Priča o patuljku slikaru može poslužiti kao motivacija za likovne aktivnosti bojama. Prije čitanja priče pripremite boje, kistove i posudice s vodom, a ako je aktivnost s lišćem, i lišće jesenjih boja. Priču pričajte koristeći se pokretima opisanim u zagradama.
Bio jednom jedan patuljak koji je živio u velikoj šumi. Patuljak je imao narančastu kapicu, žuto odijelo opasano velikim crnim remenom , narančaste hlačice i duboke crne čizmice.
Patuljak je svaki dan išao u šetnju od svog stabla, ispod kojeg je bila njegova kućica, do drugog kraja šume. U šetnju bi ponio torbu preko ramena, a unutra bi stavio bočice boja: crvenu, plavu i žutu, te kist. Patuljak je uživao u svom tom divnom lišću što je raslo na drveću, a divio se i lišću što je raslo na zemlji. Igrao se s lišćem i dao mu divne boje koje bi počele razgovarati među sobom.
Mali patuljak našao je žuti list i upitao ga: "Bi li se htio igrati samnom?" "Hoću! Hoću!", veselo usklikne mali list. "Ako se hoćeš igrati samnom, prvo moraš smočiti noge u lokvi vode (umočiti kist u vodu), obrisati noge (ocijediti kist o rub staklenke) pa se možemo igrati! (umočiti kist u boju i plesati njime po zraku)". Patuljak je plesao sa žutim listom sve dok se nije umorio. Otkrio je u šumi puno lišća koje se htjelo igrati. I tako bi se patuljak igrao i igrao....sve dok se ne bi umorio.
Hajde, idemo se i mi sada kao mali patuljak igrati....
Let’s learn body parts in a fun and easy way! This activity is perfect for preschoolers and young learners. With simple words, colorful pictures, and songs, children can learn and remember body parts while playing. Learning English can be fun!
There are lots of ideas on the web for teaching children about the human body. I chose some of them that I found appropriate also for ESL students.
We started learning by introducing the parts of the body: head, shoulders, knees, toes, eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. Depending on the age or level of the students you are teaching, start with three or four words per class.
Ideas for flashcard games while teaching the parts of the body:
Simon Says
When you say "Simon says touch your head" students need to touch their head. But when you say "Touch your head", without "Simon", they must not touch their head. If they do they are out of the game. Repeat the game with all the body parts you have introduced.
What’s Missing?
Place four familiar cards face up in a row. Ask your children to close their eyes. Now, they can open their eyes and guess which one is missing. Turn that card face up again and add one more card to the pile. Ask your students to close their eyes again and turn two cards over. Gradually add few cards more, depending on how many you have introduced at the time, and turn more cards for students to guess what's missing.
Touch the Ball
You will need one ball per pair of students sitting on the floor and facing each other. The ball is on the floor between them. You give them instructions to touch a certain part of the body e.g. "Touch your head/knees/head...." After some time, you will tell them to touch the ball. The student who picks the ball first is the winner. Now, only the winners play the game. Divide them into pairs again and repeat the game as instructed. Play the game until there is just one pair of students left. The winner is the last student picking the ball first.
Pass The Card
The students and the teacher sit in a circle. The teacher starts by passing a picture card to the student on his right, saying, “This is a cat.” The student takes the card and passes it to the next student, saying, “This is a cat.” The card is passed around the circle. When the card returns to the teacher, the teacher puts that card aside and introduces a new picture card in the same manner. When the students have learned a few picture cards, the teacher has a few options: a) wait until a card has reached the halfway mark, then introduce a second card going in the same direction; b) introduce cards at the same time going in opposite directions, c) send 3-4 cards around the circle in the same direction with little pause between each. Tip: Four cards are probably the maximum number of cards to work with at one time.
For the "Follow-up" activity, you can ask children to draw their body or their face using this template
Or you can use this idea for the activity "The Teeth in My Mouth" with styrofoam and colored paper Instead of using styrofoam, you can also use white beans.
Sing the "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes" song
While the song plays, you do all the action and encourage your students to do the same. Repeat the song, singing it a little bit faster, then faster, and faster. Until you can not sing it faster. Students will love it and ask you to sing it more.
If you have already sung "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes," you can sing the "Open Close" song
Sing the "Hockey Pockey" song for level 2 (more body parts)
"All about me" chantThis is a great chant for ESL students to learn. It's very easy to learn when you add appropriate TPR (e.g. ten little fingers - wiggle with your fingers; ten little toes - wiggle or touch your toes, etc.).
