The appearance of leaves on trees in spring. How do leaves grow on trees? Labor and individual exercise

In the spring, parents are usually visited by the desire to make children young naturalists. All the temptations are there: the birds are chirping, the grass is earing, everything is blooming. It is in the spring that it is best to study the world around us, as they say, in kind, and not through the screen.

However, before giving a child the joy of watching sprouts, ask yourself honestly, but do you yourself know how to distinguish a bird cherry leaf from a currant leaf? Not? Then let's practice.

Bird cherry leaves are wide and thin, such are the case with shade-loving plants. The upper part of the leaf is dull, slightly wrinkled, and the lower part is bluish. There is a pointed tip and jagged edges, if you look closely you can see brown-red glands.

Plants with fleshy leaves, with hairs or very narrow leaves, like those of sea buckthorn, are better able to withstand high temperatures and water loss.

By the way, the scientific name of sea buckthorn is translated from Greek as “shine for horses” - the skin of animals that fed on the leaves of the plant acquired a satin sheen.

"Toothy" currant leaves are not to be confused with others. They appear in late April - early May. At black currant each tooth of the leaf also ends with a white tip, so to speak, with a “claw”, and the leaf itself is rich green in color. By the way, few people know that currant leaves contain more vitamin C than the berries themselves.

Now is the time to watch how life is born in the garden after a long winter: how the buds on the trees appear, and then the leaves bloom from them. Explain why each tree or bush in your area has different leaves.

When the field research is over, you can generalize. Describe how environmental conditions change the shape of the leaf and the plant as a whole. For example, in a dry and sunny place, the leaves grow small and hard, for example, like an apricot.

Ulanova L. A., Jordan S. O. Guidelines organizing and conducting walks for children 3-7 years old.

Target- repeat the names of the trees. Discuss the structure of a tree (trunk, branches, leaves).

Progress of the walk

Observation: Pay attention to the fact that after winter sleep, each tree comes to life. Spring juices rise up the trunk to the branches, fill the buds, and they swell, swell, just about ready to burst. Consider the buds on the branches: in poplar they are long, sticky, fragrant, and in birch they are round, small. Look closely at the leaves that have appeared. On the birch - shriveled, sticky, accordion-like, dark green. On poplar - shiny, sticky, dark green. Considering the kidneys with children of older groups, explain that some trees wake up earlier, others later. To tell about healing properties birch and pine buds. Touch the leaves, find similarities and differences. Watch the leaves grow. Observe the planting of trees and shrubs, digging the earth. Explain why this is being done.

Didactic games

"Review and Describe"- children examine and describe the plants proposed by the teacher. The goal is to consolidate children's knowledge about changes in nature in the spring. Learn to observe nature, to see the beauty of the landscape. Cultivate respect for nature.

"What leaf"- children describe the leaf of the tree proposed by the teacher. The goal is to use relative adjectives in speech.

Exercises for the development of fine motor skills of the hands

Lay out the leaves from the stones.
Fastening the leaves with a sprig, make a belt or wreath, hat.

Labor and individual exercise

Clear the ground of old foliage. Plant a tree or shrub.
Jump to the leaf (high jump).

Outdoor games

Gawker. The goal is to develop attention, practice throwing and catching the ball. Game progress: Children stand in a circle and begin to throw the ball, calling by name the one who should catch. The one who drops the ball stands in a circle and, on the instructions of the children, performs 2-3 exercises with the ball.

"Hunter". The goal is to practice throwing and throwing the ball. Game progress. One is chosen "hunter", all the rest - "game". "Hunter" plays the ball, the rest at this time walk around the court. After 3-4 exercises, he shouts: "Game!" Everyone stops, and he stains one of the children from his place. The tarnished becomes the hunter's assistant. The game continues until a certain number of assistants (3-5 people) appear.

The opening of the kidneys is an annual spectacle arranged by nature, which we see at the beginning of spring. These often subtle bumps on deciduous trees and shrubs, sometimes several millimeters in size, nestle against bare branches and seem to be just waiting in the wings. Indeed, the opening time of the buds is a phenomenon dependent on natural factors designed to protect the plant from the consequences of waking up too early. Buds in woody plants are usually laid in summer, but become visible only in autumn, after leaf fall. And in order to open up in the spring, they must go through a stage of winter dormancy.

