The children learnt about Water for their inquiry project. One lesson was on Water Cycle and incidentally the day after, the weather was rainy so we went outdoors to observe the drizzle and puddles of water. This was a good opportunity for them to see how the process of evaporation, condensation and precipitation.

1. Children were asked to observe the environment and they took turns to take photos with the iPad. They also had th opportunity to hold an umbrella as they took turns to stand under the drizzle. When they went indoors, there were asked to draw their experience of holding the umbrella as they stood under the drizzle. (After a few days, they went back to the same spot to take photos. They could compare that evaporation had happened as the road was dry.)

2. Looking at the drizzle, which process did you think happened? This part of the road was wet the other day, however it is now dry. What do you think happened to the water? Can you remember how you felt when you were holding the umbrella under the drizzle?

3. The photos were compiled into Water Inquiry Slide documentation where else the art works were displayed on the walls for children to admire.

1. After reading the book Swirl by Swirl (about animals and things that has spirals), I got children to think of a thing with spiral and draw it out, with reference to the book.

2. What do you want to draw? Which part of it is a spiral? Do the lines of the spiral touch each other? What does a spiral look like?

Arissa: I want to draw flower. (Points to the middle of the flower after drawing)
Jillian: I want to draw a snail. The shell has the spiral.
Rae Joon: Round and round and round like that.

3. It was an art and craft activity so I gave the children different types of collage materials to put glue and paste on their drawing block after drawing straightaway using marker.

沉与浮
1、通过实验，验证哪些种子可以沉？哪些种子可以浮，并把验证的结果在表格上进行记录，最后与同伴分享表格上的记录内容。
2、提问：哪些种子浮？哪些种子会沉？大的种子一定会沉吗？小的种子一定会浮吗？为什么有的种子会沉？有的种子会浮？幼儿们都很专注在实验的过程中，并会和同伴一起合作，在表格进行记录，并在活动中，得出结论，”重“的种子会沉，”轻“的种子会浮。
3、出示种子、透明箱子和记录表格，幼儿们先进行预测，在进行实验，在进行实验的过程中，一边观察实验结果，一边在”沉与浮“的表格上进行记录。

1. The children were invited to record what they saw from the bottles of items that underwent decomposition over a week. A ballon was tied to the bottle’s opening. They reviewed the items in each bottle and discussed their observations before they recorded on their activity sheet.

2. Questions asked were:
What did you observe in each bottle?
What did you notice about the colour of the items?
What did you notice about the balloon?
Children’s responses were:
‘The vegetables changed from green to white. The watermelon turned soft.” - Cara
‘“The bottle with vegetables turned white.” -Lucas

3. The items in the bottles with balloons were placed at the steam corner over a week and children would discuss what they saw when they went to the steam corner.

Zhang Laoshi 光影游戏

2022-09-30 10:30:22 UTC

在第三学期的探究课中，我们一起探索了怎么样让影子更大一些？
教师在试验前，我们一起制作了光影杯子，幼儿在纸杯上自由作画，并在老师贴好的胶布上进行绘画，之后让幼儿将实验前的猜想用绘画的方式记录到实验表格中，鼓励幼儿设计大胆猜测用不同的颜色来表达自己猜想的实验结果。让幼儿两两一组合作完成实验，并且互相说出实验的感受。幼儿在交流试验过程和结果后，教师请幼儿对比自己的实验猜想和结果一致吗？如果不一样为什么？最后进行活动总结，光物体远，影子小；光离物体近，影子大。

提问：
1.你们觉得手电筒照在纸杯里会发生什么？
2.那如果老师把手电筒拿的离纸杯远一些，会发生什么？近一些会发生什么？
3.实验结束了，你的想法和结果一样吗？为什么呢？

面临的挑战：
幼儿在做实验的时候会不小心将手电筒的光照到别的小朋友脸上，其他小朋友会感觉非常刺眼，所以需要及时纠正和课前辅导。
小朋友们在做这个课程的时候非常开心，在实验结束后也能快速的画出实验结果。在做实验的时候他们也能与同伴交流感受。整个房间都是光和影子的氛围，特别好看。