All about me
Ten little fingers
Ten little toes,
two little ears
and one little nose.
Two little eyes,
shining so bright.
Two little lips,
to kiss you good night!
We also did some "Skeleton" crafts after introducing words: skull, skeleton, bone, brain, lungs, and exploring the human skeleton through different media.
I created the "Human digestion" labyrinth to help my students understand how food travels through the body.

The goal of this experiment is to introduce children to the concept of density by observing that solutions with different densities do not mix. Here’s how the experiment went with my group of children:
We poured the same amount of water into each jar or cup and added a different color to each. Then we added sugar, increasing the amount by one tablespoon for each subsequent jar. This way, we created solutions with different densities.
Cilj pokusa je upoznati djecu s pojmom gustoće kroz uočavanje da se otopine različitih gustoća ne miješaju. Ovako je tekao pokus koji sam realizirala sa svojoj djecom.....
Pribor i materijali koje smo mi koristili:
6 manjih staklenki ili čaša,
jedna veća staklenka
voda, prehrambene boje ili tempera: crvena, narančasta, žuta, zelena, plava, ljubičasta
šećer .
U staklenke ili čaše ulijemo istu količinu vode i u svaku dodamo boju po želji te šećer.
Kako bi dobili otopine različitih gustoća, količinu šećera koju dodajemo povećavamo
za jednu žlicu po staklenci.
For example, add one tablespoon of sugar to the red water, two tablespoons to the orange, three to the yellow, and so on. The children can count the spoons of sugar as you add them. Stir the water and sugar well with a spoon until all the sugar dissolves.
Questions for the children:
“What do you think will happen to the sugar?”
“Where did the sugar go?”
Once the solutions are ready, slowly pour them one by one into the larger jar, being careful not to mix them. Through guided questions, help the children conclude that the solutions don’t mix because of the added sugar. The sugar changes the density of the water — the more sugar there is, the denser the water becomes.
Npr. u crvenu dodamo 1 žlicu šećera, u narančastu dvije, u žutu
tri itd. Djeca broje dodane žlice šećera. Žlicom dobro pomiješati vodu i šećer
kako bi se sav šećer otopio.
Pitanja za djecu: „Što će se dogoditi sa šećerom?/Gdje je
nestao šećer?“; „
Kad su otopine spremne, polako ih sipati u veću staklenu
kako se ne bi pomiješale. Pitanjima navedite djecu da zaključe da se zbog dodanog šećera otopine
ne miješaju. Šećer je promijenio gustoću vode. Što ga više ima, to je voda
gušća.
Our experiment was partially successful. The lightest (red) and the heaviest (purple) layers separated well, while the green layer dominated over the other colors. However, the planned learning outcomes were still achieved.
Since the experiment only partially worked, it may be best to use fewer colors—for example, red, green, yellow, and purple—and to use a narrower glass jar or, ideally, a test tube for pouring the solutions. This will make it easier to layer the liquids without mixing them.
Naš pokus je djelomično uspio. Uspjele su se odvojiti
najrjeđa crvena i najgušća ljubičasta, a
zelena boja je dominirali nad ostalim bojama. No, ipak, planirani
ishodi su ostvareni. Međutim, zbog
djelomično uspjelog pokusa najbolje bi bilo koristi samo nekoliko boja npr. crvenu, zelenu, žutu i ljubičastu te
koristit što užu staklenku ili po mogućnosti epruvetu u koju ćete dolijevati
dobivene otopine.
Prije ukrašavanja pisanica potreno je pripremiti ispuhana jaja, a kako ispuhati jaja pročitajte upute OVDJE.
Potrebno je:
Ispuhana jaja - postupak možete pronaći
Plastelin za učvršćvanje ispuhang jaja na štapić
Štapići za ražnjiće
Komad stiropora (u njega ćete ubadati štapiće sa pisanicama kako bi se osušile bez oštećenja)
Akrilni lak u spreju (nije nužan, ali čini pisanice dugotrajnijim te im daje lijepi sjaj) – može i lak koji se nanosi kistom
Postupak:
Pažljivo ugurati štapić kroz rupici na jajetu te fiksirati s malo plastelina.
PISANICE UKRAŠENE POSIPANJEM PIJESKA U BOJI
Potrebno:
Obojani pijesak različitih boja u većim posudama (npr. pvc podlošci od povrća i sl.), a kako obojiti pijesak pročitajte OVDJE.
