What is space for children story. Space educational material for senior children

April 12 is celebrated in our country Cosmonautics Day... On this day in 1961, our planet was shocked by an unexpected message: "A man in space!" People's dream of flying into space has come true. On April morning, on the Vostok-1 spacecraft, the first cosmonaut, Yuri Alekseevich Gagarin, flew into space. The flight around the Earth lasted 108 minutes.

The starry sky has always attracted the eyes of people, attracted with its unknown. People dreamed of learning as much as possible about space. This is how the time of space rockets, satellites, moon rovers began ..

Let's tell the kids about space and astronauts so they have an idea

It is good if parents read books about space with their children, show pictures, look at the globe of the starry sky. You can play games on a space theme with children, read and learn poems about space, guess interesting

Teaching children about space

Planets and stars

Our Earth is a huge sphere with seas, rivers, mountains, deserts and forests. And also people live. Our Earth and everything that surrounds it is called the Universe, or space. In addition to our blue planet, there are others, as well as stars. The stars are huge balls of light. - also a star. It is located close to the Earth, so we see it and feel its warmth.

We see stars only at night, and during the day the Sun eclipses them. There are stars even larger than the Sun

In addition to the Earth, there are 8 more planets in the solar system, each planet has its own path, which is called an orbit.

Remember the planets:

All planets in order

Any of us will call:

One is Mercury,

Two is Venus,

Three is the Earth,

Four - Mars.

Five is Jupiter

Six - Saturn,

Seven - Uranus,

Behind him is Neptune.

He is eighth in a row.

And after him already, then,

And the ninth planet

Called Pluto.

Jupiter is the largest planet. If you imagine it in the form of a watermelon, then in comparison with it, Pluto will look like a pea.

So that the children can better remember all the planets, read the poem, let them remember it. You can sculpt planets from plasticine, draw them, you can cut them out of paper and attach them to a lamp at home, for example.

Our space crafts from plasticine can be viewed

For children about space

Astronomers

Scientists who observe and study the stars are called astronomers.

Previously, people did not know anything about space, about the stars and believed that the sky is a cap that covers the Earth, and the stars are attached to it. Ancient people thought that the Earth was motionless, and the Sun and Moon revolved around it.

Many years later, the astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus proved that the Earth and other planets revolve around the Sun. Newton understood why the planets revolve around the sun and do not fall. They all fly around the sun on their own path.

So scientists discovered the secrets of space. In the Middle Ages, a telescope was invented with which scientists observed the stars.

There are still many mysteries in space, so astronomers have enough work for a long time.

Astronaut animals

To find out what a person will have to face in space, scientists sent animals for "reconnaissance". They were dogs, rabbits, mice, even microbes.

Dogs are smarter animals than mice, but not all dogs were suitable for the test. Pedigree dogs are very gentle, they were not suitable for space. The dogs were selected by size, trained with them, taught them to noise, shaking. The most common mongrels approached.

The first dog, Laika, was sent into space in 1957. She was watched, but she did not return to Earth.

Then Belka and Strelka flew into space. In 1960, on August 19, they were launched into space on the Vostok spacecraft prototype. They stayed in space for more than a day and returned safely.

So scientists proved that space flight is possible.

About astronauts for children

An astronaut is a person who experiences space technology and works in space. Now there are astronauts in many countries.

The first cosmonaut was Yuri Alekseevich Gagarin. On April 12, 1961, he flew into space on the Vostok-1 spacecraft and circled the Earth in 1 hour and 48 minutes. I came back safe and sound.

Yuri Gagarin was born on March 9, 1934 in the village of Klushino, Gzhatsky District, Smolensk Region, in an ordinary collective farmer's family. Grew up as an ordinary child. In his youth, he was fond of classes in the flying club. After college he became a pilot. In 1959 he was enrolled in the group of astronaut candidates. And for his first flight into space he was awarded the title of Hero Soviet Union and was awarded the Order of Lenin.

Yuri Gagarin will always remain in our memory as the first cosmonaut. Cities, streets, avenues are named after him. There is a crater on the moon named after him, as well as a minor planet.

Astronauts are courageous people, they train a lot, they must know a lot and be able to fly a spaceship.

The first spacewalk was performed by Alexei Leonov in 1965. And the first woman-astronaut was Valentina Tereshkova, who flew into space in 1963. She withstood 48 revolutions around the Earth, spent almost three days in space, took photographs that were used to study the aerosol layers of the atmosphere.

To fly into space, you need to study hard and well, to be self-possessed, patient, enduring.

moon

Children always look at the moon in the sky with interest. It is so different: it is in the form of a crescent, then it is large, round.

