Lecture 6

Project activities of students
by geography

The method of projects is focused on the independent activity of students. Educational design has a lot of generally recognized advantages, one of which is a tangible result. cognitive activity students. At the same time, one must not forget that achieving a truly creative result impossible without a seriously organized learning process. In the work on the educational project, the children create new knowledge, but this can only be achieved by relying on previously acquired knowledge, as well as on general educational and subject skills. The project method can be used not only in high school. Moreover, in order to get high-quality projects of high school students, it is necessary to start this work much earlier.

Types of study projects in geography

Let's highlight the possible types of educational projects. By dominant activity: informational, research, creative, applied or practice-oriented. By subject area: mono-subject, inter-subject and over-subject. By duration: from short-term, when planning, implementation and reflection of the project are carried out directly in the lesson or in paired training session to long - lasting from a month or more. By number of participants: individual, group, collective. It can also be considered educational projects according to the degree of independence of students and forms of teacher project management.

Information project is aimed at collecting information about an object or phenomenon with subsequent analysis of the information, possibly generalization and mandatory presentation. Therefore, when planning an information project, it is necessary to determine: a) the object of information collection; b) possible sources that students will be able to use (it is also necessary to decide whether these sources are provided to students or whether they themselves are engaged in their search); c) the form of presentation of the result. Options are also possible here - from a written message, which only the teacher gets acquainted with, to a public message in the classroom or a speech in front of an audience (at a school conference, with a lecture for younger students, etc.).

The main general educational task of the information project is precisely the formation of the skills to find, process and present information, therefore, it is desirable that all students take part in information projects of different duration and complexity. Under certain conditions, an information project can develop into a research project.

research project involves a clear definition of the subject and methods of research. In full, this may be work that roughly coincides with scientific research; it includes substantiation of the topic, definition of the problem and objectives of the study, hypotheses, identification of sources of information and methods problem solving, registration and discussion of the results. Research projects tend to be lengthy and are often student exam papers or competition projects. extracurricular work. The specificity of the subject content of geography makes it possible to organize research projects on the ground.

Practice-oriented project also implies a real result of the work, but unlike the first two, it is applied in nature (for example, arrange an exhibition of rocks for the geography classroom). The type of educational project is determined by the dominant activity and the planned result. For example, a project to study the area may be research in nature, or it may be practice-oriented: prepare an educational lecture on the topic "Mountains (or plains) of the Earth." The preparation of such a project, in addition to the actual subject content, will include issues of analyzing the audience, the peculiarities of addressing it, etc.

Practice-oriented projects in geography include:

Projects to study existing and possible consequences economic activity person (it is not at all necessary to consider only negative examples);

Territory development projects;

Projects to create new facilities, such as cities and towns, national parks, etc.

Projects for the creation of scientific stations, including in extreme conditions natural environment.

The possibilities of using children's LEGO constructors will make the presentations of such projects especially bright and interesting.

These projects do not necessarily have to be long-term and voluminous. You can start small.

Educational project.

Forecast of possible consequences
human economic activity

One modern day farmer used a small plane to seed the clouds, bringing in heavy rainfall to boost vegetable crops. Predict the possible reaction of his near and distant neighbors to these actions. Explain your point of view.

The project is based on understanding the interconnections existing in nature and the law of conservation of matter and energy. The result of the work can be a drawing with a brief, including oral, explanation. This mini project can be offered when studying the topic "Atmosphere" and continue when studying the topic "Hydrosphere".

Each of the farmers living in the neighborhood dreams of harvesting a large crop of vegetables and diligently watering his garden. Imagine possible variants of the structure and composition of rocks in this area. Anticipate the possible consequences of overwatering. Explain your point of view.

When defining a topic creative project to the greatest extent it is required to take into account the individual interests and abilities of its performers.

Creative project.

Reading a page of a stone "book"(6th grade)
What secrets can stones keep?

According to the preserved drawings on the columns of temples, archaeologists learned about life in ancient Egypt. These drawings, like letters, have preserved and conveyed to us the thoughts and feelings of people of distant ages.

