The document summarizes various activities and experiments conducted with children in Estonia relating to water and plants from November 2019 to February 2020. The children performed experiments observing how water affects plants and flowers, testing solubility, and modeling the water cycle. They also grew various trees and composited plants. The goal was to introduce children to science concepts involving water and help them better understand natural processes like plant growth and the water cycle through hands-on experimentation and observation.

1. Presentation of
Estonia
FEBRUARY 2020

2. • Different activities with water was performed throughout November
2019 till February 2020.
• We made open workshops to introduce children different experiments
with water (how to get quickly frozen water, does needle float on the
water, colored water with a flower etc).
• We grew plants and watered them (and not, what happens if plant do
not get enough water )
• We composed plants that we have grown (added some earthworms).
• We grew different trees (hazel, pine, spruce, oak, chestnut, apple)

3. Experiments with water and plants

4. Experiment with plants
Will horticultural products
start to grow even without
roots?
After 10 days the leaves have grown

5. Results of composting
2 months have
passed
3 weeks have passed 1 month have
passed

7. Experiment with flowers
Will a white flower turn
blue in blue water?
Flowers after 1 week
We did not expect such a
result

8. Christmas tree decorations made of spruce cones

9. 6 different trees are grown in group
Lepatriinud (5-6 years old children)

10. Fastest grew chestnut tree. Spruce is growing from cone.

11. Experiment: Soluble and insoluble things in
water

12. Experiment. What happens to garbage in the
water?
After a week. Only the napkin
is partially decomposed
Fish and garbage

13. Lepatriinud visited exhibition where they learned from Mandy Barker what consists sea (trash!).
Her purpose was to get humans attention!

14. Group work to figure out how water cycle
works and how watercolor reacts if paper is
already wet.

15. Smoothie morning: children learned about the
fruits of different plants

16. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!
