Observations in the middle group: a file cabinet according to the Federal State Educational Standard with goals, an example of a summary, long-term planning

Theoretical aspects of conducting observations in the middle group of preschool educational institutions

Observation is the purposeful perception by preschoolers of objects and environmental phenomena, specially organized by the teacher. This process is quite complex, since it simultaneously involves sensory perception, mental processes (the ability to analyze, draw conclusions, find cause-and-effect relationships) and the child’s speech. In addition, the child’s existing knowledge and experience are important for successful work.

Such activities become an important component for the formation of a preschooler’s ecological culture, since they are aimed at the following results:

The children have a desire to communicate more with nature, while reflecting their impressions in productive activities and various games.
A correct understanding of the essence of natural phenomena and a caring attitude towards plants and animals is established.
Children acquire practical knowledge about nature conservation.

A 4-5 year old child perceives the world around him through images and emotions, so competently organized observation is a source of varied and memorable impressions for pupils.

Tasks

At the secondary preschool level, observations solve the following tasks:

Deepening knowledge about seasonal changes in nature: kids learn to notice and name phenomena such as wind, leaf fall, snowfall, etc., identify signs of a specific time of year, compare landscapes in different seasons (autumn and winter, winter and spring, etc. ).
Forming the ability to establish elementary connections between natural phenomena (for example, it got cold - insects disappeared, plants faded, it froze - water turned into ice).
Expanding understanding of the diversity of plants and animals, birds and insects, their condition and behavior at different times of the year.
Deepening knowledge about the properties of inanimate objects (for example, water and sand, stones and clay, etc.).
Development of ideas about the work carried out in the kindergarten area (janitor’s work in different seasons), in the flower garden, vegetable garden (planting seeds, caring for plants, harvesting).
Clarification of ideas about objects of the social world (how passers-by are dressed in a certain season, consideration of transport, pedestrian crossings, traffic lights, etc.).

Working methods

Children of the fifth year of life already have certain ideas about nature, they are capable of detailed perception of objects. Nevertheless, the observation must be coordinated by the teacher: ask questions, draw up a rough plan, point out signs of similarities and differences in a number of objects (for example, different trees or birds). As a result, children develop a holistic image; they are able to verbally describe a plant, animal, or natural phenomenon.

In the middle group, the teacher must coordinate the observation process

Observation becomes more complicated due to an increase in the number of simultaneously examined objects (instead of one, two). In addition, each child or group of preschoolers (2-3 people) can be given objects for individual work (for example, leaves, twigs or cones).

During such activities, the teacher should not forget about environmental requirements (use only fallen leaves and twigs, do not pick them from the tree), so that the kids learn to treat plants and animals with care.

It is easier for children 4–5 years old to perceive an object of nature if you connect it with practical activities. The teacher sets a task - he informs them that an aquarium with fish has appeared in their group, and the children must learn to care for them (during the observation, preschoolers begin to master simple labor actions: give food to the fish or bird, wash the drinking bowl). Another example is that you need to carefully examine this fish in order to draw it later.

Observation will be more effective if linked to practical work activities

The teacher accompanies the examination of each object with numerous questions. They are aimed not only at clarifying the appearance of an object (for example, what color is the hamster’s fur, what is the shape of its body), but also at finding cause-and-effect relationships (why does this fish swim so fast that it helps the hamster climb the ladder so deftly).

It is good to accompany the examination of some objects with riddles, reading short poems, nursery rhymes on the relevant topic. So, the following options are suitable for bird watching on the site:

Jackdaw jumps along the path. Jackdaw - thin legs, black head, gray new coat. (A. Sokolik).
A white - sided magpie lived nearby, crackled like a rattle, tail along the side, flew nearby - not low, not high. All the news again - I found out, I found out! She twirled her tail and flew off into the forest - Frrrr! (T. Vtorova).
The sparrow got ruffled, Jump-jump... - Belt got wet in a puddle. A belt of feathers, Chick-chirp... But I'm used to swimming in a puddle. (A. Alferova).
Titmouse, titmouse, cheerful bird. Flies deftly, The cheat chirps. The bird is a titmouse. It is not big in stature, Our titmouse is Sparrow's little sister. (E. Volodina).

During observations, one should rely on the personal experience of preschoolers. So, looking at a kitten, a hamster, fish, the teacher asks the kids to tell what kind of pets they have in their family, what color they are, what kind of food they like, how they can play with a pet. Similarly, while admiring the flower garden on the territory of the kindergarten, the teacher asks the children to remember where else they saw beautiful flower beds and asks them to describe them.