Rice. 2. And there are inscriptions made by nature itself. Imagine and "read" the history of the stone, "written" on its surface.

Form of presentation: a miniature essay, which does not need artistic design at all. By the way, it is important not to overload students with unnecessary work: cumbersome descriptions, unnecessary, excessive design.

Creative project.

Australia in Aboriginal poetry(7th grade)

1. Read the poems of Australian Aboriginal poets and make an interlinear translation. Share your impressions.

Red

W. Les Russel

Red is the color
of my Blood;
of the earth,
of which I am a part;
of the sun as it rises, or sets,
of which I am a part;
of the blood
of the animals,
of which I am a part;
of the flowers, like the waratah*,
of the twiningpea,
of which I am a part;
of the blood of the tree
of which I am a part.
For all things are a part of me
and I am a part of them.

Spiritual song of the Aboriginal

Hyllus Maris

I am a child of the Dreamtime
Part of this Land, like the gnarled gumtree***
I am the river, softly singing
Chanting our songs on my way to the sea
My spirit is the dust-devils
Mirages, that dance on the plain
I'm the snow, the wind and the falling rain
I'm part of the rocks and the red desert earth
Red as the blood that flows in me veins
................. I am eagle, crow and snake the glides
Through the rain-forest that clings to
.................the mountainside
I awakened here when the earth was new
There was emu, wombat, kangaroo
No other man of a different hue
I am this land
And this land is me
I am Australia.

* waratah - telop "I, a shrub in eastern Australia that blooms with red flowers.
** Dreamtime - The time of creation, in the mythology of the natives - the time when the Earth and life on it acquired the existing form.
*** gumtree - eucalyptus.

2. Try to make a literary translation of poems. Try to convey the feelings that excite their authors, their main images and thoughts.

Creative project.

Siberian [character] [space] [frost] [...]:
fantasy and reality (grade 8)

Have you come across the phrases: Siberian expanse, Siberian frost, Siberian character? What do these phrases mean? With all the differences in content, is there something that unites them? What other phrases with an epithet Siberian do you know? Write an essay on one of the suggested topics or come up with a topic of your own.

Different types of projects various educational, developmental and educational tasks, so it is useful for students to take part in different projects, and the teacher should take these features into account when planning educational work.

Implementation Methodology and Presentation Forms
individual educational projects

The map is a model of the territory, therefore, educational projects on cartographic modeling are possible. The modeling method helps in studying new characteristics of objects and phenomena.

Educational project.

Plan of the area where
the action of the fairy tale "Geese-swans"

Before starting work, you must preparation stage and remember the content of the tale, either tell it in its entirety, or read it by distributing the text to the students. If there is such an opportunity, then you can distribute cards with tasks to students: Make a plan of the area ... Mark on the plan the route of the girl in search of her brother and back home, as well as the route of movement of the swan geese. To do this: a) read a fairy tale; b) underline in the text what objects need to be depicted on the terrain plan, and make a list of the necessary conventional signs (traditional - forest, river, field - and invented - stove, baba yaga's hut); c) think about how to arrange the selected objects relative to each other friend.

