Senior group project “Stone Tale”
Conversation “Gemstones”
Goal: To introduce children to the most common decorative stones and products made from them. Form an aesthetic perception of the environment. Showing an illustration of a collection of stones Reading an excerpt from P. Bazhov’s fairy tale “The Malachite Box” Musical accompaniment “Dawn over the Moscow River” by M. Mussorgsky A surprise moment, a gift from the Mistress of the Copper Mountain. The teacher talks about how there are also magic stones. The teacher reminds the children about the stones brought from the cave. Invites you to examine and touch them, to pay attention to the color and shape of the stones. Are they smooth or rough? Offers to look at different pebbles. In ancient times, people made amulets from such stones: it was believed that this would protect them from troubles and diseases. People have long learned to make jewelry from these stones. Children touch stones and determine how they feel to the touch - smooth or rough? The teacher suggests looking at a collection of stones and jewelry. The stones are very beautiful, durable, and have an unusual shine. Our ancestors endowed stones with supernatural powers. Primitive people depicted magical signs on them. They believed that such a stone protected a person, healed him, and helped him in difficult situations. Later people appeared - jewelers. They made jewelry from stones - earrings, beads, rings, bracelets. The stone was considered not only a decoration, but also a talisman that brought good luck and happiness. The teacher reminds the children that in the Altai Territory there is a plant for processing decorative stone; the products of this plant are exhibited in museums across the country. The teacher reads an excerpt from a fairy tale, music sounds: “Yes, we have my dear father’s memento - a malachite box. That's where the stones are! I could look at them forever. ... Tanya ran around doing a lot of housework and climbed into the hut to play with her father’s pebbles. She put on a headband, hung up earrings... And the stones became even more beautiful. So they burn with different lights, and the light from them is like the sun.” Draws children's attention to the fact that the box has opened. The teacher and children look at what is in the box. The teacher gives the children a gift from the Mistress of the Copper Mountain - a colored pebble.
GCD "Amazing Stones"
Target:
Equipment: Box with stones, Map-scheme, envelope with cut cards, equipment for conducting research activities (magnifying glass, nails, coin, glass of water, chalk, lemon), rope, “Mistress of the Copper Mountain” doll, decorated exhibition of stones, candies “Sea pebbles.”
Progress of the lesson: Children with a teacher enter the group, pay attention to the guests, the children greet them. – Look, what’s this lying on the floor? (the child picks up the scroll and gives it to the teacher). - Let's see what it is. (This is a map). (On the map under number 1 there is a picture of a box, under number 2 there is an image of a magnifying glass, test tube, microscope, under number 3 there is a square). - Maybe someone lost it? (looks around). – How can I find the owner of this card? (Walk along the route). (The teacher places the map on the easel) - Look carefully at the map, where should we start the journey? Why do you think so? (at the bottom of the card there is a box numbered 1). - Look where the box is? Bring (child’s name) it to me. (the child brings the box and gives it to the teacher). – What can you say, what is the weight of the box? (heavy) - What do you think could be in it? (children's answers) - Let's see? (The teacher with the children examines the contents of the box) - What is this? (stones) - What are stones for? (children's answers) - Where can you find stones? (on the street, in the mountains, in the sea, in the country...). - Take one stone each. – Today we will not only look for the owner of the card, but also talk about stones and find out their properties. – So, we have examined the contents of the box, let’s see what is shown on the card under the number 2? Name these objects (microscope, test tubes, magnifying glass). – What is the name of the place where they can see this equipment? (laboratory). -What is the laboratory for? (to conduct experiments) - Who conducts experiments in the laboratory? (scientists) - I invite you to the laboratory. The path to the laboratory lies along this narrow road. Walk so as not to drop the stones; they will be useful to us later. (Children walk on a tightrope on the floor). - We are with you in the laboratory. Take your seats at the tables. I suggest you be scientists. Place the stone next to the stones that are there. – Today you are exploring the properties of stones. – Look, there is a diagram on the board that will tell you in what sequence you will conduct the experiments. All the signs are already familiar to you. – Tell (child’s name) what we should learn about stones today? (The child goes to the board and tells according to the diagram.) – There are tables on your tables. In it you will note the results of the