Conversation “The Desert and its inhabitants”
Target: To form a holistic idea of children about the desert.
Tasks:
Continue to form children’s ecological ideas about the diversity of nature, the desert and its inhabitants;
Summarize children’s ideas about the relationship of natural conditions with the life of plants and animals;
Learn to answer questions using complex sentences in speech;
Exercise in the ability to distinguish and name representatives of the animal and plant world of the desert;

To foster a caring attitude towards nature through developing in children an understanding of the interconnection and interdependence of all objects and phenomena in nature.
Preliminary work:getting to know the diversity of nature, flora and fauna of the desert, talking with children about the desert, looking at lustrations about the flora and fauna of the desert.
Material: desert layout, illustrations of desert animals and plants, Lesovichok, Animal Lotto game, letter.
Progress of the conversation.
Children, someone is knocking on our door, who could it be?
This is our old friend Lesovichok. He brought us a letter that he recently received. Shall we read it? “Hello, my friend Lesovichok! The guardian of the great sandstone desert writes to you. I invite you to visit me in the desert. Come quickly." Lesovichok invites us to go on a journey with him. Do you want to go to the desert? Then close your eyes and listen to me:
Garden path They are going to the nomad camp
Covered with sand. To the music of calls.
But it’s bad if there are a lot of lying trees
There is sand all around. Growing among the sands.
Here is the yellow page - Leafless Branches
Desert country. Bent it to the dry ground
The sand swirls around it, tenacious and prickly.
It rushes like a wave. Saxaul bush.
No one knows where, And the wind carries the clouds
It's unknown where the Hot Sand is going.
Camels run along it, flying sand goes
Steppe trains. To attack like troops...
So we arrived in the desert. We open our eyes.
We approach the desert model with the children.
What word do you think the word “desert” is derived from? - I think that the word “desert” is derived from the word “empty.”
Do you know why the natural area was named that way? - Deserts are areas of the earth’s surface where, due to the too dry and hot climate, only very sparse flora and fauna can exist.
What types of deserts are there? - Sandy, clayey, rocky.
The hottest desert is in Africa. Its name is sweet, but not sugar - Sahara Desert.
Where is the world's largest desert, the Sahara? – The world's largest desert, the Sahara Desert, is located in Africa.
The desert is located in the hottest place on Earth. The sky here doesn’t know what clouds are, there’s yellow sand all around. The earth is heating up like a furnace from the sun.
What do you guys think the desert is like? – The desert is like a sea of sand.
That's right, guys, the desert is like a huge sea of sand. It seemed to have frozen. When the wind blows, dunes “run” along it instead of waves, therefore, outwardly, the desert looks like a frozen sea. When this sea calms down, its surface becomes even and smooth because the waves settle. When the wind subsides in the desert, its surface remains uneven, “agitated,” because the sand retains the shape of the waves for some time.
What is the climate like in the desert? - The climate is hot, it rarely rains, the sun shines brightly, and sometimes strong winds blow.
Do you know what a sandstorm is? – A sandstorm is when a strong wind blows and raises sand.
True, but whether it is true or not, we will check.
Conducting experiments.
Experience 1. “The Emergence of a Storm”
To conduct the experiment, divide into pairs. (They approach the tables) First, one of you will blow into the tube, and the other will observe what is happening in the glass, then you will change.
What have you learned? What did you do for this? What did you see? What can be concluded? (Children's answers)
Conclusion: strong winds raise sand, and this is how sandstorms arise.
Physical education minute.Game “We are grains of sand, we are lumps of clay”
Progress of the game. A strong wind blew and grains of sand flew in the air (the children ran freely around the group room). The wind died down and the grains of sand fell to the ground (children crouch). The wind blew on the clay and it gathered into lumps (children stand up and gather in small groups, huddling closely together). Repeat 2 – 3 times.
Yes, guys, the desert is dry, hot, it rarely rains, and the sun is hot and merciless. Do you think plants can survive in such conditions?
