- Case study n.º 9 on experiential education in kindergarden: Germinating SeedsPublication . Alves, Alice Cardoso Fontes Santos; Mesquita, Cristina; Rodrigues, Maria JoséScience activities provide opportunities for cooperation, negotiation, rules following, rights and duties understanding, group involvement learning, and education for citizenship. These are essential skills for critical thinking and to create, conscious, participatory and supportive autonomous citizens. The learning experiences developed in kindergarten constitute an excellent way to use procedures and skills such as: observing, recording, measuring, comparing, counting, describing, and interpreting. These skills are not exclusive of science; these are capabilities that enhance a holistic worldview. In this study we describe an experimental activity, in the scope of botany, associated with the conditions that allow seeds to grow. This subject is present in the everyday life of children and the discussion of these issues enables them to understand the world.
- Prática de ensino supervisionada em Educação Pré-EscolarPublication . Alves, Alice Cardoso Fontes Santos; Bonifácio, EvangelinaO trabalho aqui apresentado insere-se no âmbito do relatório de estágio da prática de ensino supervisionada, para a aquisição do grau de mestre em Educação de Infância. Este procurou compreender se os projectos concretizados no jardim-de-infância são estruturantes na aprendizagem da criança. A fundamentação teórica deste relatório é baseada na aprendizagem contextualizando-a no construtivismo e o seu entroncamento nos modelos curriculares para a educação de infância. A análise de dados dos diferentes instrumentos, permitiu-nos compreender que houve aprendizagem na criança porque foram satisfeitas duas condições: - as crianças tinham predisposição para aprender - as crianças conseguiram ligar os conteúdos mais recentes a algo que já era seu conhecido.The work presented here bears consideration in the supervised learning internship report, to acquire the Preschool Education master‟s degree. This work tried to understand if the projects fulfilled in the kindergarten are relevant for the children‟s education. The theoretical recital of this report is based on learning, contextualizing it in the constructivism and in the connection with the Preschool Education‟s curricular guidance. The data analysis of the different instruments, allow us to understand that there was ability to learn by the child in order to two conditions: - Children had tendency to learn - Children could connect the recent subjects with something already known.

- Winning the racePublication . Alves, Alice Cardoso Fontes Santos; Mesquita, Cristina; Rodrigues, Maria JoséIn Portugal some official documents (Curriculum Guidelines for Preschool Education [1]; Circular Nº. 17/DSDC/DEPEB/2007 [2]; Learning Goals for preschool education [3]) and the scientific literature [4] emphasize the importance of the experimental sciences, such as chemistry, inserted in the area of Knowledge of the World. This area is seen as “a path to science awareness, which should provide to children experiences related to several domains of human knowledge” [4, p. 14]. This introduction to science approach involves exploring subjects related to history, sociology, geography, physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy, geology and meteorology, among others. However, an integrative and broad approach is necessary, respecting the holistic nature that characterizes this level of education. Moreover, the current orientations point to a humanistic approach of science, in a Science-Technology-Society perspective. In this context, this paper presents a chemistry experimental activity related to liquid viscosity, considering that this subject is part of the children daily experiences and that this discussion can help them understand the surrounding environment pre-school education orientations. This activity allows children to experiment and compare the speed of fall of a marble in liquids with different viscosity. This approach fosters the usage of several procedures and skills, such as questioning, observing, manipulating variables, registering, measuring, comparing, counting, describing and interpreting data, among others. Although not exclusive of science, this enhances a broad and integrative view of the world, contributing to the scientific literacy of children.
