Project "Creative Workshop"
PROJECT PASSPORT
"CREATIVE WORKSHOP"
(for children of senior preschool age 5-6 years)
Project problem.
Today, in preschool, the problem of organizing children's activities in understanding the world around them - research and experimentation - has not been sufficiently developed. This activity equally influences the development of the child’s personality as well as gaming. Ideally, the presence of these two truly children's activities is a favorable condition for the comprehensive development of preschoolers.
The child is presented with ready-made truths, ready-made conclusions and generalizations. Instead of creating the conditions to examine, experiment, create, get some result yourself. The child is forced to receive ready-made information about how other people learned about the world and what they once learned about the object being studied. Such passive perception of information about the world around us does not make it possible for children to develop high cognitive activity. This can lead to the fact that it will be difficult for children to independently acquire knowledge and study.
Relevance of the project.
Experimentation gives children real ideas about the various aspects of the object being studied, about its relationships with other objects and with the environment. By experimenting, the child hears, sees and does everything himself, so new knowledge is acquired firmly and for a long time. A Chinese proverb says: “Tell me and I will forget, show me and I will remember, let me try and I will understand.” The more varied and intensively a child experiments, the more new information he receives, the faster and more fully he develops. At the same time, the child’s memory is enriched, his attention, thinking, and imagination are activated. The need to talk about what you saw develops speech. It is impossible not to note the positive impact of experiments on the emotional sphere of the child, on the development of creative abilities, on the formation of work skills and the promotion of health. You can study plants, animals, humans, and inanimate objects. In most cases, this does not require any special equipment.
The child’s need for new impressions underlies the emergence and development of inexhaustible orienting (search) activity aimed at understanding the world around him. The more varied and intense the search activity, the more new information the child receives, the faster and more fully he develops.
Organization of project activities with preschoolers, through cultural practices, one of the types of which is the cognitive and research activity of children, with the help of which they learn about the world around them. Observing demonstrations of experiments and practicing their reproduction allows children to become discoverers and explorers of the world that surrounds them. Preschoolers are characterized by an orientation towards understanding the world around them and experimenting with objects and phenomena of reality. Experiments carried out independently by children contribute to the creation of a model of the phenomenon being studied and the generalization of the results obtained effectively. They create conditions for the opportunity to draw independent conclusions about the value significance of physical phenomena for a person and himself.
Objective of the project.
Organization of cultural practices for older preschoolers stimulating
manifestation of curiosity, willingness to experiment, and the ability to combine knowledge obtained from different sources.
Project objectives:
- expand children’s ideas about the world around them through acquaintance with
basic knowledge from various fields of science;
- develop the ability to observe, analyze, compare, identify characteristic, essential features of objects and phenomena, and generalize them based on these features;
— to form ways of cognition in preschoolers through sensory analysis;
— involve parents in children’s experimental research activities;
- develop an emotional and value-based attitude towards the nature of the native land.
Project type:
cognitive-research.
Project type:
group.
Project participants:
older children, teachers, parents.
Implementation timeframe:
short-term (one week).
Predicted result.
Organizing the cultural practices of older preschoolers in experimental activities will arouse children’s interest in exploring nature and the surrounding world, develop mental operations (analysis, synthesis, classification, generalization, etc.), stimulate the child’s cognitive activity and curiosity, activate the perception of educational material on familiarization with natural phenomena, with the basics of mathematical knowledge, with the ethical rules of life in society.
Children will develop observation and inquisitiveness of mind, a desire to understand the world, and the ability to use non-standard solutions in difficult situations;
In children's speech, their vocabulary will be enriched with various terms, and the ability to construct their answers to questions grammatically correctly will be consolidated. Children’s ability to ask questions, follow the logic of their statements, and construct evidence-based speech is improved;
The interaction of children with peers and adult project participants will stimulate the emergence of initiative, independence, the ability to cooperate with others, the need to defend their point of view, coordinate it with others, etc.

Project implementation results (result)
During the project, children participated in research activities with interest; became acquainted with the properties of different types of objects through experiments; learned to draw conclusions, solve problematic problems, and make generalizations.
Children began to more actively show initiative, independence, and the ability to cooperate with others. We felt the need to defend our point of view and coordinate it with others.
