During the classes

Org. Moment.

Teacher.

Guys, today we are going to amazing journey, but in order for it to be informative and enjoyable, take a friend, a travel map and of course good mood. Turn to each other and smile, a smile opens all the doors, but now let's go!

Now we will all together choose the route of our journey.

Knowledge update

Slide number 2 -3.

Look closely at the map. What do you see?

What continents is the landmass of our planet divided into?

Which continent is the largest?

What continent is Russia on - our home.

What is a mainland?

Slide #4

Teacher - guys, what journey through the seas and oceans will we go with you? The answers are on a trip to the continents.

The teacher offers to fill in the column “Start of the Journey” on page 1 of the “Travel Guide”

Game in pairs "Where are you from?". The game involves the use of previously acquired knowledge about the origin of plants and animals. Students receive a "Travel Guide" with tasks - 1. The task is to distribute groups of animals and plants across the continents. The class completes the tasks, but the result is partially negative, as there is a lack of knowledge.

Teacher - what problem do we have?

What is the reason for the diversity of flora and fauna of various continents?

Learning new material.

Showing a presentation, in parallel working with a textbook - natural history. Grade 5 A.A. Pleshakov, N.I. Sonin., M., Bustard, 2012. pp. 109-114 "Life on different continents"

Task number 2 "Orientation on the map"

The teacher offers to review paragraph No. 24 pp. 109-113 and complete task No. 2. 1. Enter the name of the continents in the table of the "travel guide" and mark it with a number on the map. (work with the textbook) Life on different continents

Slide number 5-6

The teacher talks about the features of the mainland - Eurasia.

Evra?ziya - the most big mainland on the ground. The area is 53.893 million km, which is 36% of the land area.

All are represented in Eurasia (arctic desert, tundra, taiga, mixed forests, desert, dry and wet rainforests....). It's connected with large sizes mainland and stretching from north to south. The fauna of Eurasia is very diverse.

(The teacher first acquainted some of the children with the travel route, they prepared short messages about the inhabitants of the continents)

Rule number one - if you know where you are going and what your goal is, get to know the inhabitants of these places in absentia.

Slide number 7

1 student. Eurasia (country China). Describes the characteristics of flora and fauna.

The teacher focuses on a new word - Ende? Miki, or ende? We (from ?νδημος - local) - species, genera, families or others And , whose representatives live on a relatively limited , are represented by a small geographical area. Endemic species of plants and animals, due to their limited range and, consequently, limited numbers, are often listed in and as rare or endangered species.

Slides 8-16

Acquaintance with the animal world of different natural areas (children identify animals that are found in our Ulyanovsk region)

Slide #17

Phys. minute

The teacher invites the children to relax and imagine the following situation before going to the new continent - the children met the same travelers as they are. They should be greeted (they stand up, turn to the next pair of guys, shake hands, pat smiling on one and the other shoulder, shake hands again and say goodbye with a wave of the hand, accompanied by warm verbal wishes).

Slide #18

The teacher invites the children to go to Africa.

Africa is the second largest continent after Eurasia, washed by mediterranean sea from the north, red - from the northeast, Atlantic Ocean from the west and Indian Ocean from east and south

Slide #19

2 student talks about the most famous plant on the mainland - the baobab.

Baobab

This type of baobab can be up to 30 meters high, the circumference reaches 15.9 m.

Baobab prefers to grow in the savannas. This tree is considered not only the thickest tree on the planet, but also a long-lived tree. Radiocarbon analysis has shown that the baobab can live for thousands of years. This tree is not afraid of either storms or drought. During rainstorms, it absorbs moisture. If this tree falls, it takes root and continues to grow, and a new one grows in place of the stripped bark. Each baobab flower blooms one night, withering at dawn. Despite the fact that the baobab is considered a delicacy of elephants, the leaves, fruits and even seeds of this tree are used in cooking by the inhabitants of the places where it grows. The bark and roots are used in textile production, while the wood is used for paint and fuel.

Slide #20

3 the student talks about the aardvark.

The African animal aardvark can be considered the record holder for high-speed "digging". With powerful paws and long, spoon-shaped claws, an aardvark can dig a hole in soft soil faster than several people armed with shovels can dig a trench of the same length. The aardvark is not able to flee from enemies, it is too clumsy for this. But it can hide from danger in a mink, which it instantly digs for this. In five minutes, the animal sometimes manages to dig a passage several meters long. Even hard, sun-dried soil lends itself to the efforts of the aardvark, unless the work is delayed for a longer period. Aardvark cubs begin to dig their own passages in the ground when they reach the age of 6 months. While digging, the aardvark presses its ears to its head and closes its nostrils - this is necessary so that the soil does not fill up there, ants and termites do not crawl.

