Event flow

Hello guys. We are very pleased to welcome you on an exciting, cognitive game "Space space"!

Rules of the game. Presentation of the jury, teams, fans and guests. Sounds anthem - Earth in the porthole.
Teams are sitting per desk. The quiz was attended by students 2 "b" class, 2 "a" class and 3 "b" class.


Our game is "outer space" - consists of 6 stages: team greetings, we are sages, task for captains, magic puzzle, crossword and award.

On April 12, 1961, Soviet cosmonaut Yu. A. Gagarin on the East-1 spacecraft launched from the Baikonur cosmodrome and for the first time in the world, the orbital deployment of the planet Earth was performed. The flight in the near-earth outer space lasted 108 minutes.
In the Soviet Union, the holiday was established by the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of April 9, 1962. Notes called Cosmonautics Day. This holiday is installed at the suggestion of the second pilot-cosmonaut of the USSR German Titov.
On March 18-19, 1965, Alexey Leonov, together with Pavel Belyaev, was flying into space as a second pilot on the spacecraft "Voskhod-2". During this flight, Leonov made the first in the history of cosmonautics to enter outdoor cosmos duration of 12 minutes 9 seconds. During the exit, exceptional courage was shown, especially in an abnormal situation, when a swollen space skateman prevented his return to the spacecraft. Log in the gateway Leonov managed, only by hiding out of the square of excessive pressure, while he climbed into the hatch of the ship is not legs, but head forward, which is prohibited by the instruction.

Stage 1. Greeting teams. The guys come up with the name of the team and the motto and represent themselves in front of other teams.




Stage 2. We are wise men.
The teams are distributed pencils, a clean sheet with a blank table grid, a handle, a sheet with encryption. Guys perform tasks.
1) from 12 pencils to make a geometric shape consisting of 5 squares (1Ball).




2) Remove 4 pencils so that 2 square remains (1 point).

3) Remember the location of the figures in the square, and then sketch the data of the figures (2 points)


4) Place the proposed stars in an increase in their size.
Sun - diameter 1,391,400 km,
Sirius - Diameter 2 million meters,
Regul - massive sun 3.5 times,
Aldebaran can be represented as an orange, and the sun is a pea.

5) In this encryption, you are invited to find as much encrypted words as possible, for each word the team gets-1 score, letters in words are not repeated (Appendix 1). (Heart, dream, courage, faith, happiness, good, sincerity, love, sympathy)


6) Answer questions:
- Why can you live on the moon? (no air)
3 stage. Task for team captains.
Build a rocket on the board, making up equality (they can be prepared as a task consolidation on the topic).



Guess the riddle:
The wings do not have this bird
But it is impossible not to marry:
Only blossoms the bird tail -
And rises to the stars.
Next, we look at the video of the first animals.



4 stage.Collect puzzles.
The guys are issued 3 pictures cut, as a puzzle (Appendix 2). Students are harvested for speed. Accordingly, it is obtained - 3 points, 2 points and 1 point. Try to tell about what is depicted on the puzzle. Teacher hangs an illustration on the board.



5 stage. Crossword.
Teams receive crossword puzzles. We carry the photo printing of crossword puzzle on the board, so we all check the answers together.




6 stage. Award.
While the jury summarizes the word fans - classmates.




We render every team of diploma.

Answers to the quiz of a young cosmonaut

1. K. E. Tsiolkovsky.

2. Academician S. P. Korolev.

3. October 4, 1957. On this day, in our country, an artificial satellite of the Earth was bred in orbit.

4. The day of cosmonautics in our country is celebrated on April 12. On this day, in 1961, Yu. A. Gagarin on the East satellite ship made the first space flight in the history of our planet.

5. 1959 - delivery of domestic pennants to the moon, photographing the reverse side of the lunar ball; 1966 - Implementation of a soft landing on the lunar surface, creating the first satellite of the moon.

6. On the planet Venus on March 1, 1966, the Vena-3 station delivered the pennant of our country. So the first interplanetary flight was completed.

7. No more than two, as the strength of gravity on the moon is 6 times less than on Earth.

8. This device will not act on the moon, since there is no atmosphere on its surface.

9. It is impossible, since the moon has a magnetic field.

10. Only the match of the match will flash, which contains oxygen in its composition. Normal burning in airless space is impossible.

