This topic can be a great provocation for:

Learn about the children’s previous knowledge about nature, our planet, what it is for and what
it’s made of?
Discover mathematical concepts – prediction, systems, cause-effect, discover patterns and
sequences in nature, organizing, tables, Venn charts for comparisons, cycles, relationships.
Promote language, arts, science and exploration, prediction, documentation, geography,
history, citizenship and values
It is an ample and versatile topic that allows great flexibility to promote all dimensions of
development.
It is a topic that allows us to get to know ourselves better and to know that world that surrounds
us.
It is a topic that sends a message to the boys and girls of the importance of nature in our lives,
how it affects us, how it nourishes us, and how what we do has a repercussion in that
relationship. It is a rich topic, adaptable to all different ages.
It allows for playing, enjoying, exploring, being creative, being scientific.
It is a topic that connects with the children; that offers the possibility of learning something
regardless of age that affects us personally and therefore connects with intrinsic motivators for
each individual that allows that we give our own contributions empowering each one of the
projects actors.
It is a topic that transcends traditional topics about animals to give a more global and integrated
focus to deepen comprehension.
The focus on nature invites us to study animals, plants, places, climate, and all possible
relationships between them. This way we invite them to see the whole and the parts
permanently doing connections with the boys and girls daily lives.
It is a very ample topic that gives the teacher flexibility to work on it starting from the
children’s and your own interests. It is important to always keep the comprehension objectives
so as not to lose the project’s path.

Comprehension Objectives:

Understand what nature is and how it works, and the direct relationship that we have with it.