Slide #21

Work with the textbook.

Slide #22

Teacher. Travel to North America.

North America is one of the 6 continents of the planet Earth, located in the north of the Western

hemispheres of the earth.

Slide #23

4 student. Talks about sequoia - a coniferous tree.

The teacher draws attention to the word - Cordille?ry - the greatest in length mountain system the globe, extending along the western margins of North and South America.

slide number 24

5 student. He talks about the bighorn sheep.

Slide #25

Work with the textbook.

What kind of animal is that?

Slide #27

What is the reason for the diversity of flora and fauna of various continents?

Conclusion:

Continents are located in different parts our planet earth

Living organisms populate all corners of the globe.

The diversity of the animal and plant world is primarily related to the climate, where they live, where they grow, what they eat and what conditions they live in.

Consolidation of the studied material.

Our journey is over for today, and now we need to sum up who we met on our way. Fill in the second column on the first sheet "END OF JOURNEY"

Guys, express your impressions about the traveled path in the form of a smiley - 1. I liked the trip, I learned a lot of interesting things

2. I didn't like it, I wasn't interested.

Reflection

Group game. "Ecological code of the inhabitants of the Earth" (if there is time)

Students are invited to brainstorm and jointly develop an "Ecological code of the inhabitant of the Earth." At the first stage, all proposals are recorded, no matter how “unsuccessful” they may seem. Then each of them is evaluated by the participants, the order of the provisions of the Code is built, the wording is “polished”. At the end, the Code is discussed and supplemented by the participants.

Guys, express your impressions about the traveled path in the form of a smiley - I liked the trip, I learned a lot of interesting things

In this lesson, you will study the topic "Plants and animals of different continents." You will get to know the most prominent representatives flora and fauna, which are located on different continents of our planet, their way of life, behavioral characteristics.

In the modern geological era, there are 6 continents: Eurasia, North America, South America, Africa, Australia and Antarctica. (Fig. 1).

Let's get acquainted with some plants and animals of each of the continents.

Plants and animals of Eurasia.

This is the largest continent on Earth. Russia is on it. But today we will get acquainted with prominent representatives of other countries, for example, China.

A cultural plant known throughout the world is grown here, the name of which in translation means: "the basis of human nutrition." This is rice. (Fig. 2). Now this culture has learned to cultivate in many countries of the world. The peoples of Asia deify this plant, calling it a symbol of the sun and the food of the gods. Fields with this plant look rather unusual (Fig. 3). They are completely filled with water.

Rice. 2. rice plant

Rice. 3. Rice field

Rice is not a plant that lives naturally in water. Asians have discovered that rice grown in a field flooded with water yields 20 times more than in a dry field. Evidence found during archaeological sites in China show that rice has been grown there for 8,000 years. In a flooded field, the water insulates the rice sprouts from heat and cold. Water in a flooded field apparently destroys all weeds. A flooded rice field does not need artificial fertilizers. It can maintain the level of natural fertilizers for a long time if it is helped a little, for example, by burning the remains of sprouts in a dry field and mixing them with the ground, scattering animal excrement or food remains. Breeding fish or ducks in a flooded field also fertilizes the soil.

Field processing. The peasant harnesses the bulls to the plow and plows the land. The process of flooding the field involves mixing the earth with water and turning it into a homogeneous mud. When mixing the earth, rice grains are planted in special greenhouses. This is done in order to highlight strong shoots and improve conditions for initial growth. Direct planting in the field does not give good results, since the seeds germinate with difficulty in a flooded field. Soft seedlings are harvested when they reach a height of about 10 cm. They make bunches of rice stalks and take them out into a flooded field for planting. They do not need to be planted in the ground, they are simply thrown into the water and they take root themselves. Every kilo of rice we buy is watered with an average of 4,000 liters of water. The Chinese have learned the great art of regulating the flow of rivers in order to water their rice fields. The water in the channels is in constant motion and does not stagnate. Rice can be grown year after year in the same field without interruption even for 2 thousand years in a row, which is not typical for other crops.

Animals of China.

One of the animals of China is the giant panda. Lives only here. It is one of the rare little-studied animals. (Fig. 4).

Rice. 4. Giant panda

The giant panda was discovered in 1869, and was caught only 68 years later. At one time, she was even considered extinct. Only in 1937 was the first big panda caught - a young female, who was named Sulin. But she did not live long in captivity and died a year later. Panda hunters now had more experience. And soon they caught another female, named Mei-Mei.

The word "panda" itself comes from the local name of this beast, which means "eater of bamboo." This animal feeds only on thin bamboo sprouts. The giant panda, or bamboo bear, is a mammal of the bear family with a peculiar black and white coat color, which has some signs of raccoons. The body length of the giant panda is about 1.5 meters. The fur is thick and very beautifully colored.

