Scientific Explanation

Cats’ fur colors are determined by genetic pigments and how these pigments are distributed in their hair. There are two main pigments: eumelanin, which creates black or brown shades, and pheomelanin, which produces orange or red tones. Many different genes control how these pigments are made and mixed, creating cats with many colors and patterns. For example, the orange gene on the X chromosome makes some cats orange or even three-colored (calico). White fur appears when pigment cells do not reach certain areas of the body. This genetic variety makes cats one of the most visually diverse pets in the world.

Child-Friendly Explanation

A cat’s fur colors are like being painted with magic colors. Inside every cat, there are tiny color dots that give their fur its shade. One kind of color makes black and brown, while another makes orange and red. The cat’s body mixes these colors together, just like an artist painting a picture! Some cats have a special orange gene that turns their fur a bright orange color. White cats have no color in some places because the paint doesn’t reach there. So every cat’s fur is like a magical book of colors written just for them.

Open-Ended Questions

1) If you could design your own magic cat, what colors and patterns would you choose, and why?

2) Do you have a pet cat? If yes, what color is it, and would you like to change its color?

Activity

We can do a wonderful activity using a digital camera. We can take the children to a forest, park, or school yard and give each of them a camera to take pictures of cats they see in different colors. Then, we can upload these photos to the computer, project them on the screen, and talk about the colors of the cats each child photographed. We could even ask them what names they would like to give to these cats.

Scientific Explanation

Squirrels hiding their food underground or in tree hollows is a survival strategy known as food caching. They mostly use the scattered storage method; this involves spreading food across hundreds of different locations rather than keeping it in one place, thereby distributing the risk. This storage creates fat and carbohydrate reserves to be used during winter months or times of food scarcity. Squirrels use an extraordinary spatial memory to find their stored food and rely on visual cues and their sense of smell to pinpoint the exact location. Forgotten seeds then sprout, taking on the role of seed dispersal in the ecosystem, or in other words, reforestation.

Child-Friendly Explanation

Squirrels store emergency food to avoid starvation when snow falls in winter and food becomes scarce. Instead of placing all their nuts in one spot, they create hundreds of different small hidden stash points to minimize risk. Squirrels have a very special memory and can find the places they have stored food by looking at the large trees around them or using their sense of smell. This is their secret to staying safe and surviving throughout the cold winter.

Open-Ended Questions

1) Imagine you are a little squirrel. Months later, when winter comes, how would you find the nuts you had hidden?

2) If you were a squirrel, what food would you collect for winter? Why?

Activity

Using a plastic plate, we will draw a big circle on the cardboard. This will be our squirrel’s face. We will cut out two eye holes according to the children’s faces. Then, we can draw a small triangle for the nose and help the children cut two little teeth from white cardboard to stick on. They will cut two triangle-shaped ears from brown cardboard, bend the tips slightly, and glue them to the top of the mask. They can color the mask with light brown tones. After making small holes on both sides and adding an elastic band, we can adjust it so the mask fits comfortably on their heads. Now our squirrel masks are ready! After that, the teacher can place bottle caps painted brown around the classroom to represent nuts, and ask the children to put on their masks, hide the “nuts” like squirrels, and then find them again.

Scientific Explanation

During the day, when the Sun is high in the sky, its light travels a shorter distance through the atmosphere. The molecules in the atmosphere scatter the shorter wavelength blue light more effectively in all directions, which is why the sky appears blue. However, at sunset or sunrise, the Sun is close to the horizon. In this case, light must past through a much thicker layer of the atmosphere to reach our eyes. This long journey cause most of the blue lights to scatter away from our field of vision. As a result, the longer wavelengths-reds, oranges, and pinks- reach our eyes directly, creating the warm colors we see.

Child-Friendly Explanation

Although, sunlight appears to be a single color, it actually contains all the colors of the rainbow. During the day, when the Sun is high in the sky, blue-the most active and playful color-dashes through the air and spreads everywhere. That's why we always see the sky as bright blue.