experiment, designating them with “plus” or “minus” signs. – So, let’s begin the first experiment, select one stone and examine it. (Conversation with children individually: Does the stone feel smooth or rough to the touch? Enter the results in the table). – Tell me, what does the stone feel like? (Answers from 2 children). - Proceed with the second experiment. What can you say about the color of the stones? (They are multi-colored) Enter the results of what you see in the table. – Place a stone in front of you and examine it under a magnifying glass. (Children look, the teacher asks individually: What did you see on the stone? Put it in the table). – Tell me, what interesting things did you discover while looking at the stones under a magnifying glass? (1-2 child’s answers). – Dear scientists, I invite you to come to me. What do you know about stones, how do they appear? - Let's build a mountain. (Physical training session “Mountain” is held) Physical training session: There is a mountain - an old woman, (raises hands up) The top of the head reaches the sky (stretches on tiptoes) The wind blows on her, (fans themselves with their hands) The rain pours down on her, (shakes hands) The mountain stands, suffers , loses pebbles (put their palms to their cheeks and shake their head) Every day and every night (the teacher touches several children who must imitate pebbles). The pebbles are rolling and rolling away. (some of the children move aside) (The game continues until all the “pebbles” roll to the sides. “Rolled pebbles” continue reading the text and moving along with the others, remaining in their place). The pebbles rolled, and from that moment on, nothing remained of our mountain! (with both hands they point to an empty space). – Go behind the workstations, let’s continue work, check the stone for hardness. – Scratch the stone with your fingernail; if a scratch appears on the stone, put a plus sign in the table. Try to scratch the stone with a coin or a nail. (Individually: what kind of stone do you have? Put a sign in the table). – What can you say about the stone, what is it like? (child's answer) - Attention! Now I’ll tell you a riddle, try to guess it: “The white pebble melted and left marks on the board” - What stone is the riddle talking about? Chalk is also a stone. - Find chalk among the stones and show it to me. – How do you think it differs from other stones? (white, leaves marks, can be used for drawing). - Tell me how hard it is. Try running a nail across it. – What can you say about chalk? (soft chalk) - This means that stones can be both soft and hard. – Take a stone and lower it into the water. What's happening? Indicate the observation results in the table. – Now you have filled out the entire table. We received the results of the study. – Go to the map. What's the next task? (An envelope is drawn on the map) - Find where the envelope might be? (an envelope on a round table, a cut-out picture in the envelope) - What lies here? (the teacher opens the envelope and takes out a cut-out picture) How do you find out what is hidden here? (you need to put it out) (They are collecting a portrait of the mistress of the copper mountain). - Who is this? What do you know about her? The mistress of the copper mountain appears. - Hello guys. You have visited my laboratory. And I see that you have been experimenting with stones. What have you learned? – Nastya, tell the Mistress of the Copper Mountain what we learned about stones today. - Well done, for this I will show you my stones. Stones can also be precious. (Shows stones in rings on his hands, earrings, pendant). I invite you to an exhibition of stones. Jewelry and various items are made from stones. Isn't it very beautiful! – In order for you to learn more about stones and stone craftsmen, I give you this book. When you read the book, gather a museum of different stones in your group, invite guests and tell them about the wonderful world of stones. And this doll will become the mistress of your museum. (doll dressed as the Mistress of the Copper Mountain). “I’ll take the map with me, and I’ll go to another kindergarten to introduce the children to the properties of stone.” (removes a card from the board). Goodbye, I’m very glad to meet you (leaves). – Tell me, what new did you learn today? “I’m pleased with your work, and we’ll definitely read the book and put together a museum of stones.”

- Develop the ability to independently build a hypothesis before starting an experiment and compare it with the result;
- Cultivate interest in the gifts of the Earth's storehouses.
Material and equipment:
a letter, a box with decorations and various stones, a model of a mountain, aprons, rope, colored pencils, a table - “Algorithm for describing a stone” for each child, magnifying glasses, glasses of water, illustrations of various houses, beautiful buildings, palaces made of stone.
Preliminary work:
collecting various stones for the collection, reading fairy tales by P. Bazhov, conversations on the content.
There is a knock on the door, a gnome comes to visit, brings a box and a letter from the gnome brothers. Reads the letter.
