As a new teacher, one of our jobs is teaching. Through teaching reflection, we can quickly accumulate our teaching experience. How to write teaching reflection to be more effective? The following are the reflections on Chinese teacher teaching in "The Language of Nature" that I carefully compiled (11 general articles). They are for reference only. I hope it can help everyone. "The Language of Nature" Chinese Teachers' Teaching Reflection 1
The years are silent and nature is speechless. However, the silence here is better than the sound. The swaying willow branches on the street, a touch of fresh green and a hint of goose yellow, are all the signs of nature. Our words of wisdom. The teaching content of "The Language of Nature" is arranged in the expository unit of the fourth unit of the eighth grade Chinese language volume of the People's Education Press. This unit takes science as the theme and clearly requires students to pay attention to the order and method of explanation; to learn to read silently, It has a certain speed; it is necessary to pay attention to the scientific spirit, scientific attitude and scientific thinking method; to cultivate students' scientific attitude of paying attention to observation and empirical evidence, the scientific spirit of truth-seeking and innovation, and the thoughts and feelings of loving nature and loving life. This article is a traditional text in which the author introduces a science - phenology - in an easy-to-understand manner. The whole text has a clear idea: describing phenological phenomena - making scientific explanations - investigating causal relationships - elaborating on research significance. The full text is planned to be taught in two classes, and five major sections are designed. First, the teacher reads famous poems about the four seasons, allowing students to guess the seasons and introduce new lessons based on excitement, stimulating students' inner emotions of being close to nature, and then guides students to analyze the text and grasp the content and structure of the text as a whole. Then guide students to conduct in-depth and detailed discussions and research on the text to further grasp the explanatory methods and vivid and elegant language characteristics of this article. Familiar methods and writing ideas are worth learning.
(1) Satisfaction
1. Full lesson preparation, sophisticated conception, and clear thinking, especially in the language connection of each teaching link. As long as you work hard, you will gain a lot. of.
2. The setting of the introduction is effective and creates a favorable learning situation for subsequent teaching.
3. Students have fully previewed before class, giving full play to their learning initiative. For example, the speed and accuracy of students’ answers to questions exceeded the teacher’s presets, laying the foundation for the smooth and satisfactory completion of education and teaching tasks. Base.
4. Questioning skills are also a factor in successfully completing teaching tasks.
5. During the learning process, students have quick thinking and a strong interest in learning, which pave the way for the study of the following popular science articles.
(2) Points of reflection
1. The time allocation of classroom teaching is unreasonable, because students answered questions too smoothly throughout the class, far exceeding the teacher’s original design . Therefore, a small number of feedback exercises should be set up when preparing lessons to prepare for classroom needs. This not only pays attention to ability exercises, but also strengthens the examination of basic knowledge. It also integrates knowledge and abilities, processes and methods, emotional attitudes and values. .
2. The evaluation positioning of students needs to be strengthened. Since I was taking the class in a borrowed class and didn’t know the students well, some of the questions I set didn’t achieve the results I expected. This is a teaching point that I did not handle well when preparing lessons. However, it also proves that students can follow the teachings and train teachers’ ability to adapt to changes in circumstances.
Of course, in the teaching process, we should adopt flexible and diverse teaching methods based on the teaching content and students' classroom reactions, strive to achieve "the beholder sees the benevolence, the wise see the wisdom" in the classroom, and respect the individual development of students . Cultivate students' innovative abilities, implement quality education into the classroom, and comprehensively improve teaching quality and teaching effectiveness. Education theorist Suhomlinsky once told us: "Deep in the human psychology, there is a deep-rooted need, which is to hope that oneself is an inventor, researcher, and explorer. And in the spiritual world of children In the new curriculum, this need is particularly strong. Let us give students more opportunities to participate; more space to participate; and more time to meet their needs! "In the practice of the new curriculum, teachers are not only curriculum practitioners but also curriculum reformers. , it should be to lead students to be the developers and creators of course resources. In teaching, we must strengthen the relationship between course content and students' lives as well as modern society and technological development, pay attention to students' learning hobbies and experiences, and select the basic knowledge and skills necessary for lifelong learning.