It is necessary to discuss with the sixth graders the plan for the upcoming work. Followed by implementation phase project. Students work alone or in pairs. The first versions of the maps are usually ready in a few minutes and, as a rule, do not differ in the complexity of the constructions. Along a straight line on the field, a magical oven is successively placed, behind it is an apple tree, and across the path is a milky river in jelly banks, behind the river is a forest. Question: "Did the girl cross (or swim) the river?" - makes the guys think about the location of the river. Often there are exclamations in the class: “How then?” Gradually, as they think (not everything is so simple!), the ideas about the depicted area change, become not so primitive and simplified, and students can already explain the location of objects. (- Why is the hut not in a clearing? - It is behind the trees, in the forest, because the girl did not see her from afar, she saw her suddenly.) A few minutes later, other, more interesting terrain plans appear for which you can put marks. It is better to put them to those who want. it reflection stage. We considered the 1st option, more precisely, the first level possible implementation project. Others are also possible, for example, the 2nd option: students still have to work at home and in a week present a revised and beautifully designed plan of the area based on the same fairy tale "Geese-Swans" or new plans drawn up according to the texts of other fairy tales, at the choice of students. In this case, it is possible to identify clearer design requirements: A5 sheet format, use of color. 3rd, even higher level: "Compiling an Atlas of Fairy Lands." After trial work in the classroom, sixth-graders receive a home assignment, in time for the autumn holidays, to draw up a plan of the area where the action of different fairy tales took place. You can only offer Russian folk tales, and then compare the resulting plans - compare the terrain. On all planes there will be a forest, a field and a river. Forest, steppe, field and river, according to V.O. Klyuchevsky, the main elements of Russian nature in terms of their historical significance, and this generalization will significantly expand the boundaries of the project, turning it into an interdisciplinary one. It is possible to compile an "Atlas of Fairy Lands" based on the tales of the peoples of Russia, the peoples of the world.

Seventh-graders are also capable of more capacious projects, for example, group hypothetical continent project, which materializes in separate author's maps and their short description or in The Atlas of a Hypothetical Continent.

A separate group of research projects can be carried out on the basis of historical maps. The issue is the availability of the source. On the famous map of the world from "Geography" by Claudius Ptolemy, scientists distinguish three groups of objects: a) which can be confidently identified with real ones; b) which can be identified with existing ones only conditionally; c) which cannot be identified with existing ones. This is the basis for the development of educational projects.

Research historical and geographical project can be short in time or, conversely, continue throughout the year and be implemented on the following topics: Consider Ptolemy's map and analyze ideas about any components of the geographical environment or parts of the world: seas and oceans, inland waters, land mountains, seas and islands , Africa, Europe, Asia. Work on research projects can continue in the 7th grade according to the map of G. Contarini, compiled after the first voyage of Christopher Columbus.

Educational project.

Africa - part of the Old World on the map of Giovanni M. Contarini

By analyzing the map, seventh graders can:

1. Tell how the geographical position of Africa seemed to Europeans at the end of the 15th - beginning of the 16th century.

2. Compare the real geographical position of Africa with the representations early XVI in.

3. Reveal the configuration of Africa.

4. Analyze the image of the degree network - for example, through how many degrees the parallels are drawn. Calculate the length of Africa from north to south and compare the results with modern data.

5. Tell how ideas about the shape and geographical position of Africa have changed since the time of Ptolemy (see atlas of the 6th grade).

6. Determine whether it is possible to identify groups of objects on the map of Giovanni M. Contarini similar to those highlighted on the map of Ptolemy.

Research project.

Exploring the city of Ples

Let's consider another project that was carried out by a group of students in grades 7-10 during a summer excursion trip to the Ivanovo region. Let's focus on two components of the preparation: compiling and printing "Diaries of a Researcher" for each group and visiting the Levitan Hall of the Tretyakov Gallery. The "Diary of a Researcher" (notebook on a printed basis) consisted of two parts. The first - "Ancient Reach" - was compiled by the teacher, and the second - "Modern Reach" - by students. In order to save space, we will only list the main tasks.

Researcher's diary. Ancient Ples.

12. Cultural leisure (museums).

IV. mass media

13. Newspapers, magazines.

V. Comparison of the living conditions of the population and the urban rhythm of the metropolitan metropolis and a small town

