How certain foods can change.

We were working with finding out about how certain foods can change.

We talked  to the children first and find out how much they know.

We asked them how to make an ice cube, what happens

when you boil pasta or an egg, what happens when you leave ice-cream

out in the sun, etc.

Then we gave them the opportunity to experience of some of these changes.

                                   Sink and float   

During the Week, we introduced the concept of floating and sinking. For this activity, we asked the kids to play with water and some fruits and vegetables as well as other objects. It was good experience of introducing the concept of floating and sinking. While playing, we talked to the kids about things float and others sink. They experienced the knowledge through practice and actual involvement. We extended the learning throughout worksheet activity.  Each child was trying to put different food and objects in water, then they pasted pics of the same objects on paper with pictures of two containers of water. Many kids were able to reflect their understanding of the concept on the paper, while few kids needed some help.

Purpose:

• To achieve the goal of Grid 10 and introduce the concept of floating and sinking.
• To know, experience and practice about sinking and floating.
• To develop their Cognitive skills.

Fun with Shapes And Blue Bot

Fun with Shapes and Blue Bot !

Children were introduced to an array of shapes - the triangle, square, rectangle, circle,
pentagon and diamond shapes. To reinforce the concept of those shapes, we had some
fun games in store for the children! They had to roll a dice with the shapes on each face,
and  had to measure the number of steps it would take for Blue bot to get to the shape
rolled on the dice . Subsequently, they had to program some commands for the robot
in order for it to get there!

It was a great learning experience for children, they learned both about shapes and ICT.

Purpose:

To be able to  recognise and learn the names of the different shapes

To learn how the Blue Bot works

Connection to the Lpfö:

Develop their understanding of shapes and develop their ability to identify technology
and explore how simple technology works.