The child will be interested to know what is on the moon. It can be said that the Moon is covered with crater craters that arise from collisions with asteroids. If you look at the moon with binoculars, you can see the unevenness of its relief.

Stargazing with kids

With kids need to be watched starry sky... Do not be lazy in the evening to go out and admire the stars. Show your child some constellations, try to find the Big Dipper together. Tell us that the ancient people gazed into the night sky, mentally connected the stars, drew animals, people, objects, mythological heroes. Find a map of the starry sky and show your kid what the constellations look like, and then together find them in the sky. This develops observation, memory.

In general, it would be great to take your child to the planetarium if you have one in the city. The child learns a lot of interesting things from the story about the stars, planets.

We do not have a planetarium in the city, it is only necessary to go to another city.

Space theme contains a lot of ideas for drawings, crafts. You can draw, sculpt astronauts, aliens, the moon. Come up with new names for stars and planets. in general, show your imagination, the theme of space is limitless and interesting for children.

Here are Yulina's drawings on a space theme.

Games on the theme "Space" for children

You can play games with children. Here are some games you can play.

Game "What will we take with us into space".

Lay out the drawings in front of the children and offer to choose what you can take with you to spaceship... It can be the following pictures-pictures: a book, a notebook, a spacesuit, an apple, a candy, a tube of semolina, an alarm clock, a sausage.

Game "Space vocabulary" help children replenish their vocabulary words related to the theme of space. You can play for several children and arrange a competition, who will name the most words related to space. For example: satellite, rocket, alien, planets, moon, earth, astronaut, space suit, etc.

Game "Say the opposite".

Teach children to choose words with the opposite meaning. Julia and I played these games, she was good at naming antonyms correctly.

Distant - ...

close - ...

big -…

get up -…

fly away - ...

high -…

known -…

include -…

dark - ...

Tell your children about space, astronauts, learn the names of the planets, look at the starry sky. Let the child grow up curious, and suddenly he too will later become a scientist or an astronaut and you will be proud of him.

Each of us has heard more than once that space is something outside our planet, it is the Universe. In general, space is a space that stretches endlessly in all directions, including galaxies and stars, and planets, cosmic dust and other objects. There is an opinion that there are other planets or even entire galaxies that are also inhabited by intelligent people.

A bit of history

The middle of the 20th century was remembered by many for the space race, from which the USSR emerged victorious. In 1957, an artificial satellite was first created and launched, and a little later the first living creature also visited space.

Two years later, an artificial satellite of the Sun went into orbit, and a station called "Luna-2" was able to be on the surface of the Moon. The legendary Belka and Strelka visited space only in 1960, and a year later a man also visited it.

1962 was remembered for the group flight of ships, and 1963 for the first time a woman was in orbit. Open space the person managed to achieve it two years later.

Each of the subsequent years of our history was marked by events related to

Station international importance was organized in space only in 1998. It was the launch of satellites, and the organization and numerous flights of people from other countries.

What is he

The scientific point of view says that the cosmos are certain parts of the universe that surround themselves and their atmosphere. However, it cannot be called completely empty. It has been proven to contain some hydrogen and has interstellar matter. Scientists have also confirmed the existence of electromagnetic radiation within it.

Now science is not aware of data on the finite limits of space. Astrophysicists and radio astronomers argue that instruments are unable to "see" the entire cosmos. This despite the fact that their workspace spans 15 billion

Scientific hypotheses do not deny the possible existence of universes like ours, but there is no confirmation of this either. In general, space is the universe, it is the world. It is characterized by orderliness and materialization.

Study process

Animals were the first in space. People were afraid, but wanted to explore unknown spaces, so dogs, pigs and monkeys were used as pioneers. Some of them came back, some didn't.

Now people are actively exploring outer space. It has been proven that weightlessness adversely affects human health. It prevents fluids from moving in right directions, which contributes to the loss of calcium in the body. Also, in space, people become somewhat plump, there are problems with the intestines and a blockage in the nose.

In outer space, almost every person gets sick with "space sickness". Its main symptoms are nausea, dizziness, headache... Hearing problems are a consequence of this disease.

Space is the space in whose orbits one can observe the sunrise about 16 times a day. This, in turn, negatively affects biorhythms, prevents normal falling asleep.

Interestingly, mastering the toilet bowl in space is a whole science. Before this action starts to work out to perfection, all the astronauts train on the mock-up. The technique is practiced for a certain period of time. Scientists tried to organize a mini-toilet directly in the spacesuit itself, but this did not work out. Instead, they began to use ordinary diapers.

