Ecological tales about the air. History of the air bubble
(for children of senior preschool age)
Program content: To form an idea of air, its properties (colorless, weighty, odorless, lighter than water, moves); about the role in the life of living beings.
Develop interest in cognitive activity and experimentation.
Develop thinking, learn to draw conclusions during experiments, and justify judgments.
Materials and equipment: Hanging scales; 2 identical balloons; a glass of water for each; cocktail straws; an empty glass for everyone; transparent container with water; 2 candles; jar; matches; fans for everyone; plastic bags for everyone; sharp chopsticks for everyone; soap bubbles on the floor of the group; cards - designations of air properties; Frog toy; balloons in a bunch.
Preliminary work: Conversation “Living and non-living nature”; looking at illustrations in the encyclopedia; observing the wind while walking.
Educator:Guys, today we will have an unusual activity.
Remember, we talked about living and non-living nature. Let's remember what belongs to living nature (people, animals, plants)?
What about non-living nature (stones, water, air, soil, stars)?
Well done! Now listen carefully to the riddle. If you solve it, you will find out what we will talk about in class today.
We need him to breathe
To inflate the balloon.
With us every hour,
But we don’t see it.
That's right, it's air.
Guys, what do you know and can say about air?
Our entire planet is shrouded in a blanket of air. Air is everywhere: on the street, in the room, in the ground, in the water, and even inside us.
(Sounds are heard from behind the doors)
Little Frog: Oh, help, save me, I’m flying!!!
Educator: Who is that screaming there (opening the doors)?
(A frog flies into the room on balloons.)
Hello little frog! How did you come to us?
Little Frog: Hello guys! I was walking with balloons, but suddenly the wind picked me up and carried me, carried me and brought me to your kindergarten.
How interesting you are here! What are you doing here? Can I stay?
Educator: Of course, stay. Today the guys and I are talking about air.
Little Frog: About the air? What is air? I heard something about him, but never met him. Maybe he doesn't exist at all?
Educator: Wait a minute, frog. I have never met him either, but I know that he is around us.
Little Frog: I don't see anything. Where is he? Where did he hide?
Educator: He didn't hide anywhere. Guys, let's prove to the frog that there really is air. I invite everyone to the mini-laboratory so that we can conduct experiments like real scientists (children move to the tables).
Experience No. 1 "How to catch air."
Educator: Take plastic bags from the table and try to catch the air.
Twist the bags. What happened to the packages? What's in them? What is he like? Do you see him?
Little Frog: I'm sure there's nothing there!
Educator: Fine! Let's check. Take a sharp stick and carefully pierce the bag. Bring it to your face and press it with your hands. What do you feel?
(The teacher brings the bag to the frog.)
Little Frog: I don't see it, but I feel it.
Educator: Well done frog! You yourself made the correct conclusion that air cannot be seen, but it can be felt.
Let's put a card on the easel indicating the properties of air: “Air has no color. It's transparent."
Experience No. 2"What's in the glass?"
Educator: Look, I have a glass in my hands. Do you think it's empty?
Little Frog: It is clear to everyone that there is nothing in it.
Educator: We'll check it now. We will need a container of water and this glass.
Let's turn the glass upside down and slowly lower it into the water. Please note that the glass must be held level.
What do you see? Does water get into the glass?
We pull it out. Look, the outside of the glass is wet, but what about the inside?
(The teacher invites the children to touch the inside of the glass.)
Guys, why didn't the water get into the glass? What can be concluded?
That's right, there is air in the glass, it doesn't let water in.
Now, let's try to lower our glass into the water, but we will hold it slightly tilted. Look closely, what appeared in the water?
We see air bubbles. Where did he come from?
What can be concluded?
When a glass is lowered into water, it gradually displaces the air from it, taking its place.
Little Frog: Guys, I also remembered how you can see the air! I sat in the pond and blew bubbles into the water through a straw. It was so much fun.
Educator: Well done frog! You told me another interesting experiment with air.
Experience No. 3"Air is lighter than water"
Educator: In front of you are glasses of water and cocktail straws. Insert the straws into the water and blow into them. What do you see? What comes out of the water with bubbles? Where does it come from?
Little Frog: Why do bubbles rise to the surface?
Educator: Because air is lighter than water.
Let's put another card on the easel - designating the property of air “Air is lighter than water.”
Guys, frog! I have a little surprise for you.
(The teacher takes out soap bubbles).
What is this? What do you think is inside the bubbles? Let's play a little. At first, some children will cheat them, others will catch them, and then vice versa.
