Progress of the conversation:
Educator. Guys, do you know that our country celebrates April 12 (children’s answers)
.
Today we will talk about how people began to explore outer
space and why
April
12 became a holiday. Guys, tell me, who is Yu. A. Gagarin? (answers
children). On April 12, 1961, Soviet cosmonaut Yu
.
A. Gagarin
launched from
Baikonur
cosmodrome Vostok spacecraft and for the first time in the world made an orbital flight around the planet Earth.
The flight in near-Earth space
lasted 108 minutes.
Guys, we also have heroes who flew into space
and returned safely to earth.
They flew into space before Yu
.
A. Gagarin. Who guessed who we were talking about? (children's answers)
.
That's right! This is Belka and Strelka. of Cosmonautics
well .
On August 19, 1960, the second spacecraft
into Earth orbit.
The launch took place from Cosmodrome
at 15:44.
The weight of the satellite ship without the last stage of the launch vehicle was 4.6 tons. On board the spacecraft
were Belka and Strelka, as well as mice, insects, plants, fungal cultures, seeds of corn, wheat, peas, onions, some types of microbes and other living ones creatures.
On August 20, 1960, the lander with animals on board landed safely. The flight of Strelka and Belka lasted more than 25 hours. During this time, the satellite ship made 17 complete orbits around the Earth. The successful journey of Belka and Strelka proved the ability of living organisms to withstand all the factors of space flight
. The dogs, returning to Earth, became real heroes.
Guys, do you know what the solar system is? (children's answers)
.
The solar system consists of planets that revolve around our sun. In addition to planets, the Solar System also consists of moons, comets, asteroids, minor planets, dust and gas. Everything in the solar system revolves around the sun. The Sun contains about 98% of the mass of all objects in the Solar System. The larger an object, the greater the force of gravity it has. The Sun is so huge that its powerful gravity attracts all other objects in the solar system. Does anyone know how many planets revolve around the sun? (children's advice)
. 9 planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto.
What is the moon? (children's answers)
. The Moon is a natural satellite of the Earth; it revolves around our planet for at least 4 billion years. This is a stone ball about four times the size of the Earth. The moon revolves around the Earth, and the Earth revolves around the Sun. While our planet orbits the Sun. 1 year passes for us, the Earth also rotates around its axis in 24 hours.
Lesson summary
:
Guys, our lesson has come to an end.
. We repeated what we knew and learned a lot of new things!
Russia, as a space power, has a large number of achievements in the field of astronautics. Let's remember the main milestones in the history of Russian space science and practice.
Humanity has long dreamed of flying to the stars, of soaring beyond the Earth. Since time immemorial, people have fantasized about flying to the Moon, to the planets of the solar system, to distant mysterious worlds.
In 1911, the prophetic thought of Konstantin Eduardovich Tsiolkovsky sounded: “Humanity will not remain forever on Earth, but, in pursuit of light and space, it will first timidly penetrate beyond the atmosphere, and then conquer the entire circumsolar space.”
Tsiolkovsky is called the “father of astronautics”, “the founder of astronautics”. A self-taught teacher from Kaluga, Konstantin Eduardovich devoted his life to the study of space and interplanetary communications. He was the first ideologist and theorist of human exploration of outer space. Tsiolkovsky's famous works on aviation, rocket navigation and space flight have become classics of technical thought.
Korolev Sergey Pavlovich
- a leading scientist and designer in the field of rocketry and space research, academician, twice hero of socialist labor, laureate of the Lenin Prize. He stood at the origins of Russian cosmonautics. Korolev is the Chief Designer, under his leadership satellites and spaceships were created.
On this day, a message was heard on the Moscow radio air: “...As a result of a lot of hard work by research institutes and design bureaus, the world's first artificial Earth satellite was created. On October 4, 1957, the first satellite was successfully launched... Currently, the satellite describes elliptical trajectories around the Earth... Artificial Earth satellites will pave the way for interplanetary travel..."
.
The message from Radio Moscow was immediately repeated by all radio stations in the world. The Russian word “sputnik” was heard on different continents and in different languages of the planet.
The conquest of space has begun - a new era in the history of earthly civilization. For the first time, a man-made aircraft flew into space and became an artificial celestial body.
Sputnik 1 went down in history as one of the greatest human creations of the 20th century. Western newspapers called him a “Russian miracle,” “a feat of which all humanity can be proud.”
