Father, mother, teacher, educator and others are guides who lead the child through activities on the path of cognition and learning. Children face questions why, how, when and what every day. They are amazed by the things they do not know. Nature, science and water are offering rich mental challenges. People discovered that water does not exist only in liquid form but also in gaseous and solid states long ago. Aim of my diploma thesis is to determine whether toddlers are able to distinguish liquid water from other similar liquids, do they know what ice is and whether they are able to distinguish it from substances similar to ice. The third part of the research relates to water in gaseous form, where preschoolers were answering questions about steam and smoke.