Every astronaut, after returning home, wonders for some time why objects fall down.

Not many people know why the first food products in space were presented in tubes or briquettes. In fact, swallowing food in outer space is quite difficult task... Therefore, food was previously dehydrated to make this process more affordable.

Interestingly, people who snore in space do not encounter this process. An exact explanation of this fact is still difficult to give.

Death in space

Women who have artificially enlarged their breasts will never be able to experience space. The explanation is simple - implants can explode. Unfortunately, the same fate can befall the lungs of any person if he finds himself in space without a spacesuit. This will happen due to decompression. The mucous membranes of the mouth, nose and eyes will simply boil.

Space in ancient philosophy

Space is a kind of structural concept in philosophy that is used to designate the world as a whole. Heraclitus applied the definition as a "peacebuilder" more than 500 years ago BC. This was also supported by the pre-Socratics - Parmenides, Democritus, Anaxagoras and Empedocles.

Plato and Aristotle tried to show the cosmos as an extremely complete being, an innocent being, an aesthetic whole. The perception of outer space was based largely on the mythology of the ancient Greeks.

In his work "On Heaven" Aristotle tries to compare these two concepts, to identify similarities and differences. In Plato's Timaeus dialogue, a fine line is traced between the cosmos itself and its founder. The philosopher argued that the cosmos arose consistently from matter and ideas, and the creator put his soul into it, divided it into elements.

The result was space as a living being with a mind. He is one and beautiful, includes the soul and body of the world.

Space in philosophy of the 19-20th centuries

The industrial revolution of modern times completely distorted the previous versions of the perception of outer space. A new "mythology" was taken as a basis.

At the turn of the century, a philosophical trend such as Cubism emerged. He largely embodied the laws, formulas, logical constructions and idealizations of Greek Orthodox ideas, which, in turn, borrowed them from ancient philosophers. Cubism is a good attempt to get to know a person himself, the world, his place in the world, his vocation, to determine the basic values.

He did not go far from the ancient ideas, but changed their root. Now space is in philosophy something with design features, which were based on the principles of Orthodox personalism. Something historical and evolutionary. Outer space can change for the better. The biblical traditions were taken as a basis.

In the minds of the philosophers of the 19-20s, the cosmos unites art and religion, physics and metaphysics, knowledge about the surrounding world and human nature.

conclusions

Can be done logical conclusion that space is that space, which is a single whole. Philosophical and scientific ideas about him are of the same nature, the only exceptions are ancient times. The topic "space" has always been in demand and enjoyed a healthy curiosity among people.

Now the universe is fraught with many more mysteries and secrets that you and I just have to unravel. Each person who finds himself in space, discovers something new and unusual for himself and for all mankind, acquaints everyone with his sensations.

Outer space is a collection of various matters or objects. Some of them are closely studied by scientists, while the nature of others is generally incomprehensible.

Well, have you gone to explore space?

I have collected here a lot of educational and creative assignments from various resources, in which the kid could show his artistic qualities, study a little celestial objects and train his hand to write. All pictures are ready for printing - download and play!

Hello everybody!

Highly interesting selection space facts for kids.

Where did the universe come from?

The universe is so big that we don't even know if it has boundaries. It originated about 13.7 billion years ago when the Big Bang happened. At that moment, everything appeared: the matter from which the stars and planets are made, the forces of interaction between the particles of matter, even time and space were born in the process Big bang... Why this happened, people still cannot explain.

Time passed. The universe expanded in all directions and finally began to take shape. Tiny particles were born from the vortices of energy. Hundreds of thousands of years later, they have merged and turned into atoms - "bricks" from which everything that we see is composed. At the same time, light appeared, which began to move freely in space.

solar system

There are eight planets in our solar system, and they all revolve around the sun in the same direction. The force of attraction of the huge Sun, like an invisible rope, holds the planets, not allowing them to escape and fly into space. The first four planets - if we count in order from the Sun - are composed of rocks and are close enough to the star. They are called terrestrial planets. You can walk on the solid surface of these planets. The other four planets are entirely composed of gases. If you stand on their surface, you can fall through and fly through the entire planet. These four gas giant much more terrestrial planets, and they are located very far from each other.

For a long time, it was believed that the most distant planet in our solar system is Pluto, which is located beyond Neptune in an area called the Kuiper Belt. But not so long ago, scientists decided that Pluto still cannot be considered a planet, because in the Kuiper belt there are other celestial bodies of the same size and even larger (for example, Eris is a planetoid, discovered in 2005).

