Prepared by: Elena Viktorovna Usova
teacher of the highest qualification category
Goal: Consolidate knowledge about the basic needs of indoor plants.
1. Develop an interest in indoor plants.
2. Strengthen the skills of caring for indoor plants
3. To instill in children an interest in plants, a desire to observe and carefully care for them
Materials: aprons, rags, watering cans, a basin of water, card diagrams for caring for plants, several balsam sprouts planted in pots.
Preliminary work: conversation about indoor plants; reading poems and riddles about plants; looking at indoor plants; working together to care for plants; work according to the schemes “Plant needs”, “Watering indoor plants”.
Educator: Guys, guess the riddle:
The windows are green,
(Children guess that these are plants).
2. Conversation about indoor plants:
Educator: Guys, it’s spring outside, and at this time all living things are awakening from sleep. Tell me, why can we say about plants that they are alive? What are the signs of a living thing? (because plants grow, reproduce, breathe, eat, die).
Educator: Correct. Plants also absorb bad air, make us happy and calm, decorate our home, move, turning towards the sun. Educator: Tell me, what are the names of the plants that grow in pots in the room?
Educator: Correct. Plants are all different and they have different names. (I show and name some flowers).
Educator: Name the flowers that grow in our group. (zonal geranium, Uzambara violet, balsam, chlorophytum, coleus, Decembrist (zygocactus).
Educator: We told you that all plants are living. And since they are alive, they cannot be ignored. In order for them to grow and bloom, they need to be looked after.
Educator: What does it mean to care for flowers? (children's answers)
Educator: Yes. First, the plant must be planted in the ground, then water it with water, loosen the soil, and also, every flower definitely needs light and warmth.
Educator: It turns out that you know a lot about how to care for plants that live in houses next to each other.
The flower was sleeping and suddenly woke up, (torso to the right, to the left.)
I didn’t want to sleep anymore, (torso forward, backward.)
He moved, stretched, (Hands up, stretch.)
He soared up and flew. (Hands up, right, left.)
The sun will just wake up in the morning,
The butterfly circles and curls. (Spin around.)
Educator (shows table-drawings of caring for indoor plants): Guys, try to guess from these tables which of the works on caring for our flowers are depicted here. (Water, spray, loosen, remove dust from leaves)
Educator: Guys, you and I drink water whenever we want. Animals too. How do we know if our plants are thirsty? We decided to water them, but maybe they don’t need water at all now? (children's answers)
(If children find it difficult, then leading questions are asked)
Educator: That's right, well done! Plants should be watered when the soil is dry to the touch and the leaves are limp.
Educator: Do we have such a plant in our group? (No). And here it is (indoor balsam is placed on the table in a state of wilting). Compare these two balsams: how are they different? Why? They didn’t forget to water it, but deliberately didn’t water it for several days so that you could see what would happen to the flower if it wasn’t watered. Impatiens love moisture very much. They need a lot of water. In summer, the soil in the pot should always be moist. In winter, excess moisture should not be allowed, as the plant will rot. Remember: no plant should be allowed to wilt; it will make it very sick.
Educator: Guys, who wants to try to water our wet Vanka or Impatiens - that’s what people call him?
(The child takes a watering can and waters the flowers from above.)
Educator: Guys, was the flower watered correctly? (answers). No, you can’t water flowers like that. It is necessary to water carefully, in a thin stream, press the spout of the watering can to the edge of the pot, and do not pour water on the leaves. Like this (showing how to water flowers). Also, the water should be settled and at room temperature.
Educator: Children, tell me, why should the water be poured in a thin stream and not directly at the root? (Children's answers)
Educator: If you water with a strong stream, the soil of the pot will be washed onto the table and there will be dirt. And most importantly, with a strong stream you can expose the roots of the flower and they will dry out.
Educator: Now look at your plants (everyone has one pot with a balsam sprout on the table). Do they need to be watered? Why do you think so? (the soil in the flower is dry and light)
Educator: That's right, if the soil is light, dry to the touch, even sometimes in cracks, then it needs to be watered.
