Creative projects for children about the Ural stones. Project "The Amazing World of Stones

Project type: group, information-cognitive-research. Project duration: 1 week. Project participants: children senior group(5-6 years old), educator.

Relevance of the project: living in a country rich in minerals, children have no knowledge of the stones and minerals around us. Acquaintance of children with a variety of stones helps to get to know the nature of Russia better. Direct communication with stones has a great influence on the formation of moral feelings in a child, contributes to the formation of an active vocabulary, develops imagination, and contributes to the harmonious development of the personality. Involvement of children in research activities is a means of forming their curiosity, interest and respectful attitude to natural resources.

Target: Creation of conditions for the development of cognitive and research abilities of pupils.

Tasks:

1.To teach children research activities aimed at understanding the world around them.

2. Develop mental operations, be able to put forward hypotheses, draw conclusions, activate the vocabulary of children.

3. To form ideas in children about the variety and characteristics of stones.

4. To acquaint children with the role of stones in human life.

5. To cultivate respect for inanimate nature.

6. Develop emotional responsiveness, curiosity, interest in a variety of natural resources.

The intended result is:

* Children have formed ideas about the properties of stones, about the features of their appearance, knowledge about the benefits of stones in nature and human life.

* Have an idea of ​​how stones are mined and how they are used, what kind of minerals Russia is rich in.

* Exhibit cognitive ability: demonstrate the prerequisites for search activity, intellectual initiative.

* Embody ideas in creative activities.

Stages of project implementation:

Stage 1. Revealing the initial knowledge of children about stones.

What do I know about stones?

Sasha: "Stones can be found in the ground, in the river."

Misha: "All stones are solid."

Stage 2. The joint activities of an adult and children are carried out taking into account the integration of educational areas:

* Experimental and experimental activities. Lesson "We are geologists". Purpose: to study the properties of stones. Tasks:

• Clarify ideas about the properties of stones: hardness, softness, buoyancy, temperature.
• Develop the speech of children: give a description of the appearance of stones, consolidate the ability to pronounce words clearly; coherently, consistently talk about the subject using a table.
• To cultivate the ability to independently build a hypothesis before starting experimenting and compare it with the result.
• Introduce the profession of a geologist.

Preliminary work: collecting various stones for the collection, reading and discussing P. Bazhov's fairy tales.

Equipment: box with semiprecious stones, letter, model of the mountain, stream, sandbags (bumps), container with water, illustrations with stone structures.

Handouts: stones by the number of children, tables, pencils and colored pencils, magnifiers, coins. Work aprons, sleeves, caps.

TSO: a laptop with illustrations of stone structures, a radio tape recorder with the sounds of a mountain river, music.

Vocabulary work: geologist, smooth, rough.

* Acquaintance with the world around: viewing the atlas "Minerals".

* Formation of elementary mathematical concepts: Didactic game"How many stones are in our collection."

* Communication: drawing up creative stories about stones by children; a child's verbal description of a stone.

* Artistic creativity: painting with watercolors on stones (children decorated stones with flowers, some painted in the form of insects).

* Didactic games with stones for the development of sensory abilities, fine motor skills.

* Role-playing game "In Search of the Treasure" (the game was played on the street).

* Safety: conversation "How to behave in the laboratory during work" (study of the properties of stones).

* An outdoor game for a walk: "Find your stone".

*Reading fiction: the tale of I.N. Ryzhova "What the pebbles were whispering about", P. Bazhov "Malakhit's box", "Silver hoof", "Mistress of the copper mountain".

Basis for Problem Development

The Ural is "the rarest place for both craftsmen and beauty." It is impossible to know the beauty of the Urals if you do not visit the amazing Ural ponds and lakes, enchanting with peace and quiet, in pine forests, on the legendary mountains. Here in the Urals, talented craftsmen lived and worked for centuries, only here could Danila the master sculpt his stone flower, and somewhere here the Ural craftsmen saw the Mistress of the Copper Mountain.

Indeed, the Urals are very fond of their nature, but they are rather unfamiliar with the richness of the Ural fabulous literary heritage. But the images created by Pavel Bazhov are directly related to national self-identification. According to the apt expression of the historian and professor of linguistics Maya Nikulina, the nature of the language conveyed in the Uralic tales of Pavel Bazhov is the language of the Russian Odyssey. And Bazhov himself is a real cult writer by today's standards, who created a new Ural mythology based on legends and traditions kept by the ubiquitous rumor, which continues to jealously guard the magic of the Place and its main realities - Stone, Mountain and Cave. MP Nikulina, historian: “Bazhov's roots should be sought not in the working Ural folklore, but in a larger and more distant space - in ancient myths, which frankly insist that the Urals is a marked land, occupying a special place on the planet.