In the future, we will continue to reflect on the educational and teaching activities, carry forward the good aspects, and improve and perfect the shortcomings. "The Language of Nature" Chinese Teachers' Teaching Reflection 2
1. Introduction to Teaching Design
At the beginning of this class, I introduced a piece of music to create an atmosphere of nature, and then Use a set of pictures to let students experience the changes of spring, summer, autumn and winter, telling them that the language of nature is actually everywhere, followed by a pre-study check, mainly phonetic notation and polyphonic characters, and then an introduction to the author.
Then we move into problem exploration. The focus of this class is actually to let students learn to sort out important information, so the questions are all about filtering information and sorting out the important content in the text. Here I use the method of group competition. In the form, the problem is divided and the group members can discuss and communicate with each other. Then other group members can choose any student in the group who mainly analyzes the problem to answer the question. There will be a competition between the groups to see which group answers better. It should be said that Those questions are relatively simple and students can quickly find them out from the textbook. Later, we moved on to extension. I told the students that there were many agricultural proverbs in ancient my country and asked them to find the agricultural proverbs that contained phenological knowledge.
2. Reflection
1. Thoroughly understand the teaching materials
The problem did not really arise until the class was extended, because many students looked for agricultural proverbs that did not actually include Phenology knowledge, but because I did not delve into the knowledge about phenology, I only half understood this knowledge, so I was not able to discover problems and correct them in time, resulting in students still not knowing after finishing this class. What exactly is a phenological phenomenon? So this should be a major mistake in my class. The teaching researcher is very right. My class is a simple introduction, but the problems that need to be explained still need to be solved with the students. The title of this text is called The Language of Nature, but teachers cannot be general, because after understanding the content of the text, you should know that this text is mainly about phenology, and the phenology phenomenon is very clearly stated in the text. It refers to natural phenomena in animals and plants. I think my study of the teaching materials is really lacking. Suhomlinsky once cited the case of a history teacher with 30 years of teaching experience: He gave a very exciting public class. After class, someone asked him how much time he spent preparing for this class. The teacher replied: "I have been preparing for this lesson all my life. However, the direct preparation for this topic only took about 15 minutes." This spirit of continuous learning is what our teachers should really imitate. A teacher said: "A good teacher should first become a learner, get out of the loneliness of the profession, and learn from the various forms of the world, and then teach." Teachers themselves must understand the teaching materials thoroughly, and be able to freely control the teaching materials and connect them with reality. , Only by explaining the profound things in a simple way can we truly impart knowledge to students. In fact, I think this class reflects a lot of problems, because more often than not, I still follow the script and lack a process of in-depth thinking, so there will always be loopholes. Others can always find many problems and solve them, thus really improving themselves.
2. Handling of detailed issues
The second important impression this class gave me was the detail issue, because I was using the courseware at the time, and one link was through A set of pictures to show the change of seasons, using representative flowers of the four seasons, such as peach blossoms in spring, lotus in summer, osmanthus in autumn, and plum blossoms in winter. I want to use these pictures to tell students that these flowers are all They are the language of nature, because they can tell us the changes of seasons. However, the picture of plum blossoms I used was originally intended to represent winter, but I chose spring plums instead of winter plums. I have never discovered this small detail, but the teaching and research staff soon discovered it, which shows that my courseware is not rigorous enough. Although I have shown it many times before, I have not discovered it. Another point is that during the pre-study exam, there was a word "bad". I thought it was a polyphonic word, but in fact this word is not, but has the difference between ancient and modern pronunciation. People say that success or failure depends on the details, so in this section The quality of the class can really be judged by whether "three minutes on stage, three years of hard work off stage"!
3. Effective interaction, positive evaluation, and creating a democratic atmosphere
In this class, I have been in a state of "dialogue" with the students. Only in the effective interaction between teachers and students , a truly democratic classroom can be established, and only in a democratic atmosphere can students speak freely and freely. Of course, the teacher's encouragement is also very important. Something happened in class that surprised me. The student's attitude towards learning was not very correct, and he never raised his hand to speak in class. But what surprised me and the whole class was He actually raised his hand, so I immediately praised him. I didn't expect that his answer was really good. It can be seen that in the construction of knowledge, the learning environment should be encouraged. In this environment, students have more opportunities to show to others, which not only develops their own understanding ability, but also makes him understand the subject. Gradually I became interested. "The Language of Nature" Chinese Teachers' Teaching Reflection 3
"The Language of Nature" is an explanatory essay that mainly introduces phenology knowledge that students are not familiar with and are not very interested in. During the teaching process, I followed the teaching model of "learn first, then guide, independent cooperation, and problem evaluation", and through the teaching operation process of "picking, analyzing, and tasting", I solved the problem of text word learning and main information from different angles. Screening, sorting out the sequence of explanations, and savoring vivid language. After class, I reflected on this lesson:
1. Give the reading time back to the students.
In class, I generously gave students 15 minutes of free reading time in class, and conducted spiritual dialogue and communication with students according to my preset teaching procedures. Although this article After using it for 60 minutes, I still had problems of one kind or another.