Today the first satellite appears to us to be small and very simplified. A metal ball with a diameter of 58 cm and a weight of 83.6 kg contained two radio transmitters, its antennas had a length of 2.4 to 2.9 meters. But the launch of Sputnik marked a turning point in the development of science and technology. The first orbits of the satellite became the first steps of world astronautics.
And less than a month later, on November 3, 1957, a second satellite appeared in the sky. Sputnik 2 was equipped with various research instruments, onboard power supplies, recording equipment, and most importantly, it was inhabited. The dog Laika went into space in a special container installed on it.
Then there was the third satellite - a gigantic laboratory for that time with a total weight of 1327 kg.
Now there are many man-made devices orbiting the Earth, called satellites.
or artificial satellites. Some satellites collect and transmit information to scientists on Earth. Others pick up radio, television and telephone signals and send them through outer space to other points on Earth (satellite communications).
Moon exploration
1959 was called the year of the moon. In January, the first Soviet interplanetary station, Luna-1, went to the Moon. In September, the first flight from Earth to another celestial body - to the Moon - was made; the Luna-2 station delivered pennants there. In October, for the first time, man saw the far side of the Moon, which was photographed by the Luna-3 station.
Then there were several more launches to the Moon. Each team collected new rock samples and other data. Scientists are still studying moon rocks to better understand how the Moon was formed and how evolution took place here millions of years ago. This information can help unravel many of the mysteries of the formation of the Earth.
Man in space
Almost half a century has passed since the day when man first left his native planet - April 12, 1961
.
What does this day mean to us? Orange spacesuit, white pressure helmet, red letters “USSR”. And hands raised in a solemn farewell gesture. The mighty roar of engines. A flood of fire and smoke. Gagarin
resounding throughout the world .
In 2014, Yu.A. celebrated his 80th birthday. Gagarin
“Vostok” started at 9:07 am. The earth heard a voice from space and knew the situation. People from all continents watched the space flight with bated breath. At 10.55, Vostok and its pilot landed near the village of Smelovka, Saratov region. 108 minutes united the planet with a single concern for the fate of the hero, racing in the vastness of the Universe, and then with a single delight. "Triumph of the 20th century. A great achievement in history. Grandiose!”, “Major Gagarin has the honor of completing the most daring and fantastic journey ever undertaken by man,” the newspapers of the world wrote. Man burst into space, crossed the threshold of the inaccessible, circled his planet, looked at it from the side. Years and decades have passed, people have achieved new victories in space exploration. But the flight of Yuri Gagarin will forever remain the brightest event in the history of civilization.
Valentina Vladimirovna Tereshkova
- the world's first female cosmonaut, Hero of the Soviet Union, Major General. In June 1963, aboard Vostok 6, she took part in a group flight of two spacecraft at once. The flight lasted almost three days. Tereshkova’s call sign for the duration of the flight is “Seagull”; the phrase she said before the start: “Hey! Heaven, take off your hat!
Svetlana Evgenievna Savitskaya
(b. 1948) - Soviet cosmonaut, the second female cosmonaut in the world (the first was Valentina Tereshkova) and the first female cosmonaut in the world to go into outer space. The only woman twice Hero of the Soviet Union, Honored Master of Sports of the USSR (1970). Pilot-cosmonaut of the USSR (1982).
Elena Kondakova
- the third Russian female cosmonaut and the first woman to make a long flight into space.
Her first flight into space took place on October 4, 1994 as part of the Soyuz TM-20 expedition, returning to Earth on March 22, 1995 after a 5-month flight at the Mir orbital station.
Kondakova's second flight as a specialist on the American spacecraft Atlantis (shuttle) as part of the Atlantis expedition STS-84 took place in May 1997.
The first earthling to go into outer space was the Soviet cosmonaut A.A. Leonov.
This happened in March 1965.
But, as Gagarin said, these victories were not achieved without bloodshed. There were also tragic moments in the history of Russian cosmonautics.
On April 23, 1967, the Soyuz-1 satellite spacecraft flew with cosmonaut V.M. Komarov .
During the descent to Earth, the astronaut died due to a failure of the parachute system.
On June 6, 1971, the flight of cosmonauts V.N. took place. Volkova, G.T. Dobrovolsky and V.I. Patsaev on the Soyuz-11 satellite and the Salyut orbital station. During the descent to Earth, due to depressurization of the ship's cabin, the astronauts died.
The profession of an astronaut requires enormous courage, excellent physical fitness, and professionalism.
