Fysik finns alltid där var vi än är och vad vi än gör. : En jämförelse mellan små- och storbarnsavdelning

Sammanfattning: The purpose of this study is to gain understanding of when and how the preschool teacher is working with physics in preschool, and if there is any difference in the work depending on the age of the children. The survey was conducted with qualitative interviews with ten preschool teachers. The result of the survey showed that there are some differences and similarities in the work of physics in preschool depending on the age group you are working in. The activities chosen to make physics visible to the children, and how to help each other in different departments to get tips and advice for work with physics was different. The teachers of toddlers section (1-3) saw physics in everyday situations and tried to take advantage of these situations and they felt lonely in their planning of work with physics. While large children's departments (3-5) had planned activities and took advantage of physics in everyday situations with the work with physics and they had more collaboration between different departments. All teachers see the time they go to the forest as the planned time they have focused on natural sciences and physics. But physics is not usually visible during this time.
