In Kindergarten Jelka we apply active learning
techniques and we enable children to learn
through their active participation and play.
We do a lot of experiments with them and here
are some of the most interesting examples.

11. EXPERIMENT –MIXING DIFFERENT FLUIDS
We have learned and experimented how different fluids and water mix. We tried out
mixing oil and other kind of fluids and substances and we have mixed them with water.
HOW CAN WE FIND DIFFERENCES
BETWEEN BASE AND ACID PROPERTIES
Mixing different substances and learning difference
between base and acid with colours.
We have cooked red cabbage with water and got red
cabbage sauce/fluid.
Into the cabbage fluid we have mixed different substances
such as lemon juice, vinegar, soda,…..
And look what magic we did. We have created different colours when adding acid and bases.

12. LEARNING ABOUT DIFFERENT FORMS OF
WATTER – LIQUID, ICE AND GAS
We explored water in different conditions
and we have discovered how it can be
liquid, ice or in gas condition
WATER CYCLE EXPERIMENT

13. In May 2014 preschool teachers Peter Pucelj and Nejc Bizant
prepared for children water cycle model and experiment.
We boiled water and observed turning in to steam, going up
the air and coming down in the form of raindrops.
Additionaly we learned about
water cycle also with help of smart
board and by observing nature.
EXPERIMENTS WITH AIR
Look what happens when we warm air in the bottle:
We learned that hot water goes up and cold down 

14. EXPERIMENTS WITH AIR
Look what happens when we warm air in the bottle:
We learned that hot water goes up and cold down 
We have explored sound and did sound experiments.
We made simple phone with plastic glases.
Do you know you can play on glasses? We had lots of fun

15. Experiments with fire – we have learned when fire burns
and when it does not.
We connected experiments with fire safety.

16. LET’S CLEAN THE WATER 
EXPERIMENTS WITH ELECTRICITY.

„Let‘s make our world more green and clean“
„Experiment with water“
Few days in our preschool together with children we try to check, how can
we use our water in our lessons, children experimented what material is
soluble in water, which material drowning or which material floating.
We have salt, sugar, semolina and sand to put into the water.

21. Children tried to give a colour for water, they put some drops
of paint into the water.
What drowns and what floats?
A car goes down...because...is heavy.

22. Pieces of paper floats...because...they are light.

23. SCIENCE EXPERIMENT WITH WATER: “FLOAT OR SINK”
“Float or Sink” it is a science experiment that many kids have done by
the time. It was science activity, which we wanted to try how to float and
sink different things around us.
We gathered the materials to test and made our chart. Than we testing
and have the results. It’s so simple, and yet so fun.

EEXPERIMENTSXPERIMENTS WITHWITH CCHILDRENHILDREN
Children learn better by active participation and experimentation. By encouraging them to
make experiments, to observe, to compare the results and to draw conclusions they become
more aware and conscious the effects of the educational process. They become as well better
motivated to further activities.

57. Science experiment: The circle of water

58. This experiment we found in Aftenposten Junior; a national weekly newspaper for children.
We conducted the experiment with students on the world water day. It is easy, but nice, and
makes the circle of life very visible to the children.
You need:
- a large bowl, in plastic or glass, it must be
see-through
- a small coffee cup
- plastic wrapping foil
- a rock
- scissors
- water
- a large rubber band (or
tape)
How to do it:
1. Place the bowl by a window with lots of
sun, or in another warm place. Put the cup in
the middle of the bowl and pour 1 cm of
water around the cup. Make sure you do not
get water inside the cup!
2. Put plastic wrapping foil over the bowl and
attach it with the rubber band or tape.
3. Put a rock on the foil to make a dent in the
middle.
4. Leave it in the sun
for one day (or more),
then remove the plastic
and look into the cup.
What happened?
There will be a little water in the bottom of
the cup.
The heat from the sun made some of the
water evaporate into an invisible gas. This
gas became liquid again when it reached the
cold plastic foil and it dripped into the cup.