“Hello, dear friends! The dwarf brothers are writing to you from a small mountain village. A mountain river flows next to us. Everything is so unusual in the mountains: clouds and birds appear below you, and not above your head. But the most precious thing for us is underground. We gnomes are constantly looking for gemstones and making jewelry. We send you some as a gift. Stones are so different! A stone can tell a lot to any person, especially a gnome. You just need to be able to reveal its secrets. In the mountains we often meet people who are looking for stones - geologists. They believe that any stones are interesting. Maybe they're right. To make the soup salty, you need salt, and salt is also a stone. Each pebble has its own history, its own interesting properties. We, gnomes, invite you to the mountains, where we have hidden many different stones. Let each of you find your stone and find out its secret. Good luck to you!
Dwarfs are guardians of stones"
The teacher and the children examine the contents of the gnomes' box. They are talking.
—What are these items needed for? (for decoration, for beauty)
-What are they made of? (from different stones)
-Are they similar to the stones that we find on the street? (No)
— Could they be relatives?
-Why are stones needed in nature?
-Where can you find stones?
The teacher invites the children to become geologists and go to the mountains in search of stones that the gnomes hid.
Children head to a model of a mountain where various stones are hidden and look for them. Having found it, they examine it.
— Did you find different or identical stones? (different)
— Are your stones an object of nature or not? Why do you think so?
— Are stones living or inanimate nature?
The children put the stones in their backpacks and go to the laboratory. On the way they encounter obstacles: jump over a stream, walk over pebbles, holding on to a rope . (Physical education minute)
In the laboratory, children become scientists and examine rocks using a magnifying glass and various materials. The research results are entered into a table. The teacher directs the children's research activities.
Experience No. 1.
- Look at the stones through a magnifying glass and mark in the table what color your stone is. (Children make a sketch with colored pencils)
Experience No. 2.
- Touch the stone. How does it feel: smooth or rough? Enter the result in the table.
Experience No. 3.
— What else can be found on the stone? (chips, cracks, drawings, patterns) If they exist, put (+), if not (-). Scratch your stone with your fingernail. If there is a scratch, your stone is soft, put the letter “M”; if there is no scratch, your stone is hard, put the letter “T”.
Experience No. 4.
— Place the stone in the water. What happened? (drowned) mark the result in the table.
— Have all the stones sunk? (expanded clay did not sink) Has the stone changed color?
Experience No. 5.

Relevance of the project.
Even in preschool childhood, a child must learn to navigate nature, the phenomena of the surrounding reality, social life and his own life. In order to form in children a holistic understanding of the world around them, more attention should be paid to a comprehensive study of living and inanimate nature, the ecosystem of the region, and the country as a whole. Let us carefully look under our feet, lift up and examine one of the mysteries of nature - stone. Few people thought that the earth consists of only two components, stone and water. Since ancient times, the connection between man and nature and stone has been known. Stones and minerals are amazing gifts of nature. People treated the mysterious and mysterious powers of stones with great respect.
Introducing children to the minerals of the Ulyanovsk region, mined in the quarries of the city of Novoulyanovsk, simply with stones found on the banks of our Volga River, helps to broaden the children's horizons, the ability to establish connections between the properties and characteristics of various materials, the ability to identify the materials from which objects are made, familiarity with professions of people. Involving children in experimental and research activities is a means of developing their curiosity and interest in natural resources.
The knowledge acquired by children during the project becomes the property of their personal experience. They were obtained in response to questions posed by the children themselves during the project activities. The best discovery is the one the child made himself.
Objective of the project:
creating conditions for the development of cognitive and research abilities of pupils, for the formation of a holistic worldview of a preschool child through experimentation, the result is the creation of a mini-museum “The Mysterious World of Stone”.
Project objectives:
To develop research skills aimed at understanding the world around us; Develop the ability to identify the materials from which stone products are made, examine stones, name their properties and features, classify stones according to their distinctive features.
To develop interest in objects of inanimate nature and in experimental activities with them.
Enrich the vocabulary of preschoolers, activate their thinking abilities.
To form moral and patriotic feelings for the native land, pride in the cultural and historical heritage.
Develop curiosity, interest and caring attitude towards the diverse natural resources of the Ulyanovsk region and hometown.
Project content:
The project to create a mini-museum “The Mysterious World of Stones” introduces children of senior preschool age to the variety and properties of different stones, their features, meaning and their varied uses by humans. Children develop interest in objects of inanimate nature, and form moral and patriotic feelings towards their small Motherland.
