From the game to scientific research, the way is much shorter than it seems at first glance.
The child goes easily and naturally on this way if you take advantage of one of his greatest qualities which is curiosity. Small
experiments done with children at preschool age are not wasted science activities allow the child a natural contact with the
surrounding time or exaggeration. Well prepared and carefully guided by teachers, world. The activities won’t answer any
question the children have, but it will be a starting point for a serious study, for new questions and will help, why not, to the
training of future scientists.Come and enter together in a world of experiments from vital
’’water’’, ’’growing and sowing’’ to ’’astronomy’’ and ’’light-shadow’’
EVERYTHING IS FASCINATING!
With much consideration and dedicationproject teams from Romania, Turkey, Lithuania, Bulgaria

WATER
EXPERIMENT: “WATER DOESN’T FLOW OUT
FROM THE GLASS”
4
EXPERIMENT: “WATER MILL”
WORKING PROCEDURE:Pour water from a container
into the mill hopper.MATERIALS: mill,
container for the water, water vessel.
WORKING PROCEDURE:
A glass of water is covered with a sheet of paper and
turned upside downMaterials: water,
transparent glass, a sheet of paper
EXPERIMENT: “WATER FEATURES”
WORKING PROCEDURE:Observe the water samples:
color, smell, taste
MATERIALS: drinking water, tubes, glasses
5
EXPERIMENT: “OBTAINING HOMOGENEOUS MIXTURES”
WORKING PROCEDURE: Pour water into the tube.
Add different colored watercolor
MATERIALS:
water, tubes, watercolors
EXPERIMENT: “THE RAIN”
6
MATERIALS: a transparent glass, shaving
foam, spoon, plate, paint brush, glass with blue
watercolor.
WORKING PROCEDURE:The transparent glass is filled
with water. The remaining space is filled with shaving
foam by using a spoon. Take blue watercolor with a paint
brush and drip it slowly in the shaving foam glass
EXPERIMENT: BUILDING “A DROPPER”
7
EXPERIMENT: “THE CAPACITY OF RECIPIENTS”
WORKING PROCEDURE:
Moving the same amount of water from one
container to another.MATERIALS: recipients of different shapes and
capacity.
WORKING PROCEDURE: The straw should be placed in a glass of water and covered with a finger. By raising the finger and quickly cover the straw, it works as a dropper.MATERIALS: transparent glass, water, plastic straw.
EXPERIMENT: “THE FILTRATION OF WATER”
8
EXPERIMENT: “WE HAVE A TAP”
WORKING PROCEDURE:Take a bottle and make a hole at the bottom, insert a plastic
straw.Pour water in the bottle and then pour water in a glass through the plastic straw
MATERIALS: bottle, water, plastic straw, glass.
WORKING PROCEDURE:Put in a transparent
container water then sandShake well the mixture
Put in a funnel some filter paper and gradually invertMATERIALS: transparent
container, water, sand, filter paper, funnel.
LIFE IS WATER
9
Water you are not only necessary to life, you are the
life it self; you are the irreplaceable treasure of
EARTH; you are the most delicate, the most pure and
you are the soul of EARTH”
10
Teacher shows a picture expressing need of water.
Teacher shows a model of water cycle.
Teacher explains the importance of water by using pictures and story telling.
11
Children observing what floats on water and what sinks in water.
12
*observing how oil floats on water;
*putting white carnation in coloured water and observing the changes day by day;
13
*Students put shaving foam over water and put liquid paint on the foam then see how paint goes inside the water like a rain and foam is like a
cloud.
*putting a boiling water in a glass and a holding a plate over it, students understand how rain is formed by seeing the water
drops;
14
At the end of the lessonstudents make water balloons and enjoy.
*heating ice bar and seeing how it changes into liquid and gas;
15
CHILDREN ASK: “Why did the flowers fade?
CHILDREN ANSWER: “The flower needs water”
CHILDREN ASK: “Why must we wash our hands?”
PROCESS:The dirty background is touched
The hands are washed
CHILDREN ANSWER: „There are a lot of bacterias on
the hands.”
16
CHILDREN ASK: „What melt in the water?“
MEANS:•Glasses, teaspoons• Sand, paint, salt•Water Process: •The individual jars with teaspoon are filled with colour, salt, and sand . Observed, how it is melt in water.OBSERVATION TIME – 10min.
CHILDREN ANSWER: „In the water melts salt. The paint not only melts but colours the water too.”
17
CHILDREN ASK: “How does the water change to ice?”
MEANS:• water• gouache• cups
PROCESS:• Pour into cups simple and colored water and freeze it.
OBSERVATION TIME: 2 days
CHILDREN ANSWER: “The water converts into blue and white ice and it increases
its capacity”.
18
CHILDREN ASK:“What will happen when we put the egg into salted water?”
CHILDREN ANSWER: “the water will be unclear
And the egg will float On the top of water”.
CHILDREN ASK: “what will happen with the uncooked egg when we put it in the drincable water?”
CHILDREN ANSWER: “The egg will be wet and
fall down”
19
CHILDREN ASK: „why is it not allowed to eat snow?“
MEANS:Magnifying glassConteinersSnow PROCESS:Watching the snow from the yard OBSERVATION TIME:2 hours.
CHILDREN ANSWER: „The melted snow is very dirty“
20
CHILDREN ASK: „How does the drop look like?”
MEANS:Microscope PippeteDifferent size cons WaterPROCESS:It is estimated that the number of drops can fit on different sizes of coinsOBSERVATION TIME:10 min.
CHILDREN ANSWER: „The drop of water is clear and small“

SOWING AND GROWING
24
GERMINATION PROCESS puts children in the position of making small research through handling, observation,
exploration and investigation of the seeds
The children are involved in the seeds research by asking:”What is inside the seed?”
25
In every stage of the germination process children explore the seed which becames plant.
26
Children are responsible to assure all the necessary conditions for the plants to grow.
27
When the plants were 5-6 cm we put them in the kindergarten yard!
Learning through discovery seeks students cognitive activation!
28
29
Carving the gourds and filling them with soil then painting the gourds and seeding the soil…an attractive activity to have students love
seeding and growing..
30
Diagram of causes and effects
31
An enjoyable activity for kids: making grass men.Students are very excited while grasses are appearing. They fill nylon women socks
with sawdusts and grass seeds then use buttons for face making.
32
Students cut the plastic bottles making little circles and plant onions in the circles.The onions grow over the circles.
33
Purpose: to sow, grow, observe and explore the plants in the immediate surroundings.
OLIMPIAD OF SEEDS
The idea To find out which
of the selected seeds faster
germinate in a damp wool, soil.
SEEDS IN A SOIL
THE SEEDS IN A COTTON
- different seeds germinated differently.
34
GREENHOUSE EFFECT
IDEATo explore the seeds germination in the
greenhouse conditions.
Greenhouse effect accelerates the germination of seeds;
35
MATERIALS AND DIVERSITY of flowerpots
IdeaTo explore the seeds germination in
various conditions and different materials: water, earth, sawdust,