Drvofix (ljepilo za drvo)
Kistovi
Postupak: Jaja na štapiću premazivati ljepilom te posipavati pijeskom kako bi se pijesak primio za ljepilo. Kada ste ukrasili cijelu pisanicu, zabosti štapić u stiropor i ostaviti sušiti. Prelakirati lakom, a kada se lak osuši, odrezati štapić i pisanica je gotova. Zapamtite, ne morate odmah premazati cijelo jaje ljepilo, već se možete igrati te dio po dio premazivati i posipati kako bi dobili različite uzorke po želji.
UKRAŠAVANJE SALVETNOM TEHNIKOM
Ovom tehnikom možete ukrašavati i kuhana jaja.
Potrebno:
Troslojne salvete
Bjelanjak jednog jajeta
Kist
Postupak:
Razdvojiti slojeve salvete od kojih ćemo koristiti samo gornji sloj sa uzorcima. Narežit salvete na male komadiće ili izrežite motive sa salvete kojima želite ukrasiti pisanice. Mažite jaje bjelanjkom te lijepite komadiće salvete. Kada oblijepite cijelo jaje ponovo premažite jaje bjelanjkom te ga stavite sušiti.
Komadići ljuskica u boji - obojite ispuhana jaja temperama te ih izmrvite na sitne komadiće (dovoljno velike da ih možete lagano lijepiti, a opet dovoljno male da lijepo prijanjaju uz stijenku jajeta)
Drvofix
Kist
Akrilni lak u spreju
Postupak: Nanositi ljepilo na jaje te slagati komadiće ljuskica. Kada oblijepite cijelu pisanicu, ostaviti sušiti. Nakon sušenje pošpricati lakom radi sjaja i isticanja boje ljuskica, ali i zaštite boje. Na kraju izrazati štapić.
MRAMORNA JAJA (idealna tehnika za ukrašavanje bijelih jaja)
Potrebno:
Pjena za brijanje (najobičnija, najjeftinija pjena, nikako ne gel za brijanje)
Kuhana jaja što svjetlija za najboljii efekt bijela
Tekuće prehrambene boje
Potrošna plastična posuda
Papirnati ručnici
Drveni štapić
Postupak:
Istisnite pjenu za brijanje u posudu tako da prekrije cijelo dno posude, nakapajte obilno prehrambenu boje različitih boja te pomiješajte drvenim štapićem, ali samo da se boja prošara pjenu. Uronite jaje u pjenu tako da bude cijelo prekriveno išaranom pjenom pa ga odložite na papirnati ručnik gdje ćete ga ostaviti minimalno deset minuta prije nego što obrišete pjenu papirnatim ručnikom. Za bolji efekt, ostaviti pjenu na jajetu što duže. Nakon što je jaje odstajalo prekriveno sa pjenom, možete nježno obrisati pjenu sa jajeta. Ali pazite, nemojte jako trljati da ne ostružete boju. I to je to. Mramorna jaja su gotova.

A fun and active ESL flashcard game to teach colors! “Jumping Colors” gets kids moving, learning, and laughing while practicing vocabulary. This game will boost color memorizing in a fun way while teaching "Colors" to the ESL students. You can also use it as an intro lesson when teaching "The Rainbow Colors Song".
Arrange two sets of plasticized flashcards "Colors" on the floor in the shape of two squares or circles, making sure to leave enough space in the middle where the students will stand. If it's only one child who will play this game, then you need to form just one circle. When you say the color, the child's task is to jump to the matching color/flashcard on the floor as quickly as possible.
When it comes to a larger group of students, playing in pairs is faster and more interesting, and can also work as a competitive game. In that case, divide the students into two groups/teams. One child from each group takes turns. When you say a certain color, students need to jump to the appropriate flashcard as quickly as possible. The child who first jumps to the matching color gets one point for his team or two points, but loses one point if jumping on the wrong color. You should adopt the rules of the game depending onthe students' age and level.
Ovo je jednostavan eksperiment kojim djeci možete predočiti kako nastaje duga i uvesti ih u očaravajući svijet fizike. Aktivnost također spada u STEM aktivnosti, a više o STEM-u možete pročitati u Što je stem?.
This is a simple experiment that can help children understand how a rainbow is formed and introduce them to the fascinating world of physics. The activity also falls under STEM learning.