What plants can survive? Name them. - Cacti, camel thorn, saxaul. - We place silhouette images of plants on the desert layout.
Why do they survive in desert conditions? - They survive in desert conditions because they can store water in their stems and leaves, and they have very long roots.
I suggest checking what happens to water in the desert. (Approach the tables)
2. Experience “What happens to water in the desert”
Take a glass of water and pour it into a glass of sand. What did you see? What can be concluded? (Children's answers)
Conclusion: water seeps through the grains of sand and goes down.
If there are few plants in deserts, then what do the animals that live in the desert eat? - they feed on small rodents, insects, and the plants they find. And they also try to settle closer to the oasis.
What is an oasis? – An oasis is a place near a body of water, an island of vegetation in the desert.
What animals can we meet on the banks of the Nile in the oasis? Desert? (children name the animals and place toys on the surface of the model.)
Now guess the riddles:
No ears, no legs visible
A ball in thorns is... (Hedgehog)
Stone on legs
Crawling along the path
Shell-shirt
It's all about...(turtle).
Thorn is tastier than many dishes
She is adored by the humpbacked... (Camel).
What do you know about camel? - This is a large animal, adapted to living in deserts and steppes. There are two types of camels: the two-humped, or Bactrian, and the one-humped, or dromedary. It has long been known that the camel is a very hardy animal and can live up to 40 years. A camel can survive up to two weeks without water and about a month without food, but when it gets to water, it can drink almost 100 liters. Camel hair is considered a good cure for various diseases. In the old days, camels were intended for cargo transportation, and during wars they were used to intimidate the enemy. There are 2 types of camels: one-humped and two-humped. The camel's hump protects its back from the scorching hot sun.
A caravan of camels goes through the desert, and we return home.
We're going on a long journey,
Kuban, Pereyaslovskaya, the kindergarten is waiting for us.
It's hot in Africa, but warm at home.
Had a good time with friends.
Chorus: Africa, Africa, goodbye, Africa, Africa.
Here we are at home.
And now I invite you to play the game. There are pictures of different animals on the table. And you need to choose only the inhabitants of the desert. Start choosing.
Well done, you chose all the desert animals correctly.
Result:
What new and interesting things did you learn today about the desert, animals and plants of the desert?
The script was written for an educational children's party.
Three children (two girls and a boy) aged 5.5-6 years were present.
Room decoration
- Cardboard pyramid. Needed not so much for the script, but for the right mood
- Sphinx made of cardboard
- Egyptian figurines (carved from photographs of ancient papyri)
- Desert - a bowl of sand or semolina
- African animals (toys)
- Treats: dried fruits (dates, figs), fruits, vegetables (cucumbers, peppers), nuts, pita bread, cheese, cookies, oriental sweets.
Introductory part
Find Egypt on the map and ask what the children know about it. It is better to talk about the past by showing events on a time line. First indicate our time, then look at how long ago Ancient Egypt appeared when the Great Pyramids were built. Tell us about Nefertiti (about beauty, the details of her life are not a topic for children). Ask if the children want to meet her.
Create a time-transfer ritual. Our children remember magic words from various fairy tales, hold hands and cast a spell: “Abracadabra, we want to be transported to Ancient Egypt, to the time of Queen Nefertiti.” A magical wind blows, and we find ourselves where we need to be.
In Ancient Egypt, children dressed up in gold brocade collars and put on beads and bracelets (both men and women loved jewelry). After this, ask how to get to the queen, what needs to be done so that the guards allow visitors into the palace. Perhaps someone will offer to bring gifts or sneak through a secret passage, or the children will be confused. Tell them about oracles and how they were used in ancient times to answer an important question. The oracle at the festival (a plastic canister with a hole covered with papier-mâché) contains the answer to how to get to the palace.
