Science Day is celebrated annually in Russia. In kindergarten, this event does not go unnoticed; science week is held annually in the preparatory group. During the week, various experiments, reports and problem situations are planned that introduce children to scientific discoveries. As part of the “Week of Scientific Discoveries”, the children of the preparatory group and I held such events.
Monday - Robotics
During which children learned that robots are used in various fields: medicine, space, manufacturing, and for entertainment purposes. Children eagerly shared their impressions of where they saw robots.
Making a robot from boxes. The preschoolers called him Robik, and every day he brought interesting tasks for the children.
The teacher’s story about the scientific achievements of mankind, solving problem situations, such as “What would have happened if airplanes (computers, cartoons, etc.) had not been invented.”
Adding diagrams and drawings to the group for review.
Independent games with a microscope, magnifying glasses, glasses, sketches of observations in the book “What I Saw.”
Tuesday – water laboratory
Opening of a water laboratory. Robik brought the children water, paints, salt, stones, lemon, various containers, measuring spoons and much more, with which they can prove the children’s assumptions about the different properties of water.
Making colored ice floes for ice sculpture. We scraped along the bottom of the barrel and collected various ice molds, liners, construction set parts and a bunch of other things where you can pour water. We also needed buckets of different sizes and food coloring. In the course of our activities, we consolidated methods for obtaining colors by mixing and found out the features of measuring the volume of liquid.
Viewing the presentation “Water in Nature”, the purpose of which was to find out children’s knowledge about water and its states of aggregation. We remembered that there is water in vegetables and fruits, because we watched how the water evaporated from them for a week, and then we placed it in liquid and the vegetables took their original form. We talked about the water cycle in nature and remembered the properties of steam.
Medium - natural electricity
Introducing children to natural electricity. Experiments with electricity always attract the attention of children. So this time we attached air balloons to the wall, rubbing it with a cloth, they looked for electricity in woolen things.
Watching programs about scientific discoveries.
Construction of robots from different materials according to the proposed schemes. Preschoolers showed their imagination and made robots from paper, matches, and construction sets. Then they began to make cars, robotic rockets, etc.
Thursday – magnetic laboratory
Opening of a magnetic laboratory. We talked about minerals, remembered the properties of magnets, looked for objects in the sand with their help, and made theater characters move.
Solving puzzles on the topic of the week. I tried to select educational tasks for the children on the topic of the week: logic tables, puzzles, labyrinths, proof tests and noisy images.
Homemade preparations “TPP work”. Preschoolers, together with their parents, prepared short messages and presentations about the operation of power plants.
Experimenting with various materials. We put forward various hypotheses, and then proved or disproved them, like real scientists. We inflated a balloon on a bottle and tried to freeze it sunflower oil, drown an egg and much more.
Friday – exhibition design, summing up
Themed walk “Birthday Snow Queen" During our walk, we helped the queen make treats: ice cakes and a huge cake.
Opening of the exhibition “Robotics” of joint works with parents.
Production of experimental diagrams, scientific booklets on the properties of water, soil, air, brochures “What is water for?” Children from the preparatory group showed this manual to the kids and told them about water.
Making a walkie-talkie - a phone for story games.
During the week we read educational tales by T.A. Shorygina, watched the vegetable garden on the window and ate onions of their own production.

Children are taught how to be on the street, what a traffic light is, learn the basics of traffic rules, etc.
Information for parents
- Many parents think about the question at what age is it optimal to send their child to school - from 6 or 7 years old?
As for child psychologists, most agree that the child should be prepared for school, both physically and mentally.
If you think that he is not ready enough, do not rush to give up your child at 6 years old. It is better to extend the period of study in kindergarten in the preparatory group and send them to school at the age of 7. This will allow you to avoid psycho-emotional stress when starting your studies prematurely.
* In the photo: mathematics classes in the preparatory group of a kindergarten.
Age characteristics of children from 6 to 7 years old
At this age, a child has a desire to learn something useful and interesting.
Classes that take place during this period are perceived as exciting game, in which the child strives to show his parents and educators how capable he is. He strives to distinguish himself and achieve recognition of his qualities.