Relatively large mixed buds are distinguished, in which flowers and leaves are simultaneously laid (as, for example, in horse chestnut), as well as purely flower and pure leaf buds. Shrubs that bloom early in spring, such as dogwood and willow, have flowers in a protective shell of the bud so well formed that a few warm days are enough for them to fully open even before the first leaves appear.

With their nectar and pollen, fluffy “lambs” of inflorescences begin to attract bees as early as March, while the leaf buds of the shrub remain closed for some time:

On other woody plants, on the contrary, greenery appears first and flowers much later. These include, for example, forest beech, mountain ash.

At forest beech leaf buds are narrow and long. After the brownish scales part, within one to two days, corrugated green leaves will appear.

Most of the trees and shrubs of our climatic zone have closed buds, the “inner world” of which is completely enclosed in a protective shell of modified leaves, the so-called scales. This leathery material is often additionally covered with villi, a layer of resin or wax, which provide the kidney with protection from cold, drying out and damage. But there are also woody plants with bare () and half-naked (black elderberry) buds, from the outer visible scales of which real leaves develop.

By the way, if some of the buds did not open in the spring, they should not be considered dead. The so-called dormant buds can grow into the surrounding bark and lie dormant for several years before they open. At the same time, they grow just enough so as not to overgrow due to the thickening of the stem. If, during late frosts, the buds that have awakened on the same branch freeze, the dormant buds will come to the aid of the plant. So nature saves plants with severe damage from the cold.

It has relatively large kidneys, thanks to which the process of their deployment is clearly visible.

On a longitudinal section of a horse chestnut bud, one can clearly see 1 inflorescence bud. 2 The leaf primordia are compactly folded and 3 renal scales form a protective sheath. Under the large apical bud and smaller lateral ones, 4 scars left after the fall of autumn foliage. visible on the scars 5 conducting vessels through which the plant was supplied with water and minerals.

1. When the kidney scales move apart, flowers and leaves are not yet visible. After a couple of days, cover leaves will unfold at the top of the stem and inflorescence buds will appear.

2. For some time, the inflorescence retains a compact shape, and the light green covering leaves droop gently.

3. But after a couple of weeks, the leaves will turn dark green, the flowers will fully bloom and long and lush inflorescences-candles will appear on the tree.

Throws out greenish-yellow umbels of inflorescences in late April.

They develop rapidly, while the leaves at the base of the peduncle remain small and shriveled.

Young leaves of Norway maple (Acer platanoides) are orange-red, and in some green-leaved varieties, such as 'Cleveland' and 'Deborah', a pronounced rich red. Naturally, the same applies to the red and purplish red varieties ‘Royal Red’ and ‘Crimson Sentry’.

About flower color ordinary(Syringa vulgaris) can be judged already at the stage of bud opening. But it will take more than one week before all the flowers bloom completely.

5. Unlike most conifers, it is not an evergreen. The more spectacular its fresh light green looks every spring. The reddish spikelets that appeared a little earlier will later turn into cones.

6. Do

  • Kidneymost woody plants at the end of winter, to get out of dormancy, you need a long daylight hours and a lot of sun. If it is warm, the buds will begin to expand. If you wake up too early, the kidneys will simply freeze, but this does not happen, since daylight hours remain short.
  • woody plants in Siberia, they immediately wake up in order to have time to use the short growing season. In our gardens, this would have ended sadly: if frosts break out after the weakening of the winter cold, even Siberian champions in cold resistance will not cope with the problem.
  • To provide themselves with water and mineralsubstances, in deciduous trees, sap flow should be restored before the deployment of the buds. At the end of winter, the plant sends sugars to the most important vessels for transporting water and minerals.

In this article, we have collected material on the topic "tree leaves" and "tree structure". Acquaintance with the tree begins for the child in his earliest childhood.

Each yard has its own good-natured giant, who will gladly shelter from the scorching sun, rain, share fallen leaves and dry twigs for all kinds. However, many children perceive trees as nameless satellites, not thinking about the fact that each of them has its own name, has a complex structure and performs important tasks. Therefore, with a deeper study of trees, kids make many discoveries for themselves.