Uvod u eksperiment/INTRODUCING THE EXPERIMENT
Prije izvođenja eksperimenta pitajte djecu što znaju o dugama: kada se pojavljuje i kako nastaje. Možete pogledat i različite edukativne video materijale na youtube kanala kao npr.:
Before starting the experiment, ask the children what they know about rainbows — when they appear and how they are formed. You can also watch a few educational videos on YouTube channels, for example:
Neposredno prije izvođenja eksperimenta, uz slikovne aplikacije, objasnite djeci da duga nastaje prolaskom bijele sunčeve svjetlosti kroz kapljice kiše gdje se ta svjetlost lomi i razdvaja u boje dugina spektra te da jednostavnim eksperimentom i vi možete stvoriti dugu.
Right before starting the experiment, use visual aids to explain to the children that a rainbow is formed when white sunlight passes through raindrops, where the light bends and splits into the colors of the rainbow spectrum. Tell them that with a simple experiment, they can create a rainbow themselves.
For the experiment, you will need:
a CD placed at an angle in a glass container filled with water (to imitate a raindrop)
a flashlight
black and white paper to reflect the rainbow (optional: the light can also be reflected on a wall)
Place the paper vertically in front of the container with the CD. When you shine the flashlight onto the CD, the rainbow will be reflected on the paper, just like in the pictures.
Za eksperiment ćete trebati:
cd položen pod kutom u staklenu posudu s vodom (imitacija kapljice vode)
ručna svjetiljka
crni i bijeli papir na kojemu ćemo reflektirati dugu (opcionalno: svjetlost se može reflektirati i na zidu)
Papir položite okomito ispred posude s cd-om. Kada uperite svjetlost prema cd-u duga će se reflektirati na papiru kao na slikama.
Nakon odrađenog eksperimeta i razgovora o istome predlažem likovnu aktivnost crtanja flomasterima ili drvenim bojicama "Kako nastaje duga"s ciljem dokumentiranja usvojenih znanja ispoznaja.
After completing the experiment and discussing it, I suggest an art activity where children draw with markers or colored pencils on the topic “How a Rainbow Is Formed.” The goal of this activity is to document their newly acquired knowledge and understanding.
This is a good song for teaching ESL students. It's easy, catchy, and educational. You can use it for the "How Is A Rainbow Formed" project. You can teach it before or after teaching "The Rainbow Colors".
Before teaching a new song, it is always required to pre-teach the targeted vocabulary. For this song, that would be sun, rain, rainbow, and flowers. Prepare the flashcards and introduce them to your students. You can use some of these FLASHCARDS GAMES IDEAS.
Depending on the English level your students are at, you can also add warmth, sound, sight, or whatever you like. It is always a great idea to use TPR as well.
After introducing the targeted vocabulary, ask students what will appear in the sky when the sun is shining and it is raining at the same time. They will probably know the answer: the rainbow.
After the conversation, sing the song using TPR. The second time, ask the students to do the TPR as well.
To boost learning, you can make for example several cards of each word you have introduced and give them to your students. Ask them to stand up each time when they hear their word. Or, you can make prompts sun, rain, rainbow, flowers, like we did, and "dramatize" the song as if it were a story. Well, it kind of is.
For the follow-up activity, ask your children to draw "How Is A Rainbow formed?".
Music is a great tool to use for teaching children the English language. When teaching children a new song, all activities should be carefully planned and managed for children to be motivated for learning.
Before introducing to children a new song, you may want to “pre-teach” some of the words. For example, if you are going to sing "The rainbow song", you should first teach children colors or revise them through playing a game for example. As always, playing is one of the best ways for learning. In that way, you will warm up children and create good group dynamics.
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, "clap" (clap with your hands).
(clap with your hands and/or say "yes").
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, (clap with your hands).
It's a rainbow, it’s a rainbow. (clap with your hands)
A beautiful rainbow in the sky. (draw an arch with your hands pointing to the sky)
After revising colors, give children rainbow colors (flashcards/blocks) for each child one color. Use color flashcards lined up as they go in the song: red. orange, yellow, green, blue, purple. Start singing the song first slowly. When children hear the color they have, they need to stand up. After warming-up, start singing the song faster, and faster - this part is the most interesting to the children. After singing, reinforce overall development in other parts of your lesson such as in art activity, a worksheet or other games e.g. "bingo game".
The Rainbow Colors Watercolor and crayons combination
One of the simplest ways to engage students’ interest is to introduce new items with a Mystery Box. You can give hints about what’s inside and have students guess. You can make one out of a shoebox. Just decorate it as you wish, and your magic box is ready to use.
Snap game Choose cards you like and place them on the floor. Invite two children to sit in front of the cards facing each other. When the teacher says a word (name of the card), children must as fast as they can slap the matching card. The winner is a child who first slaps the card. You can use flycatchers for slapping the cards.
