Relevance of the project:
“Humanity will not remain forever on earth, but, in pursuit of light and space, will first timidly penetrate beyond the atmosphere, and then conquer the entire circumsolar space.”
K. Tsiolkovsky
Several decades ago, few of yesterday's boys did not want to become an astronaut. This dream is not at all relevant for modern children. Meanwhile, space pirates, star wars and other alien creatures are the heroes of their favorite cartoons. Fictional characters misinform preschoolers by telling them about non-existent planets, and often evoke negative emotions in them and contribute to the development of fears. Therefore, it is important to competently organize work to develop children’s ideas about space.

Appendix 1
Outdoor games:
“Fast rockets are waiting for us”
Rocket hoops are laid out around the hall. There are several fewer of them than there are players. Children hold hands and walk in a circle saying:
- Fast rockets are waiting for us
For flight to planets.
Whatever we want
Let's fly to this one!
But there is one secret in the game:
There is no room for latecomers!
After the last words, the children scatter and take places in the “rockets” (if there are many children, then two or three people can sit in one rocket) and take different space poses. Those who did not get a place on the rocket choose the most interesting and beautiful poses astronauts. Then everyone stands in a circle again and the game starts all over again.
"Cosmonauts"
The game is played under the accompaniment of a musical director.
Goal: development of imitation of the movements and speech of an adult - repetition of the sound “U”.
- We launch the rocket “U-U-U!”: Hands above your head in the shape of a cone,
- Started the engines “R-rr-r”: moving in a circle one after another
- They buzzed: “Oooh!”: Hands spread to the sides.
- We flew to the gas station: we sat down - hands forward, refueled - hands dropped.
The game is repeated several times at the request of the children.
"Rocket launch site"
Children lay out the hoops in a circle, run freely around the hoops and say the words:
Fast rockets are waiting for us
For flights on planets.
Whatever we want
Let's fly to this one!
But there is one secret in the game -
There is no room for latecomers!
The teacher removes several hoops. The game is repeated until only one hoop remains.
"Weightlessness"
Children sit freely in the hall, make a “swallow” and stand as long as possible. Children standing on their second leg sit down. The child who stands on one leg the longest wins.
"Sun and Rain"
Goal: to teach children to walk and run in all directions, without bumping into each other, to teach them to act on a signal.
Children sit on benches. The teacher says: “Sunny”, the children walk and run all over the playground. After the words “Rain. Hurry home! children to their places.
"The sun is a champion."
The selected child leader recites a “cosmic” rhyme, during which the children become one of the planets:
There lived an astrologer on the moon.
He kept records of the planets:
One - Mercury,
Two - Venus,
Three - Earth,
Four - Mars
Five - Jupiter,
Six - Saturn,
Seven - Uranus,
Eighth - Neptune.
Children put on hats with the image of the planet they were given according to the counting rhyme, begin to move to the music, and, following a sound signal, line up in the required sequence relative to the sun, which is depicted by one of the preschoolers.
Appendix 2
Didactic games:
"Restore order to the solar system"
Goal: To consolidate children's knowledge about the order of the planets in the solar system, remembering the names of the planets. We lay out models of planets on the carpet, and the presenter reads poems about the planet that needs to be found. Whoever recognizes it takes it and places it in orbit behind the Sun. All planets must take their place in the system. Finally, name each planet.

in pursuit of light and space,
at first it will timidly penetrate beyond the atmosphere,
and then will conquer the entire circumsolar space.”

Fictional characters misinform preschoolers by telling them about non-existent planets, and often evoke negative emotions in them and contribute to the development of fears. Therefore, it is important to competently organize work to develop children’s ideas about space.
Since ancient times, people's eyes have been directed to the sky. From the first steps on earth, man felt his dependence on the sky; his life and activities largely depended on it. Our ancestors knew and understood the “habits” of the sky well. For them, the sky was alive, full, and manifesting itself in many ways.
It is this love and knowledge of the sky that we cultivate in the older preschoolers attending our group...
