Activity goals:
1. In the literary scene of small animals picking up the moon, discuss and discover the method of stacking heights.
2. Try to explore how to "stack" with your companions, and initially experience the joy of cooperation in exploration activities.
Activity preparation:
1. Story screen.
2. Building blocks, small sticks of various materials, paper partitions, and hanging "moons".
Activity process:
1. The cover introduces people and arouses curiosity
1. Introduce the title of the story "The Taste of the Moon".
2. Talk about what the animals guess the moon smells like.
2. Observe the picture and discover the method of stacking height
1. One day, a little turtle decided to touch the moon and taste the moon. It found a high mountain and climbed up step by step. When it reached the top of the mountain, the moon was much closer. However, the little turtle was still out of reach. So the turtle called many animal friends. How did they taste the moon? (Discover the height of the stack.)
2. Discussion:
(1) Why does the little turtle lie at the bottom? What is its trick? (The four legs are retracted into the body, like a big stone, allowing the elephant to stand firm)
(2) How does the elephant stand firm on the back of the turtle? (Four legs together)
(3) How does a giraffe lower its head? What is its best method? (You can let the zebra stand with its two legs on its neck)
(4) Why do the lion and zebra stand in different directions? (Make the weight of both sides about the same)
(5) What tricks do the little monkeys and mice have? (Stand up)
3. "Click!" The mouse broke off a piece of the moon and took a bite. It was as cold as a snow moon cake. It shared this piece of moon with friends to taste together, and everyone felt that it was worth the effort!
3. Group cooperation, exploration methods
1. First exploration, operation requirements:
(1) Set the height of the simulated moon.
(2) In pairs, work together to use building blocks to play the game of "Stacking High to Taste the Moon".
(3) Auxiliary materials such as small cardboard sticks can be used appropriately.
(4) Stack as high as possible within the specified time, and the winner is to reach the moon.
Communicate how each group stacks up: Is there any way to use animal friends? What other new methods are used? Talk about their respective experiences (for example: handle with care, rotate the building, discuss with colleagues to determine the placement, etc.).
2. The second exploration.
(1) The moon jumped, that is, the height of the moon increased. Discussion: How can we use existing materials to reach the moon? (Continue to try good ways to inspire and learn from others)
(2) Think about it: Can you find any other tips?
(3) Think about the causes and solutions when problems occur during the operation.
IV. Exchange of experiences
1. The stack of Arhats can be stacked so high. What is the secret of success?
2. Was it successful all at once? Have you ever failed? Do you give up or continue?
3. How did you cooperate during the process? Has it been discussed? I am happy to reach the moon and realize that when everyone builds together, they must discuss and cooperate with each other to succeed.