If the Earth were a cherry tomato, what size would the rest of the planets be? If we were holding the Earth - a cherry tomato - in our hands, then the Sun would be at a distance of 500 meters from us and would have a diameter of only 4.5 meters.

Milky Way

All the stars that are visible to us from Earth are part of large groups - galaxies, similar to giant cosmic whirlpools. Our galaxy is called the Milky Way, or simply the Galaxy, and its shape resembles a revolving fireworks display. There are as many stars in it as a person cannot count in his entire life. Our Galaxy is constantly rotating, only very slowly: it takes as much as 225 million years to complete a revolution. The Milky Way can be seen with your own eyes. To do this, you need to go to nature, away from city lights, and look at the sky. A milky white streak of light will be visible there. This is the Milky Way.

First walk on the moon

On July 21, 1969, astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were the first humans to walk on the moon. They were wearing spacesuits, the multilayer coating of which protected from the cold and cosmic radiation, and air cylinders, which made it possible to breathe in a vacuum. The suits were personal, and you could walk in them for up to 115 hours. It is very difficult to wear such spacesuits on Earth, but on the Moon they are almost weightless.

Sun and earth

Every day we see the sun passing through the sky, but this is an optical illusion. In fact, the Sun stands still, and the Earth revolves around it and around its own axis. During the day, the Earth makes a complete revolution around its axis, exposing the Sun to different sides. That is why it seems to us that the sun rises and sets. It is like circling around a bright lamp: it seems that it appears and disappears.

Today, in the days of space rockets, satellites and moon rovers, we have a lot to tell our children. However, the scale of the Universe is difficult to imagine even for an adult. It remains to figure out how interesting it is about space and to acquaint him with the basics of astronomy.

How to tell

Given the features childhood, it is very important to make the story simple and effective. For this, you can use visual experiments. We describe examples of such experiments below. So, it will be much easier for the child to get acquainted with thematic concepts that are not easy for him.

Today, parents are offered a large number of thematic materials that can also be used in their story.

Children preschool age perfectly assimilate information presented in a playful way, in the form of a fairy tale or a poem.


And if you manage to enchant the child's imagination, perhaps the child will not only be interested in astronomy, but also love this science.

When telling your child about space for the first time, think about what may be, as an adult, looking at the stars, he will remember your activities and smile.


What to tell


Introduction

Look at the sky. It seems that it is very close - reach out and touch the sun or moon, but if you climb the top of a tall tree, you will find yourself next to them altogether. But actually it is not. Neither we can reach the sky with our hand, nor the trees with our tops. The sun, moon and stars are very far from us. These are large planets that you need to fly to in a spaceship.

There are 8 planets in the solar system. They all revolve around the Sun, and constantly along the same path, which is called the orbit. And one of these planets is our Earth.

The sun


What to tell:

The sun is a large and very hot star - a huge, incandescent ball. It is very far away, but the heat from its rays reaches all the planets circling around it, and ours too. That is why it is warm here.

Not all stars are like the sun. There are small stars, medium and huge ones - larger than the Sun.


The brightest of all the stars in the sky are the Pole Star and Sirius. The sun is much larger than our planet. If you compare them, then it is like a watermelon and a small pea.

Visual material:

To compare the size of the Sun with the size of the Earth, you can take a pumpkin or a watermelon and a pea. A pea is our Earth, a pumpkin is the Sun.

The earth is as much smaller than the sun as a pea is smaller than a pumpkin.


What to tell:

The moon is a satellite of our planet, it is only three days away. The moon moves counterclockwise around the earth.

We only see the moon at night. The moon, as we see it in the sky, is not always the same shape. There are the following phases: new moon, crescent moon of the waxing moon, the first quarter of the waxing moon, waxing moon, full moon and then decreasing: the waning moon, quarter of the waning moon, crescent of the waning moon, new moon again.

If the sickle in the sky looks like the letter C, then the moon is "old", waning. If we visually draw a stick and get the letter P, then the moon is growing.


These phases can be depicted for a child on paper or by cutting them out of colored cardboard.

Visual material:

To demonstrate why the moon is sometimes round, sometimes crescent-shaped, take the regular desk lamp and the ball. Experiment together by creating a moon at home. Show your child that we can only see the illuminated part of the ball.


Earth


What to tell:

Our planet is surrounded by an atmosphere. It's such protective layer, which saves inhabitants from solar ultraviolet radiation, as well as from most meteorites. It can be compared to an airy blanket. It is thanks to him that there is air on our planet that we breathe.

