Expected Outcomes
Pre-school
Get the children to
know and become
aware of the concept
of:
• Sun - day & night, heat,
light source, seasons
• Shadow - need of
light, objects
• Colours – different
colours, mixing, rainbow
• Sources - sun, lamps,
torch etc
• Reflection - mirror,
prismas, cds etc
• Energy – the relation
between the sun and the
food, heat and energy source

of:
Get the children to
know and become
aware of the concept of:
• Sun – source energy,
light and describe the activitys
inside
• Shadow – can
construct shadow using
geometry
• Colours – can link
colors and wavelenghts
• Sight
working of eyes and
cameras
• Refraction –
n1* sin a1 = n2 * sin a2
• Sources – identify
• Reflection – can
• Importance of
organism – carbon
• Energy – E=hf
• Society - importance
construct geometricly
cycle
in cultures
• Diffusion
light is diffuse
• Speed of light
has a limit
• Optics
can work with basic optic
formulas
• Wave/particle
know the duality
• Solar cells
can describe the working
Activities
• Sun - day & night ,
temperature
• Shadow - chasing
shadwos, Plato´s allegory,
projector game
• Colours – Newton´s
disc, kominations of colours
(finger painting), milk
experiment
• Sources - recognition
of light sources
• Reflection experiment with mirrors,
prismas, cds and other
reflecting materials
• Energy - solar panel

using cameras and torches.
• Refraction – Put
pencils in glass bowls of water.
• Importance of
organisms –
Compare the effect of light on
the growth of seeds. (1 in dark
and 1 in light)
• Society - Role-play
using Jigsaw Method. 6
characters, each has a
different opinion on the
matter. The children debate
about a solution to the
problem.

Knowledge of the subject
Suggestions to Parents
• The teacher can provide an after-school
workshop to parents advising them on how to
promote scientific thinking at home.
• Allow parents to link the children’s work to the
school website, blog, information letters etc
• Encourage parents to use scientific vocabulary at
home.
• Encourage parents to conduct simple
experiments at home. E.g. mirror writing,
mirroetunnel, etc.
Suggestions to Parents
Bare with us!

School
Family
Suggestions to Universtiy
Teachers
• Collaborative group work because it promotes cooperation.
• Encourage the practice of experiments using everyday
materials.
• Develop teacher competencies in student teachers.
• Hold regular debates to develop scientific argumentation
skills.
• Involve the students in as many of the activities that the
children will do so that they can experience a child’s
perspective.
• Multicultural and ethnical education
• Cooperate with different companies eg Computer
design/programs
Teaching Evaluation
• Teacher evaluate their own teaching on a
continuous basis.
• Observing, questions to get feedback of what
the children understand and then we evaluate
our work in order to adjust our teaching to the
needs of our children.
Learning Evaluation
Thank you!
• Observe children during group work.
• Observe pupil understanding from debates
and discussions.
• Children fill out self-evaluation questionnaire.