TOO It’s impossible to talk about the big space! Being carried away by any fact, everyone is captured, as if on a spaceship, by adventures to distant and uncharted planets solar system . That is why, when forming ideas about space among children of senior preschool age, a project methodology was chosen. The system of work on the topic “Space” assumes a person-oriented approach to the development of a child. The activity is aimed at developing mental, cognitive, and communication abilities, which are carried out through various types of children's activities. Content educational activities age-appropriate, gives children the ability to express their emotional experiences and acquired knowledge about space.

Stage 1
Identification of children's initial knowledge about space.
Speaking about the development of children’s cognitive activity, L.S. Vygotsky noted that in the absence of knowledge, questions do not arise. Consequently, the questions asked by children reflect their level of awareness in a particular area of knowledge and allow us to identify the zone of proximal development.
And we had a lot of questions:
“Why is the Moon kind of white during the day, but at night is it yellow?” (Masha)
“Why is it dark in space? Is the sun shining there?” (Danil)
“Where does the Sun come from in the morning? Where does Luna live? (Pauline)
“Is the moon far or close? Why do we see the Moon here, but it’s also shining at Grandma’s?” (Darina)
“Why can’t you reach the sky?” (Rashid)
And many, many more varied questions:
“Why is the Sun hot?” (Farid)
“Why does the moon follow us when we move?” (Darina)
“Why is the Moon round, and sometimes like a piece of bread, as in a riddle? Why does the Moon sometimes look like a pancake, sometimes like a piece of cheese?” (Nikita)
“Are the stars round or square? Why are they visible at night but not during the day?” (Sasha)
“Where do the stars go when they fall from the sky?” (Nikita)
“Why doesn’t the moon fall, but the stars do?” (Julia)
Who are astronauts? Are astronauts pilots? Why do they fly into space? (Pauline)
Analysis of the questions that children asked about space and space objects allowed us to draw a number of important conclusions.
- The cognitive capabilities of preschoolers in the field of natural science are very great.
- The vast majority of questions arise in children based on observations of real phenomena and their own logical reasoning.
- It is possible to satisfy their needs only if we abandon “school” teaching methods and take into account the specifics of the thought processes of children in the first seven years of life.
- Preschoolers ask a lot of questions about space, stars, and astronauts, since this topic, like everything unknown, incomprehensible, inaccessible to the eye, excites children’s imagination.
How to find answers to all your questions:
Yulia suggested asking parents to find photographs or pictures about space on the Internet;
Danil decided to ask adults to tell what they know about space, planets and astronauts.
This project will help children learn to obtain information from various sources, systematize the knowledge gained, and apply it in various types children's activities. Also at this stage, the following work was carried out: studying the literature, updating the content of the subject-development environment, compiling notes, card files of games, experiments, manuals, identifying topics for consultations and events for parents, testing, questioning children and parents.
Stage 2 - project implementation
A project implementation plan was drawn up (system web) ( Appendix 1) in accordance with educational areas, as well as a thematic plan for the distribution of activities for children and adults in accordance with the special names of educational centers. Work on the project was carried out in various directions (with children and their parents) educational - “Space laboratory. Children's modeling", "Cosmocinema"; gaming - “Cosmic Play”; reading fiction - " Reading room. Poetic living room"; artistic and creative – “Space Workshop”; physical education and health center “Space Gym”; musical - “Space Music” (Appendix 2).
The children were offered visual and didactic material: a diagram of the Solar System, a globe, star maps, illustrations, photographs, etc. In the process of activity, children learned to model, reason, and analyze. The work was carried out consistently and in a system.
When carrying out the work, individual age and psychological characteristics children (development of thinking, memory, imagination, perception). The content of the activity is focused on the mental, personal and psychological development of the child.
During the project, children gained an idea about the planets of the solar system, about the Earth as a planet: shape, size, movement around the Sun and its axis. We learned the name of the first cosmonaut on Earth. We got acquainted and learned about the meaning of new words “cosmonaut”, “space suit”, “satellite”, “constellation”, “meteorite”, “orbit”, “telescope”.
This activity contributed to the development logical thinking, creative imagination, as well as children’s ability to establish cause-and-effect relationships between objects and phenomena.
When implementing the project, variable forms of work were used: problem-search situations, integrated, complex training, analysis of problem situations.
