Children from Rastočine kindergarten, Zvjezdice group, continued their research of natural colors with purple cabbage. In addition to studying the taste, lines and texture of cabbage, which turned purple with hot water, they used the cabbage as a natural indicator and learned how to change the color with lemon juice, soda, apple cider vinegar and dishwashing detergent.

As you know, Thursday is our "Green Teachers for

Green Kids" project day where we talk a lot tc

children about how to take care of the

environment!

Yesterday we talked about the Wetlands.

In February, the whole world celebrates Wetlands

day! We explained to the children how important

the existence of wetlands is for the environment.

I will briefly tell you how we explained to the

children:

Wetlands are areas where the land does not drain

well. The ground in a wetland is saturated or full of

water. Often the ground is covered with shallow

water.

Wetlands are usually classified as swamps,

marshes, or bogs. The different types of wetlands

nave different kinds of soil and plants. Both

swamps and marshes have soils that contain

many minerals. They differ in their plant life. Most

of the plants in swamps are trees, but marshes

have grassy plants. Bogs differ from swamps and

narshes because their soil has few minerals. Only

nosses and a few other types of plants can grow

in bogs

Wetlands play a major role

At Buteland Flemingsberg Preschool#= we

experimented on how to filter dirty water. To

experiment, we needed the following items:

Cotton

Dirty water

Chestnut

Paper towel

Paper filter

Plastic bottle

We started our experiment with an interview with

children, we asked questions

-can we drink dirty water?

The answer was from kids of course

-No!

Then we came up with a small story. Our story

started this way as if we were in the forest and

suddenly we were thirsty, unfortunately, we ran out

of clean water, and the forest was only covered

with snow, what should we do?!

Here we started our experiment

First, we collected the snow, and then we waited

for it to melt. The melt water turned out very dirty.

After we took a plasma bottle cut it in half, and put

the head upside down in the other half of the

bottle, where we put the above items inside one

after the other, after a while Clean waterThat's why we started by thinking of a story to

make it both interesting and fun for children.

Purpose:

To deepen knowledge

To develop interest

To learn new words.

Every time when it snows for the first time, we experience a feeling of surprise, a sense of wonder... How does snow appear? How mysterious, white and fluffy is it? You want to explore it, get to know it, feel it 😊.

Children were playing outside, enjoying the snow. Realized that its properties change in the heat, it becomes less fluffy, sticks, melts.

How quickly will it turn into water? Is the snow heavy? Is it really so white and clean?

The children experienced that the same amount of water is heavier than snow. After melting the same amount of snow-water, only a quarter remains...

It turns out that the snow is not as clean as it seems... When water drips, the snow changes its shape and melts faster. It's fun to study the snow, observe its changes, experience and discover it yourself 😊

On October 20, the Kockice group with teachers Dunja and Snježana celebrated World Apple Day. With the help of parents, we collected different types of apples and got to know the properties of apples: color, size, weight, texture, noticing differences and similarities. Then we did the STEM activities of making an apple stand out of wooden slats. The aim of the activity was to investigate the load capacity of a combination of slats by creating a base that will be stable and have the function of holding an apple.

We ended the activity by exploring the taste of apples and collecting vitamins for the winter

AIR PRESSURE AND AIR FLOW. Experiment. "Hanging water"

Measures:

tumbler,

water,

postcard

Experiment:

Fill a glass of water and place a postcard on it. Holding the postcard with one hand, turn the glass over. When you withdraw your hand, the postcard will stay attached to the glass and the water will not flow at all. If the glass is 8 cm high, each square centimeter of the postcard weighs 8 g of water (1 cm² of water weighs 1 g). The bottom air pressure is 1000 g per square centimeter. Thus, it is much heavier than the weight of the water and presses the postcard so hard against the edges of the glass that air cannot enter at all and water cannot escape.

'Geometric Detectives'

The Kockice group with teachers Dunja and Snježana created a detective game. The aim of the game was to introduce us to geometric figures: triangle, circle, rectangle and square. While walking and playing in the yard, we observed and looked for shapes. We paid special attention to the search for shapes created by nature. When we found them, we named them, which helped us get to know the nature that surrounds us better

Learning in nature, for nature...Learning from nature...The Kockica group spent a lot of time studying their environment and everything that nature offers us. We met many human inventions and realized that they all have their place in nature, that people just adapted them for use...And that is biomimicry

We have conducted many activities, which we present to you in three parts.

We are preparing for Easter. The first activity is "Painting Easter eggs". We used rice, food coloring, hard-boiled egg whites, and a polythene bag. While sitting in a circle, we not only participated in the process of printing eggs, but also watched what colors and patterns each friend made his margut. And how many joyful shouts of joy each new marguerite received! The second activity is "Easter eggs", decorated with colored rice. Yesterday we dyed real hard boiled eggs using rice. Today we decided to use material that is no longer needed, but still suitable for our work and creativity. After all, we learn to live while protecting the environment, using the same tools again and again.

Before Easter, the children and I did the experiment "Does the egg sink or float?" We used natural materials for the experiment: eggs, salt, water and plastic containers. During this experiment, we explained with the children what is needed to make an egg float on water. It turns out that water saturated with salt is able to lift even an egg, in fresh water the egg sinks.

On top of the water we empti shaving foam  ( all water needs to be covered) . On top of foam we drop some colour drops and wait for them to fall down... there goes rain...

Getting to know nature and its inhabitants is very important already at preschool age. Children learn about animals, their ways of life, the dangers that arise for animals when people behave irresponsibly and pollute the forest. We continue our acquaintance with the animal living in the forest - the hare. We discussed the structure of the hare's body, its appearance, its lifestyle, diet and place of residence. We decided to create a work of art "Hare".

Chestnut trees grow in our kindergarten yard. Children like to play with them.Chestnuts are a great tool for autumn activities, cognitive and creative abilities, fine motor skills development. The children learned that chestnuts are hard, brown, heavy, they can be played with, counted, and created with them. The children calculated how many chestnuts fit into rolls of different sizes, how long the worm was made of different amounts of chestnuts, weighed, and floated in the water. We will watch how the chestnut changes over the course of the year.