Space stations
The duration of space flights gradually increased from several hours to several months, a year or more. Astronauts can stay at space stations for a long time. Their life in space helps scientists on Earth better understand the influence of gravity and other features on the human body. The first such space laboratory was the Salyut station, launched in 1971. A total of 7 Salyuts were launched into orbit, which replaced and complemented each other.
1986 they were replaced by the Russian space station "Mir"
as more advanced and efficient. The Mir station is a whole hotel in orbit; its design allowed the simultaneous mooring of not two, but six spacecraft or special compartments - modules to the station at once. The Mir station carried out space service for 15 years. In 2001 it ceased to exist. After leaving orbit, it entered the dense layers of the atmosphere, part of it burned up, and part of it fell into the Pacific Ocean.
Currently, a joint project of 15 countries (Germany, Denmark, Spain, Italy, Russia, USA, Japan, etc.) is operating in orbit - the International Space Station
(ISS). It consists of large laboratories for international space research. The crew includes cosmonauts from countries participating in the project. Currently, 38 long-term expeditions have visited the ISS.
Space tourism is also actively developing. Many people are willing to pay a lot of money to see our blue planet with their own eyes from the window of a spaceship.
In November 2011, the 3rd stage of the Mars-500
, during which 6 crew members spent 520 days in isolation. The project simulated a manned flight to Mars, during which six volunteers were in a closed complex.
If we talk about the future, then the plans for further space exploration are grandiose. This includes an expedition to Mars, exploration of the Moon, and continued exploration of outer space in order to discover “brothers in mind.” Wait and see…

Progress of the conversation
:
(The teacher begins the conversation) Earth is the planet on which we live, it is the only planet in the solar system on which life exists. People, plants and animals live on Earth because there is water and air. It revolves around the Sun and is the most beautiful and interesting of all the planets. The Sun is the closest star to Earth. Without the Sun there would be no life on Earth. Everything that happens on our planet is connected with the Sun: the change of day and night, the onset of winter or summer. During the day, the sun warms and illuminates our planet. All living things rejoice in sunlight and warmth. With the sunrise, nature awakens and comes to life.
In the evening we can see the moon and stars in the sky. The Moon is the Earth's satellite. It shines brightly in the night sky. People have always wanted to visit the moon, fly to the stars, and see the Earth from space.
Would you guys like to become astronauts?
Who are astronauts?
What do you think an astronaut should be like? (healthy, strong, knowledgeable, hardworking, courageous, resilient, etc.).
What can you see in the sky? (stars)
How many stars are there in the sky? (uncountable number)
The sky above our head is strewn with many stars. They look like small sparkling dots and are located far from the Earth. In fact, the stars are very large. And then one day, a man was looking at the starry sky and he wanted to know what kind of stars they were and why they were so bright. Scientists came up with special instruments - telescopes, observed and learned that there are other planets.
But people wanted to know if there was life on other planets. What creatures live there, are they similar to us, is there air on other planets. But to find out, you must fly to them. Airplanes were not suitable for this. Who knows why? (because the planets are very far away). And so scientists invented the first satellite, installed instruments on it and launched it into outer space. There were two dogs on board - a squirrel and an arrow, they successfully returned to Earth. And then in 1961, the first man went into space.
The first person who was able to go on a space journey was cosmonaut Yuri Alekseevich Gagarin. He made his flight on April 12, 1961 on a Vostok rocket. On this day our country Fr. This is a holiday of astronauts and people who participate in the creation of space rockets.
Let's play and form words from one family for the word "star".
How can you affectionately call a Star? (star)
If there are many Stars in the sky, then we will say what it is like? (stellar)
What is the name of the ship that flies to the stars? (starship)
What do they call a wizard in fairy tales who predicts the future from the stars? (astrologer)
Well done! Today you have learned a lot about space, astronauts, about our planet, and I think that you can be enrolled in the cosmonaut corps.
Conversation on the topic of Space in the senior group
Summary of a thematic conversation about space for children 5-6 years old
Author-compiler: Marina Viktorovna Vitskova, teacher of the MBDOU “Kindergarten “Golden Fish” of the Astrakhan region, Chernoyarsk district. This material will be useful for educators when conducting thematic conversations about space with children of senior preschool age. Goal: To expand children's knowledge about space and astronauts. Objectives: to promote familiarization with the history of space, broaden the horizons of children and develop their imagination. To foster feelings of patriotism and pride for one’s homeland.