This technique promotes the socialization of children, fosters a desire to emotionally share their impressions with others, and also allows them to form generalized ideas about objects.

At the end of the observation, the teacher sums it up and finds out how the children learned new knowledge (using questions). For example, “Now we know how to care for a hamster - let’s remember it together,” “Can you identify a bullfinch if you notice it on a walk with your parents?”

In the middle preschool level, more observations of the plant world are carried out: children examine seeds on the eve of planting them, compare different types of trees (for example, birch and rowan), trees and shrubs, indoor flowers (geranium and begonia). It is useful to use auxiliary diagrams, herbariums, and drawings here.

During the observation process, it is advisable to use diagrams and drawings

Another work technique that can be used when working with children of the fifth year of life is simple assignment games like “Find the same one” or “Who will notice?”

If the kids watched a cat during a walk, then the knowledge and impressions gained can be consolidated in the process of drawing

Types of observations in the middle group

Observations in kindergarten can be classified according to many parameters.

First of all, observations are classified according to the place where they were carried out - in the group or outside it.

Table: classification of observations

Criterion	Types of observations
Location	On a walk (preschool section); on an excursion (to a park, forest, field, meadow, intersection, pedestrian crossing, etc.); in an ecological corner in a group; during the lesson (ecology, traffic rules, communication).
Duration	Short-term (sometimes lasting only a couple of minutes, for example, looking at birds at a feeder or melting a snowflake on your palm); long-term, or cyclical (can stretch even for several months): the behavior of fish in the aquarium, growth and change of dandelions on the site, swelling of buds on trees, gradual change in foliage color in autumn.
Number of pupils	Individual; group (up to 10 people); frontal (whole group).
Stages of knowledge acquisition	Primary; repeated; comparative; generalizing.
Solvable cognitive tasks	Recognizers (create ideas about the variety of objects and their properties); recreating (reproduction of a complete picture based on specific features).
Observable objects	Behind objects of inanimate nature (stones, snow, icicles, puddles, clouds, etc.); for living beings; for transport (on the territory of the preschool educational institution or outside it: a car delivering food, a fire truck, etc.); behind the work of adults (a janitor cleaning the territory of a preschool educational institution, teachers and older preschoolers working in the garden).
Reason for holding	Planned; organized at the request of children, random.

What activities might include observations?

Observations are often organically included in the structure of direct educational activities. Most often, observations are part of an environmental lesson.

So, when telling children about the structure of an aquarium, there is nothing better than directly examining it together with the fish. Children will see with their own eyes sea pebbles at the bottom of the fish “house” (oval and smooth), and graceful algae. The teacher emphasizes that the water in the aquarium is clean and transparent, since dirty and stale fish will die. Kids will learn that for a fish to feel good, it needs warmth and light, algae and the right food. In the process of such observation, preschoolers can even feed the inhabitants of the aquarium themselves, which, of course, will delight them and will be remembered for a long time.

Children will better understand the structure of a fish if they see it live: shiny scales, fins, wriggling tail, gills. And the teacher will tell you what role each part of the body plays.

An environmental lesson on the topic “Aquarium” is best conducted in the form of observation

Similarly, you can conduct an ecology lesson on the topic “Indoor flowers”. By visually examining plants, having the opportunity to touch the leaves with their hands, and smell the flowers, children will learn much better than using pictures and posters.

Observations fit organically into classes on studying traffic rules. Thus, the teacher will clearly demonstrate the difference between a street and a roadway, and looking at a real traffic light will not compare even with its most realistic model. Children will easily understand the difference between a car and a truck if they look at them right next to the kindergarten. And if the kids manage to watch the work of a traffic controller with a black and white baton in his hands, they will be simply delighted.

Observing the operation of a real traffic light is useful for learning the rules of the road.

It turns out that the observation method can be successfully used in speech development classes. In this case, the teacher focuses not on the cognitive results of examining an object, but on developing in preschoolers the ability to talk about what they have learned and replenishing their vocabulary.

For example, when looking at a kitten, words such as fluffy, playful, affectionate, laps, etc. are introduced into the children’s active vocabulary. The teacher asks them to come up with a name for the animal and asks the kids to name as many options as possible. To develop children's speech, we should ask the same question in different ways (what will we call the kitten - what nickname will we come up with for it), pronounce hard-to-pronounce words in chorus, offer children several options to answer the question (the kitten's body is covered with feathers, wool or scales, its fur is soft or hard, it is smooth or fluffy, a kitten is a bird, animal or insect). By clarifying preschoolers' knowledge about the function that each part of the animal's body performs, the teacher not only focuses on the correct answer, but also teaches the children to answer not in monosyllables, but in complete sentences (for example, a kitten needs paws in order to move).

