Vasilki Skendou, Kindergarten Papagiannis, Greece: " December Activities"
"Reading the Story-Reflection"
We read the third chapter of the story, which focused
on industrial waste and water pollution. This was followed by a discussion, and
the students illustrated the solutions they suggest for reducing water
pollution.
"Science and Engineering-Filter construction -Experiment"
We cut a
plastic bottle in half, and the students placed a coffee filter, cotton,
stones, sand, and charcoal inside it in layers. Then, they poured dirty water
and observed how the homemade filter trapped the debris and dirt, resulting in
cleaner water.
"Mathematics"
First, the students measured the height of the dirty water using a ruler and recorded the number. Then, they poured the filtered water into a glass, measured its height with a ruler, and noted the value. Finally, they compared the two measurements and answered the questions: which glass contained more water and which contained less.
The children were divided into two groups and worked collaboratively. One group created a collage depicting a sea with polluted water, trash, waste from homes and factories, and dead fish. In contrast, the other group presented a sea with clean water, healthy fish, marine plants, and trees in the surrounding environment. Afterwards, the children compared the two collages, discussed the differences, and drew conclusions.
