| Summary: | 碩士 === 正修科技大學 === 幼兒保育研究所 === 105 === The health problem caused by “smoking” is the most easily prevented disease recognised in the world nowadays. Even though, smoke exposure cannot be limited, isolated and such issue worsens every day. Unfortunately, children are especially sensitive to any kind of environmental hazardous matter. They are under the exposure of second-hand smoke and even “third-hand smoke”, if any of the parents is a regular smoker. Therefore, a series of scientific tutorials was conducted on “conservation of mass” and the concept of harmful smoke, in order to allow children to distinguish the potentially harmful “third-hand smoke” and to strengthen their scientific altitude which included curiosity, willingness to try, joy of discovery, spirit of proving, patience and perseverance, open-mindedness, team work spirit, courage to face failure and DIYs. The Sample size is 24 children around 5-6 years old taken from a private kindergarten in Kaohsiung. This study lasted for 4 weeks. Research shows: 1.Children’s “understanding of third-hand smoke” would have a significant diffenence (P<.001) after the scientific tutorials. The significant diffenences (p<.05) were also found on “Reasons of existence of air’ and “Location of air”. 2. There was significant correlation (p<.01 ) between “understanding of third-hand smoke” and “understanding of air”. 3. The children’s scientific altitudes had significant diffenences (p<.001) after the scientific experiments. 4. There were significant correlations between children’s scientific altitudes and “Older mother ” (P<.001), “Older father ” (P<.05), and “longer reading hours for children” (p<.05) , especially and was not related to gender.It also means, it was effective to raise children’s understanding of gas by adding the scientific attitudes into a science activity.