Eraser Races Go through the picture cards that you are planning to introduce in your class. Identify the cards you think students are most likely to be familiar with. Place two of these cards on the floor at the front of the classroom. Divide the class into two teams and have them line up. Give the two students at the front of the line one eraser each. When the teacher calls out one of the cards, the two students race to put their erasers on the correct card. The first student to do so wins a point for his team. Repeat several times, and then add a third card. Play with three cards for several turns, and then add a fourth card, a fifth card, and then a sixth card, and so on. When you begin with cards that the students are a little familiar with, it allows you to slowly introduce some of the more challenging vocabulary. If you are introducing vocabulary that no students in the class know, give hints with your voice. For example, if you have a ghost card and a ballerina card, say “ghost” in a spooky voice, so the students will have an idea of which card it is.
Pass The Card The students and the teacher sit in a circle. The teacher starts by passing a picture card to the student on his right, saying, “This is a cat.” The student takes the card and passes it to the next student, saying, “This is a cat.” The card is passed around the circle. When the card returns to the teacher, the teacher puts that card aside and introduces a new picture card in the same manner. When the students have learned a few picture cards, the teacher has a few options: a) wait until a card has reached the halfway mark, then introduce a second card going in the same direction; b) introduce cards at the same time going in opposite directions, c) send 3-4 cards around the circle in the same direction with a little pause between each. Tip: four cards are probably the maximum number of cards to work with at one time.
Musical cards The students and the teacher sit in a circle. While the music is playing, the teacher starts passing a picture card to the student on his right who passes the card to another student sitting in his right, and so on. The teacher is passing as many cards as he/she wants while students pass the picture cards in a circle. When the teacher stops the music, children holding the cards at that moment need to say the name of their card.
Roll The Dice Choose six picture cards you would like to introduce and place them on the whiteboard with magnets. Give each card a number from 1 to 6, writing the numbers above the cards with your whiteboard marker. Divide the class into two teams. Give one student, any student, a big dice to roll. The whole class watches to see what number comes up. The first student to say the name of the vocabulary card with the same number as the dice wins a point for her team. If nobody knows the vocabulary card, introduce it and have the students repeat it. They’ll try hard to remember so they can answer it correctly the next time. Play until one team reaches a set amount of points. If it becomes easy, begin replacing the cards on the board with new cards.
Guess The Picture Take two sheets of paper the same size as the picture cards. Cut several small holes randomly spaced in one sheet. In the second sheet, cut larger holes in the same spots, so that the holes from both sheets of paper line up. Cover a flashcard with the large-holed sheet, and then place the small-holed sheet on top of that. When you look at the picture, you will only be able to see small parts where the holes are. Ask the children if they can guess what's in the picture, then slowly remove the large-holed sheet, revealing the picture bit by bit.
What’s Missing Teacher? Place three familiar cards face up in a row. Turn around and ask the students to turn one card over. You return and try to name the missing card. Turn the card face up again, and let the students add a card to the pile. Turn around again, and the students turn one card over. Return and name the card. Gradually add more cards to the mix. Tip: Have the students turn over only one card at a time.
Kim's game? Place four or more familiar cards face up in a row. Ask your children to close their eyes. Now, they can open their eyes and guess which one is missing. Turn that card face up again and add one more card to the pile. Ask your students to close their eyes again and turn two cards over. Gradually add a few more cards, depending on how many you have introduced at the time, and turn over more cards for students to guess what's missing.
Jumping Cards Choose 8-10 picture cards and hang them in a row on the board. Have students stand. Everyone stamps their feet left, right, left, right, left, right in a comfortable beat. Start chanting the names of the cards. After two or three rounds, turn one card over. Repeat the chant, but when you reach the card that has been turned over, everybody jumps. Turn over another card and start the chant again. You will jump twice now. Continue turning over cards until all but one of the cards have been turned over. Increase the pace or the number of cards if the students want a bigger challenge!
Do pola napuniti staklenku pijeskom, dodati tintu željene boje (za početak je dovoljno malo tinte, a kasnije možete dodavati još dok ne postignete željeni intenzitet boje), zatvoriti staklenku i tresti dok pijesak ne poprimi jednoličnu boju. Istresti u plitku posudu kako bi se pijesak osušio, a nakon što se osuši, pijesak je gotov za uporabu.
