Walk (spring)

middle group

1. Sky observation.

Purpose: To continue acquaintance with various natural phenomena; to improve the ability to distinguish the weather, linking it with the state of the sky. Develop mindfulness. Maintain a joyful, fertile, good mood.

Guys, guess the riddle:

What is this ceiling?
He's low, he's high
Now he is gray, then whitish,
It's a little blue.
And sometimes so beautiful -
Lace and blue-blue!(Sky)

Correctly guessed. This is heaven. Look at the sky. What can you say about it? (It's blue, grey, clear)

Tell me if the sky is blue-blue, then what day? (clear, sunny)

And if the sky is gray, what day is it? (cloudy, sad)

What day would you like to take a long walk? Why?

What day can it rain? Why do you think so?

Think about what day it is good to walk? Why?

Listen to the verse and say what it is about.

What? What's the matter?

The sky suddenly turned blue

And evil frosts rushed off ...

In the yard - drops and puddles ...

Who is to blame for this?

Well, of course, the month of March.

Did you like the poem?

So what is this verse about? (About spring)

What month of spring is mentioned in the poem? (About March)

What spring months do you know?

Yes folks, the month of March is ending now. April will be soon, and then May. And our sky every day will be bluer and bluer, the sun will warm more strongly.

Tell me what we saw today?

What do you remember from our conversation?

1. Mobile game.

"Airplanes" (4 times)

Purpose: To develop the ability to navigate in space, and move without bumping into each other.

Game progress: Children are divided into four links and placed at different ends of the site. Everyone is given homemade planes (yellow, green, black, orange). The players pretend to be pilots.

At the command of the educator “Get ready for the flight!” children make circular movements with their hands - they start motors. "Fly!" - says the teacher, they raise their hands to the sides and run in different directions throughout the site.

"Airplanes are flying

And they don't want to land

In the sky they rush merrily,

But don't run into each other.

Suddenly a big cloud flies

It's dark all around

Airplanes - in your circle "

(planes of the same color are built in a circle and go down on one knee). The teacher notes which link was built faster.

1. Labor activity.

Collective work on the site for spreading snow.

Purpose: To continue to teach to work in a team, to help adults. Develop the ability to work with a shovel. Cultivate a positive attitude towards work.

1. Individual work.

"Throw Up to Heaven"

Purpose: To improve the ability to throw the ball and catch it. Help develop motor skills. Develop dexterity, attention.

1. STD.

Spring bouquet of branches.

Purpose: To arouse interest in arranging a bouquet of broken branches. Create conditions for independent creativity. Develop imagination and fantasy.

1. Mobile game.

"The Birds and the Cat" (3 times)

Target: To consolidate the ability to play a leading role in the game, to consciously relate to the implementation of the rules of the game. Develop the ability to run easily and rhythmically.

Game progress: The teacher lays out houses from the hoop. Children stand in the center of the circle - they are birds. One child is assigned a cat, he is on the sidelines. The cat falls asleep (closes her eyes), and the birds jump out of the circle, fly, sit down, peck at the grains. At the signal of the teacher, the cat wakes up and catches the birds, they run away in a circle. The cat takes away the caught birds. The game is repeated. The role of the cat is played by another child.

Removable material.

For labor activity: shoulder blades.

For independent activity: broken tree branches.

For an outdoor game: a cat mask, airplanes for each child, 4-5 hoops, a ball.

Cloud watching with kids

Watching the clouds with children is a very exciting activity.

Today I want to remember the happy days of the outgoing summer and offer you a comprehensive lesson in observing the clouds with children. This lesson is suitable both for conducting observation in kindergarten by educators, as well as by parents outside the kindergarten.

From my teaching experience, I can say that watching such a natural phenomenon as clouds is very popular with children and is never boring. However, the latter directly depends on adults.

Watching the clouds with children in a playful way

So, one fine summer day, we raised our heads up and saw ...

And now it's worth guessing a riddle:

White cotton wool floats somewhere.
The lower the wool, the closer the rain.

Everyone is swimming, swimming somewhere,
The sky is white as cotton.
That whimsically merge -
Will turn into a white bird.
They melt like smoke
They will become one speck.

