Summary of GCD in the middle group “Planting flowers from seeds”

Educational field: Cognitive development (experimental activities).

Integration of educational areas: “Cognition”, “Communication”, “Socialization”, “Labor”.

Types of children's activities: cognitive-research, communicative, play, work.

Target:

Development of children's ideas about the life of a plant, its reproduction, structure.

Tasks:

1. Expand children’s understanding of flowers and how to reproduce them. Give children the opportunity to put into practice their acquired knowledge about growing (reproducing) flowers.

2. Activate children’s speech activity, exercise the ability to form nouns with diminutive suffixes, construct complex sentences, and practically use the preposition U. Develop auditory attention, memory, thinking, fine motor skills, coordination of speech with movement.

3. Develop a caring attitude towards the surrounding nature, a desire to grow a plant from seeds yourself. To instill in children neatness when doing work, to teach them to put the equipment they use in order after finishing work.

Preliminary work:

Conversations about plants, looking at illustrations of flowers, reading poems about spring flowers, practical activities - planting onions, creating parcels, letters.

Equipment:

A poster depicting a variety of flowers, a “magic bag”, containers for planting seeds with soil, watering cans with water, sticks for loosening the soil, flower seeds, aprons and cups according to the number of children, oilcloth, a picture of a part of a flower, a diagram of planting seeds, items for the game “Choose what you need”, “Magic bag”.

Progress of the lesson:

(Knock on the door) - Someone's knocking, guys! Who could it be? I'll go and have a look. They sent us a letter and a parcel (the children are standing around me).

Who sent this to us? Let's find out what they write to us.

I read the letter:

“Hello, dear guys from group 8. We residents of the “Flower City” love flowers very much. There are a lot of them growing in our magical city. They are different, but all very beautiful. We know that you are hardworking guys and love flowers. And that’s why we want to give you a gift. And you will receive it if you complete our tasks."

-Do you guys want to receive a gift? Then try your best.

Growing plants with children

There is a very exciting activity with children - growing plants together. Our offer is almost impossible to refuse, because it will help you with your children...

1) have a great time; 2) learn a lot of new things from the field of botany; 3) develop observation, ability to analyze and plan; 4) develop patience and the ability to “be responsible for those you have tamed.”

So here we go.

• Sow balsam seeds
• Propagate from leaf cuttings
• Sprout begonia from tubers
• Root Cyperus
• Plant a hippeastrum bulb
• Plant mushrooms
• Grow microgreens together for the table
• Sprout cones and nuts

Sow balsam seeds >>>

Once upon a time it embodied the idea of ​​bourgeois comfort... Modern varieties of balsam are very diverse. You can grow plants of different colors, including those with double flowers. Balsam seeds germinate easily, requiring no pre-sowing treatment. Impatiens bloom already in the third or fourth month after sowing. “Extra” specimens are perfect for decorating a flower bed at the entrance, balcony or garden. In addition, “Vanka-wet” is an excellent model for studying plant physiology.

• Its stems always stretch upward. You can lay the pot on its side, and even turn it upside down (covering the soil with something to prevent it from spilling out), and then watch how the stubborn stems bend, taking a natural position.
• Using his example it is convenient to study the structure of a flower.
• If you pollinate several flowers, seeds will set and seed pods will ripen, “shooting” seeds when you touch them. Actually, this is why botanists called the species “impatiens” - Impatiens. It will be difficult to pollinate double flowers, but with simple flowers you and your child can easily find stamens and pistils. For pollination, pollen from a flower of one plant to a flower of another can be transferred with a soft, clean brush.
• If you cut two cuttings and place one in regular water and the other in tinted water, you will clearly see how the water rises up the succulent stem, staining the cells. By the way, if you make a thin enough section of the stem, the structure of the cells will be visible even without a microscope, in the light. Especially if you arm yourself with a magnifying glass.
• On the “stump” left after cutting a cutting from a plant, you can put a tube from a dropper and place a glass under it - juice will drip there, clearly showing how water is absorbed by the roots from the soil and distributed throughout the plant.

Here's how much you can do with regular balsam, if you're interested. Or you don’t have to do any of this - just enjoy with your child the lush flowering of a plant grown “with your own hands.”

Propagate from leaf cuttings

Plant a Saintpaulia leaf and watch the babies appear. It is even more interesting to propagate steptocarpus or begonia rex from leaf cuttings. If a streptocarpus leaf is cut along the central vein and planted this way (this is called the “toaster method”), “babies” will appear along the entire length of the cut.

The begonia leaf provides even more space for cuttings. Take a closer look at it. If you make cuts in the places where two veins meet, and then put the leaf in a bowl, lightly pressing it to the ground, new tiny begonias will emerge from each cut over time. If new plants are carefully separated for transplantation into a separate pot so as not to damage the leaf, then such a cutting can live for about a year, producing new children.

For a detailed master class on propagating begonias using leaf cuttings, see here >>>>

It is also interesting to cut individual triangular pieces from a leaf and root them separately. Each such fragment must have a branching vein in the middle.

