Abstract :

Pre-primary school education in natural sciences running in the real and virtual world is applying to pre-primary children and to individual education. Children could be educated with groups at school or outside school premises. Children of contemporary generation Z grow up in the era of digital technology. These children are interested and involved in several activities and change them often. The goal of the teacher is to prepare the projects of natural sciences that let children use digital technology. The latter helps to liven educational process and children could be more interested in the activity. Pre-primary school children create, explore, enjoy, solve problems, think critically, search for information, work together as a team while dealing with investigative, creative and educational work. While sharing the ideas and experience with others, children involve their parents and community of the kindergarten in the activities. Trips, excursions, virtual journeys help the children to express themselves, cooperate, gain self-esteem and rely on others, help to be responsible, strengthen reciprocal relations between nature, child, teacher and society.