11. It is impossible, since the sky of Venus is covered with a powerful layer of opaque clouds.

12. The pattern of constellations practically will not change, since the distance between the earth and Mars is negligible compared to the distance to the stars.

13. It is impossible. After all, the satellite is moving around the center of mass of the planet, and, therefore, its orbit should lie in the plane passing through the center of the Earth.

14. You can. To do this, it is necessary to remove the satellite into a circular orbit lying in the plane of the equator, and inform him the speed in the direction of the earth's rotation. At a certain height (about 40,000 km), the angular speed of rotation of the satellite coincides with the angular speed of rotation of the Earth around the axis. The circular equatorial orbit in such height is called stationary.

15. In the state of weightlessness, the body is losing weight, but not a mass. Therefore, with a convergence of two enough massive blocks, careless cosmonaut risks to be crushed.

16. Dumbbells in conditions of weightlessness are not advisable, as they will lose weight, and their mass is small; But the Eppender can be successfully used in weightlessness - after all, physical efforts have to be used when stretching its springs.

17. Venus.

18. Stars flicker, and planets shine with smooth light.

19. In the South Pole.

20. Meteor is an atmospheric phenomenon (combustion of cosmic particles in the air); Meteorite is a heavenly stone that fell on the ground.

21. Winter northern hemisphere. The land is in the perigelia, that is, in the next to the sun, the point of its orbit.

22. If the moon is visible in the form of the letter "C", then this is an old, decreasing moon.

23. You can call, for example, such names: Michelle Ardan and Mr. Barbiken from Roman J. Verne "From the cannon on the moon", Caver - from Roman Hwells "First People on the Moon", Gusev - from Roman A. Tolstoy "Aelita ", Erg Nor from Roman N. Efremova" Timbal Andromeda ", Gorbovsky, Walkenstein, Percy Dixon from Arkady's novels and Boris Strugatsky.

Quiz Cosmonautics Day for primary classes

purpose : Expand the horizon of students.

Registration : drawings and illustrations on the topic.

Teacher . Good afternoon, dear guys. We gathered today to note one of the outstanding holidays, which arose in the 20th century, is the anniversary of the first flight of a person in space, or in other words - the day of cosmonautics.

With deep ancient times, the stellar sky manifested man, but it was possible only recently to achieve him.

Log and Torner was the path of man into space. It stretches this path in thousands of years. And here the dream of people was carried out - a person conquers space.

For centuries, man looked into the sky. He walked around the ground and was not afraid to float far into the sea, but the sky was huge and incomprehensible to him. The man settled in the sky of the gods. But man wanted to rise there by himself. And then there were legends about people who can fly, fantastic novels appeared, the aircraft and remaining on Earth were constructed.

And now the twentieth century has come. Airplanes have already been flying in the sky, and the first rockets rose into space. People believed, the day is not far away when a person will fly into space.

And now, finally, April 12, 1961, Friday, ordinary work day. In the morning he was interrupted by the message: "All radio stations of the Soviet Union work! For the first time in the world! Man in space! "

Day April 12 became evidence of any, the most bold, human dreams. Since then, he is celebrated annually by humanity as World Cosmonautics Day.

The overall view of the space and the idea of \u200b\u200bthe study of outer space can cause many questions. Why is Pluto not planet? Is it possible to hear anything in space? How many space stations are currently in space? What happens when the cosmonaut eats gases in space?

Want to know the answers to these and many other questions? Before you - 25 cosmic facts that you always wanted to know!

25. How old is the sun?



Sun is about 4.6 billion years. Billion is a thousand million.

24. Are astronauts really go in diapers?



Yes: during the start of the spacecraft, return to Earth and everything they make outside the spacecraft or space station. Although they are called not "diapers", but the "maximum absorbing garment" (Maximum Absorbency Garment, or Mag).

23. Is it true that in space no one will hear your scream?



Well yes. What we hear are sound waves that actually represent vibrations in the air. There is no air in space, so there is nothing to vibrate there. Light and radio waves apply to space, but they do not need air to spread like sound waves.