Of course they are clouds. Children are invited to watch the clouds, express their opinion on what they look like. In order to make observing the clouds more interesting and fun, offer the children the game "Catch the Cloud".

For this game, you need to prepare cardboard boxes with slots in the middle in advance. Children look at the clouds through a hole in the cardboard. Children really like this game moment and they very vividly tell who caught which cloud.

Ask the children to pick up adjectives for the word "clouds" - what are they? (white, fluffy, fabulous, etc.). Ask the child to complete the phrase: "clouds are light, how ...?" (down, cotton wool, feather, etc.). Ask the child how he understands the expression "Having his head in the clouds."

Where do clouds come from? Have the children do the experiment.

Cloud-in-the-bank experience.

In a group of children, this experience is conducted by an adult, and the children observe and draw conclusions. At home, you can connect a child to the experiment, but be sure to warn that you will be working with hot water. Discuss safety rules.

For the experiment, you will need a three-liter jar, an iron lid, hot (but not boiling water) water, ice cubes.

Hot water is poured into the jar to a height of about 2.5 centimeters. Now we cover the jar with an iron lid and put ice cubes on it. The warm air inside the jar rises and cools. The vapor in the air forms a cloud.

This is what happens in nature: drops, having warmed up on the ground, rise up. It gets cold there, and they huddle together to form a cloud. When they meet together, they increase, become heavy and fall to the ground in the form of rain.

See how drops flow down the walls of the jar. Pay attention to what happens to the ice on the lid, why did a puddle form next to the ice? (In heat, ice melts, since ice is frozen water). Have the children look at the water cycle.

Conclude: clouds are water droplets that, when heated by the sun's rays, turn into steam and rise up. When there are many such evaporated droplets in one place, we observe clouds in the sky.

It's time to move a little. You can do a physical.

Fizminutka "Cloud"

Starting position - squatting or kneeling.

white cloud (Rounded hands in front of you)
Raised above the roof (Get up from your haunches or get up from your knees)
The cloud rushed
Higher, higher, higher(Pull your arms up)
The wind is a cloud (Smooth swaying your arms above your head from side to side)
Caught on a twist.
The cloud turned into a thundercloud. (Hands describe a large circle through the sides down and lower them; sit down).

Presentation for children "Clouds are floating in the sky"

Clouds can be of different shapes, colors, sizes, cirrus, rain, cumulus, stratus. The appearance of clouds depends on how quickly they form and how much water they contain.

In order to tell children about the different types of clouds, I offer the presentation "Clouds are floating in the sky." To start a flash presentation, click on the name or on the picture below. All subscribers get access to download an updated version of the presentation with the karaoke song "Clouds, White-Maned Horses". The subscription form is located in the site bar.

Mobile game "Find the Cloud"

For this game, you need to place pictures or photos with different types of clouds at different ends of the room or group. Then the adult says: “We all run to the cumulus clouds!”. Then the children explain why they ran to this particular picture. The adult then invites everyone to run towards a different type of cloud, and so on. The game lasts 3-5 minutes.

And now all children are invited to the creative workshop. Here all the clouds in the most wonderful way will turn into various animals, plants or something unusual. In everything that the inexhaustible children's imagination will tell you.

Children are given pictures with images of clouds and felt-tip pens. The child must draw on the cloud what he sees. Drawing examples:

Astronomy is one of the oldest sciences; it arose on the basis of the practical needs of man and developed along with him.

We often turn our eyes to the night starry sky, but do we know which constellations can be seen at different times of the year in our region?

This question interested me. After the whole class visited the Omsk Planetarium, I began to make my own observations. During the year, I followed the changes in the starry sky, setting a goal for myself.

Astronomy is the science of the Universe and the objects inhabiting it: planets, stars and giant star systems - galaxies.

The name of this ancient science that studies celestial bodies is derived from the Greek words "astron" - star and "nomos" - law.

The main subject of astronomy is the stars - huge balls of gas that radiate energy. This energy is produced in the interiors of stars mainly by nuclear reactions.

Together with clouds of hydrogen, stars form giant systems - galaxies.