But in the evening, as the Sun slowly prepares to go to sleep, the pats its lights takes to reach us become longer. The playful blue color gets tires on this long journey and falls behind. Only the most resilient colors-red, orange, and pink- complete this long journey and reach our eyes directly. As the Sun says "good night" to us, it paints the sky with these beautiful, warm colors as a farewell.

Open-Ended Questions

1) The sky was bright blue during the day. Where do you think that blue color has gone now, and what colors have come to visit in its place?

2) What do these sky colors remind you of? Is there anything at home, in your toys, or in a fruit you eat that resembles these colors?

Activity

Color Filter Experiment: We see how we can separate the colors in light using transparent paper.

Materials: A flashlight, a white wall, and transparent gelatin sheets or colored bags in blue and red/orange colors.

Process: First, shine the flashlight on the wall and explain that the sunlight contains all these colors. Then place the blue gelatin in front of the flashlight and observe that the color on the wall turns bright blue; this is our "daytime sky". Next, remove the blue gelatin and replace it with red or orange gelatin. Let's discover how we light instantly turns into warm colors; this is our "sunset sky". We can simply explain to the children, "In the evenings, our atmosphere turns into a filter just like this orange paper, blocking the blue color and sending only these warm colors to us".

Scientific Explanation

A pine cone is a woody structure that houses and protects the tree's seeds. The opening and closing of its scales is based on a physical principle known as hygroscopy. In dry air, the scales lose moisture and shrink. This shrinkage causes the scales to bend outward, opening the cone, which is ideal for dispersing the seeds by wind. Conversely, when the air is humid or when it rains, the scales absorb water, swell, and press against each other, closing the cone and protecting the seeds. After the cone has fulfilled its biological purpose by dispersing most of its seeds, its connection to the tree weakens and it eventually falls to the ground.

Child-Friendly Explanation

A pine cone is like a small, smart house that keeps the tree's seed babies safe. This tiny house understands the weather very well. When the weather is sunny and dry, it opens its door wide. Because it knows that this dry, windy weather is the best time for the seed babies to fly away with the wind and find themselves a new home.

But when it starts to rain or the air becomes humid, it immediately closes its door tightly. Just like a mother protecting her young from the rain, it doesn't want its seeds to get wet or cold. Finally, once all the seed babies inside have safely flown to their new homes, the smart tree's job is done. It slowly detaches from its branch and settles down to rest on the ground.

Open-Ended Questions

1) This pine cone has opened all its doors wide, as if waiting for a guest. Who or what do you think it might be waiting for?

2) Just like when it rains and you run inside to close the door instead of playing outside, this pine cone seems to be doing the same thing. Just as you are safe inside your home, what might the pine cone be protecting inside when it closes its doors?

Activity

Sponge Pine Cone Experiment: We observe how a sponge reacts to moisture and dryness, just like a pine cone.

Materials: A dry dish sponge, a plate, and some water.

Process: First, place the dry sponge on the plate and imagine it is a "open" pine cone in sunny weather. Now slowly pour water on it. Watch how the sponge instantly absorbs the water, swells, and grows. We can simply explain to the children, "Just like the scales of a pine cone swell and close when it rains, our sponge grew and became heavier when it got wet." Afterwards, when we leave the sponge in the sun to dry, we will see it slowly shrink back to its original size, reminding us again of the "open" pine cone in sunny weather.

Scientific Explanation

Cactus spines are leaves that have changed shape during the plant's evolutionary process. Unlike most plants, cacti perform photosynthesis through their stems. Normal leaves lose significant amounts of water through transpiration via pores called “stomata.” Water is very precious in the arid desert environments where cacti live. Therefore, the transformation of leaves into spines is a vital adaptation that minimizes water loss. At the same time, these sharp spines are the primary defense mechanism that protects the plant from herbivorous animals searching for water.

Child-Friendly Explanation

The spines of a cactus are actually its special leaves! The leaves of other plants release water into the air as they breathe, just like we sweat. But cacti live in very hot and dry deserts, so they don't want to lose even a drop of water.