Children's speech was enriched with various terms, their ability to ask grammatically correct questions and construct their answers, follow the logic of their statements, and construct demonstrative speech was improved.
During the project, parents were consulted and involved in joint experimental activities with children.
The result of the project was entertainment - an evening of questions and answers: “Journey to a magical land”

Annex 1.
Consultation for parents: “The role of the family in the development of the child’s search and research activity»
It is known that not a single educational or educational task can be successfully solved without fruitful contact with the family and complete mutual understanding between parents and teachers. And parents must realize that they are raising their children by their own example.
Every minute of communication with a child enriches him and shapes his personality.
In individual conversations and consultations through various types of visual propaganda, we convince parents of the need for daily attention to their children's joys and sorrows. How right are those who build their communication with the child as an “equal”, support the cognitive interest of children, their desire to learn new things, independently figure out the incomprehensible, the desire to delve into the essence of objects, phenomena, reality.
So that parents follow the wise advice of V.A. Sukhomlinsky: “Know how to open one thing to the child in the world around him, but open it in such a way that a piece of life sparkles in front of the children with all the colors of the rainbow.
Always leave something unsaid so that the child will want to return again and again to what he has learned.”
Here are some tips for parents on developing children’s research activity:
What not to do and what to do?
To maintain children's interest in cognitive experimentation.
You should not brush aside your child’s wishes, even if they seem impulsive to you. Indeed, these desires may be based on such an important quality as curiosity.
Encourage curiosity, which generates the need for new experiences: it generates the need for exploration.
You cannot refuse to participate in joint activities with your child, games, etc. – a child cannot develop in an environment where adults are indifferent to him.
Provide the child with the opportunity to act with different objects and materials, encourage experimentation with them, forming in children a motive associated with the internal desires to learn new things, because it is interesting and pleasant, to help him in this with your participation.
Momentary prohibitions without explanation hinder the child’s activity and independence.
If you have a need to prohibit something, be sure to explain why you are prohibiting it and help determine what is possible or how it is possible.
Do not endlessly point out the mistakes and shortcomings of the child’s activities. Awareness of one's failure leads to the loss of all interest in this type of activity.
From early childhood, encourage your child to complete the work he has started, emotionally evaluate his volitional efforts and activity. Your positive assessment is most important to him.
The impulsive behavior of a preschooler in combination with cognitive activity, as well as his inability to foresee the consequences of his actions, often leads to actions that we. Adults, we consider it a violation of rules and requirements. Is it so?
If the act is accompanied by the child’s positive emotions, initiative and ingenuity, and the goal is not to harm anyone, then this is not an offense, but a prank.
Showing interest in the child’s activities, talk with him about his intentions, goals (this will teach him goal setting), how to achieve the desired result (this will help him understand the process of activity). Ask about the results of the activity, how the child achieved them (he acquires the ability to formulate conclusions, reasoning and arguing.
“The best discovery is the one that a child makes himself!” (Ralph W. Emerson.)
Appendix 2.
Description of experiments.
1). "Why does everything sound"
Task:
lead children to understand the causes of sound: vibration of an object.
Material:
tambourine, glass beaker, newspaper, wooden ruler, metallophone.
Move:
Game “What does it sound like?” - the teacher invites the children to close their eyes, and he makes sounds using objects known to them. Children guess what it sounds like. Why do we hear these sounds? What is sound? Children are asked to imitate in their voice how a mosquito rings (z-z-z-z). How a fly buzzes (w-w-w). How does a bumblebee buzz? (oooh) Then each child is asked to touch the string of the instrument, listen to its sound and then touch the string with his palm to stop the sound. What happened? Why did the sound stop? The sound continues as long as the string vibrates. When she stops, the sound also disappears. Does a wooden ruler have a voice? Children are asked to make a sound using a ruler. We press one end to the table, and clap the free end with our palm. What happens to the ruler? (Trembles, hesitates). How to stop the sound? (Stop the ruler from oscillating). We extract sound from a glass glass using a stick and stop. When does sound arise? The sound occurs when air moves back and forth very quickly. This is called oscillation. Why does everything sound? What other objects can you name that will sound?