But I feel gratified that the students and I are having conversations easily. Students' knowledge generation comes from understanding the text and reading the text well. Reading is fundamental. Without reading, there would be no perception and understanding, no sense of language, no emotion, no accumulation and use of language.
2. Move students with passion.
Whether it is poetry, novels, essays, or highly informative expository texts, they are the soul of the author’s emotional creation. For a text to move students, the teacher must first be moved, and the teacher must first thoroughly understand the teaching material. , to achieve the state of integrating and splitting the texts, looking for the beauty and focus of the texts to communicate and dialogue with students. In the classroom, use your own passion to infect, educate and inspire students' emotions, so that they can imagine in high emotions. and insights, comprehend the unique personality and beautiful sentiments of the characters and the author's profound thoughts in the strong shock of thinking and emotion.
In today’s comprehensive promotion of curriculum reform, we must clearly realize that Chinese language must be on the road of Chinese language, so that students can feel the charm of Chinese language on the basis of reading aloud and appreciating words and sentences. "The Language of Nature" Chinese Teachers' Teaching Reflections 4
We should boldly try in teaching. Applying good teaching media can indeed have an intuitive effect, and it is also a necessary auxiliary means to improve teaching effects. In future teaching, we should study more students, teaching materials, and course standards to improve the quality of classroom teaching again and make continuous progress.
Example 4 The teaching method is standardized. The teacher plans everything for the students. On the surface, the teacher cares about everything, but in fact, the independence of the students is ignored. The teacher becomes the mouthpiece of the teaching staff, and the Chinese class Lack of flexibility and vividness, and failed to update concepts in this class. In future teaching, we should follow the principle of "Chinese teaching should be carried out in the process of equal dialogue between teachers and students" advocated by the new Chinese curriculum, and choose the vivid teaching method of "equal dialogue" to teach, squatting down and talking to the students **Together, we look for and explore what novel knowledge the unique language of nature tells people, and use this as a starting point to allow students to comprehend in the text, understand through expansion and extension, and gain the benefits of observing nature in real life. This will increase students' interest in observing nature and gradually develop the habit of observation. "The Language of Nature" Chinese Teachers' Teaching Reflections Part 5
1. The ability to control the classroom urgently needs to be strengthened.
2. The time allocation is not good enough, and I am not calm and calm.
A small number of feedback exercises should be designed to prepare for classroom needs. At the same time, this not only attaches importance to ability training, but also strengthens the examination of basic knowledge. Doesn’t this just integrate knowledge and abilities, processes and methods, emotions, attitudes and values? In fact, the teaching purpose and teaching content have corresponding flexibility according to the students' understanding and needs. Our classrooms should strive to achieve "the beholder sees the benevolence, the wise see the wisdom" and respect the individual experience of students. Gradually cultivate students' ability to appreciate other people's opinions on texts and express their own opinions freely and openly, and implement the humanistic care of Chinese teaching in a down-to-earth manner. The above is my entire analysis of the case of "The Language of Nature". Anyway, this is just a lesson, I can't judge success or failure based on this. I just want to write it out and use it as a target in the curriculum improvement process to guide me forward: inherit the good aspects and improve the shortcomings.
Example 6: I took an open class and gained a lot. Different class types should have different teaching methods and teaching methods. This is an explanatory essay, and it is an explanatory essay. For expository essays, compare It's boring, and the truth is relatively abstract. How to make students like this kind of article, understand the scientific principles in it, and love this science really requires teachers to use their brains to prepare lessons. After collective lesson preparation, we talked about our own teaching methods. During the lesson I know that the focus of the article is vivid, accurate and organized language, and strict logical sequence. In addition, there are examples, numbers, comparisons and other explanation methods. After determining the teaching goals, I choose the teaching method and use intensive teaching. Then the teaching is completed using the method of group cooperation and inquiry. The explanatory text should have intuitive teaching courseware on the application of teaching media. After careful preparation, we found the courseware suitable for the students. On the basis of full preparation, we studied the students, studied the outline, and new Course standards, combined with your own actual teaching style, to prepare for class.
