Work with the water cycle in the preschool : 3-5 year olds thoughts about the water cycle (English)
Abstract [en]

The aim of this study is to investigate if pedagogues, by different activities, can increase childrens awareness and curiosity for the ecological water cycle. Further, to identify the thoughts children between three and five years old have about the ecological water cycle. In order to review this, eight children participated in four group activities, and afterwards they were interviewed individually about their thoughts regarding water. The children were aware that water occurs in different aggregation forms, which is important to know when trying to understand the ecological water cycle. The activities were a valuable method to stimulate childrens interest in the ecological water cycle. It was reviled that it is difficult for children to understand the abstract parts in the water cycle, such as water vapor. Most of the children were able to describe a simple variant of the water cycle.

Abstract [sv]

Syftet med detta arbete är att undersöka om pedagogerna genom aktiviteter kan utveckla barnens intresse för vattnets kretslopp samt vilka tankar som barn i tre till femårsålder har om vattnets kretslopp. För att komma fram till resultatet så har 8 barn deltagit i fyra gruppaktiviteter och efter det har de intervjuats enskilt om deras tankar kring vatten. Alla barnen visste att vatten förekommer i olika aggregationsformer. För att förstå processen kring vattnets kretslopp är det viktigt att förstå att vatten förekommer i olika aggregationsformer. De aktiviteter som användes i studien visade sig vara bra aktiviteter för att stimmulera barnens intresse för vattnets kretslopp. Det är svårt för barnen att förstå det abstrakta i kretsloppet, som till exempel vattenånga. Flertalet av barnen kunde redogöra för en enkel variant av vattnets kretslopp.