Physical exercise “Soap bubbles”.
Now let's go to our laboratory. New discoveries await us!
Do you think air has weight?
Little Frog: Of course not!
Educator: Want to check it out?
Experience No. 4 “Does air have weight?”
(The teacher picks up a balloon.)
What's in my hands? Why is it called that? Well done!
We will need scales and two identical balloons.
You can make these scales yourself from a string and a stick (shows scales).
I hung balls on both sides. Look, the scales are balanced now.
I'll take a sharp stick and poke one of the balls.
What happened? What can be concluded?
The balloon with air sank down, and the burst balloon rose up. This means that a balloon with air is heavier than a balloon without air.
We place a new card on the easel indicating the property of air “Air has weight.”
Little Frog: I'm wondering if the air has a smell? What do you guys think?
Educator: Try to suck in air through your nose. Does it smell?
We put the following card “Air has no smell”
Little Frog: Then why does the kitchen smell like pies, and the meadow smells like flowers?
Educator: Wait, don't rush. I'll try to explain it to you. The air has no smell, but by moving it can bring it to our noses.
Little Frog: Can he still move?
Educator: Tell me, little frog, how did you end up visiting us today?
Little Frog: The wind brought me.
Educator: Guys, what is wind? What kind of wind is there?
Wind is the movement of air. Can we feel the air moving? How about seeing?
While walking, we often observe air movement (trees swaying, clouds running, a pinwheel spinning, steam coming out of our mouths).
Can we feel air movement in the room? How?
Experience No. 5"Air Movement"
Take the fan in your hands and wave it in front of your face. How did you feel?
And if we opened the window now, what would we feel? Well done!
So, we conclude that air moves and put a new card indicating the properties of air.
Guys, today we talked a lot about air, its properties, but we forgot to say the most important thing that air is necessary for all living things. We can't live even 5 minutes without it.
Try it, close your mouth and pinch your nose with two fingers. Don't breathe.
Why did you remove your hand and open your mouth? What were you missing? Did you feel good without air?
Let's do another experiment.
Experience No. 6 “Why does the flame go out?”
Let's take 2 candles and light them. Let's cover one of them with a jar and watch what happens.
Why did the candle in the jar go out?
The jar ran out of oxygen and formed carbon dioxide. In the same way, we cannot live without oxygen in the air.
Tell me guys, where does oxygen come from?
Little Frog: So if there were no plants, we couldn't breathe?
Educator: That's right frog!
Children, what conclusion can we draw?
It is necessary to plant more plants and not pollute the air with exhaust gases. We need to protect our planet and take care of clean air.
Well done boys! You worked very well, learned a lot, and I hope you remembered a lot.
Let's use the flashcards to remember everything we talked about in class.
1. Air has no color.
2. Air is lighter than water.
3. The air has no odor.
4. Air has weight.
5. Air moves.
6. We breathe air. He is part of nature.
Little Frog: Thank you guys for such an interesting activity. Now I'm the smartest frog in the world!
Educator: Be sure to come see us again.
Little Frog: I want to give you these balls. Now I know why they are called airborne!!!
For parents:
Look carefully at the poster with your child.
It encodes the basic properties of air.
- air has no shape
- air has no color
- the air has no taste
- air is invisible
- the air has no smell.
To prove this, you and your child will have to
carry out a series of experiments.
Experiment No. 1 "Air has no form"
You will need:
- three balls of different shapes.
Target:
prove that air has no form.
Progress of the experiment:
A child inflates three balloons of different shapes.
What's happening:
The air takes the form of the balloon you just inflated.
Conclusion: air has no form.
Experiment No. 2 "Air has no color"
You will need:
paper .
Target: show that the air is transparent.
Progress of the experiment: compare air to opaque objects.
Let's take a sheet of paper. It is opaque - through it we cannot see surrounding objects. And everything is visible through the air.
Conclusion:the air is transparent, since surrounding objects are visible through it.Experiment No. 3 "Air has no taste"
Progress of the experiment:
Ask your child the following questions: does air have a taste? (NO) Can we try it? (YES) Open your mouth and inhale. Do you feel anything? (no) What conclusion can we draw? Does the air have a taste?
Conclusion: This means the air has no taste.
Experiment No. 4 "Invisible air"
You will need:
- two bowls of water and a glass.
Pick up an empty glass and ask your baby:
Do you think this glass is empty? Look carefully, is there anything in it? Now we will check it.
Hold the glass straight and lower it slowly. What happens? Why doesn't water get into the glass? What's stopping you from lowering your glass?