Much attention was paid to creating conditions for the development of cognitive and speech activity of older preschoolers, as well as the development of their curiosity, desire for independent knowledge and reflection, development mental abilities and speech, which contributed to a comprehensive harmonious development personality.
Methodological and didactic materials were compiled according to the principle of thematic planning. The essence of thematic planning is that:
- when getting acquainted with the outside world, children became acquainted with new topic dedicated to space;
- all other types of activities (speech development, modeling and others) continue this theme;
- parents are offered recommendations and advice on conducting observations, reading to children at home, to consolidate the material covered;
- holidays, leisure activities, and quizzes not only help to consolidate and improve children’s knowledge, but also provide an opportunity to implement this knowledge in games (role-playing, directing, movement). (Appendix 3)
This structure of educational work allows us to take into account the principles of preschool didactics:
- The principle of interconnection between all areas of work with preschool children.
- Principles of consistency.
- The principle of systematicity.
- The principle of repetition.
- The principle of visibility.
IN thematic planning All forms of work with children are provided: direct organized activity, free play, individual work with children, reading fiction, conversations with children, entertainment, quizzes, etc. All these forms serve to achieve the goal of the project - this comprehensive development children of senior preschool age, developing the child’s ability to discover new, unexpected opportunities in the everyday, developing the ability to systematize and generalize their knowledge.
For cognitive development We had weekly conversations with the children on the topics “Why is it necessary to study space?”, “Yuri Gagarin - the first cosmonaut of the planet”, “Planets and stars”, “What kind of spaceships are there”, “Stars and constellations”, “Earth is our home in Universe”, “The Sun is the source of life on Earth”. The purpose of these conversations is to expand preschoolers’ ideas about the Universe.
While studying artistic activity The children sculpted funny Martians, cosmonauts, spaceships and lunar rovers, made appliqués from colored paper, fabric and foil on the theme “Stars and Comets”, and depicted their ideas about space flight. We created models of “Rocket at Launch” and the panel “Space Collage”. All these crafts were exhibited at the Mysterious Space exhibition.
Preschoolers received initial ideas about the Universe, the first flight to the Moon, the launch of Sputnik, and scientists-inventors in an accessible and fun way when they went to space travel in the process of cognitive activity and role-playing games.
They are very popular among students didactic games“Star Trek”, “Different pictures”, “Choose clothes for an astronaut”, the purpose of which is to consolidate the acquired knowledge.
Creativity on the theme “Amazing Space” involves a flight of fantasy, freedom of expression and, of course, knowledge and ideas about the universe, the solar system, space exploration and travel. When preparing children for modeling and drawing, we first read fiction: the wonderful fairy tale by Antoine de Saint-Exupery “The Little Prince”, “Dunno on the Moon” by N. Nosov, stories and poems about space and the cosmonaut by various authors, looked at illustrated publications for children on astronomy. Modeling on the themes “In the distant sky, or starry sky” (modeling), “Flying saucers and aliens from outer space.” "Conquerors of Space" ended big teamwork"Space panorama". We have collected all the space-themed crafts. The painting “Starry Sky” was hung on the wall, and the panorama “Cosmodrome” was placed next to it. These works not only became an exhibition, but also an opportunity to “revive” the “space” created by the children themselves. The children had a desire to play with and “revive” the created composition. Spaceships have been launched into outer space, and satellites also fly there. Astronauts prepare for a flight, fly, go into outer space or land on the Moon. Aliens arrive in flying saucers. A game develops, to which children return again and again, inventing more and more new stories. Is there anything more significant and effective remedy to consolidate acquired knowledge and intensify the desire to gain new ones.
The most effective is joint activities children, teachers and parents to study the topic of space. Thus, through our common efforts, the photo album “Russian Cosmonautics: Yesterday and Today” was created. With the help of parents, a model of “Planets of the Solar System” was created, which deservedly attracts the attention of children and teachers when working on the topic “Space”. Parents and their children also created a “Star Book”, which contains stories, drawings and photographs of the constellations under which their child was born.