However, how to harmonize the content of the article and the teaching form and how to apply it freely is still a problem. Because the number of times you usually use the courseware is almost zero, there will definitely be problems when you apply it for the first time. Therefore, practice it repeatedly at home and at school. I took this class later. It feels like it works well. "The Language of Nature" Chinese Teachers' Teaching Reflection Chapter 6
Nature is full of magic. Children living in rural areas naturally have more insights than children in cities. Such a growing environment makes this lesson more interesting. Learning is much easier. In the process of introducing the new class, I used a picture guessing design so that the children could quickly tell the answers. The classroom atmosphere was much better than that of other new classes, and the students integrated into the class in the shortest time.
This text may seem very long, but the content is organized. Students only need to understand the following questions:
1. What is phenology? What is phenology?
2. What are the factors that determine the onset of phenological phenomena?
3. What is the significance of studying phenology? The correct answers can be found through group cooperative learning and discussion. Under the premise of sufficient preview, it is better to complete the key points in class.
Due to the stylistic form of the expository text in this article, in the analysis of the explanatory method, the children can also find some applications of the explanatory method in the text, but they are not fully aware of the benefits of the explanatory method, and they have something to say in their hearts. It is difficult to express. To solve this problem, I suggest students to answer step by step: First, express their position. What explanation method was used? Secondly, emphasize key words, such as: accurate numbers, vivid metaphors, prominent comparisons, specific examples, etc. Finally, practice analyzing specific sentences and elaborating on the content. With such steps, the content of students' answers becomes much clearer.
The weak Chinese foundation of Class 85 and Class 86 cannot be improved overnight. When you feel stressed, you should always remind yourself to move forward and persevere! "The Language of Nature" Chinese Teacher Teaching Reflection Chapter 7
After a month of careful preparation, repeated practice of three trial lectures, and imagining and communicating with students in the classroom over and over again after get off work, this time the Chinese visual The guided activities made me deeply feel how difficult it is to grind out a lesson. After this month of hard work, in the classroom on the day of the supervision, I was able to deal with emergencies of the students with ease, the timely feedback after each child’s answer, and the after-school teaching researcher’s evaluation, all made me realize what I had learned in the past My efforts were not in vain. After this inspection work, I also gained a new understanding of the Chinese language classroom.
As a Chinese and Mathematics teacher, it is easy to find that the styles of Chinese and mathematics classes are very similar. Looking back on my own classroom, in comparison, in mathematics class, I still pay more attention to letting students explore by themselves, and I am willing to cultivate students' independent thinking ability. Maybe because of my background in liberal arts, my Chinese classes are more traditional Chinese classes for senior students. The teachers give more lectures and don’t develop students’ speaking and speaking skills much. In Chinese classes, I pay more attention to students’ language sense. And the content of language expression, I am willing to help students speak beautiful sentences in language, but there is not much ability training in other aspects.
The content I taught this time was the first lesson of "The Language of Nature". This was a challenge for me because literacy and writing have always been a weakness in my lectures. After listening to the first lesson of the team leader, Mr. Zhao, I roughly found the direction of my class, and made vocabulary cards, phrase cards and other teaching aids, striving to add interest to the class and help students change from boring Find fun in learning words and new words. In the after-class evaluation, the teaching and research staff also encouraged this form, but also raised some issues worthy of improvement.
In this lesson, I presented 12 words at a time, namely "nature", "language", "think", "tell", "carelessness", "comma" ", "on fish scales", "fishing", "can't understand", "circle", "ocean", "inlaid", and there are 7 phrases, they are "don't think", "everywhere", " "Never see", "Never understand", "Look carefully", "Trilobite fossils", "Top of the Himalayas". Some of these words and phrases are difficult to understand and require teachers to introduce information and help with understanding, such as "inlay", "trilobite fossils", and "top of the Himalayas", while some other words require careful pronunciation. Such as "tell", "on fish scales", "circle". The last word of these three words is Qing Sheng. In teaching, you can put these three words together and let students read them to discover the characteristics of these words and find out by yourself that the last word is Qing Sheng. This method of categorization and comparing words together can not only reduce the teacher's language and repetitive reading in class, but also give students space to learn independently and cultivate their learning abilities. In addition to these words that need to be understood and correct pronunciation, there are many words that need to be found out for students to read more, but not all of them need to be described and the teacher will read them repeatedly. This wastes time and does not give students the opportunity to learn and read on their own. experience.
