Progress of the lesson

The guests sit against the wall, the children come out of the bedroom and greet the guests.

Q: Children, guests came to us today, and it is customary to greet guests.

(children say hello)

Q: Children, you know that you didn’t just say hello: you gave a piece of health because you said: “Hello!”, i.e. wished health to our guests. No wonder the Russian proverb says: “If you don’t say hello, you won’t get health!”

Q: Guys, what kind of person do you consider healthy?

Children answer: he plays sports, doesn’t get sick, trains himself, eats right, etc.

Q: You said everything correctly. Today we will talk to you and explore one very healthy food product. And which one exactly, you will now find out.

There are cards on the chairs, take one and come to me to listen to the task.

- Look at the back of your card; whoever has a green square, go to the table with a blue cube; whoever has a blue square, go to the table with a green cube. Collect the picture. What did you get? (goat, cow)

Q: Guys, have you guessed what we will be talking about?

The children answer.

Maybe after solving the riddle you will understand what I'm talking about. I'm asking a riddle:

White water will be useful to all of us. Make whatever you want from white water: Cream, yogurt, butter for our porridge, Cottage cheese for a pie, eat it, Vanyushka, my friend!

Q: Guys, in order for us to finally be convinced that we are right, I will take out my magic chest, maybe it will help us.

(I take out and show a sheet with an inscription made with milk)

- Guys, do you see anything? (No). How can we read this?

(music sounds from the chest)

- Oh, there's a note here. Katya (Ksyusha) read what is written.

READS: heat.

Q: Children, it says heat, so this sheet needs to be heated, how can we do this? (children's expected answers)

To do this, we need to conduct an experiment - heat the leaf with something hot. I have prepared the iron, tell me how to handle electrical appliances?

(children answer while the iron is heating up)

— I stroke the inscription and read the word “milk” in unison. Children, sit down on the chairs. This is the topic of our research. By the way, the word “milk” is spelled milk. When heated, the milk boiled, darkened, and the word became visible. This is such magical ink!

Q: Guys, what do you know about milk?

D: Milk is a white liquid, it comes from a cow, it is very healthy, especially for children and the elderly.

Q: What are the benefits of milk?

D: it contains proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, all this is necessary for the human body.

Q: Maxim Khromtsov will talk about the benefits of milk.

Let me generalize: milk contains many useful elements - calcium strengthens bones, eliminates fatigue, vitamin “E” prevents our body from aging, vitamin “A” is needed for growth and good vision.

“Milk contains many useful vitamins and substances. Drink milk more often so that caries disappears, so that your bones are strong and your head doesn’t hurt, so that your mood is always cheerful.”

Q: Milk contains a substance “lactose” - this is a special substance - milk sugar. There are people whose bodies cannot digest lactose, so they cannot drink milk. Milk contains casein. This substance gives milk a white color.

Q: Guys, tell me, what proverbs and sayings about milk do you know?

Children call:

• wet behind the ears;
• If there was a cow, there would be milk;
• Burenushka is black and milk is white;
• milk in a cow will not go sour;
• there is milk, but it’s far away;
• a cow in the yard, milk on the table;
• It is good for him to drive cows who knows how to milk milk;
• you burn yourself on milk, you blow on the water.

Q: And now you and I will solve a crossword puzzle in which hidden words mean products that are prepared with milk. The first word in our crossword puzzle is the topic of our lesson. What are we talking about?

Children: about milk.

Q: Correct, the first word is “milk”, let’s check.

Then the children ask riddles to each other.

KATYA: To make life beautiful, spread... butter on your bread;

VERA T.: What are these white grains? Not grain or snowflakes, the milk turned sour, and we received... cottage cheese on time;

ROMA: It comes in chocolate, children are very happy with it. It's more satisfying than a glazed hot dog... cheese;

VERA YU.: Liquid, not water, white, not snow. Our milk product (kefir) starts with “K”.

Q: Guys, we guessed the crossword puzzle, you named everything correctly. Stand in a circle, now we will play the game “Name the dairy product”

PHYSICAL: Playing with a ball.

Q: I have a ball in my hands, to the music we will pass the ball to each other. When the music ends, whoever has the ball names a dairy product.

Q: Guys, now that you are turning into scientists, we must study milk. Please sit down at the tables, remember which table you are sitting at.

Experiment 1. Testing milk for fat content. Add food coloring to a bowl of milk, then drop in some dishwashing detergent with a pipette. It turns out to be “fireworks in a plate.” Milk contains fat molecules. When mixed, soap and fat move together, hence the color change. Bottom line: soap, breaking down fat, causes a storm in the plate.

Experiment 2 “Milk curdling”

B: Now I will give you half a lemon. The strongest boy on the team will squeeze the juice from the lemon into a plate of milk, and the girls will stir the milk. Let's see what we can do.

Conclusion: Milk coagulation has occurred. Remember: you cannot drink juice immediately after milk.

IN:

A priceless treasure in my hand, everything for life is in milk: proteins, fats and carbohydrates - gifts from Mother Nature.

And also a miracle - vitamins, all illnesses can be overcome with them!

Q: Children, who gives us milk? There is a surprise from Buryonka in the magic chest. What do you think she might have sent you? (children's answers).

The cow sends greetings to you all, drink milk, children, you will be healthy! (I take out the glazed cheese curds and treat them to the children).

Q: Children, remember, we started our conversation with an invisible letter. Now we will conduct a third experiment with you. You will take a brush and draw a picture or write a letter with milk. And at home, your parents will warm up your work, and you will check what happened. And it’s time for our guests to leave, let’s say goodbye to them.

RELEVANCE OF THE PROJECT

Milk is an essential and indispensable baby food product. Milk has high nutritional value and is one of the richest vitamins needed for the formation of bones and teeth.

Relevance
Human health!
What could be more important? Scientists have long proven that 40% of our health depends on a healthy and balanced diet. However, there is a problem that is of a nationwide nature. It is associated with mass falsification of dairy products. We are talking, first of all, about replacing natural milk fat with palm oil. If this situation continues, then in the next 30-40 years the health status of the Russian population will sharply deteriorate: the percentage of mortality, infertility, and cancer will increase. This trend is associated with improper and artificial nutrition. Therefore, every person can and should take care of their health and the health of their loved ones. Observing the children in the group, talking with them, it became clear that not all children love milk, dairy and fermented milk products. It is very unpleasant when food goes to waste. And we decided to fight this, especially since we grew up in a village, and we know firsthand about the benefits of milk, what miracles it works in curing some diseases and how difficult it is to get it. This is how the “Milk Miracle” project was born, which was intended to be short-term, but as it deepened, the children began to have more and more new questions. For example: “Why is milk white?”, “Why are newborn children given milk to drink, and not compote, which also contains vitamins?”, “How much milk can you drink at once?” Therefore, the project turned from short-term to long-term.
