Hello everyone, I'm Punit and today I
will present on the topic thinking with
young children science, math and
technology and the language I have
picked is science.
The place I visited was skeleton water
holes creek. It runs between Trina and
Darnet 5 kilometers roughly which
includes Tarnet Creek wetlands. It is
named um such because the water holes
once looked like skeleton spine. Uh the
creek has been cared by um roughly about
30 years now with the help from Windham
City Council, Nature West and Melbourne Water.
Water.
It is home to many birds, long neck
turtles, rakali which are also known as
water rats. Um growling grass frogs.
These thick grass reed grass provide
shelter to uh for the wildlife.
What grabbed my attention was water
flowing, reflection, plants bearing uh
flowers, leaves of different colors and
sizes, rocks, cool breezes, mud, birds.
Each of them has agency and shape
experiences which can support children's learning.
learning.
The science in place was from water
flowing uh reflections, markings, birds,
uh trees, leaves, flowers, color
changing buds, the science through uh an
indigenous lens. Children are natural
scientists as per Halddem.
Children are naturally curious and begin
to explore the world around them from
infancy developing their own working
theories about how the world works
through the people uh through the
people, places and things that they
interact with. As per debris, it is very
important to promote STEM at the early
years because um these STEM thinkers are
world's next generation inventors and
critical thinker and innovators.
Aboriginal uh Australians were the first
inventors and scientists in Australia as
per Debri. She also mentioned that
Aboriginal knowledge developed over
thousands of years the through a close
connection with the wetlands.
They understood seasonal changes. They
understood animal behavior, plant
properties and how ecosystems worked uh
together. Living on and with um uh with
the land allowed them to observe
patterns, adapt changes and past
knowledge through generation practices
with practical sustainable guiding,
hunting, gathering, navigation and
shelter building.
Um they also uh with an example such as
they build their canois and rafts using
natural material. But before they would
uh use a material the natural material
to build the canoise or the rafts they
would put that water the material in the
water. If it would sink they would not
use it but if it would float they would
then use it. So that is from very early
years how they were using uh signs like
sink and float to uh for their daily um
living entanglements with plays.
Children learning children's learning is
shaped by the environment we provide.
Nature offers rich hands-on classrooms
for exploring science. Teachers guide.
Teachers guide curiosity and discover in
a meaningful ways as per bellow. Um
teachers are very plays a very important
part now because they they can help
children understand the life cycle or
life cycle of plant animals. They can
teach them about sink and float. Um then
how we breathe oxygen from these trees.
These nature uh the nature helps
children explore the land, water and air interactively.
interactively.
To conclude, I would say the water hole
creek was a very rich place to
understand the link between nature and
nature to science. Walk to the place
encourage curiosity and build scientific
thinking in me as a teacher. I'm sure
these experiences will connect them to
STEM in meaningful ways. Aboriginal
knowledge further deepens this
connection showing how science has
always been part of living closely with
the environment. Thank you. This is the