22. When will the Gallea comet again fly past?



Comet Halley will be visible from the ground in 2061. An interesting fact: Mark Twain (Mark Twain) was born a year when Comet Gallei flew (1835), and died when she flew past the earth next time (1910). A year before his death, Mark Twain said: "I came with Gallei's comet, and I must leave with her."

21. Why is Cosmos black?



Because in the overwhelming part of the universe there is nothing, including light. Or maybe in the black space to which we look, there is light - we simply cannot see it with a human eye, or light waves are in hundreds of light years from us.

20. When do we actually go to Mars?



Currently it seems that the Mission scheduled for 2030 is our most realistic schedule. One of the main problems associated with sending people to Mars is finance.
So far, more and more people require money for NASA from the government, looking at the success of private programs, such as SPASE X, it is possible that the private sector or cooperation can help deliver us to Mars.

19. Is there any spy satellites in space?

You may not doubt! In fact, Japan has just, in March, launched one such satellite - "Radar 5" ("Radar 5") - to follow North Korea. Thank you for your attention, Japan!

18. Full moon every month falls on different days, so how long does the moon cycle last?



27.3 days

17. What are the names of the planets in our solar system, and what do they mean their names?



With the exception of the Earth, all the planets in our solar system are named after the gods and goddesses of the ancient Greek or ancient Roman mythology.
Pluto was the God of the underground kingdom; Mercury was a messenger of the gods; Venus was goddess love and beauty. Uranus was the god of the sky; Saturn was an ancient Roman god of agriculture; Mars was the god of war, Jupiter (the largest planet of our solar system) was named after God-Ruzhozhitsa; Neptune was the God of the Seas.

16. Then why did the land given exactly this name?


In fact, it is unknown. What we really know is that the word "earth" ("Earth") is derived from the English and German words meaning "soil, soil". Our planet is stunningly beautiful, mostly covered with water, and we called it ... Earth. Hi, humanity!

15. Is there really a mysterious "Planet X", which we cannot see in our solar system?



Probably. NASA found evidence of the existence of the planet size with Neptune at an even greater orbit of the Sun than Pluto, which, according to the calculations of astronomers, makes one full rotation around the Sun for 10,000 years.

14. Is it possible to get sick "cosmic madness"?


Not? But problems with mental health on Earth would also exist in space, and if stress from flight into space was a trigger, astronauts could have a failure or case of a disease in space, so ... yes?
In NASA, there were two separate studies in the field of mental health of astronauts (one - on the ISS, another - on the already no existing space station "Peace"), and the only interesting thing that appeared in the reports is "some tension", which in principle is what can happen to any person living at work with their colleagues. On the general mood or cohesion of the group, it did not mean anything negatively.
The test, imitating the year on Mars, was started on earth and ended in 2016. Participants of the study could not leave their habitat for a distance further than 366 meters, if there were no scafflers. There was some tension and stress, as well as some interpersonal problems.
Like the neighbors on the room in the hostel, one becomes friends the rest of your life, while others will not be friends even in Facebook. So there are no specific evidence that the time spent in space causes any specific "cosmic" mental health problems. However, if they have a person on Earth, he will have them after will leave the land (theoretically).

13. What happens if you bump into space?



Well, first, the released gas will not move, because there is no gravity so that heavily air moves somewhere, and there are no air flows so that it spreads.
Man just remains one on one in this gas "cloud". Fortunately, the spacecraft are made with modifications that are filtered by such ... hmm ... gases, and astronauts find their own ways to minimize their gases on other crew members, such as, for example, to do this in less used compartments of the ISS.

12. Why do stars seem flickering or flashing?



Because their light should overcome various layers of gases in our atmosphere. Think about it like about the light passing through the water that distorts the light and makes it "sparkle". In this case, the same basic principle is valid.

11. Can blood really boil in space if a person is without a skatera?



Yes. This is due to how pressure affects the boiling point of liquids. The lower the pressure, the lower the boiling point, because molecules are easier to move and begin to turn into gas from the liquid. That is why water on Elbrus, for example, boils faster than on the Caspian Sea coast. Thus, under the conditions of vacuum of outer space, the boiling point of blood can fall to normal body temperature.

