At the example of life of frogs, through active learning, we learned about plants and animals of our waters. The goal of active learning is that children learn best through their own activity. Active learning is based on the concept of cooperative learning and starts from the fact that learning is a process. A teacher is the leader of the entire process in the educational, in technical and organizational terms. She encourages, guides and helps pupils in the active process of creating their knowledge. The process of interactive teaching is dynamic, active, versatile and flexible. The role of the teacher at this class was to reveal to the pupils a few scientific facts about frogs and to emphasize that their task will be writing a story about the life of a frog. The pupils had no prior knowledge about the life of a frog, so the stories were based on their research during the class: the frogs come from the eggs, then develop into tadpoles and then into frogs. The next task required the pair work and active participation of all students. The pupils were supposed to create a puppet show in order to illustrate to younger group of children what the frogs life looks like. Working on the play has requested the creation of scenery and actors / puppets with a focus on creating situations which resemble the real ones. In this way, the students discovered the habitat of frogs and their neighbors. The pupils connected their show to the theater plays they watched and they concluded that negative characters must be some natural enemies of frogs, such as storks and herons... After performing the plays the students had to write which was acquisition of learned facts. The Stage Two pupils performed a puppet show for their younger friends in the “Bees” group, and after a few days they organized a quiz.