Conclusion: There is air in the glass, it does not let water in.
And now you again offer to lower the glass into the water, but now hold the glass not straight, but slightly tilted.
What appears in the water? (bubbles). Where did they come from? (Air leaves the glass; water takes its place) Why did we at first think that the glass was empty? (Because we cannot see the air, it is transparent)
Conclusion: Air is invisible, but surrounds us everywhere.Experiment No. 5 "Air has no smell"
You will need:

Preface.
Who gave life to the Earth?
Who gave life to the Earth? Who should she be grateful to? She inherited no more than anyone else: mostly a very small amount of oxygen. You can't live on this.
The planet will not survive. The star will not live. The Sun will not live. But the Earth lives. The Earth breathes oxygen!
And all this out of nothing. Literally out of nowhere. With your labor. With your worries.
Here it is, our Earth.
With a capital letter Earth.
Although it is often written with a small letter.
"Water and Air"
Once upon a time there was an ocean, it had a very, very large amount of water and the atmosphere was a very large amount of air. Their life was boring. No one lived in the ocean, nothing grew, not a single plant. No one lived in the air either. The air decided to visit the water. The water rejoiced at his arrival. They began to be friends. After some time, the ocean noticed that plants appeared in its water - algae, fish, crabs, and beautiful shells formed. The ocean was very happy and told the air about it. And the air was also very joyful, he told his friend the ocean that when he woke up in the morning, he heard birds singing, saw colorful butterflies flying, everything around him became bright and beautiful. They realized that this happened because of their friendship, just as the ocean gives water to the atmosphere, and the atmosphere gives air to the ocean. You can’t live without water, just like you can’t live without air, and you can’t live without air, just like you can’t live without water. That's how good it is to have friends!
"The Great Debate"
Queen Atmosphere and King Neptune once argued about which of them was more important. Queen Atmosphere says that it is impossible to live on Earth without air. And Neptune says that you cannot live without water. So they argued for a long time. To resolve their dispute, they decided to ask someone.
They were the first to encounter plants. The atmosphere asks:
Tell me, what is more important to you, air or water? The plants answered them:
You can't live without water! We need water for growth and nutrition.
Neptune rejoiced:
King Neptune and Queen Atmosphere looked at each other. And we decided to ask people and animals. But here they heard the same thing.
And they decided not to argue with each other anymore. Life on Earth is in full swing. And everything is important for this life: air and water.
"Every living thing needs water"
Once upon a time there lived a hare. One day he decided to take a walk in the forest. The day was very cloudy, it was raining, but this did not stop the bunny from taking a morning walk through his native forest. A bunny is walking, walking, and a hedgehog with no head or legs meets him.
- “Hello hedgehog! Why are you so sad?"
- “Hello bunny! Why be happy, just look at the weather, it’s been raining all morning, the mood is disgusting.”
- “Hedgehog, imagine what would happen if there was no rain at all, and the sun always shone.”
- “It would be great, we could walk, sing songs, have fun!”
- “Yeah, hedgehog, it’s not like that. If there is no rain, all the trees, grass, flowers, all living things will wither and die.”
- “Come on, hare, I don’t believe you.”
- “Let's check it out”?
- “And how are we going to check this?”
- “Very simple, here’s a hedgehog holding a bouquet of flowers, this is a gift from me.”
- “Oh thank you bunny, you are a real friend!”
- “Hedgehog and you give me flowers.”
- “Yes, just take it.”
- “And now it’s time to check the hedgehog. Now we will each go to our own homes. I will put my flowers in a vase and pour water into it. And you, hedgehog, also put flowers in a vase, but don’t pour water.”
- “Okay, hare. Goodbye"!
Three days have passed. The hare, as usual, went for a walk in the forest. On this day, the bright sun shone and warmed us with its warm rays. A bunny is walking and suddenly a hedgehog with no head or legs meets him.
- “Hedgehog, are you sad again?” The rain has long stopped, the sun is shining, the birds are singing, the butterflies are fluttering. You should be happy."
- “Why should the hare be happy? The flowers you gave me have dried up. I’m so sorry, it was your gift.”
- “Hedgehog, do you understand why your flowers have dried up”?
“Of course I understand, I understand everything now. They dried out because they were in a vase without water.”
- “Yes, hedgehog, all living things need water. If there is no water, all living things will dry out and die. And rain is droplets of water that fall to the ground and nourish all the flowers and plants. Trees. Therefore, you need to enjoy everything, rain and sun.”
