VIDEO: Carrying out experiments with water in kindergarten

Experiments with the wet element

Little researchers and their curiosity should be in the kindergarten be satisfied with interesting and playful experiments.

• children children in kindergarten should be taught how to handle various tools such as scissors, paper, pens, water and the like carefully and appropriately for their age. As a result, the children's understanding of the properties of the work material is built up through certain experiments, so that what they have learned can also be repeated at home with modifications. In this way, the creativity of your children is specifically promoted.

• Above all, experiments with water introduce the children to the different modes of action and properties of this element illustrates simply and effectively in conjunction with colors for their mixing ratio, surface tension and cooling functions of Water.

• In addition to experiments with water, children can also learn the behavior of flow processes and flow properties, provided that the appropriate means are added to the water. The playful and interesting character shows the children the effect of a certain cause directly and thus remains better in the memory as the knowledge imparted.

Individual experiments on water properties

With individually illustrated properties of the water in the context of experiments, in which the children can participate, the knowledge is imparted with fun and initiative.

1. To illustrate the surface tension of the water, you can fill a bowl with water. Ideally, use a glass bowl so that all children have good all-round visibility.
2. Now carefully place a small needle and thumbtack on the water with the head side down. The children will be amazed that the aids do not go under. In this way, children can see directly that the water has a surface that is under a certain tension.
3. Now put a drop of washing-up liquid into the bowl with the needle, the thumbtacks that are still floating on the surface. With the drop of washing-up liquid, the surface tension of the water is loosened and the needle and thumbtacks fall to the bottom of the bowl. In this way you demonstrate that certain agents are able to influence the water.
4. Fill a glass vase with water and food coloring. You can perform two experiments at once if you like. Concerning. In color theory, you can mix blue and yellow to get the color green in the water.
5. In this way the children learn that water is able to dissolve colors and at the same time that certain colors when mixed produce another known color, in this case green. This way, the children know that if there is a need for creativity in mixing colors, it can replace a nonexistent one.
6. Put a white rose in the vase. Due to the need for water, the rose will draw the colored water into the leaves, so that they have taken on the color of the water. In this way, the children learn how to handle water, the mixing ratios and have a natural relationship with the flora.
7. Fill a glass with water. Carefully slide an egg into the water using a spoon. As expected, the egg will sink to the bottom of the jar.
8. Repeat the experiment after mixing and dissolving a few teaspoons of salt in the water. The egg will float on the surface of the water so that the children can see the buoyancy effect of salt water and relate it to a vacation by the sea.

Come up with your own experiments with water and always give the children background information about why certain effects are caused by the Experiments with water enter.