10. What is the temperature in space?



Different. In some parts of the outer space, such as, near the stars, rather hot: there can be instantly evaporate, turning into a hot ash. Whereas in other parts, in deep darkness and on the surface of some planets, looking away from the suns or located far from them, quite cold.
In fact, it all depends on where you are. For reference, ISS (without a thermocontrol system!), Being on the sunny side, it would be raised to a temperature of 121 ° C, and would have a temperature of -157 ° C, while in the shadow of the sun.

9. How many garbage we left in space?



Hmm, well, we, people, little clog our own planet, so we began to litter and beyond it. Currently, there are more than 500,000 units of "cosmic garbage" in the Earth orbit, which are tracked because spacecraft may cause damage.
While some of them are small pieces of meteors, etc., who have fallen into orbit, most of the "cosmic garbage" represents the fact that we (humanity) raised into space and did not return back to Earth.

8. Were we really sent the Gold Plate of Aliens?


Yes. Or at least we sent it to where they could take it if they existed. The farthest artificial object in space is Voyager-1 (Voyager 1), and it was launched in 1977 together with Voyager 2 (Voyager 2).
Both automatic probe were to explore the distant planets of the Solar System, and Voyager-1 during the fulfillment of their mission went to the interstellar space.
Both "Voyager" on their board carry a gold record with greetings, music (for example, performed by Louis Armstrong, as well as some melodies performed on the Peruvian Swirls - a total of 27 different works of different styles and directions), the noise of the sea and the conversation of people, as well as images.

7. Is cosmos really look like "space pattern" that we see everywhere?



Not really. At least, not for the unarmed human eye, sorry. These superfantastics images are usually either processed in the wavelength range, which is usually not distinguished for the human eye, such as infrared or ultraviolet, or their color scheme is improving. But it does not mean at all that the cosmos is not fantastic and not beautiful - it just means that literally everything is exconed.

6. How many space stations are located in space?



Currently - two. International Space Station (ISS) and Space Agency Tiangong-1 (Tiangong-1), which belongs to China. While on board the ISS there is always a team, there are usually no people on Tianguna-1. The ISS is divided among themselves from Russia, USA, Japan, Canada and the European Space Agency (European Space Agency).

5. How far is the nearest star from us, except for our sun (which is the star)?



4.24 light year. It is called proxima Centaur. The best way to visualize is the distance: if you reduce the size of the sun and the proximation of the centaution to the size of the grapefruits, then they would still be from each other at a distance of about 4023 km (almost from Moscow to Krasnoyarsk). In reality, the sun is large enough so that more than 1 million lands could fit inside it.

4. Does any private companies exist such as Space X, plans to go to Mars?



Yes! In fact, Ilon Mask (Elon Musk) (Founder of Space X, Tesla and Paypal companies) in 2050-2100. Wants to establish a colony of people on Mars, consisting of a million people. While it sounds like a madness, Space X makes stunning things, and work schedules show that this is not a joke is a real goal.

3. Pluto was "reducing" from the planet to the dwarf planet, so what is the difference between them?



There is only one difference, and it is that the celestial body under consideration cleans the space around its orbit. The planet cleans the surrounding space, the dwarf planet - no.
Two other requirements applied to the planets and dwarf planets are as follows: 1) The planet under consideration is in orbit around the star, while herself is not a satellite; 2) has a sufficient mass to be round.

2. Since Pluto is now a dwarf planet, do other dwarf planets exist in our solar system?



Yes, in our solar system there are only 5 dwarf planets: Ceres (Ceres), Pluto (Pluto), Eris (Eris), Makemake (Makemake) and Haumea (Haumea).
Pluto is not even the biggest one. The largest dwarf planet of our solar system is Erida. It is almost 27% more pluto. Bonus fact: Erida - the goddess of contention in Greek mythology.

1. Is it possible to invade aliens to land?



Yes! Can it happen? Not really. And that is, there are several reasons: huge distances between stars and galaxies in space. (Most of us to realize it really can not.)
In addition, we have a lot of terrible problems of humanity. Why significantly advanced civilization spend years and resources to fly to us?
