Dossier WeitBlick NMG: HIMMELSPHÄNOMENE

The proven series "Dossier 4 to 8" forms the foundation for building competencies that are included in the teaching material "WeitBlick NMG." Therefore, the series has been called "Dossier WeitBlick NMG" since 2021. The established concept remains: Practically tested learning arrangements (modules) provide development-oriented approaches to competencies from the subject area NMG (Curriculum 21), support the planning of thematic, interdisciplinary teaching sequences, and create play-learning environments for early education. These can be adapted according to the teaching situation, class, and the teacher's annual planning, as well as supplemented with their own ideas.

Celestial phenomena – From sunrise to starry night. Children observe the daytime sky, marvel at the moon in its various phases, and explore the night sky. The modules in this dossier demonstrate how young children can find understandable yet connected answers to exciting and frequently asked questions about the universe.

Language planning for the modules supports the targeted development of vocabulary (various word fields, chunks, and procedures) and the language-promoting interaction behavior of teachers.

Modules: We look at the sky – Perceiving, collecting, and organizing celestial phenomena; The sun at the center – The movement of the Earth around itself and around the sun; What shape is the moon? – Observing the moon over a month; Off to the moon mission – Preparing for the adventure in space; Starry night – Turning our gaze to the night sky.