Author of this and other photographsAnastasia Lipatova
Of course, the answer is written in hieroglyphs. We had the key to them in this book. But you can establish the correspondence between Russian letters and hieroglyphs yourself, by analogy with the English version.
Main part
The oracle's message reads “Collect the beads.” The presenter can explain to the children that now they need to complete the tasks of various characters who will meet on the journey and receive beads. Homemade beads, molded from clay, decorated with beads.
Bazaar. At the bazaar, the children are met by a merchant (hereinafter all the characters are cardboard figures, printed from here). He promises a bead if the children help him make silver medallions. One of the ways of making jewelry in Egypt is minting. You need to squeeze out a design on thick foil using chopsticks.
Pustyn I. The merchant says that several beads are far away in the desert. Since you can’t get there on foot, we’re looking for a camel. He should be politely asked to take the children and feed them imaginary thorns. The camel is made from a toy camel, a blanket and pillows. Children sit on horseback and move, pushing off the floor with their feet. At the signal “sandstorm!” they should all hide under the covers together and freeze.
Arriving at the place, the children see a bowl of semolina. It contains figures of desert inhabitants and three beads hidden. An additional challenge is sandworms that need to be chased away (I used the idea from this game).
Great Nile. Before you go to the river, tell us a little about the role it played in Ancient Egyptian civilization, and that it is now one of the two longest rivers in the world. A jar of beads floats in the Nile (bathtub with colored water). It is guarded by crocodiles (cut out of cardboard). Children throw coins at the crocodiles until the predators go to the bottom (cardboard gets wet and sinks quickly, so do not throw crocodiles into the water in advance). After this, take out a jar of beads.
Oasis. The presenter tells the children what an oasis is and promises to give a bead if they tell them which tree growing here the Egyptians considered the sacred tree of life. As a hint, the presenter asks questions, and the children add up the name of the tree from the first letters of the answers to them. Questions:
- Mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head of a man (Sphinx)
- Designations of words or letters among the ancient Egyptians (Hieroglyphs)
- The sacred animal that the Egyptians called “miu” (Cat)
- A place in the desert where there is a source of water and many plants (Oasis)
- "Inhabitant" of the pyramid (Mummy)
- An animal that carries people and cargo. But not a camel. (Donkey)
- Egyptian sun god (Ra)
If the children do not know the answer to any of the questions, the presenter will tell them (at our holiday only the last question caused difficulties). He can also comment on other answers, adding some details. And we need to tell about the sycamore tree, show its photograph.
Library. The children come to the scribe and he promises a bead in exchange for new papyrus scrolls. You can simply make papyrus out of paper (roll it into a tube, secure it, and cut a third to make leaves) and lay it out around the room for the children to collect first. Then you need to cut off the root (tell them that the roots are edible) and leaves, and cut the stem lengthwise. You will get several strips. They are folded, as for real papyrus, with one layer lengthwise and a second layer crosswise. The presenter says that papyrus has sticky juice and under pressure the parts are firmly connected. And at the holiday you can grease them with PVA. At the end of the holiday, children can write something on the resulting papyri.
Fields. Children come to the peasants and they ask for help making irrigation canals. There are two banks of clay in the tray, in the center there is a longitudinal depression with water, from which you need to dig channels with sticks.
Pyramid. The last few beads are in the pyramid. But the road to them is guarded by a sphinx asking riddles. Riddle: “Why did the ancient Egyptians call their country Kemet (black land).” The children received all the necessary information (about how important the Nile was, how well everything ripened in the fields fertilized with its black silt) when they dug canals. But they may need leading questions to answer the sphinx.
There are depressions on the side of the pyramid, some of which contain beads. In others it was supposed to put something unpleasant to the touch. But we chose gummy worms, which the children were delighted with.
The beads are collected. Now the children divide them among themselves, put them on a cord one by one and carry them to the palace. At the entrance they are met by a guard. He gives some task (for example, to write his name in hieroglyphs) or is content with explaining to the children who they are and where they are going.

