Sciences Activities in Preschool Age: The case of elementary magnetic properties
Journal Title: JOURNAL OF ADVANCES IN HUMANITIES - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
This article present the results of a research relating to the construction of elementary magnetic properties in pre-school children. Five to six year old children, in small groups, had at their disposal different types of magnets as well as diverse objects which could be attracted by them. The proposed hypothesis is that by performing various activities (playing) with them, the children on the one hand would discover the attractive force exerted on certain metallic materials and on the other would distinguish the objects which were not thus attracted. We also formed the hypothesis that the children would discover the mutual forces of interaction by using the magnets. The teachers observed the activities, encouraged and questioned each child and intervened in order to help the children to co-ordinate their activities which were becoming more and more complex. The analysis of the protocols gave us results which seem to confirm the hypotheses.