(children enter the group to the music)
Let's stand in a circle. Let's smile at each other, and so that the sun smiles at us, let's draw it with our hands: Let's draw a big circle,
Lots of rays around
This sun is shining
It illuminates everything.
Now the room in the hall is brighter and more joyful from our sunshine. Now come over to the chairs, sit down comfortably, and I will tell you what we will do. Let's cancel our activity and just do small things. magical transformations!
Well, do you agree? That's great!
Guys, where do magic and wonderful transformations happen? (in a fairy tale).
Do you like fairy tales?
What do you like more, listening or watching fairy tales and plays?
Where can you see them? (in the theatre) .
Guys, are there theaters in our city?
What theaters do you know? (dramatic, puppet)
Guys, who puts on performances, fabulous performances in the drama theater? (People)
Do you know what these people in the theater are called? (actors)
Actors play different roles. They can turn into anyone on stage! They can play a stupid king or a capricious princess. Or they can turn into a small helpless puppy or a cowardly bunny.
Would you like us to try to turn into someone? Come to me, stand up wherever you want. And for a moment you and I will become actors in a drama theater, imagine that we are on stage, and here are the spectators. So, the music started playing and we were no longer kids, but kittens! The kittens got out of the warm house into the snowy yard, sniffed the cold air, and then it started snowing! Kittens don't like it! They curled up into a ball, pressing their paws, ears, and tails. But the snow stopped, the kittens straightened up, shook off their front paws, back paws, ears, tail and all their fur.
Sketch: “Kittens.”
Oh, what great fellows you are, real kittens!
And now you are no longer kittens, but snowmen that the guys made during a walk! Snowmen love frosty days, they have fun, they smile! But then the sun began to warm up, the snowmen began to melt! First the head melted, then the arms, then the body and the snowmen turned into clean, transparent puddles.
Sketch: “Snowmen”.
Well done guys, you are real actors!
Well, now you can sit down on the chairs, relax and see what I have prepared for you. (I take out 2 masks, a happy one and a sad one)
What is this, guys? (masks)
That's right, masks, but not ordinary ones Carnival masks, but theatrical.
Are they the same or different? (different)
What mood do they convey? (happy and sad)
Now, guys, you can come up, take any mask and we will stand in a circle.
Look carefully at your mask, remember what mood it conveys. And we'll try on our masks
Oh, you’re completely unrecognizable!
Now, dear masks, you can tell what mood you are in, conveying it with your voice, and maybe even with your movement.
Please, dear mask, tell me what kind of person you are? (I'm a happy mask)
If the mask is cheerful, it talks about it cheerfully, joyfully, cheerfully, and may even perform some funny movement!
What kind of mask are you? (I'm a sad mask)
The cheerful masks will say hello first, followed by the sad ones. Exciting and fun! “Hello, sad mask! ”
And now the sad masks. Quiet and sad. “Hello, funny mask! ”
May I greet you?
“Hello, dear masks! ” (making a mistake in intonation) - Did I convey the mood of the mask correctly in my voice?
Why is it wrong?
You guys are great! It was impossible to recognize you behind the masks!
Guys, we talked about the drama theater and even were actors ourselves, but we completely forgot about another theater, which one? (puppet)
Guys, who is the most important in puppet theater?
Of course, dolls!
Does anyone help the dolls or do they perform independently on stage or screen?
People help.
What do you call people who are controlled by dolls?
They are called Puppeteers! Repeat and remember this word, because today you will hear it often.
And all because I have prepared a surprise for you!
Today we ourselves will be puppeteers, because theatrical puppets are looking forward to seeing you in our puppet theater! Want to meet them? Then meet me!
These dolls perform on a screen, they are called dolls on the gap.
What is gapit? This is a stick on which the doll is put, the stick is called - GAPIT. That’s where the name comes from - dolls on gapite!
Today I will teach you how to control these dolls, because you will be puppeteers. We take the gapit in one hand, and with the other hand we hold the wires that are attached to the doll’s hands, we can raise and lower them, the doll will come to life in your hands.