Progress of the conversation:
Educator. Hello guys.
Guess the riddle and find out what we will talk about today. Mystery.
A bottomless ocean, an endless ocean, Airless, dark and extraordinary, Universes, stars and comets live in it, There are also inhabited, perhaps, planets.
Children. Space Educator. That's right, well done. Let's talk about space today. Many centuries passed before humanity found a way to overcome gravity and rise into outer space. Just a few centuries ago, no one could have imagined that the most convenient means of transportation was a rocket. Guys, do you know who the first astronaut was? What do you know about this person? When was the first space flight made? (Children's answers) Educator. The first cosmonaut is Yu.A. Gagarin. Yu. A. Gagarin on April 12, 1961 made the first orbital space flight in the history of mankind on the ship “Vostok-1” In a space rocket with the name “Vostok” He was the first on the planet to rise to the stars. The Spring Drops sing about this: Gagarin and April will be together forever! His call sign “Cedar” was recognized by all the inhabitants of our planet. Although Gagarin spent only 108 minutes in space, making only one revolution around the Earth, this was only the beginning - the beginning of human exploration of outer space, half a century has passed since then, but during this time cosmonauts from many countries, like men, have been in space , and so do women. Educator. Guys, tell me which female astronauts do you know? Children. V. Tereshkova, S. Savitskaya, E. Kondakova Educator. Listen to a poem about space.
It's so cool in space! It's so cool in space! Stars and planets In black weightlessness Float slowly! It's so cool in space! Sharp rockets at great speed, rushing here and there! It's so wonderful in space! It's so magical in space! Been to real space once! In real space! In the one that saw through, In the one that saw through a paper telescope! Physical school is being held
Everything is ready for the flight, (raise your hands forward, then up.) All the guys are waiting for rockets.
(connect your fingers above your head, imitating a rocket.) There is little time for takeoff, (march in place.) The astronauts stood in a row. (stand up with a jump - legs apart, hands on the waist.) Bow to the right, (to the left, bend to the sides.) Let's bow to the ground. (bends forward.) The rocket flew. (jumping on two legs) Our cosmodrome is empty. (squat down, then rise.) Educator. Children, which planets of the solar system do you know?
(Children's answers) The game is played: “Planets of the Solar System”
Purpose: to clarify the names of the planets of the Solar System. Practice naming and memorizing the planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto. Develop attention and memory. Material: a set of cards with images of planets - two cards per image. Progress of the game. The player first opens one card, names what is drawn on it and shows it to the others. Then he opens the second card, also names it and shows it. If the cards do not match, the player places them face down in their original places, and the right to move passes to the next participant. If a player opens two identical cards, he takes them for himself, but first he names which planet he chose and makes another move. If the player does not name the planet, he loses his turn. When the unpaired pictures are returned to their place, all the players try to remember where each picture is. At the end of the game, each player counts the pictures in pairs. The child who collected the most pairs of pictures won. Educator. Guys, what do you think was difficult about the first space flights? What qualities do you think an astronaut should have? (Children's answers) Educator. That's right, well done. An astronaut must have good health, be agile and strong, know a lot and be able to do a lot. Would you like to become an astronaut yourself? Children. Yes! Educator. Well done. Our conversation has come to an end. Thank you for your answers.

Educator.
The man looked at the starry sky and he wanted to know what kind of stars they were, why they were so bright? Scientists came up with special instruments - telescopes and, observing the starry sky, they learned that besides the Earth there are other planets - some smaller, others larger. What planets do you know?
The children answer.
Mars, Venus and many others. People wanted to know if there is life on other planets? And if there is, who lives there? Are these living creatures similar to people? But to find out about this, you need to fly to these planets. Airplanes were not suitable for this, because the planets were very far away. And scientists came up with rockets.
Who in Russia invented the first rocket?
The scientist and inventor Konstantin Eduardovich Tsiolkovsky lived in the city of Kaluga. (The teacher shows a portrait of a scientist.) He really loved watching the stars through a telescope, studied them, and he really wanted to find answers to the questions: “Is it possible to build a metal balloon that does not allow gas to pass through and floats forever in the air? Is it possible to fly to other planets using a rocket?” And he decided to design an aircraft that could fly to another planet. He carried out calculations, made drawings and came up with such an aircraft. But, unfortunately, he did not have the opportunity to do it.
