How to keep children's interest in science and re-fall in love with you, our world

If you do not care to explore the secrets of memory and you do not have an impressive scale of the universe, whence undertake to interest children in science?

Recently I wondered why the children do not like "any scientific garbage." Well the truth is, it hurts to look like walking on the lessons from the men of our future is some kind of unreal strained. And then it dawned on me - the kids love it, from which delighted their parents. If you do not care to explore the secrets of memory, if you do not have an impressive scale of the universe and all of you explain the power of boards painted in gold, where the children will undertake this interest?

I went ahead and decided to spend a lesson in physics and chemistry in a class of his son. Children 6-7 years old, second grade. Very quickly remade the lesson children in the name of "experiments". Running and shouting: "Experiments, experiment! Who will be experiments, experiments! ". Then I realized that everything will be fine. ;)

I invited them to the theme "Molecules. What is it and why it is necessary to think about them. " Experiments for 40 minutes was a lot, but these are the main:

• beautiful theme with fire snakes - tablet dry calcium gluconate burning alcohol;
• flies in a bottle with a burning piece of paper boiled egg;
• "Ocean waves" in the bottle from the oil unmixing and colored water;
• lava lamp with oil, juice and effervescent tablet of aspirin;
• Mass Film development "spy letters" written milk alcohol burner, and so on. d.

And then he understood. The most interesting for the children turned out to be the most uninteresting for me to experiment with not mixed oil and water. They literally jumped for joy, it is so strange to me-working and e-e-Slow laps - like the ocean in a movie. Then they drew molecules on the blackboard with chalk, pen on hand and poked his fingers into each other, to determine how many molecules are crushed. :) It was great.

Make you a lesson in the senior group of kindergarten, in the junior class. They say that children are boring 40 minutes. This is not true. I can not put photos of children at the time of aerial shelled eggs in a bottle, or while pitching ocean in a bottle, as it does not ask for permission from their parents. But I assure you, you will get a much larger amount of cheerfulness and optimism. And if you have problems with motivation, try to fall in love with the world around again. Not one that is inhabited by vampires, terrorists and stupid politicians, kleptomania, and one in which chemical reactions are constantly taking place ...

... which made so the elements that make up we are with you, and the very children ...

... where there are people who think as well (some bad words, warning)!

A focuses on chemistry and physics, you find on YouTube easily as it did just a couple of hours I was.

And share, how was your lesson. ;)

P. S. And even buy a child a telescope instead of a new iPhone itself!
