OVERLAPPING OF COGNITIVE ACTIVITY WITH GAME ELEMENTS DURING PRE-SCHOOL NATURAL-SCIENCE EDUCATION

Feature of process of formation of children (5 - 6 years old children) in pre-school group that primary activity of children of the given age game and research of the nearest environment. The teacher working in group of pre-school education, should be gifted with the big imagination and patience what to combine children's aspiration all activity to transform into game with their natural desire to learn all around. At the same time it is necessary to bring up the active, independent pupil for successful education in a primary school. To organize supervision above objects of wildlife, in opinion of the author, it is easier, as it initially is more emotional, than supervision above objects not wildlife. That the last became more attractive activity, cognitive activity should be combined with game elements. In clauses one example of such overlapping is represented to readers. Start for the described activity became a usual situation in the winter when children, having returned from a school court yard, have told, that “the snow is not sticky!”. Right after it who that has made a question “Why sometimes the snow is sticky, and sometimes is not present?” The teacher at once has taken advantage of a situation and has suggested children to bring in a class of a snow for finding-out of this question. The idea with pleasure has been accepted. Children have brought some buckets of a snow in a class. Except for the basic question, others rose also, on an example, what such a snow of what it is made where disappears? Children felt a snow, smelt, examined through a magnifier, melt them between hands, blowing warm air from a mouth, warming up fire spirit bulbs; by a sand-glass have measured time, comparing speed of thawing. A snow children even weighed. Children have made sure, that the snow has no smell, it is made with small crystals of ice. Children have noticed, that holding a snow in hands of a palm become wet, and snowflakes break up, become shapeless, soft and sticky. Someone has exclaimed it is already possible to mould pies. Having taken a snow above fire it became water. Measuring time, children have established communication between time of thawing and an ambient temperature. They were surprised with the fact, that the full bucket of a snow weighs the same as also one third of bucket of water after thawing. As children have made sure that the snow not absolutely pure and is not suitable for eating. While everyone have been borrowed in researches, the snow in buckets started to thaw and became sticky. It is a high time to check up conclusions. Mittens on palms, polyethylene bags on a floor, a snow on bags and in before in the country of snow gnomes!
