Because of its importance for our\nlives the teachers of the kindergarten took the past two weeks to\nexplain everything about water to the children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Starting with the question\n\u201chow does water smell?\u201d the children learnt at first what water\nexactly is. Through different experiments they figured out that water\nhas no color, no taste and no smell. Based on this knowledge they\nlooked deeper at the construction of the water molecule. To\nunderstand how water is constructed every child built their own water\nmolecule out of plastic modelling mass. Their models consist out of\ntow red balls representing the hydrogen and one blue ball for the\noxygen. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the second week they\ntook a closer look to the circulation of water. In an easy language\nthe teacher explained the connection between the sunlight and the\ndevelopment of clouds and the following rain. To visualize it, they\nshowed videos and I had the honor to create a 3D model of water\ncirculation. Role games in which the children where the water and the\nteacher the sun explained in a playful way how everything works. The\nchildren also had the opportunity to draw the circulation of water on\ntheir own which helped them to understand how it works as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To round the whole topic\nup the second week ended with an excursion to the spring of\nVrontados. In the presence of the spring the children repeated all of\ntheir new knowledge and played some fun games with the water. A great\nrounding off of the water theme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