The closest star to us is the Sun. Around it, in addition to 9 large planets: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, our Earth, several thousand asteroids, comets, meteor dust rotate.

When the sun disappears below the horizon and night falls, the most amazing picture in the world appears before our eyes: the starry sky.

We all love to watch these countless sparkling points that are strewn with the sky - the stars. At first glance, you can count several thousand stars, but in reality there are billions of them. Just as during the day you can not see the light of a light bulb or lantern, and in the dark they are clearly distinguishable, the stars sparkle brightly in the darkness of the night and are not visible during the day, because they are overshadowed by sunlight. And that's why they are hard to see on a clear moon.

Turning your gaze into the night sky, you see how the Moon glows with the reflected light of the Sun. She moves against the backdrop of stars around the earth.

Looking with the naked eye, in the night sky the stars appear to us as dots, because even the nearest of them is millions of times farther than the Sun.

The sun is one of the stars, and the stars are suns very far from us.

Most galaxies look like hazy patches from the ground. They consist of millions of stars, such as the bright strip of the Milky Way - the densest part of our Galaxy, on the outskirts of which the Sun is located.

Stars are like huge balls of fire, they emit a huge amount of light - and from Earth we perceive this light as a silvery sheen. This is because stars are formed by burning hydrogen and helium, and these gases emit light and heat when they burn. The brightest stars are many million times brighter than the sun, although there are stars whose luminosity is millions of times less.

All information about the Universe and star systems, about the nature of stars and planets, astronomers receive by analyzing the electromagnetic radiation emanating from celestial bodies.

2. 2. Elementary astronomical information.

Elementary astronomical information was known thousands of years ago in Babylon, Egypt, and China and was used by the peoples of these countries to measure time and orientate themselves along the horizon. Thousands of years ago, the astronomers of ancient Greece and China considered the constellations and gave them names in honor of the heroes of myths and legends. The names of some constellations have survived to this day: the constellations of Leo, Ursa Major, Centaur, Pegasus, Cassiopeia, etc. d3.

In order to better distinguish the stars, in the ancient world, thousands of years ago, astronomers grouped them together as if they were points of an imaginary figure: a lion, scales, a snake, or other objects and mythological creatures. These groups of stars they called the constellations of the Southern Hemisphere and the constellations of the Northern Hemisphere. 7.

In ancient times, constellations helped travelers navigate and find their way, especially at sea. Even then, people noticed that all the stars seem to revolve around the North Star. The polar star appears to be stationary.

It is located almost directly above the North Pole, so sailors could use it to navigate and determine where the south, west and east are. In the Southern Hemisphere, it is convenient to navigate by the constellation of the Southern Cross. It is featured on the flag of Australia and New Zealand.

When I look into the night sky, I see thousands of lights twinkle and shimmer on its black velvet. Some of them are planets, including our Earth. Scientists have combined all the bright stars visible from the Earth into conditional figures - constellations. Astronomers number eighty-eight constellations. Each of them has its own name. The names of many constellations are taken from ancient legends. From the ground, it seems that the stars in the constellation are close, but they are not. In the Universe, the stars of the same constellation, as a rule, are very far from each other. When people talk about stars, they usually mean all the luminous bodies that can be seen in the night sky.

Consider how stars are born. Almost all of them evolved in small groups from a relatively cold mass of gas and stardust. This mass is concentrated, that is, particles of cosmic matter have united, forming a kind of cloud called a nebula.

Perhaps this nebula began to rotate and reached the highest temperatures, about a million of the highest temperatures, about a million degrees centigrade. The nebula, lit up, already becomes a star. Many of them, however, are not stars, but planets or simply clouds of gas.

A star is a ball of gas heated to such a temperature that it glows. The temperature of the stars ranges from 2100 degrees Celsius to 50,000 degrees Celsius.

When we look at the stars, it seems to us that they are all the same color: white-bluish.

But it is certain that they all have different colors, which depend on their temperature. Stars that give off more heat are white and blue. Their surface temperature reaches 100,000 degrees. Yellow and orange stars have an average temperature. The coldest stars are red. Their temperature is 2000 degrees. The sun is a yellow star. Its temperature is 6000 degrees.

