Secondary abstract:	The diploma thesis presents the process of the research of a closed-ended problem, namely on the subject of “From Grass to Ice Cream”. The children’s own activity in the research of the “milk path” (grass-cow-milk-dairy-dairy products-ice cream-shop) is presented. The first part of the theoretical part summarises what natural science for children should be like, presents learning according to High/Scoop’s preschool curriculum, and describes the closed-ended research method. The second part touches upon the living environment and the meaning of a healthy diet, milk and dairy products to be exact. The empirical part includes the research data in which 64 preschool children participated in the age group from 5 to 6 years. The questions in the questionnaire are structured to reveal their perceptions of the importance of milk for the human organism, where we get milk from, what dairy products are, etc. The practical part includes active participation and getting the children acquainted with the close and wider social and living environment. Following the introductory activity (a surprise box), children were introduced to the research problem and were completely motivated for their research and game. They became genuine little researchers who found themselves in a multitude of information. Through the project, they became acquainted with the work on a farm, the animals that give milk, the work in dairies, different dairy products, and, last but not least, the entire path “from grass to ice cream”. In the process of research, they developed a sense of mutual cooperation and the ability of critical evaluation, and gained new knowledge and information. Children’s curiosity, their innate desire to explore and their own activity led them to new findings. This was also demonstrated by the final questionnaire given to the children, because their perception changed drastically after the completed activities.

Abstract (ePrints):	Diplomska naloga predstavlja proces raziskovanja problema zaprtega tipa, in sicer na temo »Od trave do sladoleda«. Predstavljena je lastna aktivnost otrok pri raziskovanju »mlečne poti« (trava–krava–mleko–mlekarna–mlečni izdelki–sladoled–trgovina). V prvem delu teoretičnega dela sem povzela, kakšno naj bo naravoslovje za najmlajše, predstavila sem učenje po High/Scoopovem predšolskem kurikulumu in opisala metodo zaprtega tipa raziskovanja. V drugem delu sem se dotaknila življenjskega okolja in pomena zdrave prehrane, natančneje mleka in mlečnih izdelkov. Empirični del zajema podatke raziskave, v kateri je sodelovalo 64 predšolskih otrok v starostni skupini 5 do 6 let. Vprašanja v anketi so sestavljena tako, da razkrivajo njihove predstave o pomenu mleka za naš organizem, od kje dobimo mleko, kaj so to mlečni izdelki itd. Praktični del vključuje aktivno sodelovanje in spoznavanje otrok z ožjim in širšim družbeno-življenjskim okoljem. Po uvodni dejavnosti (škatla presenečenja) so otroci spoznali raziskovalni problem in bili popolnoma motivirani za raziskovanje in igro. Postali so pravi mali raziskovalci, ki se znajdejo v množici informacij. Preko projekta so spoznali delo na kmetiji, živali, ki dajejo mleko, delo v mlekarnah in trgovinah, različne mlečne izdelke in ne nazadnje celotno pot »od trave do sladoleda«. V procesu raziskovanja so razvijali občutek za medsebojno sodelovanje ter sposobnost kritičnega vrednotenja ter pridobivali nova znanja in informacije. Otroška radovednost, prirojena želja po raziskovanju in lastna aktivnost jih je pripeljala do novih ugotovitev. To je prikazala tudi končna anketa otrok, saj so se njihove predstave po končanih dejavnostih močno spremenile.