The doll on the gap appears gradually, as if it is climbing up the steps. First the head appears, then the shoulders, then the doll is visible up to the waist, and when it reaches the middle of the screen, the whole doll is visible. The doll moves along the edge of the screen, and not through the air. When a doll speaks, it sways slightly, and if there are two dolls on the screen, then the doll that listens stands motionless so that the audience understands which of the dolls is speaking. And yet, the puppeteer who speaks for his doll often changes his voice to make it similar to the voice of his hero. For example, if it is a mouse, what kind of voice does it have? What if it's a bear or a wolf?
Guys, do you want to be puppeteers yourself in our puppet theater?
But first, I'll tell you one secret. In both drama and puppet theater there is such a profession - director. The director is an assistant to the actors and puppeteers. He always helps them, tells them what and how best to say and do on stage or screen.
Guys, let me be a director in our puppet theater, is it possible?
Then, guys, I suggest you show, with the help of puppets on the stage, for our viewers a puppet show - the fairy tale “Cockerel's Birthday. “Our dolls will perform on the screen, and you will help them, but don’t forget the rules for driving a doll. What are they?
But in the theater there are not only dolls, but also... (spectators).
And in order to become a spectator, to get into the theater, you need to purchase it. (ticket).
Who sells tickets (cashier).
Therefore, we need to select a cashier. What qualities should a cashier have (must be polite). Which of the guys in our group is polite (we choose.)
What words do people say when they buy a ticket (please give, thank you).
And since I am a director, I offer to be puppeteers. You can come up and choose the doll that you like. Whoever has chosen a doll, come in, sit on the chairs and get to know her. Think about what voice the doll will speak in. All the other guys, don’t be upset, you will all be puppeteers, but on another day, in a group. Now go to the cashier, buy a ticket and take a seat.
Which puppeteer ended up with our birthday boy? Please come and show everyone how smart and beautiful you are today.
This is Cockerel, it’s his birthday today and he will be greeting guests. Your dolls are his guests. And when I name the heroes of the fairy tale, the puppeteer will go behind the screen and help his doll come to life, because you. (puppeteers)
Oh, guys, I completely forgot, when they come to a birthday party, what do they say to the birthday boy? (congratulations - beautiful, gentle words). And the birthday boy invites all guests.
Now that everything is ready, the puppeteers are waiting to go on stage!
Fairy tale “Cockerel's birthday. ”
Once upon a time there was a cockerel, Petya. He was very cheerful and kind. All the animals loved him!
And then one day, when Cockerel’s birthday came, the little animals decided to congratulate him on the holiday. They prepared congratulations for the birthday boy.
First, the Cat came to the Cockerel! (the cat gradually appears on the screen)
He approached her and said: “Cockerel, happy birthday to you!” ” (the cat sways slightly, and the Cockerel stands motionless)
Petya was very glad that Kitty came and said: “Thank you, kitty, I’m very glad that you came! Please come in."
The cat walked over and sat down on a chair. And at this time the Bunny was skipping along the path. He saw Cockerel and joyfully said: “Hello, Cockerel! I wish you a happy birthday! Wish.. "
The Cockerel thanked the Bunny: “Thank you, Bunny! Come in, please! “The bunny happily agreed, walked over and sat down next to the cat.
As soon as Bunny sat down, everyone heard the song, he was humming it, who was also in a hurry to congratulate Petya.
ran up to the cockerel and joyfully said: “I congratulate you on your birthday! ”
He gave a gift and was just about to leave when Petya said: “Thank you, stay with us! ”
went and sat on the chair next to the Bunny. And then everyone saw that Mishutka was waddling. Mishutka was very timid and shy. He came up and quietly said: “Happy birthday! ” He gave the gift and quietly went home. And Petya follows him and says: “Thank you, Mishutka, stay at the holiday! “Mishutka even growled quietly with pleasure, went and sat down next to Kitty.
The cockerel was very happy to have the guests, he crowed loudly: “Crow! Thanks friends! »
That's the end of our show. Now the actors-puppeteers can bow to the audience, and the audience will applaud you for your excellent performance!
Guys, let's put the dolls in their place, I think they were very worried during the performance and they, like you, should rest.