The visual guidance is over, but the daily teaching work continues. In the Chinese language teaching on the second day, I took advantage of the fact that the new characters in the lesson "Song of Fang Zi" are basically the phonetic and phonetic characters of square, and let the students learn the characters, memorize the shape of the characters, and read the words by themselves. The students were very interested in learning. , there are also many students who can distinguish these new words very well and use their own methods to memorize the pronunciation and shape of the characters. After this class, I realized that the children are already capable of learning relatively easy new words by themselves. They have mastered learning methods in their daily study, and these abilities and methods are being suppressed by me in the classroom. . Thinking about this, I feel really ashamed.
Thinking of this, I wrote the title of this reflection. Appropriate letting go in the Chinese class is conducive to the cultivation of students' abilities. Letting go more often allows students to explore and nourish education in the school. In Runze Classroom, respecting students not only means respecting students in terms of language, but also giving students space for development, allowing students to cultivate abilities and develop intelligence in the classroom, and truly gain knowledge in Runze Classroom, and we will truly become a Runze Creator of the classroom. "The Language of Nature" Chinese Teachers' Teaching Reflection Chapter 8
"The Language of Nature" is a teaching reading article in the expository unit. How to improve students' ability to read expository texts through this lesson will become our teacher's teaching focus.
In fact, for any article, we must first understand the text content, and "The Language of Nature" is no exception.
1) Students read freely. This link can be read by the students themselves, or they can be completed together at the same table. In today's class, there was an interesting part. Two students at the same table chose to read a passage in the form of a "rock, paper, scissors" game, which attracted nearby students and turned the originally boring text into a joyful reading.
2) Everyone reads together. In order to mobilize the enthusiasm of the students, I asked the classmates to choose the passages to read aloud according to their own wishes. At the same time, the teacher assigns tasks to complete the accumulation of elegant words and sentences, and complete the screening of each piece of information.
3) The whole class communicates with each other. Through the above two readings, students' understanding of the text has been deepened.
Complete
1) Accumulation of elegant words and sentences. For example: the ice and snow melt, the grass sprouts, returns gracefully, the northern geese fly south, the field grass borders, disappear, the grass is dying, the wind and snow carry the road, it is like this year after year, over and over again, the grass and trees are prosperous and withered, migratory birds come and go, the flowers are fragrant, the birds are singing, the grass is growing and the warblers are flying. .
2) Talk about your understanding of the article. Let each student talk about what is written in the article based on his or her reading level. Design tip: I passed (which paragraphs) and knew that I had written it
First, I demonstrated to the students: I passed the first paragraph of the article and knew that I had written about the natural changes throughout the year in chronological order. Then students talk about other passages based on their own reading.
While the students were chattering away, the teacher wrote on the blackboard. All paragraphs end with a summary. "The Language of Nature" Chinese Teachers' Teaching Reflections Part 9
Students are the main body of classroom learning. No matter how good the classroom design is without students, it can only be a castle in the air. Therefore, teachers must study students deeply during lesson preparation. Only by studying students in advance and communicating in a targeted manner during preview can teachers effectively guide them in class.
When I was in the preview class, I found that the students were not very cooperative. I tried to communicate several times but hit a wall. At this time, I did not actively think of ways to communicate and guide, but I was eager for success. I just wanted to complete my preview tasks quickly, and I lost the best opportunity to communicate with students. As a result, students failed to express themselves well in class and their performance in class was unsatisfactory. This is what I regret most about this class.
In the future, I need to learn more about how to communicate with students, study various students in depth, pay attention to them in lesson preparation, guide them in teaching, and encourage students at all levels to participate in Chinese learning Come in. "The Language of Nature" Chinese Teacher Teaching Reflection 10
The text teaching in the new version of Xiaoyu experimental textbook is to increase students' literacy, enrich students' knowledge, enable students to accumulate more languages, and cultivate students' new spirit and An effective way to practice abilities. When teaching, the focus should be on reading more, memorizing more, and accumulating more. There is no requirement to analyze the text. The teacher can adapt to the process of students reading the text. It is enough to guide students locally to roughly understand the meaning of the text.