Parents became our active participants and helpers. Participated in collecting visual information for exhibitions (postcards, badges, souvenirs about space), making panels, and attributes for educational games. An astronaut's "spacesuit", a "control panel", a "telescope" for observing the stars, funny "aliens" made from boxes and plastic bottles, left no one indifferent
The result of our work since the project was the educational-themed holiday “Mysterious Space”. It was fun and the guys had the opportunity to show all their acquired knowledge and skills, show their imagination, inventiveness, take part in fun, but not at all easy “space” relay races, competitions, quizzes, show all their unusual works and present them to all spectators.
Thus, in the process of implementing the “Amazing Space” project, our children, along with the development of cognitive abilities, enriched their vocabulary, expanded their natural science ideas about space, and widely demonstrated initiative and creativity. They now know a lot and can tell other children about the achievements of Russian scientists and astronauts. We will continue to work on this topic

Project for children of senior preschool age Space distances
for children of senior preschool age
"Space distances"
2016
Implementation period: short-term (April 4-12)
Type: group, information-practice-oriented
Age : children of senior preschool age
Participants: children, teachers, music director, parents
Security: dictionaries, reference books, encyclopedias, literature, educational games, paintings, photos, TV, laboratory children's experimentation
Target: enriching the ideas of older preschool children about space through the use of design technology
Tasks : - cultivate pride in the country in which you live, curiosity, activity
develop elementary natural science concepts
to form the concept “I am an inhabitant of the planet”, to expand and deepen children’s knowledge about space
Expected results: - extension elementary ideas about space, value attitude towards the environment
developing a respectful attitude towards people whose profession is related to space exploration
accumulation of methodological files of educational activities for children, consultations for parents, illustrative and demonstration material
Relevance of the project:
If in the 20th century any child was asked what he wanted to become when he grew up, more than 50% of children answered: “An astronaut!” They talked about space, showed programs, the names of the astronauts were known to everyone. All the knowledge gained about space, space discoveries and conquests, as well as plans for the future development of astronautics and the exploration of outer space instilled in every citizen pride in their Motherland. Due to the current socio-economic situation in Russia over the past decades, interest in space has been lost; most children first hear the name of the first cosmonaut only in preschool educational institution, with eyes round in surprise, learn the initial knowledge about space and astronauts: everything is unfamiliar to them, but very interesting. That’s why we created the “Cosmic Distances” project.

Target:
1. Expand children’s understanding of astronautics.
2. Foster a sense of patriotism and pride for the Fatherland.
3. Organize competitive activities between teams.
4. Create active interaction among students in the team.
Equipment: portraits of astronauts, images of the planets of the solar system and famous constellations, cut-out pictures of a rocket, two balloons, rackets, demonstration material (slides about space, astronauts, children's drawings).
Educator: Guys, who can guess what our event will be dedicated to? (Children's answers).
The mysterious world of stars and planets has attracted the attention of people since ancient times. But it became closer and more accessible only with the penetration of man into outer space.
Aviation and Cosmonautics Day is a special, triumphant holiday! No wonder the whole world celebrates it!
Many centuries passed before humanity found a way to overcome gravity and rise into outer space. Guys, remember the fairy tales and legends. Whatever they flew on fairy-tale heroes! (Children's answers). (On bats and eagles, on flying carpets and beards of wizards, on the Little Humpbacked Horse and magic arrows.) .
The first who saw in a rocket a projectile capable of carrying earthlings into interplanetary space was the great Russian scientist Konstantin Eduardovich Tsiolkovsky. The scientist carried out calculations, made drawings and came up with an aircraft that could fly beyond the Earth. But, unfortunately, he did not have such an opportunity. And only many years later, another Russian scientist, S.P. Korolev, was able to design and manufacture the first space satellite.
On April 12, 1961, the world's first space flight with a man on board took place. We had been preparing for this day for a very long time.
Scientists, test designers and people of many other professions were involved in preparing the great flight. Everything had to be taken into account, everything had to be foreseen in order for the flight to be successful. It took a long time to choose a pilot-cosmonaut.
And after much testing and discussion, a decision was made: Yuri Alekseevich Gagarin would become the world’s first cosmonaut.
Finally the decisive day arrived. On April 12, 1961, Yuri Gagarin made a space flight on the Vostok spacecraft. In 108 minutes, the satellite ship with the world's first cosmonaut circled the globe and returned safely to Earth. It was a powerful breakthrough in space exploration!