The work was carried out as follows: groups of students (seventh-graders preferred to work on their own and, as it turned out later, they learned no less) went on their own to explore the city, more precisely, its central historical part, in which it is almost impossible to get lost. Small and cozy Plyos, located on the Golden Ring route, is extremely convenient for such research work, because the correlation of theoretical knowledge received in the lessons or gleaned from textbooks on history and geography, for example, about the structure of a medieval city (fortress and settlement), with a specific area and objects on it, or identifying the landscape principle of planning ancient Russian cities, as it turned out, is not an easy task . To study, that is, to look, to observe, to question local residents, to measure in steps (seventh-graders also with a tape measure stocked up in advance) the width of the old Plyos Kamenka streets, to count, as it turned out later, all cats and dogs met on the streets. Independent acquaintance with the city took place on the day of arrival, that is, specially before the city tour planned for the next day. The children learned a lot in three hours. They managed to find out not only the number of students in local school, the number and location of discos held in the city, but also the problems of employment of residents and their low incomes, the demand for certain professions for the summer season in numerous rest houses and sanatoriums, transport problems (“They say there is a fixed-route taxi, but no one has seen it,” it was written in one of the diaries.), etc. The children noted the exceptional friendliness of the residents, who stopped and willingly answered questions, talked about the life of their city. (That was only five years ago.) In the evening there was a discussion of the results. They listened to the tour in a completely different way, comparing their own discoveries with the guide's story, they not only listened, but asked and clarified.

The project method organically fits into the system of student-centered learning and contributes to the organization of a variety of independent activities of students, but at the same time does not exclude or replace other teaching methods.

The typology was proposed by E.S. Polat.

Examples of such projects, for example: a sea city, an Antarctic station, economic development of the territory on the example of the Amazon, are developed in detail and presented in the 7th grade textbook by O.V. Krylova "Geography of continents and oceans"
(M.: Education, p. 117–122, p. 205, p. 198).

This project is fully presented in the textbook by O.V. Krylova "Geography of continents and oceans", 7th grade (M .: Education), in the atlas "Geography of continents and oceans", 7th grade, ed. O.V. Krylova (Publishing house "New textbook", M., 2006). In contour maps "Geography of continents and oceans", 7th grade, ed. O.V. Krylova (Publishing house "New textbook", M., 2006) there is a special tab - a blank of the "Atlas of a Hypothetical Continent".

See: atlas "Geography", 6th grade, ed. O.V. Krylova (Publishing house "New textbook",
M., 2006), p. 14-15, in which the historical map is placed on the entire spread, which allows you to really highlight the objects of these groups on it.

INTRODUCTION

What we call weather

This is just an attempt to bring

Balancing heat and humidity

On the surface of the earth.

In my work “Weather – human living conditions”, I set a goal to find out whether such a mobile, unstable, diverse and capricious element as an air ocean, the momentary mood of which we call weather, can be accurately measured.

And also answer the questions: What is the weather? Does man have control over the weather? Where and how are predictions made? How does weather change affect human health?

The problem is taken from real life.

Our society is developing more and more, moving forward, technologies are improving. However, we, like our distant ancestors, depend on the vagaries of nature, on the change of weather.

Who needs to know the weather in advance?

And without that it's bad when it spoils,

Why even bother going forward?

But all the same, not a day will pass without a person looking at the sky, not inquisitive: how are the clouds there? What will the next day be like? gloomy and rainy or clear or sunny.

In the recent past, weather or a bucket was called sunny windless days. When it was raining, a blizzard was falling, or thick snow was falling, they said that it was bad weather, bad weather outside. Now weather is any state of the atmosphere around us. This is the state of the lower layer of air at a given time and in this place. Why do we say "at this time"? Because during the day they change: air temperature, direction and strength of the wind.

And why - "in this place"? Because the weather in each locality is different.

Perhaps there is nothing more changeable in the environment than the weather: today people are languishing in the heat; tomorrow - get wet in the rain; unexpectedly, a wind blows up, sometimes reaching a hurricane, and then it subsides, gets warmer, and amazing peace is established in nature.

Kozma Prutkov said correctly: “Even in the summer, when going on a voyage, take something warm with you, because can you know what happened in the atmosphere?”

During February, I observed the air temperature, the wind is the movement of air, cloudiness is the state of the air, the precipitation that fell from the air.

Consequently, in all cases of observation, I led the air - the lower layer of air (the troposphere). This is where the weather comes in.

