OUR CLIMATE - Somewhere over the rainbow

In our area, a multi-colored rainbow appears very often, the children love it very much and recreated it themselves to have it in their room, so that it would be colorful every day!

                                                  

OUR CLIMATE - Weather station

We made an 🌪anemometer🌪 with which we can measure the wind speed according to the number of rotations of the device in 30 sec. (cups) 

We also made a hygrometer with which we can measure the humidity of the air - when the air is humid, the cone shrinks to protect its seeds and the straw is higher, when it is drier - it dissolves and the straw moves down. Our two measurements for the day are two hours apart.

OUR CLIMATE - Types of clouds

         The children learned to distinguish the clouds, which clouds portend rain, which are rainy and which clouds indicate that the weather will be good. The children also understood how clouds affect the climate.

First, the teacher talks to the children about the different types of clouds, what information they give us about the weather, how the clouds affect the climate.

The children already know from the previous activity what the Water Drop Way is. And now the teacher explains to them that the higher the temperature, the faster the water evaporates, which leads to more water vapor in the atmosphere and therefore more clouds.

Different types of clouds in different places have different effects on the climate. Some shade the ground, cooling the climate over the area. Others increase the greenhouse effect by retaining water vapor and droplets.

To show that they learned and understood everything, the children made a model with different types of clouds.

OUR CLIMATE - Ants - nature's helpers

 The children enrich their knowledge about nature, how ants help our climate, develop fine motor skills when working with clay.

 At the beginning of the activity, the teacher introduced the children to the different ecosystems, focusing on ants. The children also looked at various encyclopedias, from which they learned where insects live, what their houses look like, what they eat and how they help nature.

In our House of Knowledge, which is located in the yard of the kindergarten, there are various devices for insect observation. The children closely observed the various insects with magnifying glasses - ladybugs, ants and others. 

Finally, they made a model of an anthill - they learned what its structure is, what the ant's cycle is - from egg to ant, how the ant works tirelessly in the anthill and what the ants contribute to our climate.Because ants make a great contribution to ecosystems and climate.

NATURE PROTECTION Friends of the bees

Why are we friends of bees? 

Nothing could exist without bees. There will be no fruits, seeds, plants. The number of bees in the world is rapidly declining, but we can protect them by creating small and fragrant oases for them. These little buzzing creatures will be very grateful to us.

NATURE PROTECTION Live Martenitsa Campaign

 During this activity the children learned how important plants are for our nature, how to plant seeds and take care of them.

This activity was carried out in two stages.

The first stage included the preparation for the Bulgarian national holiday Baba Marta, for which it is necessary to make martenitsas. These martenitsas are a gift for health. When spring comes, they are removed and hung on a tree. The children made martenitsas from the biodegradable tape and decorated them with white and red threads.

The second stage of the activity continued with the planting of the biodegradable tape. The children took their martenitsas, removed their decoration and with the help of shovels and rakes, each child planted his tape in the ground in the yard of the kindergarten.

NATURE PROTECTION The water drop way

 The water drop way - experiments with water

The children from Detelina Kindergarten learned how important water is for our planet Earth to be healthy. They performed various scientific experiments with water.

In the first experiment, the teacher first explains to the children that some things are light and float on the water surface, and some are heavy and sink. To convince themselves of this, the children begin to drop various objects into the glasses of water to check which will sink and which will emerge.

In the second experiment, the children observed how the water literally wanted to come out of the glass of water. The teacher colors the water in the glasses with different colors, puts paper napkins between each glass and the children see how the colored water "climbs" up the napkin and wants to go to the other glass.

In the third experiment, the children learn exactly how flowers "drink" water. The teacher colors the water in the glasses and puts white flowers in them. The flowers are colored in the same color as the color of the water in which they are immersed.