And then there was a solemn meeting on Red Square. In a few hours, Yuri Gagarin became the most famous person in the world. When the government announcement about the great flight came over the radio, crowds of people filled the streets throughout the country. Everyone wanted to greet the world's first cosmonaut, Son of the Earth, Citizen of the Universe.
Valentina Tereshkova is the world's first female cosmonaut. To this day, she remains the only woman to fly solo in space. She spent almost three days in space.
Initially, it was planned to send two female crews into space at once, but later it was decided to abandon this idea.
V. Tereshkova made her space flight on June 16, 1963. on the Vostok-6 ship. It was the sixth and last spaceship from the Vostok series. The launch of V. Tereshkova’s ship took place at Baikonur not from the “Gagarin site”, but from a backup one.
45 years ago, a Soyuz launch vehicle launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, carrying the Voskhod-2 spacecraft. Its crew consisted of two people: the ship's commander Pavel Belyaev and co-pilot Alexey Leonov. The entire flight lasted a little more than a day, but it was a historic flight. During it - March 18, 1965, when pilot-cosmonaut Alexei Arkhipovich Leonov was the first earthling to leave the spaceship and make the first human spacewalk in history.
Educator: The word “cosmonaut” appeared quite recently. On October 4, 1957, for the first time, our rocket launched a man-made spacecraft into low-Earth orbit. And he began to revolve around the Earth, just as the Moon does. This is how the first artificial satellite appeared. (Points to the satellite on the central wall.) The road to space was open.
Educator: Imagine that you are future cosmonauts, and we are going to the cosmodrome.
Charger:
We're going to the cosmodrome
We walk in step together.
We walk on our toes
We're walking on our heels.
They checked my posture.
And they brought their shoulder blades together (walking on their toes and heels).
Let's run guys together -
We all need to warm up.
Educator: People have always wanted to know whether there is life on other planets? And if there is, who lives there? But to find out, you need to fly to the planets. How can we fly into space now?
(Children's answers).
Educator: Let's assemble a rocket
Competition “Build a Rocket” Who can build it faster? geometric shapes spacecraft?
The base of the rocket is made up of rectangles. Above the rectangles is another rectangle. Above the rectangle is a square, and on the square is a triangle.
Educator: We have assembled a rocket. And now we need to fly into space. But before we take flight, let's stretch our fingers.
Finger gymnastics"House".
I want to build a house
(Fold your hands like a house and raise them above your head)
So that there is a window in it,
(Join the fingers of both hands into a circle)
So that the house has a door,
(We connect the palms of our hands together vertically)
Nearby for a pine tree to grow.
(We raise one hand up and “spread” our fingers)
So that there is a fence around
The dog guarded the gate,
(We join our hands in a lock and make a circle in front of us)
It was sunny, it was raining,
(First, we raise our hands up, fingers “spread”. Then we lower our fingers down, making “shaking” movements)
And the tulip bloomed in the garden!
(Put your palms together and slowly open your fingers - “tulip bud”)
Educator: Well, are we going on a trip? Crew take your seats, fasten your seat belts! We begin to count the seconds until the start.
Teacher and children together: Five! Four! Three! Two! One! Start!
Educator: Guys, we arrived on"Planet of Smarties."
1. Guys, what planet do we live on? (Earth) .
2. The name of the first cosmonaut to fly into space? (Gagarin)
3. What were the names of the dogs who were the first to return from space? (Belka and Strelka).
4. What did Yuri Gagarin say at the moment of launch? (Let's go)
5. Name the spaceship on which Gagarin went into space? ("East")
6. What is the name of the astronaut’s protective suit? (spacesuit)
8. What is the name of the aircraft in which they fly into space? (Spaceship).
9. The fastest form of transport created on Earth? (Rocket).
10. What is the name of the first cosmonaut to go into space? (A. Leonov).
Educator: Well done, guys! All questions answered. And we leave this planet and go to another. And it's called"Sports" The inhabitants of this planet have prepared a relay race for us.
In space, any object weighs nothing. This state is called weightlessness. All objects in the spaceship are attached to their place. If this is not done, they will float freely. In such conditions, any person becomes a strongman. In zero gravity, not only a person, but also an object loses its weight. Now we will try to carry a balloon at arm's length on a racket.
