Game program - Agent 009

Target: Developing interest in the natural world through playful forms of work.
Tasks:
1. Formation of teamwork skills.
2. Consolidation of knowledge.
3. Development of creative activity.
The game can be used by teachers as an event in the environmental education section during class hours, by educators when organizing leisure time at summer playgrounds, even as a joint event with parents and additional education teachers. Children's age is 9-10 years. Questions and tasks are designed for playing in teams (or individually).

Progress of the game.

A person who truly loves nature must be kind, sensitive, and tolerant. But in order to study nature and be truly a friend to it, you need to have a large number of different abilities and develop them. That is, young naturalists are real special agents. Smart, resourceful, determined, quick-witted. In today's competition "Agent - 009" you can show all your knowledge and abilities. Why 9? Yes, because today you have to complete 9 tasks.

Well done boys.
Nature teaches us to be wise, attentive, observant. So that we guys, gaining knowledge and experience, can help her now and in the future. Our planet is in our hands!

Nature is everything that surrounds us and is not created with human participation. So, the forests, mountains, seas, stars that surround us are nature. But houses, books, cars, spaceships do not belong to nature.

In nature there are living and non-living objects. It is customary to classify as living everything that is capable of living, developing, growing, eating, and reproducing independently. These are plants, animals, and, of course, man himself.

Signs of wildlife objects

The main characteristics of living nature objects include the ability of an organism to complete the following life cycle:

• Birth, growth and development. So, from a seed a whole tree grows, the baby becomes an adult.
• Reproduction. Objects of living nature are capable of producing their own kind.
• Nutrition. All living things need food: plants ask for water, animals eat grass, plants or other animals.
• Breath. All living organisms have respiratory organs: in humans and many animals they are lungs, in fish they are gills, in plants they are cells that absorb carbon dioxide.
• Movement. Unlike most objects of inanimate nature, living organisms move: animals and humans move on their legs and paws, plants turn after the sun, bloom flowers.
• Dying is the final cycle of an organism's life. After an object of living nature ceases to absorb food, breathe and move, it dies and becomes an object of inanimate nature. So, a tree is an object of living nature, but a felled trunk already belongs to inanimate nature.

All these abilities are inherent only to living organisms. That is, those objects that grow, reproduce, feed, breathe and are classified as objects of living nature.

Unlike objects of living nature, non-living ones are incapable of such actions. For example, a ray of the Sun, the Moon, a comet, sand, stone, rock, water, snow are objects of inanimate nature. Despite the fact that many of them are able to move (for example, water in a river), others are able to grow (for example, mountains), these objects do not reproduce, do not feed, and they do not have respiratory organs.

But plants, which do not move, are capable of nutrition and respiration, and therefore belong to living nature.

Wildlife objects: examples

In biology, the following types of living nature objects are distinguished:

Microorganisms- These are the oldest forms of life on our planet. The first microorganisms appeared billions of years ago. Microorganisms live there. Where there is water. Their main feature is their incredible resilience, since microorganisms survive under almost any conditions. They are classified as objects of living nature because they consume food (water and nutrients) and can reproduce and grow. And over time they die.

Microorganisms include various types of bacteria, viruses, and fungi.

Plants. The world of flora on earth is unusually large and multifaceted. Starting from single-celled algae such as the slipper ciliate or amoeba and ending with giant cedars or baobabs, all plants are considered objects of living nature. Firstly, they are able to grow and reproduce. Secondly, all plants need nutrition, some of which is obtained from water, some from soil. Thirdly, plants move: they unfold and fold leaves, shed leaves and flowers, open buds, and turn after the sun. Fourthly, plants respire, absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen.

However, it is worth remembering that after dying, plants pass into the class of objects of inanimate nature.

Animals- another type of wildlife, the most numerous, since it includes a wide variety of species: mammals, birds, fish, amphibians, insects. Representatives of the fauna are also capable of reproduction; they breathe and eat, move and grow, adapting to environmental conditions.

Human- the highest stage of development of a living organism. It is man who has all the abilities of an object of living nature: a person is born, grows, produces his own kind, eats, breathes and, ultimately, dies.

Interaction of living and inanimate nature

All objects of living and inanimate nature are closely interconnected and influence each other. So, the Sun is an object of inanimate nature. But without its warmth and energy, life cannot exist. The same can be said about water, which served as the source of the origin of life on our planet.

