"Planting onions"

Well-structured work is a source of inspiration and practical knowledge, a sure way to find the way to yourself and fulfillment in life. In the process of such work, interacting with adults and peers, the child gets to know himself and the world around him, and comprehensively develops his own personality. Each child will be happy to demonstrate the harvest they have grown with their own hands and will tell their loved ones with admiration what they did.
Work
- the basis of human life, therefore it is one of the main elements of educational work.
Labor education in preschool educational institutions
- an important means of comprehensive development of the personality of a preschooler through familiarization with the work of adults, introducing children to accessible work activities.
Activities related to experimentation and observation play a large role in the development of the child’s mental sphere - in the development of thinking (operations of analysis and synthesis, comparison, the ability to generalize and draw conclusions, memory, imagination, attention).
In addition, the child learns to be neat, pays attention to details, and does not lose sight of the big picture.
Children experience great interest in such activities and are inclined to independently observe objects of living nature.
It's spring, which means it's time to start planting seedlings.
We have set a goal
: to arouse children's cognitive interest in growing onion in different conditions. Find out about its benefits. Get interested in the stages of the experiment. Determine a more favorable environment for growing onions. To develop children's thinking, creative imagination and curiosity in the process of experimental and research activities in growing onions.
This work will help develop children’s interest in the plant world: create conditions for the research and experimental development of children in the process of implementing the project, identify the most favorable conditions for growing green onions
Observation
is a goal-directed perception and complex cognitive process. Based on the joint activities of children and the teacher, specific knowledge is formed that develops children’s thinking and speech. Our observation is combined with an experiment; it will be long-term. Long-term observation requires mandatory sketching (a diary) and photographic recording of each stage of observation.
Together with the children we prepared the material: wash out the sippy cups,
prepared onions, water, soil, a diary for observation, circles, felt-tip pens for sketching
Put on clothes for work
Then we select four identical bulbs.
take a close look at our bulbs
“The onion is golden. Round, cast. So hard!
There is both a bottom and a top. She is dressed in a hundred clothes
There is one in every garden. After all, the people’s favorite!”
I clarified children’s ideas about onions as a vegetable from which green onions can be grown, which are good for health. Introduced the children to the external features of the onion (round, smooth, covered with husks) Expanded their understanding of the onion, the features of the external structure, learned to find the “bottom” with roots and the top
We place them in different conditions.
Gave children an idea of the need for light, heat, and soil moisture for the growth of bulbs.
First day of observation:
— Draw children’s attention to the fact that the bulbs are smooth and hard. Where should the spine be and where should the top be?
-Question: What does a plant need to grow? -Answer: (Water, heat and light)
-For each natural phenomenon, you can choose your own symbol; - For example: water - blue circle, heat - red, light - yellow, earth - brown, darkness - black - So, let's conduct an experiment...
We put the first onion in a jar with red and blue circles. We will denote the absence of light with a black circle. Cover it with a box of black paper that is lightproof.
We put the second onion in a jar with blue, red and yellow circles.
We put the third onion in a jar without water, but in a warm place and in the light. Glue a white circle on the jar - no water. Red is the presence of heat and yellow is the presence of light.
In the fourth onion we place it in a jar with blue, red and yellow and brown circles. All conditions for growth have been created for her.
She developed in children the correct technique for planting a bulb (plant the bulb bottom down, pressing it firmly to the ground, water it with water. She consolidated knowledge about the needs of plants for soil, heat, water and light.
We planted onions and conducted the first observation of onion growth in different conditions. Involved children in collective work.
On the first day of the experiment, 03/02/2021, we make sketches of the onion and photographs. After seven days, I will invite the children to examine the bulbs and find out what changes have occurred to them.
And write the result in your diary. We watch every Monday until April 1st.
Then she suggested that the children should each try to do it on their own, just like we all did together with the second onion (The second onion was placed in a jar with blue, red and yellow circles.
For you and me, onions are the most common vegetable, but its composition is not as simple as it seems.
-Green onions protect against viral infections. -Salad with green onions will protect against colds and flu. -Onion feathers are useful for hematopoiesis. -Fresh onion greens stimulate the appetite and make any dish more attractive. -The properties of green onions promote digestion and the process of assimilation of food. -Green onions are useful for vitamin deficiency, loss of strength, drowsiness, dizziness, and spring fatigue.
— Green onions contain more zinc than other greens. -Lack of this element can cause hair loss and brittle nails.
— In addition, zinc is involved in the formation of immunity.
-Green onions contain substances that strengthen the heart muscle and the walls of blood vessels, so heart patients and simply weakened people need to pay attention to it.
Then the children worked with the “Vegetables” laptop
At the end of the first day we took a photo for memory
Benefits of green onions:
-Onions are rich in calcium and phosphorus, which is very beneficial for the condition of teeth. - It is recommended to eat onions as much as possible fresh - add them to salads, season soups, cabbage soup, borscht, okroshka, season stewed vegetables, sprinkle on mashed potatoes or boiled new potatoes. Introducing onions into dishes vitaminizes them and improves their taste. In addition, green onions improve the appearance of dishes, especially in combination with vegetables such as beets, carrots, tomatoes, and potatoes. It is used to decorate salads, various appetizers, first and second meat, fish and vegetable dishes. Green onions are necessary for the human body all year round, and especially in winter and early spring.
We'll see you in seven days. The girls and boys did a good job. We agreed to continue observing and recording the data in a diary. grow our onion at home , and use its greens - cut them off and take them to the kitchen to enrich dishes with vitamins.