For example, children will be interested to know what parts a tree consists of. To do this, we use a schematic image of a tree and talk about each part of it:


  1. The roots of a tree are its foundation. They feed the tree by absorbing the nutrients dissolved in the water, and also keep it upright. The larger the tree, the richer its root system.
  2. The trunk of a tree is, as it were, its body. All the substances extracted by the roots pass up the trunk, while branches begin to depart from the trunk. It is important to note that a real tree has one trunk, but shrubs have several, even large, trunks.
  3. Tree branches - support for leaves; it is on the branches that buds are formed, from which leaves and flowers then appear. Nutrients also pass through them. Over time, the branches become wider and harder (woody), and new branches appear from them.
  4. The foliage of a tree is an organ that allows the tree to exchange substances with environment. Thanks to the leaves, the tree absorbs carbon dioxide harmful to humans from the air, here, under the action of sunlight, carbon dioxide is formed from it. organic matter, and through the leaves, the tree releases the oxygen we breathe out.
  5. All the leaves and branches of the tree form its crown - a lush hat that gives shade and shelters us from the rain.

Having studied the structure of a tree, you can proceed to the next stage - to find out how it comes into being. Where and how do trees grow? The answer to this question can be represented in the form of a circular diagram.


So, we analyze the whole life cycle fruit tree:

A seed is the source of life for every plant, including a tree. It contains a small germ and an initial supply nutrients, which the embryo needs in order to germinate through the seed coat. Once in the soil, the embryo begins to actively develop, pecks through the shell, grows and puts out roots, with which it absorbs the substances necessary for its growth from the ground.

After many years, the embryo turns into a tree, which, having reached a certain age, acquires the ability to reproduce its own kind.

In spring, buds form on the branches of a tree, in which an organ of amazing beauty and smell develops - a flower.

The flower of a fruit tree is arranged in such a way that when pollinated (by wind or insects), a small rudiment of the fruit is formed in it.


The beginning of its development and rapid growth occurs in the spring, when buds are actively formed on the branches, from which leaves and flowers subsequently appear. No wonder it is said that in spring the trees come to life after a winter sleep.

In summer, the trees appear before us in all their glory. They constantly interact with the outside world, feed, replenish the reserves of substances necessary for their life. The leaves of the trees are constantly working in the summer, turning into a real factory for processing carbon dioxide, and producing oxygen and nutrients from it.

All vital processes in the tree are declining: the daylight hours become shorter, and the amount of sunlight is not enough to form new chlorophyll molecules in the leaves, so the foliage gradually changes its color and falls off. Leaf fall not only saves the tree's strength, which it will need to survive the harsh winter, but also saves tree branches from breaking off, which can occur under the weight of the fallen snow.

The tree seems to freeze. It economically spends the reserves accumulated over the summer and is looking forward to the arrival of the first spring warmth.

But not all trees go through such a cycle of transformations, but only those that have leaves, that is, deciduous ones. But the trees, whose branches are covered with needles - needles (coniferous) all winter look the same as in summer.

The most famous coniferous tree is. Of course, it became famous thanks to the Russian tradition of decorating spruce branches on New Year's Eve. Spruce reproduces with the help of cones that form during the summer.

But of the deciduous trees, the most common are:

  • - a tree with bright berries and beautiful jagged foliage, which looks especially impressive in autumn. There is a version that it was called mountain ash because its leaves are quite small and, when the wind blows, they tremble, causing ripples in the eyes of the one who looks at it.

  • Birch is a symbol of Russia, a unique tree with white bark. Its very name comes from a Slavic word meaning "shine, turn white." The birch is also interesting for its flowers, which look like earrings, and the fact that its branches are very long and thin, they seem to hang down.

