1. Experiments with Water, Air, and Light
Experiments with Water
Objective: Understand the properties of water and phenomena such as floating, sinking, and absorption.
Activity Description:
Children from different countries can exchange information about water in their regions (e.g., availability, purity, color differences, taste, etc.).
Each group of children investigates what floats and what sinks using local materials (stones, corks, plastic blocks).
Experiment - Wandering Water
This experiment allows us to show children how water "moves" between containers using cotton threads. Participants can also send photos of their experiments to a shared online album.
Required Materials:
Glasses or transparent containers
Food coloring in various colors
Water
Paper towels or cotton threads
Conducting the Experiment:
Arrange the glasses in a row and pour water with food coloring into every other glass.
Connect the glasses using paper towels or cotton threads.
Children can send photos of their experiment and describe what is happening in their regions.
Experiments with Air
Students can create simple pinwheels and use a hairdryer to demonstrate how air moves objects.
Each group can record their experiments and share them on the project platform.
Experiments with Light
Experiment – Day and Night
Required Materials: an apple, a skewer, a flashlight
Use the apple as a model of the Earth.
Students turn on the flashlight to simulate the Sun.
Children document their experiences (photos, videos) and share them in the project.
Additional Element: Children can also compare their results with peers from other countries, analyzing how their experiments were conducted under different weather conditions.
2. Nature Observations
Objective: Understand how nature changes in different seasons and how diverse the flora and fauna are.
Activity Description:
Children collect local natural materials (leaves, acorns, stones) and document their observations of insects and birds.
Students from different countries can share their findings and create joint albums by posting photos and descriptions.
Creating an Autumn Nature Corner:
Each group of children will create an autumn corner in their surroundings and post photos on a shared platform. This will provide an opportunity to exchange experiences and reflect on how nature differs in various parts of Europe.
Presentation: At the end of the project, students will prepare a joint online presentation showcasing what they discovered and observed, comparing the diversity of nature in different countries.
Common Elements of the Project:
Children will use the eTwinning platform for communication, sharing photos, videos, and results of their experiments.
Organizing video conferences so participants can exchange experiences and discuss the results of their research in real-time.
Encouraging creative collaboration and mutual inspiration during experiments and observations.
This modified plan of activities not only engages children in fun and learning but also promotes international collaboration and cultural exchange, which is a key goal of the eTwinning program.