That's why cactus leaves have turned into hard, spiny “spines” to hold onto their water. These spines have another job too: they protect the cactus from thirsty animals that want to eat it by saying, “Watch out, it hurts!”

Open-Ended Questions

1) If you were a thirsty animal living in the desert and saw this cactus, what would you think?

2) If you were a plant, what kind of ‘special defense’ would you develop to conserve water?

Activity

Let's show the children two small plants: one is a cactus or a picture of a cactus, the other is a normal plant with leaves. First, ask them to look carefully at the leaves/thorns and stems of the plants. Point out how many leaves the leafy plant has and how the cactus has spines instead. Then pour an equal amount of water on both and guess together where the water will go and which plant might lose more water. Finally, let's ask a question like, “What would happen if these two plants were left in a desert without rain for a very long time?” This way, we can help children discover the relationship between the shape of plants and their living conditions.

Scientific Explanation

We see ourselves in a mirror because of the way light reflects. After light hits our face, it reaches the mirror’s smooth and shiny surface and reflects back at the same angle, following the law of reflection. Since mirrors reflect light very regularly, the reflected light reaches our eyes, and the retina senses this light. Our brain processes these signals and forms an image. However, mirrors switch the left and right sides, so the image we see is a reversed version of ourselves. The up-and-down directions stay the same, but left and right are reversed. Thanks to this process, we can see ourselves clearly when we look into a mirror.

Child-Friendly Explanation

We see ourselves in a mirror because the mirror reflects light. When light hits our face, it bounces off the mirror’s smooth surface and reflects back at the same angle. This reflected light reaches our eyes, and our brain processes it to form an image. However, mirrors flip the left and right sides. So, when you raise your right hand, it appears as if your left hand is raised in the mirror. This is why we can see ourselves clearly in the mirror, but the image is slightly reversed!

Open-Ended Questions

1) How does it feel to see yourself in the mirror? Why do you think it feels that way?

2)How would the image you see in the mirror change if the shape of the mirror was different?

Activity

Let's gather the children around and tell them that it's fun to see themselves in the mirror. We can briefly explain how the mirror works: "A mirror reflects light to show us ourselves, but what we see in the mirror is actually a reversed image." Next, let's help the children recognize their left and right hands by asking where each hand is. Ask, "Which hand is your right, and which one is your left?" Then, have them raise their right hands and ask, "Which hand did you raise?" We can explain that in the mirror, the right hand looks like the left one. Afterward, let's start a direction-switching game: Ask the children to "Raise your right hand!" and have each child look at their reflection, asking them which hand they see. This will help them discover how the directions are reversed. Similarly, ask them to "Raise your left hand!" to observe the direction change. Through this activity, the children will have fun while learning how left and right are reversed in the mirror.

Scientific Explanation

Although paper originates from trees, the main reason it is white in its final form is the chemical removal of natural brown pigments and the bleaching of cellulose fibers during the production process. Wood contains a polymer called lignin, which gives paper its natural color and causes it to yellow over time. To make paper durable and permanently white, this lignin is largely removed during the pulping process. To completely eliminate any remaining color residues, the pulp is treated with bleaching chemicals such as chlorine dioxide or hydrogen peroxide. These processes expose the pure cellulose fibers and give paper its dazzling whiteness. This modification is vital for meeting aesthetic expectations and long-term archival requirements.

Biermann, C. J. (1996). Essentials of Pulping and Papermaking. Academic Press.

Child-Friendly Explanation

Paper comes from the brown trees in the forest. So how did the pure white paper in your hand manage to become so clean and bright? In the fibers of the tree, there is a mischievous substance called Uncle Lignin that gives it its brown color; it is like a brown coat tightly clinging to the fibers. At the paper mill, these fibers go on a big journey and are washed with a special, magical water; it's like throwing a big cleaning party to take off their brown coats. Once Uncle Lignin is gone, what remains are the tree's most valuable part: the pure white, cotton-like shining Cellulose Fibers. Because these fibers are spotless, when we press them together and dry them, we get pure white, smooth paper that we can draw pictures on in any color we want.