Cognition(development of constructive activity) teach children to build a model of a desert from sand with its inhabitants.
Physical Culture. to form various types of cognitive activity in the process of motor activity.
Dictionary enrichment: oasis, tornado, saxaul, dunes.
Planned results: shows interest in new knowledge; formulates answers to the teacher’s questions regarding the content of the story, using complex sentences of various types in speech; knows the inhabitants of the desert; knows how to build a model of a desert with its inhabitants.
Material: globe; a box with low sides, sand (for a desert model); figurines of animals and desert plants; pictures depicting animals, plants and desert landscapes; transparent glass, sand, water for experiment; puzzles; musical accompaniment (the sound of rain, thunderstorm).
Preliminary work: examination of the globe, continents, geographical map: finding deserts, mountains, rivers and their designation on the map.
Preparatory work: prepare a box with low sides, fine sand.
Progress of the lesson
1. The teacher’s story about the desert (use demonstration material - pictures with images of plants and animals of the desert).
1/7 of the Earth's total landmass is occupied by deserts. Deserts are very dry areas that receive very, very little rain per year. The largest and hottest desert on the planet - the Sahara - is located in northern Africa (show on globe). Desert vegetation is poor. Plants do not form a continuous cover. They grow in bunches and sparse bushes. Between which cracked clay or dry sand is visible. There are some areas where there is no vegetation. Summer in the desert is hot, there is little precipitation, so plants grow here that can tolerate prolonged drought. Their roots go deep into the ground, because only there, in the deep layers of the soil, can they find moisture. Small leaves, characteristic of desert plants, contribute to less evaporation of water from their surface. Some plants have spines instead of leaves.
At noon it is very hot, at such a time you can easily bake an egg in hot sand.
In every hot desert, once a year there comes a time when plants suddenly bloom. This happens when rain comes, most often in the spring. If it starts to rain, then a strong, light rain would dry up on the way to the ground - it’s so hot in the desert.
Desert plants are unusual.
The cactus has a trunk as soft as a sponge, which becomes thicker and full of water after rain. It has no leaves. The cactus accumulates water in its green trunks.
Mastic tree, roots up to 30m long.
White and black saxaul - roots go deep into the ground; instead of leaves - scales.
Camel thorn and wormwood are still growing, lilies and red poppies are blooming.
The surface of the desert is hilly. Large hills of fine sand are common. These are dunes.
Tornadoes often occur in the desert. This is a huge column of sand raised by the wind. It is impossible to fight him. He sweeps away everything in his path.
The fauna of the desert is also unique. Animals are undemanding when it comes to food and water. Their color matches the color of the sun-scorched surface – yellow-gray. They have adapted to extreme heat. Many of them hide in dense, shady areas during the hot part of the day, in burrows, emerging at dusk or at night to hunt or graze.
Lizards don't drink water. They only need the fluid they get from food. Special teeth on the fingers prevent them from sinking into the sand, and they glide very quickly along the sand, thanks to “sand skis.” They live in burrows abandoned by animals, or dig themselves. For protection purposes, they use the self-mutilation reflex - they discard their tail, which grows back over time.
Turtles (approximately 20cm long) can weigh 1.5-2kg; They feed on plant foods and sometimes small insects.
The desert is inhabited by owls, snakes, scarab beetles, gazelle antelopes, toads, wild donkeys, and insects: locusts, tarantulas, scorpions, and beetles. The monitor lizard is the largest. The length of the gray monitor lizard is 1.5 m. Due to its large size, it is called the desert crocodile.