Organization of observations in the middle group of kindergarten

In the middle preschool level, it is already possible to practice cyclic observations of the life of plants and animals. During the observation process, students in the middle group receive a larger amount of information. So, in addition to information about the external appearance of living creatures, they learn their method of movement, habitat, and preferred food. This leads the children to understand the connection between the specific structure of plants and animals and their adaptability to the environment.

When organizing observation, it is important that the object is accessible to every child participating in the process. The teacher thinks in advance how many children can simultaneously participate in the work and how they should be placed in order to obtain the necessary information about the object.

The teacher must verbally voice everything that the children see, but the word must follow the perception: only in this case does the child develop full-fledged knowledge.

As for the duration of observation in the middle group, it should not take more than 10 minutes. The structure of the organized observation process is as follows:

First, the teacher gathers the children and attracts their attention (“Now you will see something interesting” or “Do you like animals?”), you can involve game characters (the old forester wants to show the kids the trees), riddles and descriptions. It is important not to overdo it here: strong emotions can interfere with thought processes.
The main part is a direct examination of the object, during which the teacher asks questions (no need to layer them on top of each other). After all, children need to think and concentrate.
The observation ends with final questions. If the children looked at some objects during a walk, before napping, you can read them a fairy tale on a suitable topic, and in the evening, invite them to create a drawing in which they express their impressions.

Matveeva N. “Observation of a birch”	V.: Guys, today we came to visit the birch tree. Everyone calls her a Russian beauty. Look how beautiful she is, slender, straight, and rises high, high. As if he wants to grow to the sky. Try to reach the top of your head. Did everyone reach out? You can not? That's how tall the birch tree is! The white birch tree stands in gold And its green leaves quietly rustle. Listen, guys, the birch tree is whispering something to us. Perhaps the birch tree is singing songs to us? She sings with leaves. And why? The breeze is blowing, the leaves are rustling in the wind and “singing.” Do you hear? Look, the branches are bent and shaking. They play with the breeze. But then the wind stopped, and all the leaves calmed down. Guys, when the wind is strong, what song does the birch tree sing to us? (Sad, loud). And when the wind is weak and the sun is shining? (Quiet, calm, lullaby). Admire the beauty of the crown. What a beautiful sundress our princess has, with black pockets. What is another name for a birch sundress? What colour? Let's touch and stroke her. Guys, stand under the tree and look up. What do you see? How many branches? Who can tell what the branches look like? The branches look like pigtails, they are long, thin, like curls. The slender beauty is famous throughout all countries: White clothes, Gold earrings, With an unbraided braid She washes herself with dew. The wind moves the strands, but does not order them to be braided. Birch is especially dear to our people. She is smart and beautiful. It is called white birch. Many poems, songs, fairy tales, and round dances are dedicated to the birch tree. I love the Russian birch, sometimes bright, sometimes sad, in a white sundress, with handkerchiefs in its pockets. With beautiful clasps, With green earrings. I love her, elegant, dear, beloved. (A. Prokofiev). Guys, we are all friends with you, you are friends with each other, birds are friends with birds, animals are friends with animals, and I am friends with you. Look, do we have any friend trees on our site? That's right, these two birch trees are friends. They are friends because they grow up side by side and help each other in difficult times. When they are sad, they rustle leaves, “talk” and make each other laugh. Let's hear what they have to say. They are always together and never quarrel. They grow on our site, and when we play next to them, they have fun, and when we go to the group, they are bored, and they wait for us again. Let's stand in a big circle and dance around our girlfriends.

