Stone - (Old Slavonic “kamy”). Hard mineral material (rock mass). Basically, rocks or precious stones (diamond, diamond, etc.) are called stones. They come from the Ukrainian “kamin” - “mountain”.

Stones are as integral a part of nature as plants and animals. But the world of stone is older than the living world. In Rus', rings with stones were worn in ancient times.

Belief in the mysterious magical power of precious stones has existed since ancient times, so they were purchased as amulets and talismans that protect against hostile forces and bring happiness, curing all diseases. The three main virtues of precious stones - beauty, durability, rarity - set them apart from the world of inanimate nature.

There are many different stones in the world in shape and size. Group I - precious stones (gems) diamond, ruby, sapphire, emerald, alexandrite, topaz, aquamarine, garnet, turquoise, rock crystal and others. Group II - ornamental (colored stones) jade, lapis lazuli, glavcolite, sodalite, amazonite, labradorite, rhodonite, azurite, malachite, jade, lapis lazuli, glavcolite, sodalite, amazonite, labradorite, rhodonite, azurite, malachite, gypsum. Group III - organogenic precious stones: pearls, coral, amber, jet.

The most famous of all stones is DIAMOND. Diamond - the name of the most famous precious stone comes from the Greek "adamos", which means irresistible or indestructible, and the Arabic "almas" - the hardest. The main distinguishing features of diamond are the highest hardness among minerals (but at the same time fragility). Jewelry-quality colored diamonds can be born in absolutely any color, tone, hue, saturation... The most common are lemon yellow and blue stones, less often - red, green, violet, purple... Even more rare - pink... The rarest are natural black diamonds, for Throughout the entire history of diamond mining, only a few hundred such stones have been found and documented... The first diamonds were found in India. From ancient Indian sources it follows that this happened about three thousand years BC. DIAMOND

TURQUOISE Turquoise is one of the most valuable opaque stones used in jewelry. The color of turquoise ranges from faded blue to bright sky blue, almost blue; from yellowish-greenish to almost green. Often turquoise has various inclusions of other minerals (usually black - psilomelane and brown - limonite - colors). Sometimes these inclusions are observed in the veins and are very numerous - this is a “turquoise matrix”. The color of turquoise is very delicate. When heated to just 250 degrees Celsius, the blue color of turquoise turns into a faded green (much less valued). Turquoise is afraid of sunlight, sweat, oils - yellowish spots may appear.

MALACHITE Malachite is an opaque stone with a bizarre pattern of inclusions of all shades of green. The stone gets its name from the Greek “mallow” because its color resembles the color of the leaves of this plant. Pliny the Elder wrote that mala - hit is opaque, but denser and darker than emerald. However, the mineral is valued mainly for its varied texture: ribbon, streamy, concentric, radiant, star-shaped with iridescence. For the first time, a malachite deposit was discovered in ancient times in the Kirmana mountains in the south of Iran among copper mines. Deposits of “Elat stone” are located near the city of Elat in southern Israel. According to the Jewish legend, here once were “the mines of King Solomon.”

2. Introductory part:

Educator: Guys, look at the trays and tell me what they are? (stones)

-Where can you meet them? (everywhere)

— The planet we live on has stone clothing. Where clothing is visible, there are many stones on the surface, and stone mountains rise. They are very tall and have many protrusions. There are very few plants on the mountains. And the highest mountains are covered with snow, but due to the fact that it often rains and winds blow, the mountains are gradually destroyed, stones break off from them, and the wind carries them everywhere. Therefore, stones can be found everywhere.

3. AMO:
“Box of Feelings”
Children approach the demonstration table. On it lies a box of sensations, inside of which lies one large stone. Children take turns approaching the box. They stick their hands in from both sides and feel the object. They conclude: what lies inside the box? - Stone.

“It turns out that stones can be large and small, that is, they differ in size.

Experiment No. 4. The roughest and smoothest.

— Stones can be rough or smooth. Let's choose a smooth stone. It's nice to touch it with your hands. It is so smooth that it can slip out of your hands; it is called a naked. (Children choose a smooth stone and show it to the teacher)

“Now let’s choose a rough, angular pebble.” Show it. (Children show a smooth stone)

- Guys, what other types of stones are there?

5. Physical education moment. Game "Mountain and Pebbles"

(Children stand huddled close to each other - this is a mountain. Music plays.)

Teacher's voice:

“Once upon a time there was a big, big mountain. She considered herself the strongest, but the wind and water said that they were stronger. Years passed. Water rained down on the mountain, and the wind carried small pebbles and grains of sand from the surface of the mountain. Just like that, one pebble rolled, then another, a third, a fourth... The mountain began to shrink. In the end she became completely invisible. So the wind and water defeated the mountain. (Children run away from the mountain one by one)

Educator:

Having rested, we continue a little further.

Experience No. 5. The hardest or softest.

- Guys, take a pebble in one hand and plasticine in the other. Let's squeeze both palms. Let's see what happened to the stone, and what happened to the plasticine? (Children's answers)

- Guys, now let’s take expanded clay and put it in the water. What do we see? (He didn't drown.) There are a lot of air bubbles in the expanded clay, so it doesn't sink. This means that stones can sink or they can float.

Experience No. 7. Color.

- Guys, let’s put a pebble in the water and take it out with a spoon. Has the color changed? Stones in the water change color and become darker.

Experience No. 8. Sound.