One of the most interesting animals lives in the desert - the camel. A camel is not only a vehicle. It easily passes through loose sand because its “sand shoes” are soft and wide. It feeds on bitter-salty grass, saxaul, wormwood, and camel thorn. A camel can live without water for 2-3 weeks, feeding on plants that contain water. He can lose tens of liters of water in hot weather and does not die of thirst, but only dries out and loses weight. But then, to replenish it, he drinks 13 buckets of water in 10 minutes. Water, like a sponge, is absorbed by all parts of the body. They have calluses on their knees, chests and heels. For what? In such “calloused shoes” it is very comfortable to walk on the rubble-rocky desert and soft sand, without getting stuck in it and without getting burned. Thick wool serves as true protection from heat and cold. Long legs are comfortable when walking, a long neck allows you to see danger in a timely manner, thick long eyelashes protect your eyes from dust and sand. Water and food are stored in two humps. The camel is called the “ship of the desert.” Why do you guys think? (because they transport salt, sugar, timber, cotton, grain, flour). For the desert, this is the cheapest and most convenient transport. Why? (no need for expensive fuel, various trailers carrying cargo, they are unpretentious in food).
Almost everywhere there is underground water trapped in hard rocks, but there are a few places where hard rocks - rocks - come to the surface. These places in the deserts are called oases. Plants such as date palms grow only near oases, because there their roots can reach the water. Many desert birds, such as the sand ptarmigan, and larger animals such as foxes regularly visit the oases to drink water.

"Desert". Summary of an educational lesson for children of senior preschool age
Trip to desert
Teacher Khrabrova G. A.
Target. Learn to resolve a problem situation through experimentation and modeling, see cause-and-effect relationships in nature. Develop an evaluative and critical attitude towards the surrounding reality (TRIZ). Give children an idea of desert; show how animals, plants and people are adapted to live in these harsh conditions. Arouse interest in the camel as a very specific animal. Cultivate curiosity, accuracy, and diligence. Activate speech children, enrich their vocabulary words: oasis, caravan.
Security: layout desert, image of a camel, model of a camel's leg, brown wool (long and short, river sand, pieces of cardboard, colored paper, dermantine, contours of a camel by quantity children.
Progress of the lesson.
Children, listen to what I'm going to tell you now. There lived a famous traveler in the east, his name was Ali. He had a granddaughter, Batagoz, who lived in the city. She once came to visit her grandfather, but did not warn him about her arrival. And at that time he was getting ready for a long journey to the city of Chardzhou. Ali chose a long path, because the road passed through Kara-Kum desert, along which it was necessary to travel for 10 whole days. Batagoz really wanted to go with her grandfather. She asked so much that old Ali agreed. They devoted the entire next day to preparing for the trip.
Di "Let's go on a trip" (What you need to take for traveling to desert) .
Early in the morning Ali brought 2 camels from the steppe, which each had 2 huge humps. The travelers prepared a supply of food and water and set off the next day.
Guys, why did they take so much water and food with them?
Batagoz sat on a camel between two humps. A huge world of yellow sand to the very horizon opened before her eyes. Occasionally she saw camel thorn bushes. The sun was burning so mercilessly! Grandfather and Batagoz were very tired during the day, but only at night they stopped to sleep and gain strength. At one of these stops, Batagoz said:
Grandfather, why do I, as soon as I get off the camel, immediately fall into the sand, but the camel doesn’t fall through?
Guys, why do you think the camel doesn’t fall into the sand?
Let's see how a camel's leg works.
(Children come to the table and conduct an experiment. They stick sharp sticks into the sand, and then sticks where the paralon is glued. They conclude that the camel’s leg is wide).
Grandpa said the same thing granddaughter:
Batagoz said:
Why doesn’t a camel burn its feet, because the sand is hot, and it walks barefoot?
Guys, why doesn't a camel burn its feet?
Ali said:
And because, my girl, a camel has very thick and hard skin on its leg. It resembles a callus that sometimes appears on a person. Therefore, all camels are called calloused.
Why does he have so much fur on his neck and chest? Other animals have a lot of hair on their backs.
Guys, why do you think a camel has more hair on the front of its body?
Grandpa said this Batagoz:
It eats hard branches of camel thorn and, in order to avoid being pricked, thick and long hair grows in front of it.