In the course of my work, I carried out independent measurements of the main meteorological elements in the period from February 1 to February 28: air temperature, cloud cover, atmospheric phenomena. To imagine the course of further changes in the weather and to predict it, you need to know all the elements in their totality. Data on atmospheric pressure, relative air humidity, wind direction and speed, precipitation were obtained at a meteorological station.

To establish the effect of weather changes on the physiological state of the human body, information was taken on the number of diseases registered in patients living in the service area of ​​a medical institution.

1. MAIN PART

1.1. Weather and its prediction

Rewriting the meager numbers of air temperature, wind direction, cloud cover, I realized that behind this is the work of many meteorologists. There is a share of work and Uvarov weather forecasters in it.

Observations of the weather in the territory of Uvarovo have been conducted for a long time. At the end of the summer of 1899, a meteorological station. The first observer was the teacher of the former railway school I.S. Petrov. in 1935, by the decision of the government, the Main Directorate of the Hydrometeorological Service of the USSR was established. K.I. Zhirnak became the first head of the Oblovskaya meteorological station. The station made 8 observations per day. Every 3 hours, and noted them in the monthly book. When entering the site, the observer first of all determined the state of visibility, the amount and shape of clouds, their height, wind direction and speed, and temperature. A self-written thermograph hygrograph was installed at the station for continuous recording of air temperature and humidity. The amount of precipitation and its intensity. A searchlight was used to determine the cloud base, and then a reservoir was built. Where was hydrogen produced? Filled them with balls and launched them to determine the height of the clouds. AT winter time station conducted snow surveys. The height of the snow cover was measured. In the presence of an ice crust, its thickness and the percentage of winter crops covered with a crust were determined.

To study the regime of the Vorona River in 1953, a water-measuring post was opened in Uvarovo. The water level and temperature are measured twice a day, and in winter the thickness of the ice. During the flood, when the water rises and falls, 10-12 measurements are made.

Since 1964, the weather station has been located in the area of ​​the 2nd Uvarovo.

Head of the weather station Charykova Elena Alekseevna. Our weather station is 107 years old. Included in the Tambov subdivision, related to the Department of Hydrometeorology and Monitoring environment located in Kursk. The station covers an area of ​​3.5 hectares. Available land at the state farm "Uvarovsky" for all crops, where soil temperature and moisture are measured every other day, the phases of plant development, soil freezing are determined.

The weather station employs 6 people, working in two shifts. Meteorologists use new instruments in their work: IVO - determines the lower limit of cloudiness, barometer - measures air pressure, anemorumbometer - a device for monitoring the direction and speed of the wind. At the observation site there is a psychometric booth for determining temperature and humidity.

Storm information: strong wind, low clouds, snowfall, ice. Everything that is included in the category of elements is urgently transferred to Tambov and Kursk.

1.2 Local weather forecasting

Try to observe various signs:

Shepherd and farmer in infancy,

Looking up at the sky, at the western shadow.

They already know how to predict both the wind and a clear day

And May rains, young fields of joy,

And mrazov early cold, dangerous grapes

So, if the swans, in the bosom of still waters

Splashing in the evening, they will call your arrival,

Or the bright sun sets into sad clouds,

Know: tomorrow the roaring rain will wake the sleepy maidens,

Or the hail beating through the windows ...

A.S. Pushkin

In addition to scientific forecasts, there are others that are no less reliable. They are based on the experience that we call folk signs.

People whose life is closely connected with nature - shepherds, foresters, fishermen or farmers - constantly monitor the weather.

The first and most reliable of the local signs of the weather is the state of the sky, and, above all, cloud cover.

“Although, of course, the vagaries of nature are not so terrible for modern man: they have learned to irrigate the soil and “shrug” the clouds. But our ancestors treated the clouds more reverently: not only the harvest, but also the life of an ancient person sometimes depended on the “behavior” of these heavenly wanderers. Only the elite knew how to negotiate with the clouds - priests, shamans, sorcerers. There was only one thing left for mere mortals: to observe and obey the will of the “air lambs”.

Jesus said, “When you see a cloud rising from the west, immediately say: it will rain, and it happens.”