STEM je zabavan način učenja kroz igru, istraživanje i stvaranje! Djeca uče o svijetu oko sebe pomoću znanosti, tehnologije, inženjerstva i matematike — ali na način koji je zanimljiv i razumljiv. Kroz pokuse, gradnju i razne aktivnosti, razvijaju znatiželju, kreativnost i radoznali duh.
Akronim STEM u engleskom jeziku označava četiri discipline na koje su ove aktivnost usmjerene: znanost (science), tehnologija
(technology), inženjerstvo (engineering) i matematika (mathematics). Pod STEM
aktivnosti ubrajamo sve znanstvene aktivnosti koje potiču kognitivni razvoj
djece te kojima se djeci znanost približava kroz igru i zabavu.
Područja koja uključuju STEM aktivnosti dio su naše
svakodnevice- od učenja o svijetu koji nas okružuje, zvijezdama i planetima,
preko tehnoloških inovacija, dizajniranja građevina i primjene matematičkih
principa u svakodnevnom životu.
Mala djeca obožavaju učiti, po prirodi su istraživači i to
je ono što rade gotovo cijelo vrijeme. Svaki
novi pojam, svaki pokušaj i pogreška dovodi do neke nove spoznaje koja im
pomaže shvatiti svijet oko sebe. Danas se toliko inzistira na pamćenju i
ponavljanju, praznim činjenicama i znanju svega i svačega pa nije ni čudno što
su nam djeca u stalnom strahu od neuspjeha i pod stalnim pritiskom da
trebaju bolje i više.
Zašto su STEM aktivnosti sve popularnije?
U današnje vrijeme, sve su traženija zanimanja koja se
baziraju na obrazovanju iz područja STEM-a: robotika, umjetna
inteligencija, neuroznanost, molekularna biologija koja su uglavnom deficitarna i stoga dobro plaćena.Upravo to je razlog zašto mnogi roditelji potiču
djecu na STEM aktivnosti.
No, postoje i drugi razlozi: STEM aktivnosti djeci su
zabavne i drugačije, a istovremeno ih potiču na logičko razmišljanje, ali i
razvijanje kreativnosti.
Sve što trebate jest uvesti malo dodatnog poticaja i
pravilno usmjeravanje kroz igru i zabavne aktivnosti kako bi mališani razvijali
svoje sposobnosti.
STEM nije samo učenje — to je igra, istraživanje i otkrivanje svijeta! Djeca najbolje uče kad mogu pitati, eksperimentirati i stvarati. Već s jednostavnim aktivnostima kod kuće ili u vrtiću možete potaknuti znatiželju i ljubav prema učenju. Započnite s malim pokusom, gradnjom tornja ili istraživanjem prirode — i pustite mašti na volju!
Evo nekoliko jednostavnih i zabavnih STEM aktivnosti koje su idealne za djecu vrtićke i rane školske dobi — mogu se provoditi u učionici ili kod kuće:
🧪 1. Duga u staklenci (Rainbow in a Jar)
Cilj: Upoznati pojmove gustoće i boja. Opis aktivnosti pročitajte OVDJE
🧲 2. Magnetna potraga
Cilj: Istraživanje svojstava magneta. Materijali: Magneti, razni predmeti (metalni i nemetalni). Opis: Djeca pogađaju koji će se predmet “zalijepiti” za magnet, zatim testiraju i uče kroz pokus.
🌱 3. Promatranje rasta biljke
Cilj: Upoznati životni ciklus biljke. Materijali: Prozirna čaša, vata, zrno graha, voda. Opis: Zrno se stavi na vatu i svakodnevno promatra kako klija i raste. Djeca prate promjene i bilježe ih.
🧠 4. Tornjevi od čaša ili kocaka
Cilj: Razvijanje logičkog razmišljanja i motoričkih vještina. Materijali: Plastične čaše, kocke ili lego kocke. Opis: Djeca pokušavaju izgraditi najviši toranj koji se neće srušiti — uče kroz pokušaj i pogrešku.
🌊 5. Brodići koji plutaju
Cilj: Istraživanje uzgona i materijala. Materijali: Kora, stiropor, čačkalice, papir, zdjela s vodom. Opis: Djeca izrađuju male brodiće i testiraju koji materijali najbolje plutaju.
📌 Savjet: STEM aktivnosti ne moraju biti komplicirane — najbolje su one koje potiču djecu na pitanja, promatranje i istraživanje.
Uz svaku aktivnost možeš dodati i kratku raspravu: “Zašto misliš da se ovo dogodilo?” ili “Što bi se dogodilo da promijenimo nešto?” 🌟
