Educational conversation “What kinds of insects are there?”

Educational conversation in the senior group

“What kinds of insects are there?”

Target:

systematize children’s ideas about the diversity of insects; consolidate knowledge about the general characteristics of insects; learn to establish connections between the features of the external structure and the method of movement, between appearance and the method of protection from enemies; clarify the habitats of insects; develop children’s cognitive and creative abilities, logical and spatial thinking, speech, fine motor skills; cultivate interest in insects and respect for them.

Developmental environment:

pictures and illustrations depicting insects, a visual aid “Insects”, an audio recording “The Dance of the Butterflies” by M. Krasev; book about nature “Miracle in the palm of your hand”, graphic model of an insect, plasticine.

PROGRESS OF THE CONVERSATION

Before the start of the lesson, children look at the visual aid “Insects”, flashcards and illustrations with insects.

— Today we are going to visit our six-legged friends. Who do you think we will talk about? (about insects)

- Right! Guys, by what main signs do we recognize insects? ( All insects have six legs. The body consists of three parts: head, middle part and abdomen)

-What else do insects have? (There are two antennae on the head, some have a proboscis and wings)

— Why do insects need a proboscis and wings?

(They feed with the help of a proboscis; wings are needed to move)

- Right! Many insects fly. Some fly very fast: a dragonfly, for example, can reach speeds of up to 40 km per hour. Other insects walk and jump. Can you name me such insects?

(Beetles that have no wings walk. A grasshopper jumps)

- Indeed, the grasshopper is a good jumper. He can jump a distance of 20 times his body length. And if he releases his wings, he will fly away, gliding, even further.

— Guys, what do insects eat? (Flower nectar, leaves)

— All insects feed differently. Some eat plants. These include grasshoppers. With their jaws, like nippers, they bite off pieces of grass. Butterflies and moths feed on flower nectar using a special proboscis. It spins like a squeaky toy. When the insect is not eating, the proboscis curls into a spiral. The mosquito feeds on plant sap and sweet nectar. And his female feeds on blood. She pierces the skin with her proboscis, like a syringe, and sucks blood. There are also predators among insects. This is a dragonfly - it feeds on flies and mosquitoes. moths. Some ants eat grass seeds, midges, and worms. And the ladybug feeds on the smallest living creatures - aphids. Guys, why are ladybugs called that (the story is accompanied by a demonstration of illustrations)

- Because they secrete “milk”, but not white one. and poisonous yellow, which appears on the bends of the paws in times of danger. In fact, it is blood, acrid and smelling unpleasant. Therefore, neither birds nor lizards eat cows. They can also be called migratory beetles. It turns out that at the end of summer and autumn, cows fly for the winter. And in the spring and early summer they return. But not all cows fly away. Many of them, like other beetles, hide in cracks, in the crevices of tree bark, and in last year’s grass. Therefore, if you burn last year’s grass, you can also burn insects. They must be treated with care and the grass in gardens and orchards must not be burned.

PHYSMINUTE

Children move smoothly to the music “Butterfly Dance”.

D/I “WHO LIVES WHERE”.

Cards with images of insects are laid out in front of you. You must take a card and place it on the picture that corresponds to the habitat of this insect. Children lay out the cards and comment on their choices.

— How does coloring help insects?

Indeed, the color of insects often depends on their habitat. This helps them escape from enemies. Some, thanks to coloring, become invisible. So the thorn bug looks like a thorn growing on a branch. Some butterflies, when sitting quietly, resemble a leaf. Some are invisible on tree bark. The flower mantis is similar to the flower on which it sits. (the story is accompanied by the display of corresponding illustrations) Other insects have such bright colors that enemies do not risk approaching them. Why do you think? (children's answers)

— Insects colored in red-black, yellow and black tones are usually unpleasant to the taste, and birds do not touch them. There are insects, the bombardier beetle, which release a stream of caustic chemicals with a pungent odor at the moment of danger. While the enemy comes to his senses, the beetle runs away.

— Guys, are there many or few insects on earth? (children's answers) What would happen if there were no insects? (children's answers)

Let's play the game "GOOD - BAD".

Are many different insects good or bad? (children's answers)

What else is good? (interesting to watch, beautiful, food for others, etc.)

What is wrong? (can sting, interfere with rest, etc.)

RESULT.

Who did we talk about today? What interesting things did you learn? Children choose to sculpt an insect.
