Work program of a circle on experimental activities for children 5–6 years old “Experiment”
Children's experimentation is the basis of search and research activities of preschoolers .
A child is a researcher by nature. The most important features of children's behavior are curiosity, observation, thirst for new discoveries and impressions, the desire to experiment and search for new information about the world around the child . The task of adults is to help children maintain this research activity as the basis for such important processes as self-learning, self-education and self-development.
Research gives the child the opportunity to find answers to the questions “how?”
and
why?"
.
The knowledge gained during experiments is remembered for a long time. It is important that each child conducts his own experiments. He must do everything himself, and not just be an observer. A Chinese proverb says: “Tell me and I will forget, show me and I will remember, let me try and I will understand
.
Everything is absorbed firmly and for a long time when the child hears, sees and does it himself. This is the basis for the active introduction of children's experimentation into the practice of preschool institutions. Children get real ideas about the various aspects of the object being studied, about its relationships with other objects and with the environment. The child’s memory is enriched, his thought processes are activated, as the need constantly arises to perform operations of analysis and synthesis, comparison and classification, generalization and extrapolation. The child’s speech develops, as he needs to give an account of what he saw, formulate discovered patterns and conclusions.
An experiment independently conducted by a child allows him to create a model of a natural scientific phenomenon and summarize the results obtained effectively, compare them, classify them and draw conclusions about the value significance of physical phenomena for a person and himself.
Relevance of the topic. At the present stage, high demands are placed on preschool graduates. The child must be inquisitive, active, physically developed, emotionally responsive, and it is in childhood experimentation the child’s integrative qualities develop.
The purpose of this program is :
— creating conditions for the formation of the foundations of a holistic worldview of a child of senior preschool age through experimentation .
Tasks:
children's understanding of the physical properties of the world around them : introduce them to the various properties of substances (hardness, softness, flowability, viscosity, buoyancy, solubility)
;
introduce the main types and characteristics of movement (speed, direction)
;
develop ideas about basic physical phenomena (magnetic and terrestrial attraction, reflection and refraction of light)
elementary geographical ideas in children
to develop experience in following safety rules when conducting physical experiments
develop cognitive interest in the natural world, understanding the relationships in nature and the place of man in it.
to cultivate a humane, careful, caring attitude towards the natural world and the surrounding world in general .
The club program is designed for children of senior preschool age.
The period for the implementation of the circle is 1 year , September and May - examination of the level of mastery of children's experimental activities .
Lesson schedule: 1 time per week; duration – 25 minutes.
the circle activities is entertaining games and activities with elements of experimentation .
Forms of summing up: sketches, diagrams, pictures, tables.
Expected results:
During the implementation of experimentation tasks, it is assumed that children will acquire:
ideas about the properties of substances
the ability to establish cause-and-effect relationships between the properties of materials and methods of their use
research skills to independently draw conclusions, put forward hypotheses, analyze
expand knowledge about objects and their properties
The main conditions for children's experimentation are :
relationship with other aspects of education (mental, labor, moral, etc.)
;
use of different types of activities ;
a clear definition of the content of environmental education;
use of effective diagnostic tools and monitoring of environmental education.
relationship between family and preschool;
creation of a developmental environment (books, programs , educational games, visual aids, etc.);
environmental literacy of adults themselves.
Methods and techniques used in program
Techniques for organizing children in the learning process :
work in small groups;
creating situations that encourage children to help each other;
Techniques for activating children's :
inclusion of game exercises;
active participation of the teacher in joint activities with children ;
performing unconventional tasks;
solving problem situations;
modeling and analysis of given situations
Teaching methods:
showing or demonstrating a method of action in combination with an explanation, performed using a variety of didactic means;
instructions for performing independent exercises;
explanation, clarification, indication in order to prevent errors;
questions for children.
Guidelines:
The children's experimentation program is structured in such a way that children can repeat the experiment shown to adults, can observe, answer questions using the results of the experiments. With this form of work, the child masters experimentation as a type of activity and his actions are reproductive in nature.
Basic principles underlying the work :
scientific (children are given knowledge about the properties of substances, etc.)
;
dynamism (from simple to complex)
;
integrativeness (synthesis of arts)
;
cooperation (joint activities of teacher and children )
systematic (pedagogical influence is built into a system of tasks)
continuity (each next stage is based on already formed skills and, in turn, forms the “zone of proximal development”
).
age appropriateness (proposed tasks and games take into account the capabilities of children of a given age );
visibility (use of visual and didactic material, information and communication technologies);
health-saving (a combination of static and dynamic position of children , change of activities )

Plan of the “Pochemuchka” circle in the preparatory group
Explanatory note
Teachers of educational institutions believe that the task of preparing a child for school is not limited to acquiring knowledge and academic skills. It is much more important to develop a preschooler’s attention, thinking, speech, to awaken interest in the world around him, to develop the ability to make discoveries and be surprised by them.
From birth, children are surrounded by various phenomena of inanimate nature: the sun, the wind, the starry sky, the crunch of snow underfoot. Children collect stones and shells with interest, play with sand and water; objects and phenomena of inanimate nature are part of their life activities and are objects of observation and play. This circumstance makes it possible to systematically and purposefully familiarize children with the phenomena of the surrounding world.
Psychologists have proven that the thinking of preschool children is visually effective and visually imaginative. Consequently, the process of teaching and upbringing in kindergarten should mainly be based on visual and practical methods. This principle is especially important to observe when implementing natural science and environmental education.
Today, children's experimentation is becoming especially popular. Its main advantage is that it gives the child real ideas about the various aspects of the object being studied, about its relationships with other objects and with the environment. Experiments have a positive effect on the emotional sphere of the child, on the development of creative abilities, on the formation of work skills and the promotion of health by increasing the overall level of physical activity. During the experiment, the child’s memory is enriched, his thought processes are activated, since the need constantly arises to perform operations of analysis and synthesis, comparison and classification, and generalization. The need to give an account of what was seen, to formulate discovered patterns and conclusions stimulates the development of speech. The task of the teacher in the process of experimental activities is to connect the results of research work with the practical experience of children, their existing knowledge and lead them to an understanding of natural laws, the foundations of environmentally literate, safe behavior in the environment.
Understanding the importance of experimentation for the development of a child, the kindergarten has developed a plan for the “Pochemuchka” circle for children in the school-preparatory group. The leading idea of the circle is to organize feasible, interesting and age-appropriate experimental research activities for the formation of natural science concepts of preschoolers.
The goal of the program is to promote the development of children's cognitive activity, curiosity, desire for independent knowledge and reflection through experimental activities.
Tasks:
1. Expand children’s understanding of the world around them through familiarization with basic knowledge from various fields of science.
2. Develop in children the ability to use assistant devices when conducting experimental games.
3. Develop mental abilities.
4. Social and personal development of the child: development of communication, independence, observation, basic self-control and self-regulation of one’s actions.
Mastering the program material of the Pochemuchka circle is designed for one academic year.
Joint activities between the circle leader and students are organized once a week, lasting 30 minutes.
To begin mastering program material, there are no specific requirements for students. What is important is that the general development of preschool children corresponds to their age period. At the same time, if a child has not previously attended a club, then at any stage of education he can begin to attend it. The program is designed for both children who are weak in their development and for gifted ones, and the pace of their progress through the program will be different.
As a result of mastering the content of the program, it is expected that students will develop stable natural science knowledge and ideas, develop research skills, as well as independence in the process of experimental activities and application of knowledge in practice.
