Abstrakt
In the contribution is introduced a seminar designed for future primary school teachers, students of Pedagogical Faculty, Charles University, Prague. Primary school teachers are the first ones in the school attendance who introduce pupils to the natural science.
Thus it is very important to gain their interest and to motivate them to future studies. Young pupils are very inquiring, they want to know how things work and they love to do experiments.
Our seminar provides the opportunity to familiarize the future teachers with experiments from the parts of natural science that are taught at primary school and give them an opportunity to tray them themselves. The emphasis is put on hands-on activities of the future teachers and on self-production of simple teaching aids, as well as on correct explanations of showen phenomena and on ways how to present them to young pupils, and most common misconceptions are mentioned, too.