- “Bunny, I understood everything, thank you. Let’s go for a walk through the forest together and enjoy everything around us!”
« A tale of water, the most wonderful miracle on Earth"
Once upon a time there lived a king, and he had three sons. One day the king gathered his sons and ordered them to bring a MIRACLE. The eldest son brought gold and silver, the middle son brought precious stones, and the youngest son brought ordinary water. Everyone started laughing at him, and he said:
Water is the greatest miracle on Earth. The traveler I met was ready to give me all his jewelry for a sip of water. He was thirsty. I gave him clean water to drink and gave him some more to spare. I didn’t need his jewelry; I realized that water is more valuable than any wealth.
And another time I saw a drought. Without rain, the whole field dried up. It came to life only after it rained, filling it with life-giving moisture.
For the third time I had to help people put out a forest fire. Many animals suffered from it. If we had not stopped the fire, the whole village could have burned down if it had spread to it. We needed a lot of water, but we managed with all our might. That was the end of my search.
And now, I think you all understand why water is a wonderful miracle, because without it there would be nothing alive on Earth. Birds, animals, fish, and people cannot live a day without water. And water also has magical powers: it turns into ice and steam,” the youngest son finished his story and showed all the honest people the wonderful properties of water.
The king listened to his youngest son and declared water the greatest miracle on earth. In his royal Decree, he ordered to conserve water and not pollute water bodies.
"Rowanushka"
Once upon a time there lived a husband and wife, and they had two children. The eldest, unloved, and her name was unkind, her name was Eight. She was angry, capricious, and envious, but her parents affectionately called their little son Romanushka. He was kind and friendly, his parents doted on him. Vosmukha disliked Romanushka and planned to destroy him. She once took a child into a swamp and killed it. But she failed to destroy Romanushka completely. A friendly and curly tree grew in that place, and has since grown throughout the Russian land, and people affectionately called it “Rowanushka.” 
In the folk calendar there is the day “Peter-Paul Fieldfare”, which falls at the end of September, the time of ripening of the berries. On this day, branches with berries were tied into bunches and hung under the roofs of houses. The custom is associated with the idea of rowan as a tree that can protect a person from all sorts of troubles. Rowan is a symbol and guarantee of happiness and peace in the family, so they tried to plant rowan near the house. Therefore, the rowan is a favorite character in Russian folklore.
"Sunflower"
One day the girl Masha dropped a seed on the ground, right next to the window of her house. After the rain passed, Masha noticed a small sprout and began to care for it and water it. But no matter how hard Masha tried, the sprout had difficulty growing, and then she asked her dad: “Dad, why do I water the sprout every day, loosen the soil, but it doesn’t grow?” Then dad smiled and answered: 
“Masha, this is a sunflower, it doesn’t have enough water, it loves light, but you have it in the shade. Let’s replant it while it’s small so that the sunflower gets better sunlight.” 
Masha and dad carefully transplanted the plant to the sunny side. Masha couldn't be happier. Every morning she ran to her sunflower and looked to see if it had bloomed, and one early morning Masha saw a “big yellow hat”, it was her sunflower. He turned his head straight towards the sun, which helped him survive and flourish.
"Rose hip"
One early morning in June, the “wild rose” woke up and spread its leaves on the stems, which she really liked. There were many of them, and they shaded the flowers so beautifully with their greenery that the rose carefully monitored their cleanliness. And when it rained, I made sure that every leaf was thoroughly washed, but the wild rose was especially proud of its flowers. But how could one not be proud of them! They really looked like real garden roses. The white flowers emitted such a scent that all the nearby bees flocked as soon as they heard it. Our wild rose was prouder than all the other plants. She considered the same wild rose as she, but with pink flowers, less attractive than herself. And she told everyone to call herself only a wild rose, although more and more people called her under a different name - rosehip. Rose is the queen of flowers. How could our wild rose exchange this title for some unsounding rosehip?
So, the rose woke up, washed itself with dew, powdered the stamens of the flowers with pollen and began to wait for guests.
Many insects flew to the rose to feast on pollen. The rose treated them, and if she didn’t like someone, she drove them away with her sharp thorns, like a real rose’s. These thorns served as a weapon against herbivores. If it weren’t for them, some cow or passing horse would have eaten it long ago. So days after days passed, until one day the bee said to the wild rose: “Hello, white rosehip.” Rose was so angry that she forbade all insects to fly to visit her. A day or two passed, the beauty became bored, and all the insects were visiting the pink rose hips. On the third day, the rose saw a beautiful butterfly flying past and called to her.