All living organisms breathe. Therefore, to survive they need air, which is an object of inanimate nature.

With the help of the stars and the Sun, birds navigate in flight; with their help, humans determine the cycles for growing plants.

In turn, living nature also influences objects of inanimate nature. Thus, a person, building cities, drains swamps and destroys mountains, plants, releasing oxygen, change the structure of the air, some species of animals dig holes, choosing an object of inanimate nature - soil - for their home.

It must be remembered that inanimate nature is primary, basic. We draw everything we need from inanimate nature; from there we get water, air, heat and energy, without which life is impossible.

What are natural phenomena? What are they? You will find answers to these questions in this article. The material can be useful both for preparing for a lesson on the world around us and for general development.

Everything that surrounds us and is not created by human hands is nature.

All changes that occur in nature are called natural phenomena or natural phenomena. The rotation of the Earth, its movement in orbit, the change of day and night, the change of seasons are examples of natural phenomena.

Seasons are also called seasons. Therefore, natural phenomena associated with the changing seasons are called seasonal phenomena.

Nature, as you know, can be inanimate and living.

Inanimate nature includes: the Sun, stars, celestial bodies, air, water, clouds, stones, minerals, soil, precipitation, mountains.

Living nature includes plants (trees), mushrooms, animals (animals, fish, birds, insects), microbes, bacteria, and humans.

In this article we will look at winter, spring, summer and autumn natural phenomena in animate and inanimate nature.

Winter natural phenomena

Examples of winter phenomena in inanimate nature

Examples of winter phenomena in wildlife

Snow is a type of winter precipitation in the form of crystals or flakes. Snowfall – heavy snowfall in winter. A blizzard is a strong blowing snowstorm that occurs mainly in flat, treeless areas. A blizzard is a snow storm with strong winds. A snowstorm is a winter phenomenon in inanimate nature, when a strong wind raises a cloud of dry snow and impairs visibility at low temperatures. Buran is a blizzard in the steppe area, in open areas. Blizzard - wind transfer of previously fallen and (or) falling snow. Glaze is the formation of a thin layer of ice on the surface of the earth as a result of cold weather after a thaw or rain. Ice - the formation of a layer of ice on the surface of the earth, trees, wires and other objects that form after freezing drops of rain or drizzle; Icicles - icing when liquid drains in the form of a cone pointed downwards. Frosty patterns are essentially frost that forms on the ground and on tree branches and on windows. Freeze-up is a natural phenomenon when a continuous ice cover is established on rivers, lakes and other bodies of water; Clouds are a collection of water droplets and ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere, visible in the sky with the naked eye. Ice, as a natural phenomenon, is the process of transition of water into a solid state. Frost is a phenomenon when the temperature drops below 0 degrees Celsius. Frost is a snow-white fluffy coating that grows on tree branches and wires in calm frosty weather, mainly during fog, appearing with the first sharp cold snaps. Thaw - Warm weather in winter with melting snow and ice.

Bear hibernation is a period of slowing down of life processes and metabolism in homeothermic animals during periods of low food availability. Hibernation of hedgehogs - due to lack of nutrition in winter, hedgehogs hibernate. The change in color of a hare from gray to white is a mechanism by which hares adapt to a change in environment. The squirrel's color change from red to bluish-gray is a mechanism by which squirrels adapt to changing environments. Bullfinches and tits arrive People dressed in winter clothes

Spring natural phenomena

Names of spring phenomena in inanimate nature

Names of spring phenomena in wildlife

Ice drift is the movement of ice downstream during river melting. Snowmelt is a natural phenomenon when the snow begins to melt. Thawed patches are a phenomenon of early spring, when areas that have thawed from snow appear, most often around trees. Flood is a phase of the water regime of a river that repeats annually at the same time with a characteristic rise in water level. Thermal winds are the general name for winds associated with the temperature difference that occurs between a cold spring night and a relatively warm sunny day. The first thunderstorm is an atmospheric phenomenon when electrical discharges - lightning - occur between a cloud and the earth's surface, which are accompanied by thunder. Snow melting The babbling of brooks Drops - melting snow falling from roofs, from trees in drops, as well as these drops themselves.

