When exploring scientific concepts through movement, you can differentiate on three levels:
Beginner: Children perform simple, guided movements and discover mainly through imitation and feeling. They receive visual support and clear instructions. Think of jumping, falling or balancing with help.
Advanced: Children combine movements and think about cause and effect. They work in groups on short movement sequences and reflect on their choices. They are already able to experiment and vary within an assignment.
Expert: Children design creative movement solutions, plan independently and reflect deeply on their process. They can physically represent abstract concepts such as stability or state of aggregation and evaluate their approach.
At each level, problem-solving thinking is stimulated by open assignments, targeted questions and room for experimentation. This allows you to connect with each child’s development and make science tangible and active.
