NATURE EXPERIMENT ARRANGEMENT IN THE PRIMARY SCHOOL

In this manuscript there a new method that possesses an element of early development of children is introduced. In this case the “game”, that learns the boys and girls of the primary school to perform the laboratory work, is suggested. The students of the primary school are divided into small groups consisting of four–five members. Each member of the group carries out one's duty: the leader of the group communicates with a teacher, organizes and controls of the work done; the writer of the group fills in the special notebook; the investigators perform their duties that depend on the carrying investigations. It is emphasized, that the members change their activities in a week. First of all, the primary school students are acquainted with the aim of experiments, the order of their performing and the result description. We recommend to teach the students to use the laboratory equipment that is necessary for the experiments and to explain the arising problems at the beginning of the investigations. At the second lesson, each group receives the investigation notebook in which the description of the experiment, the duties of each member, the schedule of duty changes, a result table are presented. It is very important that each member of the group understands the aim and the order of performing the experiment. Of course, the game winner should be awarded. To be convinced of obtaining good development results applying the above described method, we have performed several examinations of the third class students after performing the laboratory work. The nineteen students from twenty nine recommend to use a magnet to recognize the button having iron. The sixteen students from 32 mentioned length and time to determine the fastest student in the school. Thus, the good development results were achieved. It implies, that the element of the early development of children should be successfully adapted in the primary school. At present, we have no possibility to compare the knowledge of the students performing the natural experiments while applying the above described method and the students who are not involved in this “game”. Thus, the widen investigations could be performed.