Augurs, ancient Roman priests, predicted epidemics and natural disasters by the color, shape and nature of the clouds.

• If the clouds change color, it will rain.
• Cirrus clouds - to change the weather
• Light cloud before sunrise

Promises clear weather, dark - bad weather.

• Clouds floating against the wind - to bad weather.
• If the sun sets in a cloud, on another

The day will rain.

At certain times, the weather conditions are repeated, to which the peasants gave their names: May returns of cold weather - frosts in mid-May, reminiscent of winter. Gardeners should definitely take into account these cold snaps during spring plantings. "Sheep cold" occurs in mid-June, after shearing sheep. There are even frosts on the ground, but after them comes the real summer. If it rains on Samson's Day (July 10), then pour it for seven weeks, says folk wisdom and often turns out to be right.

In addition, an observant person will also notice a change in the surrounding world: the behavior of animals, insects, flowers and leaves of plants, the state of water in reservoirs, the appearance of characteristic odors ...

There are many folk signs. I was interested in those that predicted cold weather:

if the cones have grown low on the fir trees, then the frosts will be early, and if at the top, then the cold will come at the end of winter.

2. RESULTS OF RESEARCH

Now, like thousands of years ago, nothing affects the life of each of us so noticeably as the weather - its whims. People, unfortunately, to this day, do not have their own, innate means of protection from the surrounding meteorological conditions.

Unlike the mood of a person, the "mood" of the atmosphere can be accurately measured. I found this out by doing my own research.

2.1 Air temperature, cloudiness, atmospheric pressure

Purpose of this part scientific work- to identify and characterize the patterns of changes in the data of meteorological elements for February for our settlement.

Stroke Graph Analysis average daily temperatures led us to these conclusions. February 2007 was characterized by a predominantly low temperature regime. In early February, the air temperature dropped to -18.6 0 (4.02). This can be seen from the table . The second decade was much warmer. The warmest day was February 15th. The temperature rose to +1.2 0 . The coldest was the third decade of February. On February 23, the temperature was -29.9 0 . The average temperature in February in the city was -9.5 0 and was above the norm by 1.5 0 . The maximum air temperature was +2.3 0 , minimum -23.8 0 . The average air temperature on the snow surface was -30 0 and turned out absolute minimum for the whole month.

Compared to chart changes in average temperatures in February 2006, we observe the following. In February last year, the coldest was the first decade of February, where the temperature dropped to -28.9 0 (9.02). The highest temperature was on February 23 (-1.9 0 ), followed by a period of relative stability with alternating temperatures of -2 0 -4 0 .

And so it was found that the average temperature during the observation period was -14.0 0 , 3 0 below normal.

In March, the average temperature for 15 days was -1.4 0 . The coldest day was March 1 (-6 0 ), the warmest on March 15 (+2.1 0 ). Since March 11, there has been an increase in temperature .

The air temperature strongly depends on the state of cloudiness, and miscalculations in the forecast of the amount of cloudiness entail errors in the temperature forecast as well.

The obtained data on cloudiness for February indicate that there were 17 cloudy days. Days with changing cloudiness 6 and 5 days was clear and frosty weather. When calculating the cloudiness, the lower and upper boundaries of the clouds were taken into account.

Each weather has its own set of features. Usually they are closely related to each other. In winter, an increase in pressure is a sign of a cold snap.

From table we see that the most pronounced increase atmospheric pressure air is observed at the most pronounced low temperatures. Namely 23.02, 24.02, 25.02, 26.02, 27.02. The pressure was measured in millibars.

After processing the collected information about directions and speed

wind, I found that the prevailing wind directions in February were north (24 days) and southeast (15 days). Analyzing the "wind rose" we see that the least wind blew from the east. The weather was calm for 2 days. Max Speed wind was on February 6 and 19 and amounted to 14 m/s.

In February 2006, the southeast (21 days) and west (18 days) wind prevailed . The weather was calm for 6 days. The wind speed was the highest in the third decade of the month and amounted to 12 m/s. It can be seen from the analysis that in February the southeast wind predominantly prevails in our area.