Grandfather, why are there no thorns visible here? There used to be more of them!
Guys, why in the center? there are fewer thorns in the desert than along its edges? So grandfather also explained, around the edges desert has more water than in the center, so even camel thorn does not grow here.
Batagoz went up to the camel and stroked it affectionately, and then asked her grandfather again question:
Why does a camel need such thick and long hair? the desert is very hot?
Guys, how do you answer this question?
And grandfather said the same thing, that thick and long hair saves the camel’s skin from burns.
They drove for a very long time, B. atagoz no longer had any strength. She was thirsty, but the water had already run out. And suddenly green trees appeared ahead. When they approached them, they saw between them a stream that flowed out of the ground. Grandfather said it was an oasis.
There they drank water and rested in the shade of the trees. There were still a few days' journey to the city. Grandfather and Batagoz were tired from traveling. The camels were tired too. Their humps fell to the side. It became uncomfortable for Batagoz to sit. She asked her grandfather why the humps became so soft.
Guys, why did the camel's humps become soft?
And the grandfather showed his granddaughter the bag in which their food lay and asked her why the bag was full at first, but now it has become small?
“We ate everything!” answered the girl.
You see, we are small, but we ate so much. And the camel was so big, and it worked so hard, carrying our things and us. He needs a lot more food. But he ate and drank almost nothing, because there were few thorns.
“So he’s carrying food in humps,” the girl guessed.
Yes,” Ali answered. Before setting off on the journey, he was well fed, and he stored food and water in reserve in his humps, and then ate them all the way. That is why he can go much longer than we can without food and water.
Grandfather Ali and Batagoz reached the city safely. Batagoz dropped to the ground and gently stroked her camel, sentencing:
Thank you, camel! How strong, reliable and brave you are! No sands are scary with you. No wonder they call you a ship desert.
Guys, did you like the story about Batagoz and her grandfather?
What would you like to travel on? desert?
Let's make a model of a camel for this. But before we get to work, we'll sing a song about desert and let's dance.
Song about desert(with movements).
IN there are no trees in the desert,
IN there is no grass in the desert.
There are only dunes around -
Sandy hills.
There are no butterflies to be seen there,
And the birds don't sing
Camel caravans
There they wander in the haze.
Chorus:.
Desert, desert-
All around is sand.
Desert, desert-
Life there is a breath of water.
We'll grow up a little
We will travel to many countries.
IN Kara-Kum desert
Our caravan will go.
And friendship and courage
Help us along the way
Camels will help us
Cross the desert.
Now, guys, go to your workplaces.
Gymnastics for fingers.
A camel walked on the sand,
He saw a thorn.
Ate, ate, ate, ate,
He saw an oasis.
Drank, drank, drank,
Our camel has gained strength.
Making a model of a camel.
1. Thick long hair on the chest and neck.
2. Thick short hair on the body.
3. Wide, hard hooves.
4. High humps.
(Children build a caravan from ready-made models).
Gymnastics for the eyes.
Guys, in the desert has a lot of sun. Do you want to play with these rays?
Ray, ray, mischievous,
Play with me! (blink their eyes).
Come on, little ray, turn around,
Show yourself to me! (circular eye movements).
I'll look to the left,
I will find a ray of sunshine.
I'll look to the right,
I will find the ray again.
I'll look into the distance with my eyes,
My little ray has escaped. It's a pity!
Summing up classes.

Our hands connected and conveyed warmth and kindness to each other. They made us friends!
(Sound of wind)
Educator: What is it? What is that sound? Suddenly it became cold.
Children: it's the wind
Educator: But this is not a simple wind, northern, cold. Guys, look at the screen, the magic lights have lit up. Let's find out what happened.
Video letter from Umka:
Educator: Guys, where do you think you can find a lot of sand?
Children: In a desert.
Educator: That's right, in the desert. To help Umka and learn as much as possible about sand, we need to go to the desert. But how do we get to the desert? (Children's answers)
Educator: I suggest you go on a trip on modern transport - the Fast Flight.
