Entertaining tasks

It’s good if a quiz about space engages not only the memory of schoolchildren, but also makes them think. Children love mental puzzles. You can ask them the questions listed below:

• Will an astronaut be able to pour water from one glass to another while in orbit? (No, since in space he is in weightlessness).
• If, during the construction of an orbital station, an astronaut is squeezed between two blocks that weigh hundreds of kilograms on Earth, will he suffer? (Yes, since bodies in space lose only weight, maintaining their mass).
• What is better to take with you into space to maintain good physical shape: dumbbells or an expander? (An expander, because you still have to apply force to stretch the springs).
• How many people does it take to carry a load of 120 kg on the surface of the Moon? (Maximum two, since gravity there is 6 times less than on our planet).
• Is it possible to determine north on the Moon using a compass? (No, there is no magnetic field there).
• Is it possible to see Ursa Minor from Venus? (No, the sky on the planet is always covered with dense clouds).

A quiz about space will surely captivate the kids, especially if the winners receive prizes. It can be timed to coincide with the passage of relevant topics in the school curriculum or for Cosmonautics Day. All that is required from the organizer is to show a little imagination and come up with game rules that are interesting for children of this age.

Teacher's opening speech.

- Hello guys! I am glad to welcome you! Do you know what holiday the whole world will celebrate? Right. Aviation and Cosmonautics Day.

— Now we’ll talk about how people began to explore outer space. Since ancient times, the mysterious, enigmatic world of planets and stars has attracted the attention of people. Nowadays, people know that the Earth rotates around the Sun and on its axis, but earlier people believed that it was motionless. When our ancestors began to recognize the Earth, they imagined it as an inverted bowl, supported by a giant elephant, standing importantly on the shell of a huge turtle. This turtle swims in the sea-ocean, and the whole world is covered with a crystal dome of the sky with many sparkling stars. (Image demo)

Thousands of years have passed since then. People began to build ships and,

travel around the world, evidence gradually began to accumulate that the earth was not flat, but spherical.

The famous ancient Greek scientist Aristotle (IV century BC)

was the first to prove that the Earth is round. While observing the Moon, he noticed that the shadow from the Earth falling on it is always round. And only the ball casts a round shadow. In addition, he noticed that ships sailing into the distance always disappear over the horizon.

Another great astronomer, Nicolaus Copernicus, proved that the Earth is in space and revolves around the Sun, making one revolution around it every 365 days.

Many years later, people learned to build aircraft, hot air balloons, airships, airplanes and

began to fly in the Earth's air envelope (atmosphere). But people don't

They stopped there, they were attracted by space. — Guys, what is astronautics? (children's answers)
Cosmonautics
is a set of branches of science and technology that ensure the exploration of outer space and extraterrestrial objects.
— Tell me, who was the first person to fly into space? (children's answers) Correct, Yuri Alekseevich Gagarin
. On April 12, 1961, a citizen of the USSR, Yuri Alekseevich Gagarin (portrait), flew into space. The name of this man is known all over the world. Since childhood, Yura has been interested in airplanes. He was very inquisitive and grasped everything

fly. At the age of 15 he entered a vocational school. But passion

aviation attracted him, and he entered the military aviation school.

He was a brave, resourceful, cheerful man. Rarely got angry and didn't really

He loved quarrels; on the contrary, he made peace with everyone with jokes and laughter. He was attentive to his comrades and helped them in everything. He was perfectly prepared physically. On April 12, 1961, the Vostok rocket flew around our planet in 108 minutes (1 hour 68 minutes). The world held its breath. The world listened to the voice of man,

flying over oceans and countries, and people in these countries repeated:

"Gagarin", "Yuri", "Russia". The earth recognized a simple, charming man who paved the way to the stars. Therefore, on April 12 we celebrate ‹‹Cosmonautics Day››.

Our event is dedicated to this holiday.

Mars. Planet Mars is one of the smallest planets in our Galaxy. Mars is the fourth from the Sun. According to scientists, this is the only celestial body on which life could exist. After all, in the past on the surface

the planet had water. This conclusion can be drawn based on the fact that

large ice caps exist at the poles, and the surface is covered

with many furrows that could have been dry river beds. - Look, they left us a letter on this planet! Only it

encrypted. Task No. 3.