“Oh, you stupid white rose,” said the butterfly, “don’t you know that the insects you drove away need you even more than they need you.” If they don't pollinate your flowers, you won't have fruit. 
Yes, but they called me rosehip,” the rose exclaimed indignantly.
And you are a rosehip and you should be proud of it. What is the use of a garden rose? She is beautiful and smells, but she is not useful, and you are rose hips, a medicinal plant. Combining the beauty of a garden rose and its medicinal benefits to people, the rose hip is far superior to the common rose. In the fall, when orange or red fruits ripen on your branches, people will collect them and dry them. And in winter, when there are few vitamins, they will make tea for themselves and remember the rosehip with a kind word. And many garden roses are your descendants. For example, such as tea roses.
Well, I have to go. - And the butterfly flew away. And the rose invited guests to her place.
“About how the birch and willow remained faithful to their home”
It was a long time ago. In an old reserved forest there lived a small birch tree. Her name was Rosyanka. Why? Waking up early in the morning, she washed herself with the night dew.
Other trees grew next to her. Different. Among them are oak and maple. They were proud of their unusually beautiful carved leaves and did not want to know anyone in the forest. They were very self-important. Both oak and maple often laughed at Rosinka; her leaves seemed very simple and unpretentious to them.
A willow tree also lived next to Rosinka. They called it Fluff in the forest because the back of its leaves was soft and warm. The arrogant neighbors did not want to be friends with her. And Rosinka liked the willow. And they became friends, in the summer they enjoyed the sun and rain together. In the fall, they covered the ground together with fallen leaves to cover their roots from hunger, slept together in the winter, and saw wonderful dreams about spring and summer. 
But suddenly everything suddenly changed. The Snow Queen decided that she could not reach the North Pole and needed to expand the borders of her possessions. And a very long winter came to the forest with severe frosts and cold winds, and the summer became short. The trees in the forest became agitated, worried and decided that it was better to give in to the Snow Queen and go where it was warm. After consulting, they came to the conclusion to invest all their strength in the seeds and fly with the wind to warm Countries.
But then the voices of Rosinka and Pushinka were heard. They offered to stay, because this is their home. Leave him to his own devices? Especially in such a difficult moment? But no one listened to them. Everyone was just talking about how good they would be in a foreign land, in the warmth.
As the days passed, the wind carried the seeds of the trees to where it was warm. The turn came for Rosinka and Pushinka - they resolutely refused to leave their native land, no matter how the wind persuaded them.
And they stayed at home, only over time they became completely different, because the cruel Snow Queen decided to destroy them and sent a severe frost that bound the earth. But it contains roots that feed and water the tree.
But neither Rosinka nor Pushinka were afraid, but transferred their roots to the top layer of soil. What did this give them? During the short summer, they managed to stock up on water and food for the entire winter. 
The Snow Queen did not calm down here either; she ordered the wind to destroy them at all costs. But even now the friends did not give up: they only bent the branches to the ground and hid them under the snow. At the same time, their branches became very small. Since that time, Rosinka and Pushinka began to be called dwarf.
But now the Snow Queen could not sleep peacefully: two small trees did not want to submit to her! She decided to ruin them with thirst. But our friends thought and thought and again found a way out - they decided to reduce their leaves, and the birch tree covered them with a waxy coating, and Pushinka made them even more feathery in order to drink less water.
The Snow Queen was never able to conquer the birch and willow. They loved their native land very much and were very close friends.
"Health Herb"
The boy Vanya was walking through a forest clearing. He walked along, humming a song, and did not notice that he was trampling on grass that was completely unsightly to the eye. But suddenly he tripped over a cobblestone and broke his knee. The bruise was so bad that there was blood. "What to do? No water, no brilliant green, no bandage, Vanya thought. “How should I treat my wound?” 
And suddenly I heard:
I can help you.
And Vanya angrily:
Who are you? And how can you help me?
And I am a small, completely inconspicuous plant. Even though I have thick, strong, sinewy leaves, it still hurts when someone accidentally steps on me. But it takes me a lot of time to grow. My little seed must fall into the ground, it must be watered by rain, and warmed by the sun. Only then will it release its stem. Time will pass, the root will thicken, the stem will gain strength, the leaves will become large and filled with healing juice. People have known my healing properties for a long time. By applying my leaf to the wound, you can stop the bleeding.
Yes, indeed, you are so small, but you can do so much,” Vanya answers. “What is your name?”
Plantain.