And only many, many years later, another scientist-designer - Sergei Pavlovich Korolev (the teacher shows a portrait of the scientist) was able to design and manufacture the first space satellite, in which animals (dogs) first flew around the Earth, and then on April 12, 1961 he flew into space for the first time Human.
Who knows this man's last name? Who was the first astronaut on Earth?
The children answer.
It was Yuri Alekseevich Gagarin. (The teacher shows a portrait of Gagarin, the illustration “Start of the ship.”)
During the launch, flames broke out in the rocket engines; they all started working smoothly and simultaneously. The noise was incredible. But people still heard the kick, Gagarin laughed and said: “Let's go!” And at that same moment the rocket took off and disappeared into the blue sky.
Yuri Alekseevich was the first to see the whole Earth. (The teacher shows a view of planet Earth from space.) Not a piece, not a section, but all at once, entirely - from pole to pole. He flew and looked out the porthole window, and not just mountains and seas, and not just islands and continents floated under him, the whole planet floated and turned under him. In 108 minutes he flew around it. “How beautiful she is!” - Gagarin spoke on the radio to those who remained below.
What do you think an astronaut should be like?
Children's guesses.
First of all, an astronaut must have good health, he must be strong and resilient, because during a space flight a person experiences enormous overloads. Listen to what Yuri Gagarin felt during the world's first space flight. Writer Viktor Borozdin wrote about this.
The rocket rushed further and further from the Earth. Yuri Gagarin was reclining in a chair, unable to even move. The faster the rocket flew, the stronger the pressure on the chair.
The body suddenly became incredibly heavy. Arms, legs, every finger became not our own, as if cast from cast iron. Only a minute of flight passed, but it seemed to Gagarin that he had been flying for an hour. My chest felt tight and it became difficult to breathe.
And from Earth they were already asking on the radio: “How are you feeling?” You have to answer, but saying even one word is also not easy. It's hard to even open your mouth. And yet Gagarin found strength in himself: it was not for nothing that he trained so much before the flight.
“I’m fine, everything’s fine,” he said, “I’m flying normally.” I feel good.
The rocket was shaking. She seemed to be in a hurry to fly to the height that the scientists had indicated to her.
And suddenly it became quiet - the engine stopped working. But the ship was moving at great speed. The cabin no longer shook, and there was less and less pressure on the seat. Suddenly, Yuri felt that he was lifted above the chair, and his body weighed nothing. He raised his hand - it remained raised, raised his leg - it did not fall.
Gagarin wanted to write down his observations in a journal, looked, but the pencil was not there: it was floating around the cabin. He tossed the magazine and it hung in the air.
Gagarin didn’t want to eat or drink yet, but he had to try. After all, food in space also weighs nothing, and who knows if he will be able to swallow it? What if it gets stuck in your throat? On Earth I tried to eat upside down while standing on my hands. It worked. Well, what about here?
Gagarin’s food was special, “cosmic”. From a tube, the kind that toothpaste usually comes in, he squeezed the meat puree directly into his mouth. Swallowed it. Then I squeezed out fruit jam from another tube, and then currant juice. I swallowed everything. It was only when he was drinking juice that he accidentally spilled a few drops, and they floated through the air like black berries...
Educator.
You see how difficult it was for the first cosmonaut. Why do we say that an astronaut must be fearless?
Children's guesses.
Previously, people had never flown into space and did not know what they could encounter there. After all, there could be some malfunctions in the rocket. Therefore, when Yuri Gagarin first flew into space, all our people followed this flight, everyone was worried about the first cosmonaut. And when he landed safely, the whole country rejoiced. People took to the city streets. In Moscow, people gathered in the center, on Red Square, and this celebration continued until late in the evening. We were all proud that it was a Russian citizen who was the first in the world to fly into space.
The teacher shows illustrations of people on Red Square with posters: “Hurray! Gagarin", "Glory to our Motherland!"
After Gagarin's flight, a lot of cosmonauts visited space, including women - the world's first female cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova and Svetlana Savitskaya. (Shows portraits.)
What astronauts' names do you know?
The children answer.
Alexey Leonov is the first cosmonaut to walk into outer space. (Shows the portrait.)
Many cosmonauts flew into space more than once and worked there for several months. Currently, joint flights are being carried out with cosmonauts from different countries.
Our country appreciated the work of astronauts: all cosmonauts were awarded high awards.
But people don't stop there. They strive to explore everything distant and unknown - new planets and starry distances.
Maybe one of you will also become an astronaut or rocket designer, invent a rocket on which people can travel long distances and discover new planets.
