The new federal educational standards pay special attention to the organization of extracurricular activities of schoolchildren, as well as their involvement in project and research activities.
In order to cope with the tasks set by the GEF, special scientific societies of students are organized in schools, thematic holidays are held, aimed at forming a positive attitude in the younger generation towards modern science. If you correctly think over the scenario of the line of the opening of the Day of Science, you can send children to active mental activity. Currently, many educational institutions spend decades of science, in which students are offered many interesting events.
The significance of the days of science
Science Day in elementary school, the scenario of which will be presented a little later, is aimed at stimulating the cognitive activity of younger students. It is on such days, when the children get the opportunity to feel like real researchers, the prestige of high-quality education increases, the kids get acquainted with interesting people: scientists, laboratory assistants, medical workers.
Rules for
In order to make the scenario of Science Day at school vivid and memorable, we offer useful instructions.
Changes in the Russian modern school take place annually, and not only in the final test versions in the form of the Unified State Examination and the Unified State Examination, but also in the content of the educational disciplines.
The new educational standard focuses on self-learning. The developers of such innovations are convinced that the guys themselves should be interested in science, strive to develop individual and collective projects, conduct research under the guidance of a teacher.
The scenario of the Science Day at school must necessarily take these aspects into account, stimulate the independence of the younger generation.
Conference for kids
The scenario of the “Science Day” holiday at the school may include a research conference as a final event, in which students can present their peers with the results of their own research and experiments.
The most common type of scientific activity at school, which children can carry out independently, is research. For many years, students of gymnasiums and lyceums have been offering to deal with it, and after the introduction of second-generation standards, such activity has become an indispensable element of the educational process in ordinary schools.
The scenario of Science Day at school suggests a mini-conference at which the children will gain experience in public speaking. In addition, kids will be able to adjust their intellectual abilities, learn how to strive for self-development.
Intellectual tournament
In the scenario of Science Day at school, you can include an intellectual game, the rules of which are similar to the television version of the program “What? Where? When?". During the tournament, erudition, creative and logical thinking develops, the ability to work in a team is stimulated .
The essence of the game is that on a parallel from each class a team and 5-6 guys are selected. The host voices the question, the guys together look for an answer to it, write it down on a piece of paper. The team that gives the most correct answers wins.
Meet interesting people
How to effectively organize the opening of Science Day at school? The scenario can be built so that it has a meeting with scientists working in various branches of Russian modern science. Kids will have the opportunity to ask them questions, to understand the significance of conducting scientific experiments.
For example, in the framework of the student conference, you can first plan a lecture with the participation of representatives of higher education, and then proceed to work in sections. Awarding of participants, prize-winners and winners can be carried out not by teachers, but by scientists invited to the conference.
Workshops
The scenario for conducting Science Day at school can include seminar lessons that are devoted to getting to know the biographies of great Russian and foreign scientists.
In the framework of such seminars, primary school students themselves can become active participants , having prepared vivid presentations, stands, oral messages, and the functions of teachers will include only consultation of the seminar participants.
Holiday option
How to organize and spend Science Day in elementary school? The scenario of the event, which can start this holiday, is designed for students in grades 3-4.
Opening can be arranged in the assembly hall. The presenters are high school students and children from elementary school.
High School Student: Good afternoon, friends! Today we will celebrate an important and responsible holiday - Science Day!
First host: So what? After all, we schoolchildren are not scientists!
High school student: The thing is that we get to know different sciences at school, so Science Day is a holiday for all students.
The second leader: If only I could become a famous scientist!
First host: Oh, which one of you is a scientist? You are a girl. A real scientist has glasses, a tie, for example, like a professor from the work “Deniskins Stories”.
The second leader: Not true! Scientists are different, among them a lot of women. And it's not about clothes. In order to become a real professor, you need to study well, to become an educated person.
Senior student: Everything is true, but not skills and knowledge are the most important factors in order to become a real scientist. Such a person must think quickly, be responsible for his actions, not be afraid to make independent decisions. It is during our studies at school that we need to learn this, and therefore today will be a good training for everyone.