  • Poplar is a frequent companion of human habitation. Poplars are planted near houses because they grow quickly - which means they start to purify the air early and absorb well excess moisture. In the wild, poplar is often found in wetlands, for which it got its name, which in translation from Slavic means "marshy place, swamp." Poplar fruits are boxes from which seeds are spilled, covered with many silky hairs - poplar fluff. This fluff gives people a lot of inconvenience, so poplars are often cut off, leaving only non-fruitful branches at the top.
  • Oak - a tree - a giant, especially revered by our ancestors. Its fruits - acorns - were used to make a drink that replaces coffee, but oak bark and wood, which is distinguished by its strength and beautiful color, have found even greater use among people.

  • Maple - the owner beautiful leaves with sharp edges. A sweet aromatic maple syrup is obtained from its juice.

  • Elm is a tree, wood, branches and bark of which people have used for the manufacture of furniture, tools and even weapons since ancient times. Elm bark (bast) is strong and flexible, various objects were tied to it, for which the tree got its name. Shoes were woven from bast.

  • Chestnut is a tree with unusual fruits, the core of which resembles a nut. It is believed that the word "chestnut" has the same root with the word "porridge", since chestnut fruits were often eaten.

  • Willow is a tree with unusual long branches and narrow leaves. Its name comes from the word "twist", which is explained by the main use of willow branches - baskets were woven from them, furniture was woven.

In order to better remember the names of the trees, you can play a simple game: shuffle the cards with the image of the leaves and the trees themselves, and then match them and name them.

From the leaves you can make a very interesting visual aid for children. To do this, you need to collect leaves different types and laminate them.


Cut out the leaves slightly stepping back from the edge.


We get a living manual for the study of leaf types.


Print on a separate piece of paper the names of the trees from where you collected the leaves. The name of the tree is compared with the leaf itself, studying and memorizing its shape and structural features.


Images of leaves are more visible in coloring pages, where you can see their contour and give color depending on the expected season and shades characteristic of a particular tree.

Hello, friends!
Today we are waiting for a new issue of the biological finger theater with a question from why Arina and Katerina Lazarev, who was sent by their mother Tatyana, author of the blog "Together with Mom". The girls have already come to the rubric, and today we will deal with the botanical issue: Why do flowers appear on trees first and then leaves?

The elephant is already ringing the bell.

Chapter 1


Elephant: I declare a new representation of BioTOP open.
kaffir raven: BioTOP! Biotope! Hearing the case of pollination.
Meerkat: We will fight the dust? I have just the right tail. If you rub it with a plastic comb and fluff it, dust easily collects on it. Like iron to a magnet.
Elephant: We will deal with the matter of dust another time. And now we will talk about pollen and its transfer from flower to flower.
Meerkat (grumbled): Then the name "pollination" is inaccurate, it should have been called "pollination".



Dragonfly(rolls her eyes dreamily): How opportune that we will deal with pollination today! After all, my candidate, a great specialist in this problem, is flying to us. And what a glamorous pink color he has!
Galapagos Albatross: Not the tiny hummingbirds you're talking about, Dragonfly?
Dragonfly: Sometimes they are called "northern hummingbirds". But these are not birds.

A pink bullet flashed through the air. Something whistled past Owl's ear.
Owl(goggling eyes): Fathers! Shoot! Get down!
Everyone lay down in the grass, peering ahead. Nothing happened. But then an unfamiliar voice came from behind.
Voice: And what's in there? Are you looking for something interesting?
The mudskipper jumped in surprise. And the Elephant slowly turned back, her eyes converged to the bridge of her nose. There was a small bright pink spot in front of the trunk.

Dragonfly: Meet! This is my deputy! Hawk hawk.
Hawk hawk: Wine hawk. At your service!
Owl: Well, you have chosen a candidate for yourself, Dragonfly! Moth hawk - that's what the people call a drunkard. Not only is a drunkard, but also wine!
Kaffir Raven: Where was your head, Dragonfly, when we invited a candidate with bad habits to our team?
Elephant: What do you say in your defense, Wine hawk?



wine hawk(sang piercingly):

THE SONG OF THE WINE HAWK
(

I'm called the wine hawk,

But I only swear to you
What about deep drunkards,
As a class I do not belong!

I'm indifferent to braga
There is no truth in wine!
No cravings for beer
Alcohol is not for me.

I feed on nectar
Among the night flowers -
Their fragrant charms
Ready to surrender.