The most important difference between the Earth and others is the presence of life on it.

It is believed that the rest of the space is lifeless. The belief and desire of people to find life on other planets compels us to design spaceships for travel to space in order to study it.

Visual material:

You can boil egg and on his example, what is the atmosphere of the Earth. Our planet is surrounded by a multi-layered atmosphere, just as in an egg the yolk is surrounded by protein.


Other planets of the solar system


What to tell:

There are only 8 planets in the solar system. The largest of these is Jupiter. And the most interesting is Saturn, because it has huge rings around it.

Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune also have rings, but they cannot be seen from Earth.

Pluto was one of the last to be discovered. It was discovered in 1930. At first it was considered the ninth planet. But over time, they were attributed to another category of cosmic bodies - "dwarf planets".

The planet is considered to be space bodies that:

  • revolve around some star (in the case of the solar system, this is the sun);
  • have their own gravity, which explains their spherical (round) or close to spherical shape;
  • are not near other similar large bodies;
  • are not stars.

Visual material:

To memorize the names of all the planets in the solar system, you can learn a little rhyme:

All planets in order
Any of us will call:
One is Mercury,
Two is Venus,
Three is the Earth,
Four - Mars.
Five is Jupiter
Six - Saturn,
Seven - Uranus,
Behind him is Neptune.
He is eighth in a row.
And after him already, then,
And the ninth planet
Called Pluto.


Stars


What to tell:

The closest star to us is the Sun. There are countless stars in space. Any star is an incandescent ball of gas formed from hydrogen molecules fused together.

A cluster of stars forms constellations.


Visual material:

Use a flashlight or phosphor stars to explain why the sun is shining so brightly. With the lights off, bring them close to your baby so that he can see how brightly they burn.

Then slowly move to the end of the room, demonstrating that the luminous objects, moving away, become small and faded. Explain that the stars only appear small because they are so far away from us.

Telescopes help us to get a closer look, which bring images of stars closer and allow us to better see them.

How the rocket flies


What to tell:

On April 12, our country celebrates Cosmonautics Day. On this day in 1961, people's dream of flying into space came true - the first cosmonaut in history, Yuri Alekseevich Gagarin, flew into space on the Vostok-1 spacecraft. Its flight around the Earth lasted 108 minutes. Since then, every year we celebrate Cosmonautics Day on this day.

Visual material:

Inflate the balloon and pinch the hole with your fingers. And then unclench your fingers and your ball will suddenly burst upward. This is because air is exiting the balloon. And when the air runs out, the ball will fall.

The balloon flew like a rocket - it moved forward as long as there was air in it. Approximately according to this principle, the rocket flies into space, only instead of air it has fuel. When burning, the fuel turns into gas and is blown back in a flame.


The rocket is made of several parts, which are called stages, and each stage has its own fuel tank.

In the first stage, the fuel has run out - it disappears, and the second stage engine immediately turns on and carries the rocket even faster and even higher. Thus, only the third stage reaches space - the smallest and easiest one. She also puts a cabin with an astronaut into orbit.

5 related games

1. The game "What will we take with us into space"

Lay out the drawings in front of the child and offer to choose what you can take with you on the spaceship.

It can be the following pictures-pictures: a book, a notebook, a spacesuit, an apple, a candy, a tube of semolina, an alarm clock, a sausage.

2. Game "Space vocabulary"

The game will help the child expand his vocabulary with words related to the topic of space.

Whoever calls more words related to space won.

For example: satellite, rocket, alien, planets, moon, earth, astronaut, space suit, etc.


3. The game "Say the opposite"

The goal of the game is to teach the child to choose words with the opposite meaning - antonyms.

For example:
distant - ...
close - ...
big -…
get up -…
bright -…
fly away - ...
high -…
known -…
include -…
dark - ...

4. The game "Orienting by the stars"

Imagine with your child that you are sailors lost in Pacific... Ask your child to cut out small stars out of paper and help glue them on the back of the countertop so that you get the constellations Ursa Minor and Ursa Major.

Cover the table with a blanket - this will be your ship, take a flashlight and climb in there. It is night now, the only compass has sunk, and all you see are stars above your heads (you can illuminate them with a flashlight).


Show your child how to use the stars to find their way.

Try together, looking at the stars, to determine which way to sail if you are heading east.

5. The game "Space stones"

Each kitchen has a baking foil. Such material can easily turn into space balls-stones.

Scatter them in prominent places so that the child can then collect these space stones. Then they can be thrown at a target or simply at a bowl, training accuracy.
