Learningscenario

Bringing Nature Back with Little Hands

This Learning Scenario develops students' problem-solving skills by transforming a pre-school garden into a natural learning area using nature-based solutions (NBS). As a result of the examinations made in the school garden, students determine the products and prototypes they want to design in collaboration. In the stage of determining the materials they will use, they test their durability, usability and suitability for the product they design with certain tools and determine their products. In the group meetings, they explain the design they have determined and the materials they will use to their friends through group spokespeople and make improvements with the question-and-answer method. After designing their products, they test them and see if they serve their purpose, and make improvements again. With five weeks of exploratory, practical, STEM-integrated activities, children aged 3-5 obtain data by observing their products to see if they can find solutions to environmental problems. They apply their engineering and technology skills to design creative solutions, reflect on their learning by collecting data and documenting progress. and improve their designs. During this process, the school and family are in communication. In the 5th week, students share their prototypes and data with their parents through an exhibition and presentation.