On vine leaves
I start life.
In honor of these wine berries,
Call me my friends!

Once a greedy clerk,
Suddenly regretted the ink:
He is the name "grape"
Reduced to "wine".

Fell victim to the bureaucrat
My noble family
Let's say guys
Boycott in vain!



Kaffir Raven: Wow, what a harmful clerk got caught!
Dragonfly: You see! He was slandered. The wine hawker is not a drunkard at all. He is the largest specialist in antecology!
mudskipper Q: What kind of science is this? Antenna?
orangutan: If my memory serves me, this is the science of flowering and pollination. After all, "anthos" is translated from Latin as "flower".
Wine hawker: Quite right, dear Orangutan!
Octopus: Then, you will definitely be able to say why trees first have leaves, and then flowers.

Chapter 2


Orangutan: I always wondered how the flowers manage to grow ahead of the leaves? After all, in order for flowers to appear, sugar must accumulate. And sugar, just, the leaves produce.
wine hawk: Flowering before leaves is obtained in those plants that have a supply of sugar.It takes a lot of sugar to produce pollen.In trees, such a reserve is in the branches.At a birch, for example.
Meerkat(licking): Is that why birch sap is so sweet?
wine hawk: Absolutely right! In winter, the leaves of the trees fall. But before that, they give the branches all the sugar they have produced. Trees stand with bare branches, tall. They bloom in the spring when there are no or very few pollinators. Trees do not count on their help, but turn to the wind as a carrier of pollen. Therefore, the flowers of spring trees are very economical - odorless and nectar, small and inconspicuous, collected in earrings.



Meerkat (mentally, hanging the birch with earrings): Something I did not notice on the birch earrings.
orangutan (noticing the expression on the face of the Meerkat): Earrings are not Jewelry, but inflorescences that sway in the wind near birch, poplar, alder, aspen, hazel.
wine hawk: Yes, they are a bit like fluffy caterpillars.
orangutan (quickly glancing at another expression on the squeamish face of the Meerkat): Our Meerkat has a very vivid imagination.
Owl: You, Wine hawk, would have been better off showing the Meerkat what these catkin inflorescences of yours really look like. And then, he imagined caterpillars in earrings.
Meerkat(looked suspiciously at Owl): Here and there. Earrings separately - caterpillars separately.
wine hawk(smiling): We can see such earrings only in spring, but I have photos.

The wine hawk showed photos of the inflorescence of the catkin.



Meerkat: Indeed, caterpillars! I have a riddle! Remember last time we learned

MYSTERY ABOUT INFLOWERING EARRING
(

On the birch: oh-oh-oh!
Who hung upside down?
These are caterpillars in a row,
Bent legs,
And swing, hang,
Scattering crumbs.

Dragonfly Q: Why do they have such a similar shape?
Wine hawker: It is very convenient for the pollen to spill out at the slightest breeze. After all, pollination in spring trees with catkins most often occurs with air currents.

Orangutan: Plants that are pollinated by the wind are called anemophilous.
Owl: Well, what kind of anthropoid are you! Simply put, wind pollinated plants.
Dragonfly: But, you are all talking about pollen. Does this mean that all the flowers in the earring are boys? After all, pollen is male cells.
wine hawk: Your assumption is correct, dear Dragonfly. Earrings are a convenient form for male inflorescences. And there is a lot of pollen in them.
Owl: You won't understand these trees. As soon as the snow melts, they are already blooming. Wait until it warms up.
wine hawk: But when it gets warmer, leaves will appear.
Owl: So what? Let them appear. What do they interfere with?
wine hawk Q: Let's do an experiment! Then we'll find out.

Chapter 3




Materials: Dark paper, white gouache or white corrector, adhesive tape, scissors, a plate of flour, tree branches, paper leaves, clothespins.

Attention! Experiment outside, or in the bathroom, as there will be flour everywhere.