Flowering of early flowering plants (bushes, trees, flowers) The appearance of insects Arrival of migratory birds Sap flow in plants is the movement of water and minerals dissolved in it from the root system to the above-ground part. Budding Emergence of a flower from a bud Emergence of foliage Birdsong Birth of baby animals Bears and hedgehogs wake up after hibernation Molting in animals - changing the winter coat to thorns

Summer natural phenomena

Summer natural phenomena in inanimate nature

Summer natural phenomena in wildlife

A thunderstorm is an atmospheric phenomenon when electrical discharges - lightning - occur between a cloud and the earth's surface, which are accompanied by thunder. Lightning is a giant electrical spark discharge in the atmosphere that can usually occur during a thunderstorm, resulting in a bright flash of light and accompanying thunder. Lightning - instant flashes of light on the horizon during a distant thunderstorm. This phenomenon is observed, as a rule, at night. At the same time, thunderclaps are not heard due to the distance, but flashes of lightning are visible, the light of which is reflected from cumulonimbus clouds (mainly their tops). The phenomenon was popularly timed to coincide with the end of summer, the beginning of the harvest, and is sometimes called bakers. Thunder is a sound phenomenon in the atmosphere that accompanies a lightning strike. Hail is a type of rainfall consisting of pieces of ice. A rainbow is one of the most beautiful natural phenomena, resulting from the refraction of sunlight in water droplets suspended in the air. Shower - heavy (heavy) rain. Heat is a state of the atmosphere characterized by hot air heated by the sun's rays. Dew is small drops of moisture that settle on plants or soil when the morning coolness sets in. Summer warm rains

The grass is turning green Flowers are blooming Mushrooms and berries grow in the forest

Autumn natural phenomena

Autumn phenomena in inanimate nature

Autumn phenomena in wildlife

Wind is a flow of air moving parallel to the earth's surface. Fog is a cloud that “descends” to the surface of the earth. Rain is a type of precipitation that falls from clouds in the form of liquid droplets, the diameter of which varies from 0.5 to 5-7 mm. Slush is liquid mud formed from rain and sleet in wet weather. Frost is a thin layer of ice that covers the surface of the earth and other objects located on it at sub-zero temperatures. Frost – light frost in the range of 1 to 3 degrees Celsius. Autumn ice drift is the movement of ice on rivers and lakes under the influence of currents or wind at the beginning of freezing of reservoirs.

Leaf fall is the process of leaves falling from trees. Migration of birds to the south

Unusual natural phenomena

What natural phenomena still exist? In addition to the seasonal natural phenomena described above, there are several more that are not associated with any time of year.

• Flood called a short-term sudden rise in water level in a river. This sharp rise may be a consequence of heavy rains, the melting of large amounts of snow, the release of an impressive volume of water from the reservoir, or the collapse of glaciers.
• Northern lights- glow of the upper layers of the atmospheres of planets with a magnetosphere due to their interaction with charged particles of the solar wind.
• Ball lightning- a rare natural phenomenon that looks like a luminous formation floating in the air.
• Mirage- an optical phenomenon in the atmosphere: refraction of light streams at the boundary between layers of air that are sharply different in density and temperature.
• « Falling star" - an atmospheric phenomenon that occurs when meteoroids enter the Earth's atmosphere
• Hurricane- extremely fast and strong air movement, often of great destructive power and considerable duration
• Tornado- an ascending vortex of extremely quickly rotating air in the form of a funnel of enormous destructive power, in which moisture, sand and other suspended matter are present.
• Ebbs and flows- These are changes in the water level of the sea elements and the World Ocean.
• Tsunami- long and high waves generated by a powerful impact on the entire thickness of water in the ocean or other body of water.
• Earthquake- represent tremors and vibrations of the earth's surface. The most dangerous of them arise due to tectonic displacements and ruptures in the earth's crust or upper mantle of the Earth
• Tornado- an atmospheric vortex that arises in a cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) cloud and spreads down, often to the very surface of the earth, in the form of a cloud arm or trunk with a diameter of tens and hundreds of meters
• Eruption- the process of a volcano throwing hot debris, ash onto the earth's surface, an outpouring of magma, which, pouring onto the surface, becomes lava.
• Floods- flooding of land with water, which is a natural disaster.