1)我们用电脑拍照，制作视频，制作表格等记录活动，这次是幼儿们测量香蕉叶子的记录。
2）一）我用他们都可以用什么测量叶子，幼儿们找到很多物品可以测量（橡皮，尺子，垫板，水彩盒，手，脚，书本，尺子等。
二）你们使用不同的物品先预测香蕉叶子的长度？
三）你们怎样用物品来测量这么大的香蕉叶子？
四）你们如何使用尺子测量香蕉叶子？
五）你们怎样分工合作？
六）你们预测的数量哪一个更接近实际测量的数量呢？
幼儿们两人一组，都很积极得参与测量记录活动，而且他们两人一起一边倒着物品，一起数数量，最后记录下来。
3.我是先出示这个香蕉叶子，询问幼儿们怎样测量，接着，我问他们那我们怎样记录这些数量，幼儿们说可以画出这些物品的图片，也可以写华文字。他们也来白板前帮老师画。最后，请幼儿们分享他们的预测和实际测量的情况。

测量课室的长度，给小朋友三种不同的东西做测量-自己的脚步、冰棒和故事书先请小朋友预测，然后让小朋友进行测量，再把自己的预测与答案记录在案，再看看其差别，让小朋友说说差别的原因。也请小朋友说说这三样东西的答案为什么会相差那么多。

During their Inquiry Project on Shadow, children observed and measure the shadow cast on the floor. They worked in pairs and measured the length of objects given using unifix cubes. They recorded the result using the recording chart on the board

2. What were some of the questions asked? What were the children's responses?
How can we use unifix cubes to measure the length of shadow?

How can you describe the shadow of objects?

Shahrayyan “ Some shadows are big and some are small”

3. How did you document this activity in your classroom?
- They count how the number of unifix cubes and draw squares on the chart to represent the unifix cubes.

1. For one of our STEAM lessons about plants, children had to label the parts of the plant after they explored the basil plant. Differentiated recording activities were prepared to match the children's abilities in order to meet the objectives of the activity.
2. Questions asked:
1)What can (plant part) do for the plant? Eg roots hold plant in place/absorb water.
2)What happens if the plant has no roots? Eg plants can easily shift / will not survive.
3)Why are seeds important? (To reproduce/make new plants)
3. Display their work on the whiteboard for 1-2days to review and reflect what they have learnt.

1、记录自己刷牙的过程并分享。
2、提问的问题：
你一天刷几次牙？什么时候需要刷牙？刷牙需要什么？为什么需要牙膏，牙膏的作用是什么？你能通过图画记录自己刷牙的过程吗？
幼儿回答一天刷牙两次，早晚各刷一次，谢佳希说："在外面吃饭和在学校吃饭后要喝水，牙齿里面的食物就不会在牙齿里面。”贾净涵说：“我的爸爸用牙线剔牙。”林俊澄说：“我的爸爸用小的stick."幼儿在分享中说出保护牙齿的用具。我们用牙膏刷桌面上的铅笔痕迹，用牙膏很快擦干净，不用牙膏就擦不干净。靖恩说：“要用牙膏才可以把牙齿刷干净，大人的牙膏辣，小孩的牙膏甜甜的，我喜欢草莓味道的牙膏。”在记录中，幼儿能呈现出要里外上下左右刷牙。

1. The activity I did with the kids was for the children to record down on the Singapore Zoo’s map their favourite animal’s location. When all the friends finished circling their favourite animal, we were able to see the popular spots where the children will be most interested in.

2. Questions asked:
- What is your favourite animal?
- Where can you find your favourite animal?
- What other animal is near your favourite animal?
- Do you know how your favourite animal looks like?

Responses:
Tristan: I really like monkeys
Meagan: The giraffe is near my favourite animal the Zebra!