1. On dark paper, draw white outlines of birch trees. Pay attention to the shape of the branches hanging down. Such branches sway better in the wind. Make two copies.
2. On the branches of birches, stick pieces of adhesive tape, sticky side up. You can use double-sided tape, or roll one-sided into a ring. These pieces of adhesive tape will symbolize female birch flowers with pistils on which pollen should fall. Let's put one of the copies vertically, leaning against a support.
3 . Insert tree branches into clothespins or press down with a pebble. We put them at a distance of 50 cm in front of the picture with adhesive tape. These are our trees from which pollen will fly.




4. Put 1 teaspoon of flour on a plate. Flour will be our pollen. Let's bring the plate to the trees and forcefully blow on the flour, causing it to scatter in the direction of the painted grove.
5. Consider tape. Has flour stuck to it? How dusty is the background?
6. Cut out leaves from paper and use tape to attach them to the branches.



7. Let's replace the background grove with the second instance. Let's repeat the experiment with flour.
8. Compare results. And draw your own conclusions.






Meerkat: Wow! Leaves interfere with pollination!
wine hawk: Right! You need to spend tens of times more pollen for pollination to occur. And there is not enough sugar for that.
orangutan: Those flowers that had time to open before the leaves appeared were more likely to produce seeds. Therefore, the trees bloom before the leaves appear.
Meerkat: And now I understand why birches grow in whole groves! To make pollination easier.
Wine hawker: Wonderful observation! Well done! Wind pollinated plants grow in groups. And the pollen from the earrings begins to crumble at a certain time. For example, in the morning. This improves pollination efficiency and conserves pollen.
Dragonfly: And snowdrops are in a hurry to bloom until the leaves appear on the trees?
Wine hawker: That's right, dear Dragonfly. Snowdrops in the forest bloom as long as the light falls under the trees. Leaves will appear, create a shadow.
Octopus: But the wind blows wherever it pleases. Will self-pollination occur? After all, the seeds then turn out to be weak, unable to germinate?

Chapter 4


Orangutan:Self-pollination is an undesirable thing for a plant. Although there are some plants that self-pollinate normally. For example, peas. Another hoof. Self-pollination is a necessary measure.
wine hawk: Plants have found interesting solutions to prevent self-pollination. They divided bisexual flowers into male and female.
Meerkat: What is it like?
Wine hawker:

ABOUT MALE AND FEMALE FLOWERS
(

If a flower, people
There are pistil and stamens
He will be bisexual
Please take this into account!


If there are only stamens,
At the head - dust grains of dust.
We have such a flower
It's called male.

If the pistil is lonely -
We call the flower feminine.


orangutan: Moreover, to prevent self-pollination, the flowers are separated by time. Male flowers on the tree bloom a little earlier than female ones.

wine hawk: Right! Or the flowers are separated by space. For example, female flowers grow on one tree, and male flowers on another. Like poplar, willow, nettle, date palm.



Meerkat: Ah... So that's why my potted palm doesn't give dates! She can't pollinate.
Wine hawker: On plantations of date palms, twigs with male flowers are even grafted onto female plants.
mudskipper: That would be appreciated by the Angler! After all, people did what deep-sea anglers do. They have a small male, sticks to a huge female, and they grow together so as not to look for each other in the dark. So a man grafts a small twig of a male palm tree onto a huge female one.
Meerkat: This is how I need to do it! To grow a branch on my palm tree. Does the wind also pollinate the palm tree?
wine hawk: Wind, wind.

Owl: There is something wrong with you! I have seen more than once how bees and bumblebees collected pollen from spring trees! And you say that the wind pollinates them! Lies! Bees pollinate them!

Wine hawker: Dear Owl, the main thing for plants is that pollen gets on the pistil, and how this happens is a secondary issue. Often plants combine several methods. And let's, in order to resolve our dispute, we will ask the bee itself.

Chapter 5


Owl: Dear bee! Can I have you for a minute!

Bee: Hello!

Owl: I saw how you take pollen from trees in spring. So, bees partially pollinate birch, poplar, aspen?

Bee: I think no. They have some strange pollen. Small, smooth, dry. No taste in it, no aroma. Dust particles slide off us, and do not stick. What a difference, dandelion pollen! Large, fragrant. It sticks easily into balls. You will fill full baskets with legs with it, and you will also bring it to the hive on a body.



Owl: But willow then, do you pollinate?