Pedagogical practice shows that in the minds of the younger generation there is no fact of a mythological plot about the Earth on which they were born. There is no explicit knowledge about native land and the very phenomenon of the Urals, as the heart of Russia, the holder of the foundations of its ancient mythology.

The problem is revealed: the lack of systemic knowledge about the works of fiction of the Ural writers, in particular P.P. Bazhov.

Causes of the problem:

1. Educational program the inclusion of regional component, but the content of the section "Fiction" does not allow within the immediate educational activities to fully acquaint with the works of the Ural storyteller.

2. Modern society builds its life in the light of the latest resources and information, sometimes forgetting that the past and future of mankind are connected. Family education pays less and less attention to familiarizing children with the traditions and culture of their small homeland, including due to the low level of parental competence in this matter.

3. There is information starvation in the field of propaganda in the field of historical and cultural heritage and traditions of the native land.

It is possible to convey to our children the unique, enchanting image of the Urals by achieving the goal: deepening knowledge about the culture and traditions of the Ural people through familiarization with the works of the storyteller P.P. Bazhov.

The tales of P.P. Bazhova are very colorful and picturesque. His color is sustained in the spirit of folk painting, folk Ural embroidery - solid, dense, ripe. The color richness of the tales is not accidental. It is generated by the beauty of Russian nature, the beauty of the Urals. The writer in his works generously used all the possibilities of the Russian word to convey diversity colors, its richness and richness, so characteristic of the Ural nature.

The Ural land itself gave birth to legends and fairy tales. P.P.Bazhov learned to see and understand the wealth and beauty of the mountainous Urals. Bazhov's tales absorbed plot motives, fantastic images, the color of the language of folk legends and folk wisdom... Talking about the art of the Ural craftsmen, reflecting the colorfulness and originality of the old mining and factory life, Bazhov, at the same time, puts in his tales general issues- about true morality, about the spiritual beauty and dignity of a working person.

Therefore, the work on familiarizing pupils with tales should be carried out within the framework of the implementation of pedagogical tasks:

• to form ideas about the Ural writer-narrator P. Bazhov, his tales, as part of the culture of the Ural people;
• introduce parents to the basics patriotic education preschoolers, aimed at familiarizing themselves with the cultural heritage of their native land;
• to create conditions for expanding the social experience of preschoolers in the process of acquainting themselves with the historical and cultural heritage and traditions of the Urals.

THE LEGEND OF THE RAINBOW

In the old days, a rainbow sparkled in the sky. precious stones... Magnificent diamonds shone, red rubies, green emeralds, purple amethysts flashed like lights. This heavenly bridge shone with wondrous light. But people didn't want to admire the beautiful rainbow. With axes, hammers, shovels, they began to destroy a beautiful rainbow, hide fragments of precious stones in bags and the sky bridge collapsed.

Expensive stones mixed with dust and dirt, turned into pits and the magic rainbow was gone. But a miracle happened, one end of the rainbow did not crumble, but fell to the ground, and mountains rose where it fell. People called these mountains the Ural Mountains, and now treasures of precious stones are kept in the depths of the Ural Mountains. But these stones are not revealed to everyone, but only to people with clean hands and kind heart.

MALAKHIT IS A SYMBOL OF A DESIRE FULFILLMENT, IT HELPS ONE PEOPLE, IS CONSIDERED A SYMBOL OF LIFE AND GROWTH, THIS IS A STONE OF HARMONY AND LOVE.

JASPER is a stone of the brave, obedient, kind people.

Choice of research topic. Often from a walk I bring home different stones. They can be found anywhere: on the streets of our village, on the banks of the Tasheba River, even in the vegetable garden. They are not similar to each other in shape, color, size, some are beautiful, others not very much, but they are all called with one word - stone. I look at them and think - probably each of them has its own name, its own history of appearance on Earth.

I wanted to know:

Where do stones come from? How many are there on Earth?

What are their names?Why are stones needed?

I tried to find the answer to these and other questions in my work.

Purpose of the study. Learn the history of the appearance of stones on Earth, their properties and significance in human life.

Research objectives.

Find and study literature on a given topic.

Find out what classmates know about the topic.

Learn as much as possible about stones (what they are, names, stories associated with stones, how they appeared on Earth, what benefits they bring to people).

Collect a collection of stones that a person uses.

Research hypothesis. I can propose:1) stones surrounding a person may have unusual properties; 2) a person can use the various properties of stones to their advantage.

Research methods:

analysis of scientific literature;

questioning;
observation;

comparison,

generalization.

Research results

To find answers to the questions posed, I asked my parents, read books on this issue, and worked on the Internet. Here are the results of my research.

What is a "stone"?

Man has been friends with a stone for tens of thousands of years.The very first guns ancient man were made of stone. Archaeologists still find stone knives, axes, needles, spears in ancient burials. Therefore, one of the periods of ancient history is called the Stone Age.

