Die Witjassies & Little Lab Coats

Beste Witjassies Ouers

Baie welkom by Die Witjassies & Little Lab Coats. Ons glo hierdie jaar gaan vir elke deelnemer 'n jaar van fantastiese eksperimente en vele ontdekkings wees terwyl hulle die avonture van Molly en Marius muis beleef! Neem asseblief kennis daarvan dat die Projekboek opsioneel is en dus slegs aangekoop hoef te word sou u Witjassie oor vakansies of naweke addionele projekte wou doen! Kontak ons gerus by witjassies@gmail.com.

What?

"Die Witjassies & Little Lab Coats" is an educational science program that is offered as an extra curricular activity at nurseries and primary schools.

Why?

"Die Witjassies & Little Lab Coats" was initiated to provide children from as young as 3 years with the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of Natural Science through a fun but educational program. Each week's lesson has a short story and a song that provides the setting in which the young scientists are exposed to the basics of science at a level that he or she will understand. They perform experiments themselves and use authentic laboratory equipment that is safe for children. We believe that by introducing a child to the fundamentals of science at a very young age, an interest, understanding and love for the subject will be nurtured that will prove to be indispensable in school years to follow.

Waarop fokus ons?

Die lesmateriaal fokus daarop om wetenskaplike beginsels op ouderdomsvlak aan te bied - daarom word kort storietjies oor die muise (Molly en Marius) saam met prentjies en liedjies gebruik om die beginsels waaroor die eksperiment handel vas te lê. 'n Belangrike fokuspunt van die materiaal is om 'n wetenskaplike denkpatroon by die deelnemers te vestig. Elke ekperiment word dus van die titel af tot by die gevolgtrekkings op die regte manier behandel sodat dit vir die deelnemers ook in die toekoms van waarde kan wees wanneer daar aan Wetenskap Ekspo's deelgeneem moet word. Selfs die jongste deelnemer kan na 'n paar klassies vir jou 'n "hipotese" gee vir die eksperiment wat volg!

Why authentic laboratory equipment?

We think that this is part of the "ride" the young scientist is embarking on when he or she is introduced to our program! Hulle voel soos ware wetenskaplikes en dit is ongelooflik om te sien hoeveel selfvertoue die deelnemers ontwikkel - beide op 'n persoonlike vlak en in wetenskap as vak. Die apparaat wat gebruik word is vooraf beproef en 100% veilig vir kinders.