At first, the pot in which the leaf cutting (or a fragment of a leaf plate) is planted will need to be covered with a jar or bag to ensure high humidity.

Sprout begonia from tubers

Showing children how sprouts and then leaves emerge from a dark brown lump without any signs of life is a great way to introduce them to the vast world of beautiful tuberous plants.

By the way, at the same time you can ask them a question: where, in their opinion, should the sprout appear, and where are the roots? (Our hint is that the sprout will appear in the hole, in the concave part).

To learn how to germinate begonia, see our detailed master class >>>>>

Root Cyperus >>>

Cyperus rosettes are rooted upside down! This ancient source of “royal paper” - papyrus - has interesting characteristics not only of reproduction, but also of growth. Once it takes root upside down, it will be fun to watch and care for.

Plant a hippeastrum bulb...>>>

The selling season for bulbs fully prepared for flowering is October-February. When you buy such a bulb, all you have to do is plant it and water it. A peduncle with delightful flowers develops within two to three weeks, depending on the condition of the bulb and the conditions available. This allows you to “predict” flowering for some holiday (New Year, March 8, Birthday). After all, a self-grown flower instead of an ordinary bouquet is impressive! However, in order for the gift to ripen on time, you will have to read about the conditions necessary for the plant and do the math. And also adhere to the pre-calculated schedule exactly. If your child is interested in botany, biology or geography, you can study with him the area of ​​origin of hippeastrum (the Amazon River basin), its structure and vegetation cycle. Hippeastrums are classified as geophytes - plants that survive unfavorable periods in the soil in the form of bulbs. From geophytes, if desired, you can move on to epiphytes, lithophytes, petrophytes... Children rarely remain indifferent to the unusual ways in which plants survive in the environment.

Plant mushrooms

The greatest delight in a child, without a doubt, will be caused by planting the mycelium of bisporus champignon. This has been verified by the author from personal experience.

The mycelium was sold in a colored bag, like ordinary flower and vegetable seeds. Inside was a handful of white grains: fungal mycelium on barley. They do not need light; they germinate for about a month at temperatures from 10 to 22ºС, the optimal temperature is 14-18ºС. The lower, the longer the wait for results. The main thing is to monitor the humidity of the substrate. We put the box in the hallway, in the closet, where our bicycles usually spend the winter at about 16ºC. For the past three weeks, the children have proudly shown each guest the only grown mushroom! Before dying of old age (after all, of course, no one allowed us to cut down a pet), our mushroom reached the size of a portobello. Now the children are looking for an answer to the question of why only one mushroom has grown.

Grow microgreens together for the table

There is nothing easier than germinating the seeds of edible crops and getting such fashionable and healthy microgreens. The only thing you need is at least some kind of moisture-retaining medium: a cotton pad, a paper towel, a hydrogel, and actually the water itself, which you don’t forget to regularly add to the container.

You can use absolutely any seeds, as long as they are not processed in any way. The best thing about this kind of entertainment is guaranteed and quick success - the first portion of green sprouts can be cut in almost a week.

Sprout cones and nuts

Have you noticed that children are inexorably drawn to collecting: they collect chestnuts in bags and for no apparent purpose, they like to pack a bag or two with various cones or acorns? You can grow a tree from nuts! Grow a pine tree from a cone too! Try, make mistakes, make new and new attempts - in the spring, after natural stratification, the chance of success is very high.

Planting vegetables for seedlings

The table below details which vegetables should be planted and at what time in Siberian conditions (recommendations from the book “Always with Vegetables in Siberia”).

Table: When are seedlings planted in Siberia:

Owners of gardens and vegetable gardens often use the lunar calendar to determine planting dates. It indicates favorable days for all garden work, in relation to lunar cycles. It is recommended to plant all bulbous crops during the waxing moon phase, and vegetable seeds are planted during the full moon.

If you are late and place the seeds in the soil a day later, trouble will not come. It is likely that germination will be slightly worse, and the seedlings will not develop under the most optimal conditions. But overall everything will be fine.

Rules for landscaping a children's room

By caring for their green spaces, a child prepares for adulthood and learns to care for all life on Earth.

Having studied biology at school, we all know that plants not only absorb carbon dioxide, but also oxygen. Therefore, landscaping in a children's room should be done in accordance with the age of the child and depending on the area of ​​the room.

Rules

1. Until the child is six months old, it is not recommended to place any plants in the room at all, since green pets put an additional burden on the baby’s immune system.
2. In the room of a six-month-old child, you can already place the first indoor flowers. You should not grow strong-smelling ones; for example, you should not decorate your room with geraniums. At this age, kids are interested in everything, so each plant should be located in the visibility zone, but out of reach, so that the child can look at the flower, but cannot “taste it for a tooth.”
3. At the age of about a year or one year and a couple of months, toddlers are already trying to take their first steps. It is clear that they will want to get to know the flowers better. Therefore, the ideal solution for landscaping a children's room at this age would be hanging flower pots. You can place flowers on shelves located on the wall.
4. Ages from 2 to 5 years are characterized by increased activity. The guys are interested in everything and they belong to the “why” category. Green plants will help your baby learn about the world around him.

