APPLYING FUN EXPERIMENTS IN THE EXPERIENTIAL ACTIVITIES TOPIC: ‘VOLCANO ERUPTION’ FOR PRESCHOOL CHILDREN, ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS

Abstract

     Experiential learning stands as a compulsorily educational activity in the new primary education curriculum. However, across all academic disciplines, experiential activities are systematically integrated to facilitate students' exploration, synthesis, and application of knowledge. Among the various forms of organizing experiential activities, fun experiments greatly stimulate students’ interest in learning, making the learning process enjoyable and light, thereby enhancig their love for learning and creating exhilaration for them in each lesson and subject. In particular, teachers can design the same type of experiment, but for each grade level, they are different experiments suitable for the cognitive level and psychological characteristics of students, in that way helping students discover more fascinating aspects of science. This article discusses the same fun experiment but can be organized for different grade levels from preschool, elementary to middle school, according to the cognitive and psychological development of students.
