   Then   w e created rain in the classroom with the help of the rainmaker. The children represented the water cycle with their bodies. They drew the Water Cycle. The students drew on a worksheet the image of the rain that was missing from the rain cycle. Experime...