I will know now, take care of you, and tell my friends. And we will be friends together: both people and plants. Make friends and help each other.
"Oak"
Once upon a time, there lived a king. He was very noble and rich. And he had a daughter whom he loved more than anything in the world. One day the princess fell ill, she stopped drinking and eating, and became weaker every day. The king was saddened, he called all his court doctors and ordered them to cure his daughter by any means. No matter how hard the wise men tried, they failed; the princess continued to get sick. By chance, a wanderer drove by, stopped by the palace and learned about the royal misfortune. 
And he said to the king: “I can cure your daughter. In your garden grows the sure cure for your daughter’s illness. According to the Druid horoscope, each person has his own tree, a guardian angel, so to speak. You just need to stand under your tree and many ailments will recede. Your daughter’s tree is an oak tree, this tree has healing powers due to the content of phytoncides.”
The wanderer took the princess into the garden and said: “Stand under the oak tree, hug it, pressing your whole body. Stand with your bare feet on the ground, and you will feel better.”
A few days later the princess came to life, turned pink, had an appetite, and began to recover. The generous king, in gratitude, offered the stranger the hand of his daughter. Since then they have lived in peace and harmony, happiness and health. And under the window grows a mighty oak tree, which is carefully looked after by the princess and her relatives. The oak tree has become a family friend, they water it, dig up soil around the trunk, so as not to damage the roots.
"Owl"
One day Dunno went into the forest. I went for a walk, and lo and behold, it was already getting dark. We need to quickly run home. Suddenly, right in front of him, a large gray bird silently landed on a stump.
Who are you? - Dunno was scared. 
You are a bird. But why do you fly at night then? After all, the other birds are already sleeping.
You see, Dunno, I can’t see well during the day when the sun is shining brightly. It blinds me. But I don’t see even in the dead of night, as you think, I fly in the evening, in the gray twilight.
Ah, that's why you're so gray. But why do you need to be gray, because then no one will see you? And yet, if you fly silently, no one will hear you.
I must be invisible and inaudible so that those small animals, mice, bunnies, birds that I hunt, do not hear me. And I'm the only one. Cats and some other nocturnal animals also hunt this way.
"Mysterious Animal"
A cat catches mice, a seagull eats fish, a flycatcher eats flies. Tell me what you eat and I will tell you who you are. And I hear a voice: 
Guess who am I? And I eat beetles and ants
I thought and said firmly:
I guessed wrong! I also eat wasps and bumblebees!
Yeah! You are a honey-buzzard bird!
Not a buzzard! I also eat caterpillars and larvae!
Thrushes love caterpillars and larvae.
And I'm not a thrush! I also gnaw on the antlers shed by elk.
Then you must be a wood mouse.
And not a mouse at all. Sometimes I eat mice myself!
Mice? Then, of course, you are a cat.
Either a mouse or a cat! And you didn't guess right at all.
Show yourself! - I shouted. And he began to peer into the dark spruce, from where the voice was heard.
I'll show myself. Just admit yourself defeated.
Early! - I answered.
Sometimes I eat lizard. And occasionally - fish.
Maybe you're a heron?
Not a heron. I catch chicks and steal eggs from birds' nests.
Looks like you're a marten.
Don't tell me about the marten. The marten is my old enemy. I also eat kidneys, nuts, seeds of fir trees and pine trees, berries and mushrooms.
I got angry and shouted: “I give up!” The branches swayed, parted and I saw a squirrel!
Remember! - she said. -Cats eat not only mice, seagulls catch not only fish, flycatchers swallow not only flies.
And squirrels gnaw on more than just nuts. I am the most famous animal in the forest.

The purpose of this educational fairy tales:give children knowledge about the meaning of water, air,sun and soil in life on Earth;about the relationships in living and inanimate nature.
Fairy tale designed in the form of a magnetic theater.
A long time ago there were three kingdoms on our planet - states:kingdom Air, the Wind ruled in it;
Queen Wave ruled in the kingdom of Water;
and the kingdom Earth ruled by Queen Soil.
They lived amicably, but one day an argument arose between them.
I,- said the Wind, - more important and stronger than you! If I want, I’ll create a storm at sea, and on I'll spin a hurricane on the earth.
“Well, no!” objected Queen Wave. -If I want, I’ll flood everything around with my water. After all, the rains, the seas, oceans, rivers, and lakes are in my power!
Don’t argue! Why argue about it if it’s clear that I’m the most important! - confident said Queen Soil. -Without me, nothing alive would exist.
