erasmus+ science italy presentation

Alba Iulia 2017

There are twokindergarten schools,two primary schoolsand only one secondaryschool with a combinedtotal of 37 classesinvolved in theERASMUS project ledby ours teachers.

In the town of Alba Adriatica there is only one comprehensive school .

• On goingmonitoring

• Self-assesmentquestionnaire

• Assessmenttemplate

• Didactic-actionresearch: comparisonbetween the traditional and innovative method(based on the Dalcrozianpedagogicalprinciples)

•Diversified practiceswith the use of different languages

• Topic acquisition and interpretazion logicalconnections, links use of specific language

THE PROCESS

ActionsSTAGES:-PRESENTATION/WARM UP

Stimulation of pupil intuitions, through free and little-structured activities. -EXPLORATION

Leave time to explore the topic proposed, dealing with it in different ways in order to have the pupil experiment from different prospectives-SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENTATION-STRUCTURING

Giving the lesson a more structured form, playing through some elements such as: repetition, modules.-CHECK AND ASSESSMENT AT THE END OF THE ACTIVITY-COGNITIVE SELF-ASSESSMENT

MUSICAL COURSE

INTRODUCTIONThe teacher takes the pupils to the gym and asksthem to move freely in space pretending to be manysmall water dropsEXPLORATION OF THE BODY in free space withspontaneous sound effects, with movements suitedto the dropsSOUND ADDED TO MOVEMENT

STAGE 1:PRESENTATION/WARM-UP

The Story of Little Seed and

Little Drop

PRESENTATION OF THE OBJECT FACILITATING MOVEMENT: the headscarf Imagining the sound contexts linked to words and the movement with the object

STAGE 1:PRESENTATION/WARM-UP

The Story of Little Seed and Little

Drop

Circle-time arrangement,ANIMATED STORYTELLING“The story of Little Seed andLittle Drop”

1st step: The teacher addssound with the Orff musicalinstruments while pupils tellthe story through theirbodies.

STAGE 2: EXPLORATION

Circle-time arrangement,ANIMATED STORYTELLING“The story of Little Seed andLittle Drop”

2nd step: the teacher repeats onlythe sounds of the story whilepupils tell the story with theirbodies

STAGE 2: EXPLORATION

STAGE 3: SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENTATIONSOWING

Memorization of the doggerel with the mainsteps of the course in order to interiorize theprocess

STAGE 4: STRUCTURING

STAGE 5: SELF-ASSESSMENT

PROCESS REWORKING

STAGE 1: PRESENTATION Mirtilla e i fiori

Evocative Introduction

• Presentation of pictures related to atmospherical phenomena in circle-time

Pictures exchanging and sharing.

Evocation of the emotions aroused: personal description within the group

Water and its States

STAGE 1: WARM UPWater and its

States

a) Body exploration

• Individual free experimentation in space of the movement suited to the drops: AERIFORM STATE

Groups experimentation of the movements: LIQUID STATE

Movement experimentation in the bigger group: SOLID STATE

STAGE 1: WARM UP

B) Sound explorationSound added to the movements with the musical

instruments

STAGE 2: EXPLORATIONWater and its

states

a) Making up of three different groups corresponding to the different states of water

- Handing out of the scientific text and explanation of the task:Searching for the key information and representation of the threestates-Sharing of the group works

STAGE 2: EXPLORATION Water and its state

b) In the bigger group, experimenting the three changes of state through the body

STAGE 3: SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENTATIONWater and its

state

THE CHANGES OF STATE

The Water Cycle

STAGE 4: STRUCTURING The Water and its state

Memorization of a rap song with themain steps of the course in order tointeriorize the process

STAGE 5: CHECK AND ASSESSMENT

AT THE END OF THE ACTIVITY

STAGE 6: SELF-ASSESSMENT

• Handing

of images

PROCESS REWORKING

The Water Cycle

Water and its state

STAGE 1: PRESENTATION/WARM UP

The Water Cycle

a) Listening of the different sounds

linked to natural phenomena.

Sharing of the emotions felt

Circle-time arrangement,Evocative and motivating introductionaccording to the topic

STAGE 1: PRESENTATION/WARM

UP

The Water Cycle

b) Searching for the movements to be

matched to the sounds

STAGE 2: EXPLORATIONWater and its states

a)-Making up of different groups

- Handing out of the scientific text- Reconstruction of the process of the different natural phenomena through

music added with the Orff instruments

STAGE 2: EXPLORATION The Water Cycle

b) Sharing of the group works

STAGE 3: SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENTATION

The Water Cycle

The water cycle through the reconstruction of the microclimate

STAGE 4: STRUCTURINGThe Water Cycle

(Homework:)Group creation of a rap song with the mainsteps of the course in order to interiorize theprocess-Sharing of the group works

STAGE 1: PRESENTATION/WARM UP

the heart and the circulatory system

Cycle

Circle-time arrangement, BODY EXPANSION:mobilization, explorating

different possibilities of

expansion with the different

body parts

STAGE 1: PRESENTATION/WARM UP

the heart and the circulatory system

Water Cycle

PRESENTATION OF THE OBJECT FACILITATING MOVEMENT: the sponge .

Free position in space.

The object expands and squashes.

Some aspects can be varied: accents, rhythms,

dinamics, speed.

a) The teacher moves the object and the pupils

mirror the movements through their bodies, showing

speed, accents and intensity; then the teachers invite

the pupils to add vocal sound to the movement

STAGE 1: PRESENTATION/WARM

UP

the heart and the circulatory system

ter Cycle

Presentation of the object facilitating movement: the spongeFree position in space.

The object expands and squashes.

Some aspects can be varied: accents,

rhythms, dinamics, speed.

b) Pupils in turns try to move the object, and

the others reply with their body

The pupil moving the object tries to add sound, while the group moves accordingly.

STAGE 2: EXPLORATION

a) DIFFERENT RHYTHMICAL PLAYS with the object facilitating movements(increase, decrease, invertion) in order to explore pulse.

Circle-time arrangement

THE HEARTAND THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM

STAGE 2: EXPLORATION

b)WORK ON GAIT in accordance with the pulse (Free position in space).