Open-Ended Questions

1) Which part of the tree do you think turns into paper? Why might they choose that part?

2)If the fibers of the paper were visible, what kind of pattern do you think they would form? What do you think it would look like?

Activity

Prepare two small cups of water and a piece of white tissue paper/toilet paper and brown cardboard/newspaper. Ask the children to crumple these papers with their hands, drop them into the cups of water, and stir with a spoon to form a paste. Have them carefully compare the colors of the prepared brown and white dough and the water. Through this comparison, they will have made a simple and practical observation showing that in order for paper to be white, the brown pigments that give the tree its natural color must be removed at the factory.

Scientific Explanation

The extraordinary resistance of bird nests to gravity, wind, and dynamic loads is explained by a combination of biomechanical weaving techniques and the selection of support points. Birds typically place their nests at the bifurcation points of branches, creating a gravitational lock. However, the actual structural integrity is achieved not by randomly piling materials, but through a complex weaving process. Birds create tension by passing flexible branches under and over each other. This weaving structure utilizes the elastic potential energy stored in the branches to create high static friction between the materials. Similar to the weave of a basket, this mechanism prevents dispersion by distributing the forces acting on the nest throughout the entire structure rather than concentrating them at a single point.

Reference

Hansell, M. (2000). Bird Nests and Construction Behaviour. Cambridge University Press.

Child-Friendly Explanation

Birds are the forest's most skilled basket weavers. They have neither glue nor pins in their hands; so how do they manage to build nests strong enough to withstand even the harshest winds? Their first secret is choosing the safe, open corners where the tree branches form a “V” shape. But the real magic lies in their weaving skill, which we call “One Under, One Over.” Birds don't just lay the flexible branches they gather on top of each other; they weave them together tightly, like a grandmother knitting a sweater. Thanks to this weave, the branches cling to each other like a team playing a game of “Tug of War.” Those thin twigs, which could easily break on their own, become a wind-defying, unbreakable, and safe nest when woven together.

Open-Ended Questions

1)If you were a bird, what materials would you use to build your nest? Why?

2)What other method do you think we could use to make this bird's nest even stronger?

Activity

First, we will touch the hard and thin branches, dry grass, straws, and paper strips that we will place on the table to discover together which ones are hard, which ones are soft, and which ones are flexible. Then, we will gently shake a plastic cup with pom-poms inside and see that the pom-poms immediately fall out, and we will discuss that this is because the materials cannot stick to each other on a single surface. Then, we will place two straws in a cross shape on a cardboard ring and have the children pass the grass and paper strips through the straws one by one to create a small “knitted nest.” When we put the pom-poms inside and shake it, we will observe that none of them fall out. Together with the children, we will notice that the woven structure increases friction, that flexible materials adapt to the round shape, and that this is why birds' nests are durable.

Scientific Explanation

A rainbow is an optical phenomenon created by the refraction, dispersion, and internal reflection of sunlight within water droplets in the atmosphere. When white sunlight enters a droplet, it bends, and because each color bends at a slightly different angle, the light separates into its component colors. This dispersed light is then reflected off the back of the droplet and reaches the observer, forming the arc of a rainbow.

Child-Friendly Explanation

Sunlight is actually like a magical gift box; from the outside it looks pure white, but inside all the colors—red, yellow, blue, green—play hide-and-seek! When it rains, the water droplets in the sky become the tiny keys that open this box. As sunlight passes through a raindrop, it tickles and laughs, spilling all the hidden colors inside. When those hidden colors spread across the sky, they form a huge, colorful rainbow!

Open-Ended Questions

1) The rainbow disappears after a while. Where do you think it hides? Does it go home to sleep?

2) Where else have you seen the colors of the rainbow besides in the sky?