At the beginning of March 2007, the southeast wind (5 days) and southwest (4 days) also prevailed .

During the specified period, it was recorded that 11 out of 28 days it rained. The largest number precipitation fell on February 9 -12mm. During the month, precipitation fell in the form of snow . It snowed for 20 days. The maximum snow cover height was 26 cm, that is, it was close to the long-term average values.

Last February also 11 days out of 28 had precipitation, mostly snow and hoarfrost. The greatest amount of precipitation fell on February 17 and amounted to 15mm. At the beginning of February, the height of the snow cover was 44 cm.

The beginning of March was associated with heavy snowstorms and snowfall. As a result, the height of the snow cover reached 68 cm, that is, it increased by 24 cm in relation to 1.02.

At the beginning of March 2007 very little precipitation fell (5.8 mm). Precipitation fell in the form of snow on 1, 5, 6 March. There was no precipitation on the rest of the days. It rained on March 15th.

Such atmospheric phenomena as fogs and haze were also observed. The fogs were due to the cooling of the air. They arose at night or in the morning, sometimes remained dense in the daytime.

Haze is a phenomenon that has the same nature as fog. It is frosty, replete with ice crystals, but with it the transparency of the air worsens.

In fog, in calm, frosty weather, frost appeared on the branches of trees and wires. It could be observed on February 4, 5, 25, 26 . 10 days of precipitation fell in the form of hoarfrost. It was drizzling for 2 days - liquid precipitation, consisting of small drops, which are typical for the warm season.

On February 14, 7 atmospheric phenomena were recorded at once during the day (haze, fog, snow, blizzard, snow, drizzle, ice), which happens very rarely. One phenomenon was followed by another. Ice was only that day in the form of a dense layer of ice deposited on branches and wires. This happened when the fog drops were cooled at a temperature of 0.7 0 . On February 19, no atmospheric phenomena were observed.

2.3 The impact of weather changes on the human body

The English say: "There is no bad weather, there are inappropriate clothes!" Is it so? It seems not, judging by the observations.

With the help of the skin and lungs, we learn about changes in temperature, air humidity, precipitation, wind, and the purity of the air. Vision allows us to see the play of the sun's rays, the pattern and colors of the landscape, clouds, fogs. With the help of hearing, we perceive thunderstorms, hurricanes, the sound of the sea, mountain rivers.

During one day, not only the temperature changes, but also the pressure and humidity of the air. With an increase in humidity, hypertension is exacerbated. Air pressure contributes to the occurrence of hypertensive crises. When weather and meteorological conditions change, myocardial infarctions and cerebral strokes are observed.

Changing the light regime affects the central nervous system, thyroid gland, metabolism in the body.

To establish the nature of the impact of weather changes on the human body, three age categories were selected:

Group 1 - children (10-14 years old inclusive)

Group 2 - teenagers (15-17 years old inclusive)

Group 3 - adults (18 years and older).

This was done in order to reveal the nature of the influence weather conditions on different age groups and the occurrence of certain diseases associated with them. The table shows the main stages of processing data on the most common diseases that were registered in February in the service area of ​​the medical institution.

It turned out that a regular increase in respiratory diseases among all age groups can be clearly traced.

When analyzing statistical data, it was revealed interesting fact: patients who fell ill with influenza in February turned out to be 220 people, and in January only 1 person fell ill with influenza. So, the peak of this disease fell on February.

From table It can be seen that diseases such as high blood pressure, heart disease and pneumonia are common in adults.

population groups. They are absent in children and adolescents.

Diseases nervous system characteristic of children and adults. This is due to the fact that due to the impact on the body of factors external environment the body of a child and an adult fails. They feel unwell. All this affects the psycho-emotional state of these population groups. All age groups suffered from the consequences of the air environment, which were accompanied by injuries, but especially adults - 36 people.

Based on the foregoing, we conclude that most of the diseases occur in the cold months of the year. These are, first of all, cardiovascular diseases, flu, bronchitis, pneumonia.