(Flight simulation).
Educator: Well, guys, we are in the desert.
Look at the vast expanses and so much sand. The wind blows strongly in the desert, it carries sand. These sandy hills are called dunes, and the wind is called a dry wind. Wind in the desert causes sandstorms.
Educator: Do you recognize this plant? How did it adapt to life in the desert?
Children: Yes, it's a cactus. The cactus has spines instead of leaves. And the root goes deep into the sands, where there is water.
Educator: Cacti survive in deserts because they store water in their stems. Instead of leaves they have sharp spines! Some cacti have very beautiful flowers. A plant grows - camel thorn, which the camel feeds on.
Educator: But in addition to plants, there are also animals and birds, insects and reptiles in the desert.
Let's walk through the hot sands of the desert and see who else lives in the desert?
Children: turtles.
Educator: Guys, where do turtles spend their time?
Children: They spend most of their time in a secluded place.
Educator: Look, guys, here are the lizards. This is the largest lizard, what do you think it's called?
Children: monitor lizard
Educator: Spiders live in the desert. And over there I see poisonous scorpions crawling along the sand. You need to walk carefully in the desert, as there are a lot of different poisonous snakes here.
Educator: What are these little animals?
Children: These are jerboas.
Educator: Where do jerboas hide from the sun?
Children: jerboas hide from the sun in sandy burrows.
Educator: But what is it? In the middle of the desert we see a green island - a lake, palm trees. This is an oasis. What is an oasis?
Children: children's answers.
(a place in the desert where there is enough water, palm trees grow there, and the land around the oasis is very fertile).
Educator: Guys, the largest desert in the world is called the Sahara. The Red Sea is located next to the Sahara. It is also called the Dead Sea because it contains a lot of salt and no one can survive there. In the Red Sea, the water is so salty that it is impossible to swim in it, and not a single object sinks.
Educator: The desert is full of dangers. One of them is called quicksand. Have you heard anything about quicksand? (children's answers).
Educator: Guys, we promised Umka to find out about the sand. To do this, we need to go to the laboratory, where we will confirm the facts about the desert. But first, let's take a little rest:
In the morning from a black cloud
It rained for an hour,
The loose sand is damp
Behind our gate.
I immediately got down to business
And he built a house with a window.
And in the morning the sun warmed up,
And my house collapsed.
Experience 1. In the desert we learned about the dry wind that creates dunes and sand storms. Let's create a sand storm too.
Take the tubes, insert them into the lids of the jars and gently blow onto the sand. What's happening? - (grains of sand scatter because they do not stick to each other).
Conclusion: sand is free-flowing.
Experience 2. We said that the Red Sea is called “dead” due to its high salt content. It is impossible to drown in a salty solution. Now we will verify this fact with the help of experiment.
Chicken eggs are placed in fresh water - the eggs begin to sink. Then add a few tablespoons of salt to the water and stir until the salt dissolves - the eggs do not sink.
Educator: Guys, look, I brought you a picture of the desert. Look, there are dunes drawn here, but, in my opinion, someone is missing here.
Educator: Who is missing in our desert?
Children: Camels, turtles, jerboas, etc. live in the desert.
Educator: Exactly! I completely forgot about them. What to do?
Children: do it yourself.
Educator: I suggest making animals for the desert with your own hands! I suggest you do it in a magical way - with colored sand!
Let's remember how to draw with sand:
1. First you need to spread glue on the surface,
2. Then carefully sprinkle sand, (pinch)
Children draw with sand. Individual assistance and supervision of the teacher.
After work, children wipe their hands with a napkin.
Educator: And now it’s time for us to return to the group. We now know a lot about sand, about the desert. Children, let's tell Umka what new you learned today.
Children list.
Umka: Well done, guys. I really liked that you know so much about sand, about the desert, so I want to give you gifts. See you again, friends!
