Abstract
„Children to children. Let‘s do experiments together“ is the project where senior students share their experience and knowledge among primary school students. The senior students prepare for such kind of activities very responsibly: they search for information not only in the student‘s books, but also in extra literature and prepare the interesting worksheets. Every experiment starts from the theoretical part where the senior students try to introduce the primary students to activities. Later they do experiments: examine the snow cover, the amount of starch in different kinds of potatoes, identify the tree age and compare the prints of tree trunks, study the fingerprints using the microscopes, produce lemonade, construct the fountain in the classroom, learn to make a fire without matches, construct the robots from the material for recycling. We are glad that students can do the experiments themselves. Such kind of collaboration is very useful. The bright students can actualize their abilities, develop their competencies in studying. The adaptation process is much easier at the beginning of the school year in the fifth grade because the students are still in close relationship with their first teacher. All students approve that such kind of lessons are very interesting and useful.