3. Practical part.

Observations of the starry sky.

Watching the starry sky at different times of the year, you can see some of the constellations of the zodiac. In spring, large spaces appear in the sky, in which there are no bright stars. This season, the Milky Way is visible near the northern horizon. This spring is especially loved by astronomers who study other galaxies. They surround us everywhere, but are best seen at this time of the year.

3. 1. The main constellations of the spring sky.

In spring, large spaces appear in the sky, in which there are no bright stars. This season, the Milky Way is visible near the northern horizon.

According to my observations in the spring, some constellations are clearly visible, namely the constellations of Leo, Bootes, Virgo, Cancer, Hydra and Chalice. .

3. 2. The main constellations of the summer sky.

The end of summer is the best time to study the constellations. It is still warm, it does not get dark too late, and on clear evenings, before the moon has appeared, one can see a beautiful picture of a starry night.

Before us opens the heavens, shining with many stars. A hazy, frayed ribbon of the Milky Way stretched obliquely across the entire sky. The Summer Triangle leaned against it with its right corner. The summer triangle is formed by three main stars of different constellations: Vega - Lyra, Deneb - Cygnus and Altair - Eagle. .

3. 3. The main constellations of the autumn sky.

If in the summer in the night sky the Summer Triangle instantly attracts the eye, then when looking at the autumn sky, an almost regular quadrangle of bright stars, the so-called Pegasus Square, immediately catches the eye.

In ancient times, the constellation was simply called the Horse. This winged horse, like Taurus, by the way, has only the front part shown in the sky. We see him upside down.

In the autumn sky you can see such constellations as - Pegasus, Andromeda, Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn. .

3. 4. The main constellations of the winter sky.

Winter in our latitudes is the most favorable season for observing the Moon and planets, since the Milky Way rises high above the horizon at this time of the year. The winter sky is rich with bright stars and noticeable, easily found constellations. And besides, in winter it gets dark early and dawns late, so the time for observing the starry sky increases.

In the middle of the Milky Way sparkles a huge and perhaps the brightest constellation in our sky - Orion. It is easy to recognize - it is a quadrangle of bright stars marking the knees and shoulders of the great hunter. Between them shine the three stars of the hero's belt, going up from left to right. Orion's belt is a real decoration of the winter sky of our latitudes.

Even I, who have little orientation in the stars, can easily find this row of three bright stars and, taking it as a guide, can easily see the other stars of Orion and the surrounding star hunter - the giant of the constellation like Canis Major and Minor, Unicorn, Hare, Eridanus.

It is not surprising that astronomers for quite a long time, more than 200 years, along with the study of the properties of individual celestial bodies, have been striving to study the properties of the Universe as a whole. They study the stars and planets, observe their movements and describe their features. Thanks to Astronomers, we know what the Milky Way is, how many planets are in the solar system, and what are the phases of the moon. Astrologers also believe that the position of the stars and planets affects a person's life. According to astrologers, there are twelve constellations in the sky that affect the life and destiny of people. Astrologers call them the zodiac signs: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. Each zodiac sign corresponds to a specific time of the month. So according to astrologers, the fact of being born under a certain sign affects the personality of each person.

An old diagram depicting the movement of the planets around the sun also shows the ecliptic belt depicting 12 figures of the zodiac constellations.

Using the analysis of encyclopedic literature and my observations, I managed to compile a list of constellations that are visible to the naked eye at different times of the year.

The reason for the change of constellations in the sky is associated with the rotation of the earth around the sun and therefore different constellations are visible in different hemispheres at different times of the year.

In our region, we, unfortunately, cannot see the constellation of the Southern Cross, the Argo Ship (consisting of the constellations of Sail, Korma, Carina), Goldfish and many others, because they are located in the southern hemisphere and we cannot see them when the earth rotates .

My interest in astronomy has not faded away, but only strengthened. And I am sure that in the near future, stargazing will bring many more surprises to mankind, many more world discoveries will be made: after all, today astronomy is one of the most dynamically developing sciences.