Activity

We will cut a circle the size of a tea saucer out of white cardboard. We will divide the circle into 6 or 7 pieces like a slice of cake and paint each slice a different color of the rainbow. We will stick a pencil right in the middle and turn it into a top. When we spin the top quickly on the floor, we will see all the colors mix together and turn white. At the end of the activity, we will reinforce the concept by saying to the children, “Look how the colors turned white when they mixed quickly! So, sunlight actually contains all these colors, and rain separates them again.”

Scientific Explanation

Used in traffic safety, it is referred to as a “convex mirror” in optical terminology. Convex mirrors are optical systems with a reflective surface shaped like the outer surface of a sphere, which reflect incoming light rays by dispersing them. The focal point of these mirrors is located behind the mirror. According to the laws of physics, the image formed in convex mirrors is always virtual, flat, and smaller than the actual size of the object. The reduction in image size allows a much wider environment to fit within the mirror's limited surface area. Thanks to this wide field of view feature, drivers are provided with a broad perspective at sharp turns and blind spots, minimizing the risk of accidents.

Child-Friendly Explanation

The large, round mirrors we see on street corners actually resemble the back of a giant spoon. We call these “Convex Mirrors.” These mirrors appear as if their center bulges outward. Thanks to this bulging shape, they magically shrink large cars, trees, and buildings that are normally hidden behind them. They make everything tiny so it fits inside the mirror. This way, even before we turn the corner, we can see the huge trucks hidden there at a glance, as if they were toy cars, and stay safe.

Open-Ended Questions

1)Do you think if traffic mirrors were flat like the mirrors in our homes instead of convex, we would still be able to see the cars around that corner? Why?

2)If you were a bird and perched on top of this mirror, could you see the entire forest behind you when you looked into the mirror? Do you think birds' eyes see as widely as these mirrors?

Activity

Each child is given a paper plate and enough aluminum foil to cover the plate, shiny side facing out. The children are asked to place the foil on the plate and smooth it out by folding the edges back. First, they look at themselves holding the plate flat. Then the teacher asks them to gently press down on the center of the back of the plate to make it bulge outward, creating a dome shape. When the children look at this “puffed-up” plate again, they discover how their images have shrunk and how a larger part of the classroom behind them now fits on the plate.

Scientific Explanation

Batteries are electrochemical cells that convert stored chemical potential energy into electrical energy when a circuit is completed. Their basic structure consists of a positive terminal (cathode), a negative terminal (anode), and a conductive electrolyte that facilitates ion transfer. The operation of a battery relies on redox (reduction-oxidation) reactions occurring within the cell. The electrons released as a result of these chemical reactions flow through the external circuit, creating an electric current. A battery's lifespan (capacity) is limited by the amount of chemical reactants it contains; when these reactants are depleted, energy conversion stops and the battery loses its function.

Child-Friendly Explanation

We can think of batteries as tiny “energy lunchboxes” that feed our toys. Just as we need food to run and play, our toys need batteries to move. Inside the battery, there is a “sleeping power” hidden behind a tightly closed cap. When we insert the battery into the toy, this sleeping power awakens and circulates inside the toy, enabling it to function. However, the energy inside the battery is not infinite; just as a carton of juice runs out as we drink it, the energy inside the battery also runs out over time, and we need to replace it with a new one.

Open-Ended Questions

1)Humans don't have batteries, but we also get tired when our energy runs out. What do you think we do to ‘recharge,’ and how are we different from batteries?

2)If you were a toy designer and placed the batteries on the outside of the toy instead of inside, what would you compare the batteries to?

Activity

First, we will lay a few “sleeping” toy cars or dolls with dead or removed batteries on the table and set up a “Toy Hospital.” We will talk with the children about why the toys aren't moving, whether they are sick or just out of energy. Then, we will declare ourselves “Energy Doctors,” take the batteries (energy vitamins) in our hands, and feel the protruding ends of the batteries with our fingers. Then, with doctor-like precision, we will place the batteries in their slots in the correct direction to “heal” the toys. Finally, when we press the button and see the toys come back to life, we will discover that there is a secret power inside those little metal boxes that brings lifeless objects to life.