3. CONCLUSION

During my research, I found the following:

With the current level of development of science and technology, forecasting the weather for the future remains a problem. So short-term weather forecasts for a given area are rarely accurate with a lead time exceeding two days. Long-term weather forecasts (more than 30 days) are ineffective, and long-term climate forecasts are in the nature of arbitrary estimates.

The goal that was set at the beginning of the work, I have achieved. And here's what happened:such snowy winters as it was in February 2006 have not been for many years. The snow cover was 60 cm, in the fields - 47 cm, and in places of heavy drifts it reached 70 cm.

This winter marked the most low temperatures: February 8 -35.1 0 . Meanwhile, the average temperature in February in the first decade, according to long-term observations, is -10.7 0 . And this year it has developed at the level of -22.8 0 . On the other hand, it became significantly warmer in the last ten days of February, and a maximum temperature of 0.8 0 is below zero.

February 2007 was warmer. Its average temperature in the city was 1.5 0 .Snow cover was 26cm, 21cm lower than last year. The first decade of March was warm with low rainfall (5.8mm).

We will see what this spring will be like, what surprises it will bring us. And what awaits us tomorrow, we learn from the weather forecast.

Weather is the conditions for human habitation. And now, no matter how insulting it is, a person has no power over the weather.

Despite all life's collisions, "nature has no bad weather, all weather is grace." I'm sure about it.

The purpose of the lesson: in the process of working on the project, students should become familiar with the main types of waves in the oceans and the causes of their occurrence; consolidate skills in working with a map of the oceans; develop skills in group work and work with a personal computer; learn how to present your work.

The teacher prepares templates for booklets for groups in advance (use Microsoft Office Publisher layouts), creates a folder of photographs “Waves in the Ocean” and a text file “Earth Records. Waves. Students can use these blanks to compile their booklet. But if you have more than one lesson to study this material, then you can complicate the tasks for students and ask them to independently find photos and record-breaking material for their topic on the Internet.

Before group work, students should be told that each group is studying their material, preparing a booklet on it, then defending their work. During the defense, other groups should ask questions on the topic of the group for clarification and understanding of the material. Since at the end of the lesson there is a test task for all types of waves for understanding the topic for evaluation.

The work in the lesson should be organized in several stages.

1. Preparatory stage.

Topic update:

1. Who was at sea and watched the waves? Tell about them.
2. Remember the sensations while swimming and on the boat?
3. Can the water in the oceans be calm, like in a pan?
4. What causes the water in the sea (ocean) to move?
5. How do these movements manifest themselves?

Divide the class into 3 groups, distribute task cards.

2. Group work to study the topic. Work on task cards.

Card for group 1. "Study of wind waves"

Card for group 2. "Tsunami Study"

Card for group 3. "The Study of the Ebb and Flow"

3. The stage of designing a mini-booklet according to your assignment.

Students fill out a 4-page booklet template prepared by the teacher. On page 1, students enter the topic of the booklet (“Wind waves” or “Tsunami” or “Ebb and flow”) and insert a picture on their topic, selected from the “Waves” photo folder.

2 page - "Causes of occurrence ...". 3 page "Features", using the material of the text file "Earth Records. Waves” (choose the appropriate one for this type of wave). 4 page "Authors of the booklet", the names of the students are entered.

4. Stage of listening to group reports.

At this stage, the students speak from the group, demonstrate their booklet through the projector, explaining the causes of the waves and describing their features. Students of other groups ask questions on the topic of the group for clarification and understanding of the material.

5. Stage The final test task "The movement of water in the ocean."

If technical capabilities allow, filling in the table can be carried out on a computer, followed by mutual verification. If not, then you can print the table on cards so as not to waste time recording the characteristics of the waves. In the table, students only put down the signs “+” and “-” opposite the corresponding types of waves. (*1, 2)

The final stage is the mutual verification of the completed table. As practice shows, the vast majority of students cope with work on "4" and "5".