Kolesova S. “Observations on the work of a janitor in winter”	Observation: draw the children’s attention to the work of the janitor. His shovel is wide, why? Invite children to help clear the sidewalk and area of the playground from snow. Poems on the topic: There has been a lot of snow, but they keep coming and going. Tired janitors Sweep, sweep, sweep. They rattle with shovels Under the shaggy clouds, They rustle like whisks. On the streets, in the alleys, in the courtyards and alleys, they are in a hurry to manage. (E. Blaginina). Q: What does our janitor do? (Clears the paths from snow). What's in his hands? (Shovel). Let's carefully observe the work of the janitor. (Children watch). What else does a janitor use besides a shovel? (Broom, dustpan). What is the difference between working with a shovel and working with a broom? (A shovel is used to remove large snow, a broom is used to sweep away light snow). Let's try to make our own brooms for removing snow and debris. They must be strong and neat. Exercise for developing fine motor skills of the hands “Venichek”. Together with the teacher, collect brooms from twigs and tie them. Sweep the snow off the benches from the house. V.: Look, what an interesting machine helps the janitor remove snow! This is a snowblower. (Watch the work of the snow blower.) A difficult job as a janitor? (Yes). Let's also take shovels and help the janitor remove the snow. But first, let's stretch our hands. Finger gymnastics “Snowfall”. Read also: Development of intelligence in children: what to pay attention to White flakes, white fluff smoothly and calmly (Rotate the hand) It circles over the trees and over the bell tower (Raises hands up). Every house and every bush is warmed, dressed (Show the roof of the house), A snow coat and a snow hat (Show the fur coat and hat). White flakes are falling from the sky in droves (They show how snow is falling), Covering the white light with a white blanket (They stroke one palm with the other). So that on the left, in front, behind and on the right (Show directions) Trees and grass sleep sweetly until spring (Show how they sleep). That’s a lot of snow to cover overnight (Hands on cheeks, shaking head)! It’s like a sled flying down a hill (the left palm is drawn from top to bottom along the right hand)! V.: Now you can get to work! (Children work with shovels). There is a lot of snow, there is no place to run, There is also snow on the path, Here are shovels for you guys, Let's work for everyone! Q: Do you think people need the work of a janitor? (Yes). Why? (To keep it clean, beautiful and safe around). Listen to the poem about the janitor: Our janitor with a broom and shovel In the frost, falling leaves and blizzard, rakes, sprinkles the paths with sand, teaches children to work. V.: Let's thank the janitor for his important and hard work. Let's thank him for keeping our kindergarten clean. And now I invite you to play. Didactic game “Whose instruments?” (Show cards with pictures of tools). Outdoor games: “Frost-Red Nose”, “The Bear Woke Up”. Q: Guys, did you like watching the janitor work? Is this a necessary profession? Why do we need wipers? Why should the paths be clean?

What is an observation cycle?

It is advisable to organize some observations in the form of cycles. For this purpose, objects are selected both on the kindergarten site and in the group. Each observation within the cycle has its own objectives, different from the others, but at the same time they are all interconnected. Taken together, this work is aimed at developing in preschoolers a holistic idea of a certain object: its structure, behavior (or states), and living conditions.

Cyclic observations have the following advantages:

The entire amount of knowledge is given to the preschooler in portions, due to which they are absorbed more firmly.
Each subsequent observation reveals to the children new facets of a natural object familiar to them, while clarifying the existing ones.
Repeated reference to a specific object generates sustained interest in it. Therefore, children often make new observations on their own (they are not encouraged to do so by the teacher, which is extremely important).
Cyclic observations can be organized at regular moments, which allows you to save time for other activities and make the life of children in kindergarten more interesting and varied.

Observation of any animal in a corner of nature can be organized in the form of cycles

As for the duration of the cycle, it can take from one to several months. This could be a periodic examination of the garden on the windowsill: the kids, together with the teacher, note how the plants have grown, how their appearance has changed (you can focus on this, for example, twice a week, although children will probably come to the garden more often). Another example is observing aquarium fish (the emphasis is on their growth and behavior).

For all the animals in the ecological corner in the group, the teacher draws up his own series of observations: after all, the children should know their little neighbors well. Cyclic observations can also be devoted to objects of the plant world, for example, some tree on the site (birch, rowan, spruce, etc.), as well as a houseplant.

Rowan is a colorful tree that can become the object of cyclical observation in the middle group