2). "Clear water"
Task:
identify the properties of water (transparent, odorless, pours, has weight).
Materials:
two opaque jars (one filled with water), a glass jar with a wide neck, spoons, a bowl of water, a tray, object pictures.
Progress:
Droplet came to visit. Who is Droplet? What does she like to play with? On the table, two opaque jars are closed with lids, one of them is filled with water. Children are asked to guess what is in these jars without opening them. Are they the same weight? Which one is easier? Which one is heavier? Why is it heavier? We open the jars: one is empty - therefore light, the other is filled with water. How did you guess that it was water? What color is it? What does the water smell like? An adult invites the children to fill a glass jar with water. To do this, they are offered a variety of containers to choose from. What is more convenient to pour? How to prevent water from spilling on the table? What are we doing? (Pour, pour water.) What does the water do? (Pours) Let's listen to how it pours. What sound do we hear? When the jar is filled with water, children are invited to play the game “Recognize and Name” (looking at pictures through the jar). What did you see? Why is the picture so clear? What kind of water? (Transparent) What have we learned about water?
3). Game “Why is a butterfly like a flower?”
If a child asks such a question, you can give him a ready answer - tell him that this is how the butterfly is trying to deceive its enemies, to hide from them. Or you can convince him of this in a different way by playing. An adult will play with a child and only then ask: why does he think a butterfly looks like a flower?
For the game you need: thin cardboard, the plane of which is divided into 2 parts - one white, the other floral, like a flower meadow; butterfly on a magnet; magnet.
The butterfly is placed on cardboard and moves along the surface using magnets. A butterfly “flies” to a white field - and is visible to the whole world, it ends up on a colored plane - and immediately becomes invisible to the eye: it is not immediately detectable.
Appendix 3.
Logic problems.
1. Purpose:
identifying children's knowledge about the properties of materials and objects
- Why can't we see air? (transparent, colorless, odorless)
- Why is the spoon visible in a glass of water, but not in a glass of milk? (water is clear)
— Why, when we pour salt or sugar into a glass of water, the water remains clear, but when we add honey or clay, the water becomes cloudy? (water is a solvent, but not all substances dissolve in water).
Why do puddles dry quickly after rain when it’s hot, but when it’s cool it takes a long time? (water evaporates when heated)
— When the water boils in the kettle, what do you see above it? (steam).
— Why can you take water with your hands in winter and it won’t spill out? (it's cold in winter, the water turns into ice and snow)
— Why do bubbles appear when you lower a piece of soil into water? (there is air in the soil, because worms, moles, and beetles live there, and they breathe)
— What will happen to the soil if you water it with dirty water (the bud will become dirty, but for the life of animals and plants the soil needs to be clean)
— Why do we use a magnet when we mix wooden objects and nails to separate them? (magnet attracts everything iron).
2. Purpose:
identifying children’s knowledge about the properties of materials; natural phenomena; seasonal changes in nature.
(based on works of children's fiction).
Glass
During the day, during a walk in kindergarten, children splashed through puddles. And in the evening, when we returned home, the puddles were covered with glass. It broke into small pieces with a crash as soon as you stepped on it with your foot.
I want to know, ask you: What kind of glass is this? Why did the puddles become covered with it in the evening? Why did it break with a crash?
Beads
At the dacha, the children got up early. And they immediately ran to the garden, where flowers and tall grass grew. They noticed large and transparent beads of water on each flower. They sparkled and shimmered in the sun. What's happened? - the children were surprised. Do you know what this is? At what time of day are they on the grass and flowers and why?
Ships
I came to the pond. How many colorful boats are on the pond today: yellow, red, orange!
The wind drove them here. Such a boat will descend and immediately float away. Many more of them will arrive today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow. And then there will be no boats and the pond will freeze. What kind of boats?
What time of year do they occur? Why?
White flies.
In the morning Lenochka went to kindergarten. White flies swirled in the air. “How beautiful,” Lenochka thought, “I need to show them to the guys.” She held out the mitten. The flies smoothly and obediently settled on her. Helen carefully (cautiously) brought them into the kindergarten and called the children to look. But when the guys approached, droplets of water glistened on their mittens. What kind of flies were these? What happened to them in kindergarten and why? At what time of year do white flies fly?