Scientific Explanation

Snow formation is a fascinating part of the water cycle. When the atmospheric temperature drops below the freezing point (0°C), water vapor in the clouds transforms directly into solid ice crystals without first turning into liquid rain. This process is called “deposition.” Due to the hydrogen bonds between water molecules, these crystals naturally form a hexagonal (six-sided) lattice structure. As they float through the sky, they merge with other crystals and grow. When they become heavy enough, unlike liquid rain, they fall to Earth as snow, retaining their solid, crystalline structure.

Child-Friendly Explanation

Imagine clouds as giant kitchens in the sky. When winter comes and the air gets very cold, the tiny water droplets in this kitchen begin to freeze. Instead of falling as rain, they stretch out their arms and turn into tiny, sparkling ice stars. Each snowflake is like a six-petaled flower made of ice. Because they are solid and light, they don't fall like rain with a sound of “splash” but instead gently float down. Their greatest secret is like a magical trick: no two snowflakes are exactly alike! When billions of them land on the ground, they cover our world like a soft, white blanket.

Open-Ended Questions

1) If you were a drop of water living inside a cloud, what would happen to you as the air cooled, and how would you eventually reach the ground?

2) If snowflakes could choose their own path as they fall to the ground, why do you think some would fall quickly and others slowly?

Activity

First, we will touch the liquid water in one container and the ice cubes in another to discover which one flows through our fingers and which one has a solid shape. Then, we will pour a little water onto a slanted piece of cardboard and see that the water flows away immediately; we will discuss that this is because raindrops cannot stick to a surface. Next, we will give the children white play dough and cotton swabs. We will tell them that the play dough is a “frozen water droplet” and ask them to stick 6 swabs into it to form “ice arms.” When we lift this snowflake structure and gently shake it, we will observe that, unlike liquid water, the pieces do not scatter or flow away. Together with the children, we will notice that when the air gets very cold, water droplets freeze and develop special arms to become snowflakes, and that this structure allows them to gently fall to the ground without flowing away like rain.

The Facial Expressions of Cats

Comment: The child-friendly explanation is very clear and I really liked the "ring" analogy; it makes it easy for kids to visualize. I think choosing a topic about animals and biology is a great idea because it is very original compared to the usual physics topics. Also, it catches children's attention much faster.

2- Bahar İnan- Kerem Kopuz

What is Shadow and How It is Formed?

Comment: I really liked the topic choice because playing with shadows is always fun for this age group. My favorite part is the question: "Why do you think our shadow is black?". Since kids don't know the complex physics behind it yet, this question is perfect to trigger their imagination and get creative answers from them.

3- Öykü Batıhan- Sude Pakize Ceylan

Life Cycle of Chicks

Comment: I think using card sequencing after the story is a really smart idea. It turns a listening activity into a hands-on game. It helps children visualize the "order" of life much better than just hearing about it. Also, comparing chicks to human babies in the explanation was a great touch to make it easy to understand.

4- Hilal Yıldırım- Sıla Engin

Landslide

Comment: The hands-on experiment using flour and water is a great choice. Explaining how "excessive rainfall" causes landslides is hard with just words, but letting children see the flour slide when it gets wet makes it concrete. I think this visual demonstration helps them understand the cause-and-effect relationship instantly.

5- Ece Aydın -Damla Sönmez

Why Does Iron Rust

Comment: I think taking the children outside to "hunt" for rusty objects is a brilliant activity. It turns the lesson into a detective game. It encourages them to look closer at their surroundings and notice details they usually ignore. Finding real rust on a fence or a bike makes the topic much more real for them than just looking at pictures.

6- Ayşegül Çağatay Gökçe – Zeynep Kişioğlu

Why Do We Get A Fever?

Comment: I really loved the "tiny superheroes" analogy in the child-friendly explanation. Getting a fever can be scary for kids, but describing it as a battle where their body is fighting like a hero makes it much less frightening. It turns a negative experience into an empowering story for them. Also, the question "If your body could talk, what would it say when you have a fever?" is great for their imagination.