3. I placed it on the whiteboard for the children to see and they took turns during exploratory play time to look at the recording of the different animals circled and were able to conclude that most of the friends wanted to see crocodiles, tortoises and snakes.

The children recorded what they have observed about the young coconut.

What are the different parts of the coconut? How is the young coconut different from the old coconut?
'The young coconut is green' - Alecia
'The young coconut has coconut water. The coconut water is transparent.' - Xin rui
'The coconut shell is very hard and smooth. The old coconut is very hairy.' - Rayyan

The children drew the coconuts from observation. They were then invited to label the different parts of the coconuts.

The children were so interested to discover how leaves drink water, thus, we conducted an experiment to find out.
They worked in pairs to fill up a bottle with water and chose a food colouring to stain the water. They then placed a leaf into the water and Yizi predicted that her leaf with become red if the leaf can drink water.
They were tasked to conduct a 3 day observation whereby they had to draw on their recording sheet what was seen over the period of time.
Groups that used yellow food colouring couldn't observe much differences while groups that used red food colouring was more obvious.

Questions asked: How do you think this has happened? Why do you think the leaf became red?

Ferrina mentioned to me that her leaf did not change colour at all, and after some discussion and observation, we realised that it was because the stem was bent, hence, the water could not pass through.

During our inquiry project about 'Teeth', we investigated the amount of sugar in different foods. The children brought the packaging of foods like cereal and ice cream and recorded down the amount of sugar by filling up a chart, which was marked by intervals of 10.

Can you find the word ‘sugar(s)’? What is the number beside it? find the number under the ‘per 100g’ column.

The chart where children predicted which food had the most amount of sugar was shown on the wonderwall.

通过乌鸦喝水的故事，让幼儿知道水位的变化，通过小实验，自己往小瓶子里丢小石头，看着水平线的上升，让幼儿直观的看到水位的上升过程。孩子们在计算丢小石头进水瓶的实验中，孩子们可以轮流的等待，可以帮同伴一起数丢进去的石头的数量。有的孩子可以准确的数10 ，有几个幼儿在数10的过程中，比较犹豫，数到9就以为自己已经数到10 了。在画水位线的时候，6CM的水位线上升到10CM的水位线，用大石头只使用了十九块。而用小的五彩石头的时候，一共使用了700粒。班里一共10个小朋友，一个孩子数10粒石头，每个孩子数了七次，才把水位线上升到10cm的位置。孩子们从一开始的可以耐心等待到后面有些坐不住了。然后我就给每个小孩发小石头，让孩子们一起数10粒，一来可以加快速度，二来每个孩子手上都有事情做，可以增加幼儿的耐心。通过乌鸦喝水的故事，让幼儿知道水位的变化，通过小实验，自己往小瓶子里丢小石头，看着水平线的上升，让幼儿直观的看到水位的上升过程。孩子们在计算丢小石头进水瓶的实验中，孩子们可以轮流的等待，可以帮同伴一起数丢进去的石头的数量。有的孩子可以准确的数10 ，有几个幼儿在数10的过程中，比较犹豫，数到9就以为自己已经数到10 了。在画水位线的时候，6CM的水位线上升到10CM的水位线，用大石头只使用了十九块。而用小的五彩石头的时候，一共使用了700粒。班里一共10个小朋友，一个孩子数10粒石头，每个孩子数了七次，才把水位线上升到10cm的位置。孩子们从一开始的可以耐心等待到后面有些坐不住了。然后我就给每个小孩发小石头，让孩子们一起数10粒，一来可以加快速度，二来每个孩子手上都有事情做，可以增加幼儿的耐心。

1. During the Inquiry Project, the children used the creator book app to record their observations. The children predict what will happen to the seed and used the app to draw their predictions.
2. Questions: What are the seeds that you know? What’s gonna happen with this seed when we put in the soil?
Aydan “I have kangkong seeds,it will grow long and big when you plant”.
Sofia: “My seed is going to have leaves”
3. We took photos and printed some their creation from the app and has been displayed for them for show and tell.