Table: a series of observations of a hamster in a corner of nature

Observation phase	Target	Progress of observation
Getting to know your hamster	Arouse interest in the animal, the desire to observe it.	The teacher shows the children a hamster, and together they come up with a name for it, specify the size of the animal, its color, and the texture of its fur. Comparison of a hamster with a mouse. Analysis of the pet's behavior: what it does in the cage, is it afraid of people, is it easy to catch the animal, is the hamster calm or active.
A new home for a hamster	Show children that to live next to a person, a hamster needs conditions - a spacious cage. Teach children to help adults in arranging a house for a pet.	Children watch how the teacher sets up a “house” for the hamster: he makes a bedding from sand or sawdust, installs a ladder, a running wheel, and a place for a toilet. The purpose of each attribute is discussed. The guys watch what the animal will do with the ladder and the wheel.
Is your pet happy in his house?	Teach kids to notice how an animal feels in a new environment (a new cage), and lead them to conclusions: how conditions can be improved.	The kids, with the help of the teacher, assess how the hamster feels in his home: whether he is sick, find out when the hamster is more active - in the morning or in the evening.
Hamster nutrition	Find out the animal's taste preferences.	The hamster is hungry. The guys give him bread, oats, carrots. The animal eats and stores.
How a hamster stores supplies	Clarify the structural features of a hamster's muzzle.	The teacher informs preschoolers that the animal has cheek pouches (similar to bags) in which it carries food. When he puts food there, his muzzle inflates like a balloon, and then loses weight again. Conclusion - the hamster is thrifty. In addition, it has sharp teeth: it is necessary to constantly give the animal twigs so that it sharpens its teeth.
Hamster cleanliness	Draw children's attention to how the hamster takes care of itself.	The guys watch the hamster wash itself after eating. He also constantly cleans his fur (that's why it is smooth and shiny) and uses the toilet carefully. Conclusion: the animal can be called clean.
How a hamster rests	Observe the animal's daily routine.	The teacher focuses the attention of preschoolers on the fact that the hamster mostly sleeps during the day and is active in the late afternoon. Conclusion: the animal is nocturnal.
Comparison of hamster and mouse	To consolidate knowledge about the appearance of a hamster.	The teacher summarizes the preschoolers' knowledge about the appearance of a hamster: an oval, well-fed body, almost no neck, small ears and eyes, a movable nose with a mustache, short legs with sharp claws. The animal looks like a mouse, however, unlike it, it is tailless.
Features of hamster movement	Clarify the animal's modes of movement.	A hamster can move in different ways: walk, run (including inside a wheel), climb a ladder, and jump off it. However, the animal does not run particularly fast, since its legs are short. A young hamster is more active than an old one. Children conclude that their pet is still young. The teacher invites the kids to write a story about the funny behavior of the hamster.
When a hamster is hard to spot	Give an idea of the camouflage coloration of the animal.	The teacher applies paper of different colors to the walls of the cage. The hamster is least noticeable on a brown background, since it is close to its color (it is also invisible on the sand poured at the bottom of the cage). These are ways to camouflage an animal.

Table: cyclic observations of mountain ash at the preschool site

Observation phase	Target	Progress of observation
Getting to know the rowan	Learn to recognize rowan, distinguish it from other trees.	Riddle about rowan. The teacher suggests using the description in the riddle to find this tree on the site. Children come to the conclusion that rowan differs from other trees in its round red-orange berries.
Rowan during snowfall	Learn to see the beauty of a tree covered with snow.	Riddle about a snow-covered tree. Discussion of what rowan looks like: white and fluffy with snow. But it’s hard for her branches: the guys must help her - shake off the snow, and then the branches will immediately rise.
Rowan berries	Tell the children that birds love to eat rowan berries.	The attention of preschoolers is drawn to the berries near the mountain ash in the snow. It turns out that birds, especially bullfinches, love to eat them. But they only select the seeds inside and drink the juice, spitting out the pulp. That's why snow appears red.
Comparison of mountain ash with birch	Learn to find similarities and differences between rowan and other trees.	The teacher and the children consistently highlight the differences between rowan and birch: different colors of bark, shape of leaves, presence of berries (birch has seeds in “catkins”).
Compiling the fairy tale “I am a mountain ash”	Learn to emotionally express your attitude towards a tree through a fairy tale.	During the walk, the teacher invites the children to compose a short fairy tale about how the mountain ash feels and what it dreams about. Guiding questions: does she live well on the site, what is her favorite season of the year, what do the branches whisper when the children go for a walk, how can you help the mountain ash feel better, is it good to be a tree.

Progress of observation

In the autumn, a cloud flew by plane over the forest and swamp. The cloud flew low,

A parachutist jumped from it. And now another one follows her, And a flock is already flying behind the flock.

Fog is a natural . Fog spreads over the very ground. It seems as if the clouds descended low and low and entangled the earth with a thick white blanket. And fog consists of tiny droplets of water. And in the clouds, and in the sky, and in the fogs above the ground, these droplets were formed from transparent water vapor. It enters a stream of cold air and begins to thicken, turning into droplets of water. If droplets formed high in the sky, they became clouds, and if low above the ground, they became fog. They happen at all times of the year.

The teacher asks the children questions.

What is the sky like during fog? How do you breathe? Is the air humid or dry? Is the fog thick? Why is the fog thinner near and thicker in the distance?

Experiments, experiments Experience “What’s in the bag?”

Purpose: to identify the properties of air, compare the properties of water and air.

Progress of the experiment: Invite children to examine two bags (with water, air, find out what is in them, explain why they think so. Children weigh them on their hands, feel them, open them, smell them. How are water and air similar and how are they different? Similarities - transparent, tasteless and odorless, take the shape of the vessel they are in. Differences - water is heavier, pours, some substances dissolve in it and solidify, taking the shape of the vessel; air is invisible, weightless.