Animals of Africa.

The tallest animal in the world lives in Africa - the giraffe. Thanks incredibly long neck, its height reaches 6 meters. (Fig. 5). Such growth and very sharp vision allows him to notice moving objects at a distance of about 1 km. It is no coincidence that the giraffe turns out to be a watchman for animals living in the neighborhood: an antelope, a zebra, an ostrich. The giraffe feeds on tree leaves.

Rice. 5. Giraffe

Africa is the hottest continent on our planet. One of the most famous plants of this continent is the baobab. In a trunk up to 10 m thick, the baobab stores water. Its soft wood, like a sponge, can store up to 120 tons of water. In dry years, the tree loses some weight, and after the rains it becomes fat again. (Fig. 6). Each baobab flower lives only one night and withers at dawn. Feasting on the pollen and nectar of flowers, the bats and lemurs pollinate them. At night, these animals mysteriously rustle the foliage on the tree. No wonder the Africans believed that a spirit lives in every flower of the baobab.

Rice. 6. Baobab

Among the plants of this continent, the growing coniferous trees- sequoias. These are giant trees: more than 100 m in height and up to 10 meters in diameter. (Fig. 7). They live for several thousand years. A sequoia cone is the size of a large melon.

Rice. 7. Sequoia

Animals of North America.

Of the animals of North America, we will name a small animal, which absolutely everyone knows here. He is not hiding from anyone. It's a skunk. (Fig. 8). Wide white stripes on an almost black body attracts attention from afar. Few dare to approach him. In danger, it emits such a disgusting smell that neither animals nor people can stand it, but rather run away as soon as possible.

Rice. 8 Striped Skunk

Sequoia has excellent wood, which is highly valued in carpentry. It is almost unaffected by fire. The sequoia is not only adapted to survive by enduring Forest fires but also needs them. Without them, sequoias would not have survived to our time. Sequoia loves the sun. Its young trees cannot survive in dense spruce growth at the foot of mature trees. Its seeds are difficult to germinate through a layer of fallen leaves and needles. Fire without causing great harm forest giants, burns out the undergrowth and needles lying on the ground.

Most tall tree in the world - Hyperion sequoia, whose height is 115.61 m.

Nature endowed these animals with an unusual, but very effective weapon: turning around "rear", they splash with a yellow oily liquid. A dense jet flies 4-5 meters! The main substance in chemical weapons» skunk - ethyl mercaptan. A person smells it, even if he inhales only 0.000000000002 g of it!

Here on the Amazon River there is the most amazing plant world: water lily Victoria regia. The leaves of this water lily are up to 2 m in diameter. A child can sit on such a sheet. (Fig. 9). The sheet does not sink even after a 9 kg board is placed on it, on which a woman weighing 63 kg stands. It is easy to calculate that the sheet withstood a load of 72 kg.

IN South America the world's largest butterfly lives gray agrippa (Fig. 10).

Its wingspan is almost 30 cm. The largest beetle in the world lives here: the lumberjack is a titan. Its length is 18 cm.

Australia is the smallest and driest continent. The most famous plants of this continent are eucalyptus. (Fig. 11). There are also small shrubs.

Rice. 11. Eucalyptus

Rice. 12. Kangaroo

Marsupials are an ancient group of mammals that appeared on Earth more than 60 million years ago. There are about 250 species of them, of which 180 species live in Australia and its neighboring islands. About 50 species of modern and extinct kangaroos alone are known. (Fig. 12). Australia - kingdom marsupials. There are a marsupial wolf, a marsupial mole, a marsupial mouse, marsupial bear. Of course, the marsupial wolf is in no way related to the wolf living in our area. All marsupials give birth to very weak and underdeveloped cubs, which are more like embryos than young animals. The largest living marsupial is the gray kangaroo. Its length is 3 meters, and its weight is 80 kg. He gives birth to a tiny cub, whose length is 3 cm and weight is only 2 g. However, this helpless creature is able to crawl along the mother's stomach to the opening of the bag, find the nipple and attach to it. The kangaroo is weak and cannot suckle by itself. Milk is injected to him by his mother with the help of contraction of a special muscle - the constrictor of the mammary gland. A kangaroo cub, sensing danger, jumps into its mother's pouch. He does this even as he grows up and becomes an adult. This is a funny sight.

Live in Australia different types kangaroo. From dwarf, the size of a hare, to giant, three meters tall. These animals carry their young in a pouch on their stomach.

Few living creatures have adapted to the harsh conditions of this continent. Mosses and lichens are found in coastal areas. (Fig. 13). The most famous animal in Antarctica is the penguin. (Fig. 14). These birds cannot fly, but they swim and dive very well. They get their food from the sea. Mainly fish.