Bee: We pollinate the willow. She has tasty and sticky pollen. She sticks to us well.

Owl: Then why do you collect dry and tasteless pollen?

Bee: So, we take it, because there is nothing else. That's when the willow blooms, we switch to it. And so - on bezrybe and poplar fish.
Orangutan: In the spring, even starving spiders eat pollen that has fallen into the network.
Mud Jumper: Why do you need pollen, Bee? Don't bees collect nectar for honey?
Bee: We also take pollen. From pollen we make bread for children - perga. Without such bread, they will die.Most best flowers those that have nectar and pollen! They are noticeable from afar both in appearance and aroma. They give both honey and perga for the bees.

mudskipper (speaking to the orangutan): And what are these flowers called correctly?

orangutan:Entomophilous.

Owl: And in a simple way - insect infested.

Bee: I have no time to chat with you! I flew.


Chapter 6


The bee flew away, and from somewhere in the grass a voice was heard:

mudskipper (bouncing): Oh, talking wire!


SONG OF THE DODDLE

(

I consider the leaves to be a flaw,
I hate green.
And I won't be photosynthesising
I get myself lunch!

I am not a green peasant.
Stronghold of the aristocracy!
Let me in the hot sun
The green rabble is working!

I'm proud of my roots
They rise above the earth
And become a thin princess
Outshine the plants!

Orangutan:Dear Dodder, I'm afraid you have no place in our clearing.

Elephant: Care to explain your words, Orangutan? Why are you oppressing the lady?

Dodder(squirming): I protest! I will complain! Give me a complaint book!

Albatross flew away with Dodder in its beak.




Elephant: Here is the insidious person Dodder! But, Kaffir Raven, write down a valuable thought. We should start a book of complaints and suggestions. We must not be separated from the people!



Wine hawker: Have you tried mango? Now, if you strengthen its specific bad smell, you get the smell of bats. After all, mangoes are pollinated by flying dogs, and they also distribute the fruits.
Meerkat (rolling eyes thoughtfully): Flying dogs....
Owl(looking at Meerkat's face): Bat dogs are big bats.
Meerkat: Dogs?
Owl (waving a wing at Meerkat): It will be necessary to pay attention to the mango. Mouse is good.
mudskipper: What are the names of flowers pollinated by bats?
orangutan: Chiropterophilic.
Owl: You will break your tongue. Chiroptero...

Wine hawker: In the 18th century, there lived a talented scientist Erasmus Darwin, who wrote an amazing botanical poem "The Love of Flowers", it is just about the secrets of flowers and their pollination.
Owl: Is he a relative of the same Darwin who wrote about evolution?
Wine hawker: Erasmus Darwin is his grandfather. And I have in store, written in his style.
The wine hawker began to recite poetry, but not everyone understood high poetry. And the Meerkat listened to the images with such an expression on his face that the Elephant was worried about his vivid imagination. As soon as the poems ended, Meerkat rushed off to look at the pollen of flowers under a microscope, hoping to see ships and horses in it.

Owl: Now try to separate the knights from the pollen for the Meerkat.
Dragonfly: How much we learned today that everything is messed up!

Kaffir Raven: No problem! I wrote everything down! I know how to sort out all the signs of pollination of flowers. Let's play one very interesting game "POLLINATION".
Elephant: Let's play! Let's play! I declare the show closed!

Botanical game "POLLINATION"



Rules of the game: The game is designed for 2-5 players. It is possible to increase the number of players by duplicating fields with signs of pollination.

1. Print out the fields. If necessary, print the fields with characteristics.
2 . Glue three cubes with signs for pollination in flowers. Or glue the names of the features on the edge of a plastic or wood cube.
3 . Distribute one board with the traits per player: "Wind Pollination", "Water Pollination", "Insect Pollination", "Bird Pollination", "Bat Pollination".
4. Throw three dice at the same time, and if the sign on the edge matches the sign on the player's field, the cell next to it is closed with a flower chip.
5 . The player's task is to collect all the signs for the plant as quickly as possible.
PS: On the "wind pollinated" field, to equalize the chances, you need to collect only 5 signs out of 7.