In dictionaryI found the meaning of the word "stone".

"A stone is a solid rock in pieces or a solid mass, as well as a separate piece, a fragment of such a rock."

There are more than 8000 types of natural stones in the world.

How did stones appear on Earth?

Stones vary in color outward appearance and properties because they were "born" in different conditions.

There are rocks that were "born" from magma - molten matter from the depths of the Earth. Magma could bearlava flows during volcanic eruptionsor it froze at some depth, before reaching the earth's surface. These are igneous rocks. This is how granite and basalt were formed.
Sedimentary rocks were "born" from fragments of other rocks. They were processed and brought by water. For example, sandstone, rock salt.

Rocks could be "born" from the remains of ancient plants and animals. This is how limestone was formed.

Stories of stones.

The first stone: coal.

I found this stone in our yard. It is black, shiny, rough to the touch, hard, durable. The stone has one remarkable property - it heats up in the fire, pours with a red flame, hot, like the fire becomes and burns itself. This is bituminous coal.

Where did he come from?

It all began many millions of years ago, when the Earth was the kingdom of forests and swamps. Stepping on the forests, the swamp water flooded all the land around the giant trees, undermining their roots, the trees died and fell into a muddy swamp slurry. For a long time, a thick layer of caked plants accumulated underground. The remains of the trees rotted and turned into a brown mass - peat. Compressed by layers of earth, peat gradually hardened, turned to stone and turned into stone - brown coal. And if brown coal under the ground was very strongly compressed, then it gradually turned into black coal, and then into anthracite. This is the best grade of coal. It burns almost without smoke and gives a lot of heat.

When coal burns, it gives off a lot of heat. This is why man uses it as fuel.

In addition to heat and energy, coal gave us many other gifts: plastic toys, medicinal and aromatic substances, car tires, fishing nets, paints and varnishes.

On the map "Minerals of Khakassia" there are black squares - these are conventional signs of a coal deposit.

Not far from our village Kalinino is the city of Chernogorsk. It is called the city of coal miners. Chernogorsk got its name from the Black Mountain, it is a real pantry of coal. Coal reserves in the Chernogorsk deposit amount to hundreds of millions of tons. This coal will last for decades to come. And the reserves of the Beyskoye field are about one billion tons. In Khakassia there are also the Izykhskoye and Askizskoye deposits of coal.

The second stone: limestone.

I saw this stone at home when my parents were preparing to whitewash. If you boil it, you get lime. And the stone itself is called limestone. Limestone is a white or whitish gray stone and leaves white marks on your hands.

It is usually mined in quarries or in an open way. People who extract limestone in a quarry work as if at the bottom of the sea. Of course, now there is no sea in this place, but it was many millions of years ago (then the continents, oceans and seas were not located as they are now). Marine organisms, dying, settled to the bottom. From their skeletons, shells, limestone strata gradually formed.

When large, even limestone stones are needed, they are cut out in the quarry with special saws. If small, uneven stones are needed, they are mined with an excavator.

It is a very useful mineral. No construction site is complete without limestone. It is spent on the production of cement, which is needed to hold together building parts: bricks, slabs, blocks. Lime is obtained from limestone, which is used to whitewash walls and ceilings. Lime is also part of the plaster. It is even part of the glass.

Our republic has its own limestone deposits (on the map they are indicated by a white square with diagonals).The best of them are located in our Ust-Abakan region (these are the Uybatskoye and Ulenskoye deposits) and in the Bogradsky region (Loshinskoye deposits).

The third stone: marble.

And this snow-white beautiful stone my classmate brought it to school. This is marble. The teacher said that marble is also limestone. If the limestone sinks to a great depth (for example, during an earthquake, volcanic eruption), then under the influence high temperatures and with tremendous pressure, it turns into beautiful marble.

The marble is very durable and hard. He surprises us with different colors and patterns. Marble is well polished. Polished, it becomes smooth and extraordinarily beautiful. Therefore, marble is used for wall cladding, columns in palaces, at metro stations.

Khakassia has its own large reserves of marble (the symbol on the map is a rhombus with one diagonal). This is the Kibik-Kordonskoye field not far from the Sayano-Shushenskaya HPP, it isone of the oldest marble deposits in Russia. The marble from this deposit was used for facing metro stations in Moscow and St. Petersburg.

Limestone has another "relative" that every schoolchild is familiar with. We write and draw with them on the board, asphalt. itchalk. It, of course, bears little resemblance to a stone: less durable, easily split into pieces, crumbles. But at the same time chalk is our irreplaceable assistant at school.

Practical part . My collection "World of Stone".

With the help of my parents, I put together a collection of decorative and ornamental stones, which I called "The World of Stone". He prepared a message about his collection, a slide presentation and spoke to classmates, as well as at the school scientific-practical conference of primary school students.

Message