Competition "Weightlessness".
Ball competition
The first player holds the ball between his knees and jumps to a certain place, then runs back and gives the ball to the next player.
. Fly to the sun.
Task: At the signal, run to the landmark and return. The baton is passed by a baton. The team that completes the task faster wins.
The results of the competition are summed up by the jury
.Game “Who can collect space debris faster”
Scattered on the floor are cardboard figures, crumpled pieces of paper, small toys. On command and accompanied by music, children collect “space debris” into baskets. The one who collects the most wins.
Deliver to the medical unit.
Task: Two people from each team do a “stretcher” (join their wrists). It is necessary to deliver all crew members one by one to the medical unit (mat). The team that completes the task faster wins.
The results of the competition are summed up by the jury.
Educator: And now we will take a short trip to all the planets of the solar system. Let's name all the planets one by one. (Earth, Uranus, Neptune, Saturn, Venus, Mercury, Mars, Pluto, Jupiter). (Children name planets)
Fizminutka .
There lived an astrologer on the moon - (“Looking” through a telescope)
He kept track of the planets: (Point to the sky with his hand)
Mercury - once, (Describe a circle with your hands)
Venus two, (Cotton)
Three - earth, four - Mars, (Sit down)
Five - Jupiter, six - Saturn, (Tilt right-left)
Seven - Uranus, eight - Neptune, (Lean forward, bend back)
If you don't see it, get out! (Spread your arms to the sides)
Educator: Guys, while you and I were doing warm-ups, our ship landed on the planet"Riddles."
1. Among the blue field -
The bright shine of a large fire.
The fire moves slowly here,
It goes around Mother Earth,
There is a cheerful light shining in the window.
Well of course it is. (Sun) .
* * *
2. On clear nights
A mother and her daughters are walking.
She doesn’t tell her daughters:
- Go to bed, it's late! -
Because mother is the moon,
And the daughters. (stars).
***
3. She spread her scarlet tail,
Flew off into a flock of stars.
Our people built this
Interplanetary... (rocket).
***
4. He is not a pilot, not a pilot,
He's not flying a plane,
And a huge rocket.
Children, who, tell me, is this? (astronaut)
***
5. In the evening, look out the window:
It's already dark outside,
A light bulb is visible in the sky,
It's called. (moon) .
E. Uspensky

6. Everyone has their own houses:
Stories have volumes
There are clothing stores,
Cabbage and pears have baskets,
Animals have a zoo,
The cars have their own fleet.
Everything that is in this world,
Has a home on the planet.
And the planet, I know,
It's called. (Earth) .
B. Popov

7. What kind of ceiling is this?
Sometimes he is low, sometimes he is high,
Sometimes he is gray, sometimes he is whitish.
It's a little bit bluish.
And sometimes so beautiful -
Lace and blue - blue! (Sky)
Outdoor game “Fast rockets are waiting for us”
Rocket hoops are laid out around the hall. There are several fewer of them than there are players. Children hold hands and walk in a circle saying:
- Fast rockets are waiting for us
For flight to planets.
Whatever we want
Let's fly to this one!
But there is one secret in the game:
There is no room for latecomers!
After the last words, the children scatter and take places in the “rockets” (if there are many children, then two or three people can sit in one rocket) and take different space poses. Those who did not get a place in the rocket choose the most interesting and beautiful poses of the astronauts. Then everyone stands in a circle again and the game starts all over again.
Educator: Astronauts must be very attentive. Let's test your playful, jumping, jumping energy and cosmic attentiveness! If I shout: “Jump,” then you, jumping, loudly and unanimously respond: “Jump!” " And if I shout: “Jump! “, - then you all jump up and answer: “Jump.” Do you remember? Let's begin!
Game "Confusion: Jump and Leap"
Educator: Well, guys, it’s time to return to our planet Earth. We're flying back
Educator: Our flight is over! Thanks everyone! Open the hatch! Get out of the rocket! Congratulations on your successful return to Earth. At the end of the flight, each astronaut must refresh himself. To remember the flight, I present you with sweet prizes.
