THE 4 ELEMENTS.
FIRE
AIR
EARTH
WATER
What did we know about the elements before the project?
We knew:
The fire is very warm.
It has differant coulors; red yellow, orange, blue.
The fire can hurt us, and burn down houses.
Only grownups can use matches.
Water is in the sea, lakes, and rivers.
Rain is water.
Ice and snow is very cold water.
We get wet if we go out in the rain without rain clothes.
In the sea there is fish.
The wind can blow hard.
We can play with kates if the wind blowes.
In the earth we can growe flowers, and vegetables.
If the earth is muddy we get dirty.
We can walk, jump, and ride a bicykle. We can even run.
In the earth there lives worns, wood louse and millepede too.

If the wind is strong the waves are large.

What did we learn.
Through experiment, playing outside, and walks in the nearby
area, we looked at the 4 elements from different angles.
The children beeing ,from 1 -5 year, also drew, dansed, and
painted the elements.
They had many thoughs about what they experienced.
Jonas (3): Air can smell fresh, or disgusting. Fart smell
disgusting.
Mathilde (5): Ice is water that is very cold. The old has wrinkle.
The new one is smooth. Underneathe the ice plants my grow.
We learned that the 4 elements depend on each other.
“ Plants can’t grow without water and light. The sun is the
largest fire in the world.” ( Niklas 5.)
“ Chewing gum don’t grow at all, because it’s not a plant.”
( Synne 5 )
“ The wind move the sky and the rain. The rain put out the fire”
( Casper 4.)
“ The fire keep us warm.” ( Miriam 5.)
“ If we are thirsty we drink water. If we are hungry we eat fruit.