By caring for his green spaces, a child prepares for adulthood and learns to treat all life on Earth with care.

Parents using the example of the Uzambara violet, aspidistra. geraniums or ficus will be able to explain the process of plant development. In addition, a child can be introduced to work by learning how to care for indoor flowers.

When is it not worth sowing tomatoes for seedlings in January 2022 according to the lunar calendar?

There are times when you should not plant a vegetable crop, since the percentage of seed germination is too low. It is worth refraining from working during the full, new moon, as well as the day before and after the onset of these phases. Bad days are considered to be those when the moon enters the sign of Aquarius.

Using the lunar calendar, you can easily navigate the time that is unfavorable for sowing. In the first month of the year, it is highly undesirable to plant tomatoes 1 - 3, 16 - 19, 21, 22, 25, 26, 30, 31.

Planting vegetables

First, choose a place that will be comfortable for both you and the child - it can be a table or the floor. Then we cover the surface with oilcloth or paper to protect it from spilled soil and lay out everything that will be useful for planting. We invite the child, offer him to fill the pots with soil, plant the seeds, and, if necessary, add soil on top. After this, we water the plantings, put the pots in the prepared place and clean up after ourselves.

This is how our landing took place.

Pour soil into pots. Having placed all the materials on the floor, I called to my son, “Let’s go plant some seeds.” Daniel immediately took a shovel and began to pour the earth, I just asked him to sit on the mat so that the earth would not spill onto the floor.

If the child does not know how to pour, then it is better to first slowly show him and talk through each action: “I take the pot, I take the shovel. I scoop up soil with a spatula and pour it into a pot. Now try it." In order for the child to better understand what you want to explain, you must first show it and then pronounce it. Or vice versa, but the main thing is not at the same time.

Daniel poured soil into eight pots and was a little tired, so he asked me to fill the remaining pots.

To support my son, I noted his efforts: “You filled so many pots with earth! Let's count!" Lately, Daniel likes to count everything, but so far he can only count up to four or five, and then we work together - my son repeats after me.

Pour seeds into pots. I prepared a box lid for the seeds, but getting out small seeds turned out to be inconvenient. So I poured them into my hand, and Daniel took them from there. Working with seeds is great practice for motor skills and pincer grip.

When the seeds were planted, I told them that it was important to give the roots space so that they could grow larger, and Daniel laid out the grains on different sides of the pot

Sprinkle the seeds with soil and water. Daniel loves to water, or rather, flood plants with water. Therefore, I suggested a watering can with a thin spout and a spray bottle - this way there was less chance of filling the pots to the brim. In addition, with two options for tools, the child has the opportunity to make a choice.

We divided the work - I cover the seeds with soil, and my son waters

After watering, we repeated once again what we had planted, and Daniel proudly showed his dad what we had done.

After any lesson we have cleaning. I removed the bag of soil, and Daniel brought a dustpan and a broom. So far, the son is not doing everything, but his participation in the process and understanding of the algorithm of actions is already bearing fruit. I observe this myself, and I know from the stories of my grandmother and husband: after finishing some activity, Daniel puts everything back in its place without reminders. Therefore, I am sure that there is no need to insist, it is enough to show your involvement, and then the son will gladly join in the cleaning.

It happens that in response to my proposal, “Let’s put it back,” Daniel may say, “I don’t want to!” Then I say: “Okay. But I want it to be clean, I want to clean.” This often works, and the son says: “And I want it!” Then I ask: “Great! Please bring a broom." It happens that the son may walk around first, and then bring a broom or start cleaning too. I thank: “Thank you! Now it’s so clean, it’s nice.”

There is a point that I missed - I needed to make separate pictures of what we planted, but I had to tear off the pictures of vegetables from the bag of seeds.

We placed our plantings on a garden chair and placed everything we needed for watering next to it.

Lunar calendar for sowing tomatoes in January for every day, table

The table will help you determine the date.

When to plant tomatoes for seedlings in January 2022 according to the lunar calendar, favorable days

When choosing a planting date for tomatoes, experts recommend following the lunar calendar.

There are several recommendations on how to properly interact with the calendar:

• activities related to sowing work are carried out strictly on the waxing moon;
• when the moon is waning, planting seeds is carried out in exceptional situations, although it is not contraindicated;
• It is strictly forbidden to plant on the full moon and on the new moon;
• the phase in which the luminary is in the sign of Aquarius is considered an unlucky time;
• During the new moon, it is better to refrain from planting seed material, as well as the day before and after it.

According to the lunar calendar, the most successful time for obtaining tomato seedlings is considered to be from January 4 to January 15, inclusive.

It is also permissible to sow seeds on the dying moon from the 20th to the 30th, but the seedlings will be a little worse.