3. Practical work on watering; as it progresses, the teacher corrects the children’s actions:
Educator: We take watering cans and start watering. If you have already watered your plant, watch what happens to the water. (some people quickly pour water into the saucer, some don’t. What conclusion can be drawn? (children’s answers).
Educator: That’s right, if you pour slowly, then not so much water runs out, but if it’s all at once, then a lot).
Educator: So, how will you water the plants at home and in the group? What will you do if water leaks past? (Children's answers). Find on your tables what you will use to wipe up spilled water, wipe everything carefully, rinse the cloth in a bowl of water (children clean up the tables, put the plants in the place indicated by the teacher, wash their hands).
Educator: Are you satisfied with your work? What can you teach your mother or anyone else at home today? (Children's answers) How do you know if your plants need to be watered? What kind of water should I take?
Card file for observing indoor plants, junior age
Card 29"Introduction to Balsam"
Target:
Continue to teach children to describe plants, while distinguishing the differences and similarities between them and the most characteristic features of their appearance. Teach description according to the plan suggested by the teacher. Strengthen children's knowledge of plant names.
Introduce them to a new plant - balsam, give it its common name “light”.
Explain the name of the plant. Maintain and strengthen children's interest in indoor plants and observing them.
Progress:
Children sit on chairs.
Educator - Guys, Mishka came to visit us. He says he knows nothing at all about houseplants. Let's tell him a little (children: “come on”). Bear, sit down more comfortably and listen carefully.
Educator - Look and tell me what’s on my table? (children's answers).
— What are these indoor plants called? (children's answers), for example (geranium, ficus). What are their leaves in shape, size, color, surface? Do plants have flowers?
What are they and how many are there? (children's answers).
Educator - Guys, look carefully and tell me what kind of indoor plant I am holding in my hands? That's right, it's a ficus, let's look at it.
Teacher - What size is it? (children’s answer: “big, like a tree”), answering the teacher’s questions, the children establish that the stem of this plant is straight, tall, the leaves are large, oval in shape, dark green.
Educator - What else can you say about the sheet? (offering to touch the leaf)
- What does it feel like? (children's answers: smooth, shiny).
After this, they summarize: what everyone said about the plants, how you can characterize the plant as a whole.
The teacher invites the children to also talk about other plants, compare them with each other in size, shape and color of leaves and other characteristics.
Teacher - Well done, guys! You see, Mishka, how much the guys know.
Mishka - Yes, well done! Thanks to you guys, I learned a lot about plants. How do they differ from each other, what kind of leaves do they have, what color. I used to think that all plants are the same, but it turns out that this is not true at all.
Teacher - Guys, I have a surprise for you. I brought you a new houseplant, would you like to meet it? (the children's answer is, of course, N E T). Are you Mishka?
Educator - Then watch and listen carefully. OK? I am holding in my hands a new plant called “Balsamin”, but people simply call it “Ogonyok”.
Teddy bear laughs at the name "light"
Educator - Yes, Mishka, don’t laugh, this flower is called “Ogonyok”. Do you want to know why? (children's answers). Because it has a lot of small red flowers.
Bear - Well, now it’s clear.
Educator - Guys, look at the flower and tell us about it the same way you talked about other plants. (Children examine the “light” and describe it.)
Educator - Do you like it, “light”? He will remain in our group. What place will we find for it? (children's answers).
That's right, the “light” will grow well where there is a lot of light and sun. Now let’s compare the “light” and another plant – a friendly family. Are they similar? How are they similar? What kind of leaves do they have? (children's answers).
By asking questions, the teacher encourages children to characterize each plant as a whole, and comparing it with others makes it possible to clarify the characteristics characteristic of each plant. At the end of the lesson there is a didactic game.
Educator - Now we will play with you. Want to? (children’s answer:….)
One of the children “drives”, and the other children hide some plant.
The child, turning around, must guess which plant was removed. At the end of the lesson, the teacher evaluates the children’s knowledge, and the children put small plants in their places.
Educator - Well, Mishka, the guys and I told you about indoor plants. Did you like it?
Bear - YES! Thank you very much guys. Now, I can tell my friends a lot about indoor plants.