Next, in the scenario of the holiday "Science Day" in elementary school, we include the game. The guys are divided into several teams, each of which has ten people. Groups receive flags of a certain color and begin their journey into the world of different sciences, which are located in the classrooms of mathematics, physics, chemistry, astronomy, geography, biology. Here, elementary school students are waiting for fascinating tasks and questions, thanks to which they will be able to make their first scientific discoveries and feel like genuine professors.
As tasks are completed, each team must assemble a picture consisting of separate puzzles. Successful completion of all tests offered in "scientific" rooms gives the right to receive one puzzle. The team that most quickly completes all competitive trials wins.
Questions for the game
What questions can be included in the scenario of the event for Science Day at school? For example, in the astronomy office you can hang a map of the starry sky, attach a photo of the Sun on the board, prepare cards with the names of the constellations for teams. The “representative of the space flight control center” manages this office.
He invites students to travel the solar system. First, the knowledge of potential "astronauts" in the form of a warm-up is tested. The children list the names of the planets of the solar system, their number, talk about what a comet, constellation, satellite is.
Then the teams receive cards with the image of the constellations: they must find them on the map of the starry sky. For each correctly completed task, the guys are given a planet. After collecting all the planets, they arrange them in the correct order in remoteness from the Sun.
As an additional (bonus) task, the “representative of the space flight control center” invites the children to tell about all the planets.
For him, young astronomers have the opportunity to get "stars" that will be useful to them in summarizing the game.
In the world of wildlife
In addition to astronomy, many other sciences can be included in the game, the study of which involves research and experimentation. How to involve children in this difficult subject on Science Day at school? The scenario is interesting only if its events become an incentive for the subsequent cognitive activity of younger students. For example, during a game in the biology cabinet, a young girl who will be associated with Life will meet the guys.
Sitting in a circle, the guys alternately call the birds, animals, plants that are in a particular region. Then they solve the crossword with the whole team, receiving points for the correct answers. After “biology” tests the knowledge of children by the nature of their native land, young connoisseurs of wildlife receive a responsible task. They should plant a flower in a glass with the ground, which they will care for in their class.
In a world of fascinating chemistry
Is it possible to do without experiments on the day of science and creativity at school? Scenarios for a variety of games at the stations may include tasks that are related to household chemicals. Primary school students do not yet have theoretical knowledge on this subject, but they have an idea about starch, iodine, toothpaste, washing powder, soap, food colors. In the classroom, a real wizard is waiting for the guys. He invites students to a real chemical laboratory, demonstrates entertaining experiments for them, and asks the children to assist him.
Queen of Sciences
It is hard to imagine science without mathematics. Whatever scenario is used to organize Science Day at school, tasks related to logical thinking must be included in it. For example, as part of a journey through “scientific rooms” in a math class, the team meets a real clown.
To the surprised looks of the students, the clown replies that he loves not only mathematics, but also various forms of art. The team selects one person who receives a card that indicates which mathematical figure or action the student should demonstrate to his comrades. If the answer is correct, the whole team gets points.
Then the guys guess various rebuses together and answer the questions that the clown asks them.
To check the level of logical thinking of the younger generation, the clown offers children unusual tasks. For example, you need to determine how many pears fell from a tree if 25 apples and 9 pears grew on it.
The bonus will be the task of the following: in one bus there were 15 boys, and in the second there were 15 girls. 5 boys moved to the girls, but the driver did not want to drive a crowded bus. Then 5 people, among whom were both boys and girls, returned to the first bus. Who was more on the buses: boys or girls?
Conclusion
Research activities currently in secondary schools have begun to pay due attention. The reason for this interest is the introduction of a new generation of federal standards in schools. In order for the younger generation to be interested in independent development, building individual educational paths for themselves, scenarios of days and decades of science are developed within the framework of schools.
In addition to entertaining games, lectures with representatives of higher education, subject Olympiads, project and educational research activities are necessarily planned as part of the developed activities. As a logical ending to such a celebration of science, one can consider holding a training and research conference, where, in addition to teachers, senior students will participate in the sections as a jury.
The logical conclusion of all events will be the rewarding of participants and winners of events held as part of Science Day.