The closest celestial body to us is, a satellite of the Earth, a world of rocks the size of a quarter of the Earth. The Sun is a ball of hot gas, more than 100 times the size of the Earth. We are separated from the Sun by about 150 million km - a distance taken as one astronomical unit(a. e.).

The moon makes a complete revolution around the earth in 27.3 days, while the earth turns around the sun in 1 year (365.24 days). Orbits lie inside the orbit of the Earth, while - the outermost planet of the solar system. Seven stars are within 10 light-years of us, and the closest one to us is a faint companion. Alpha Centauri. The solar system is located in one of the spiral arms of the Milky Way, which consists of stars, gas and dust. The Local Group includes three spiral galaxies: the Andromeda Galaxy (M31), the Milky Way and the MZZ. The local supercluster of galaxies in Virgo consists of about 5 thousand galaxies, united in several clouds. There are billions of galaxies in clusters, layers and chains separated by empty space.

Observation of luminous objects in the starry sky

On a good clear night, up to 3,000 stars can be observed in the sky with the naked eye. The bright band of the Milky Way is also clearly visible. The observer is able to detect up to five planets. In appearance, very similar to stars, the planets differ in that they move relative to the starry sky. The moon changes position and phase during its monthly cycle. At times, the dark sky is drawn by bright stripes, flashing and fading in a split second. These are the so-called falling stars are actually meteors. It happens that the head of a comet and its ghostly glowing tail are visible in the sky.

The scale of the universe

The speed of which is 300 thousand km / s, travels from the Moon in a little over a second. It takes the Sun's rays 8.3 minutes to reach Earth, and it takes light about 5.5 hours to travel from us to Pluto. When estimating the distances to the stars, it is no longer possible to get by with seconds as within the limits of the solar system. Take for example the nearest star, called Proxima Centauri, it takes 4.3 years of light from it, and this faint red star is said to be at a distance of 4.3 light years. The diameter of our Galaxy is about 100 thousand light years! It is even more difficult to imagine the distances between galaxies. For example, the nearest galaxy to us, Andromeda, is located at a distance of 2.2 million light years from us. Together with our galaxy, it is included in local group, consisting of approximately 30 galaxies concentrated in a region with a diameter of about 4 million light years. The local group is located on the edge of a huge supercluster in Virgo. Modern telescopes make it possible to detect galaxies at a distance of more than 10 billion light years, while the number of galaxies in the entire observable universe is much larger and amounts to many billions.

Returning to the stars, it should be said that others are much further than the mentioned proxima of Centauri. The speed of light is about 300 thousand km/s. The distance that it can cover in one year (about 10 billion km) is called light year. What can we say about other stars, when the closest one to us is 4.3 light years away. The sun is also a star, one of the billion that make up our galaxy, or the Milky Way. Of course, our Galaxy is not the only one in the Universe. Astronomers have the opportunity to observe billions of such formations, remote at distances up to 10 billion light years. Galaxies form groups, or clusters, which in turn unite into even larger superclusters. But all this is only a part of the Universe, the dimensions of which are still unknown, inaccessible to human imagination.

Starry sky maps

If you live north of the equator, the names of the months will tell you when the suit of the celestial sphere adjacent to them on the map will be in the south at 10 pm. A month later, the same part of the sky should be sought in the south at 8 pm. If you live south of the equator, the names of the months will indicate when the corresponding part of the sky is at 10 pm in the north.

For many millennia, stars have attracted the attention of people who already in ancient times knew how to distinguish groups of stars with a characteristic arrangement - constellations, to which they gave the names of characters in myths and legends. Among the many constellations, some are easily recognizable, others require more imagination. One of the most notable is Orion. This constellation appears to us as a hunter striding across the sky.

Landmarks in the starry sky

Continuing mentally the straight line connecting the three stars of Orion's belt, and one side, we will find Sirius- the brightest star in the sky. Continuing the line in the opposite direction, we will find the star Aldebaran in the constellation Taurus. The seven brightest stars in Ursa Major form the Big Dipper. Two wonderful stars Merah and Dubhe are also called Pointers, because the straight line connecting them will always show the observer the way to the North Star.
