ADVENTURE OF KNOWLEDGE
2
PHYSICA INSITA
Target groups

• MOTIVATION
• Promoting the kids trust to the fact that the
  surrounding world is understandable on the
  rational basis
• Introducing physics as a part of cultural
  heritage
• Combining natural sciences with fine arts
• Revealing of the way how specific physical terms
  are understood by small kids

2 classes kindergarden kids aged 4 to 6
2 classes of kids aged from 8 to 9

METHOD-CRAYON PHYSICS
Hands on experiments
Demonstrations
Paintings of protocols
Project outcome

LIMITS OF METHOD

• Duration of each presentation should not exceed
  45 minutes
• Each presentation should consist of maximally 3
  simple statements proven by experiments
• in the painting phase one must carefully balance
  between giving the kids unlimited freedom in
  expressing their impressions from experiments on
  one side and requiring only graphical record of
  realized paintings on the other side.

EXAMPLE THE AIR
The air occupies the space empty glass is not
empty The air can exert a force The air is
compressible The hot air goes upwards baloons

EXAMPLESOUND

• Sound is mechanical wave
• It spreads in the space from point to point in
  solids , liquids and gases
• Concept of frequency and
• Resonance

Demonstration of the fact that the sound is
mechanical wave, playing on the flute or hitting
on the end of the pipe the blows out the candle

3 experiments are displayed
A set of bottles with different amount of water
different pitch of the note
Duck like sounds produced by wet cord
Shirrs of different lengths produce different
sounds

EXAMPLELIGHT

• Light wave goes straitforward
• Light reflects concept of mirror
• Refraction of light
• White light color spectrum

CONCLUSIONS

• The kids really take the course as the fun and
  they do not consider they learn,
• but they play scientists in the same way, like
  they play mum and daddy, doctor, policemen etc
  ..
• Danger one must avoid being of the MAGIC-MAN in
  kindergarten, and avoid
• kids in elementary school to transform to
  cyclopedia eaters more thinking, than reading
• Even such a small kids are able to form their own
  vision of the basic physical terms, however, some
  are understood in a very special way- gravity is
  due to the big strong muscle buried deep in the
  ground
• Open task is continuing to search for optimal
  balance between the freedom in drawings content
  and the precise copying of experiments realized
  the day before

• My thanks to
• The kids for their enthusiasm and originality of
  interpretation
• Teachers for their interest in the project and
  technical help
• Professional painter Mgr. Art. Andrea Cepiáková
  for methodical
• help in the painting part of the project
• but first of all to Dr. Marián Mihalik and
  Klárka Broschová as they are helping me in
  choosing proper topics and experiments