The lesson "The Language of Nature" is a text in unit 9 of the second volume of the multi-literacy textbook. I designed the teaching process of this course according to the idea of ??"directional introduction-teaching new lessons one by one and consolidating exercises". Teaching new lessons is divided into four steps: familiarizing with the text, feeling the text, reciting the text, and memorizing new words. This lesson mainly highlights the following features:
1. Guide preview and seek independence
The implementation of the new curriculum emphasizes students’ independent learning and independent development. The cultivation of this ability is also important for society. development needs. Therefore, starting from the first grade, students must be consciously guided to gradually master the general learning method - pre-class preview. In this class, when reading the text aloud, reciting the text and memorizing new words, I let the students choose their own methods, discover patterns, encourage students to cooperate with each other, supplement each other, correct, and establish a three-dimensional classroom structure between teachers and students, and between students and students. , Maximize the initiative of students to achieve the purpose of teaching for the sake of not teaching.
2. Read well and become recited, and seek to accumulate knowledge
Reading is the ladder of national progress, and accumulation is the source of literary creation. Therefore, you should pay attention to reading more in class. The familiarity of the text is what I ask students to do on the basis of preview. In class, I asked students to read aloud multiple times in their favorite way (find a good friend to read, read at the same table, boys read together, girls read together, read in sections) to improve students' reading skills.
At the same time, I also participated in the students, reading together, reciting together, and performing together with the students, which made the classroom atmosphere active. The teacher taught relaxedly, and the students learned knowledge in a relaxed and happy atmosphere. It satisfies their desire for performance and enables them to fully enjoy the joy of success.
3. Extend the textbook and seek expansion
The overall goal of the course objectives is to enable students to initially possess the ability to collect and process information. "The Language of Nature" Chinese Teachers' Teaching Reflection Chapter 11
"The Language of Nature" is an informative poem with simple words and beautiful writing. It introduces us to some of the most common phenomena. The mysteries of natural language.
1. Understand the text content through reading aloud
In reading teaching, proper and full use of reading methods can help students understand the text content, develop language, develop thinking and cultivate sentiment. Reading aloud turns silent written language into vivid oral language, makes some still pictures jump in students' minds, and makes boring language lively and interesting.
Therefore, in reading teaching, teachers should pay attention to the training of students in reading aloud.
For example: When teaching this class, I first give students enough time to read aloud, so that students can initially understand the content of the text through self-reading, mutual reading at the same table, and named reading. Secondly, I guide the students while reading. Imagine while reading. For example, when reading "How like a swimming comma", imagine that spring is here, and the tadpoles with big heads and long tails swim freely and happily in the water. How cute and interesting! As the students read, they imagined the happiness the sentences would bring them. Finally, let the students connect with reality and gain insights while reading. For example: "Those who don't like to learn will never understand, and those who are careless will never see." Let students think about the meaning of the sentence based on their daily life, so that students know that only by careful observation can they discover something and realize something. The importance of learning scientific knowledge.
2. Enter life and explore the mysteries of nature
Nature is an encyclopedia and a polymath. There are many languages ??in nature, which can tell us the weather and seasons. , age... Let us enter life today and explore the mysteries of nature.
Before class, I asked the students to collect relevant materials. However, during the communication, I did not ask the students to read it out according to the text, but asked the students to talk about it in the form of poetry. The information collected and exchanged by the students was colorful.
Look at the wild geese flying south, this is also the language of nature, autumn has come to the world.
Look at the sky full of sunset. This is also the language of nature, indicating that tomorrow will be good weather.
Look at the ants moving. This is also the language of nature, indicating that it is about to rain.
This link not only enriches the content of "Language of Nature", but also increases students' knowledge and further stimulates students' interest in understanding "Language of Nature".
3. Use courseware to stimulate interest in learning
In this class, I used multimedia to naturally bring students into the learning situation. Especially when students saw pictures of trilobite fossils, it aroused their strong interest and helped them understand the text content.
These silent languages ??inspire students’ desire to learn, and at the same time stimulate their interest in exploring nature.
