Do Tiffany Bracelets Rust

the discovery of chocolate

I found in the popular magazine Mondozero3 an interesting article Alfina Gullotto Orsenigo the nest and I wanted to Milan propose it: on the use of chocolate as an alternative material to test the design.

Objective: manipulate and experiment with the "material" is offered, to find out what it is and what can be done. In the course of the Children are free to act, try, try, try, etc..





The methods of path
:
  • Context: key is to provide a limited space, limited material and prepare for the task.


  • Rito Opening hours: after you mentioned what you will do and have verbalized any rules, children enter into space previously prepared.


  • role of education: participant observer.


  • Rite Closed: verbalize the end of the beginning of the reorganization and, where possible with the cooperation of children.
stages of the route:
  • Pouring chocolate cereal


  • Handling of pudding / chocolate mousse


  • bread dough with cocoa powder


  • tracks with cocoa cream.
phases of the trail are just suggestions, because it happens that the observations of children in the course of subsequent experiences and guide the times. The last two steps were repeated several times, since the children were fascinated by the transformation of matter, from the traces on his body and on the sheets, taste and intense aroma emanating from the chocolate.
Through this process has allowed the children to play, taste, handle, smell, turn and enjoy this delicacy of nature.
the children have not been anticipated with such material would play, since the surprise - try to find out how and what can be done - it was part of the game was a real pleasure to watch the wonder of their surprise!
