Presentation "cosmonautics day" presentation for a lesson on the topic. Cosmonautics Day event with a presentation in elementary school Presentation topics for Cosmonautics Day


  • April 12 - Aviation and Cosmonautics Day (50 years)
  • 2011 is a jubilee year for Russian cosmonautics. It is from this that the chronicle of the conquest of outer space by man is considered. And the most pleasant thing about this anniversary is that our compatriot Yu.A. Gagarin became the pioneer of the conquest of the boundless space!


First human flight

The first human flight was the most difficult and dangerous, but the desire to conquer space of many thousands of people who took part in the preparation of the flight overcame all obstacles. In honor of this historic event, April 12 is celebrated around the world as World Aviation and Cosmonautics Day.



First man in space

On April 12, 1961, the whole world was shocked by the announcement of the beginning of a new era of space flight. On this day, Soviet cosmonaut Yu.A. Gagarin circled the planet Earth on the Vostok orbital spacecraft. He made one revolution around the globe, lasting 108 minutes.


  • Yuri Gagarin... A fearless space knight, a glorious son of our great Motherland. The man who conquered the sky. A man whose feat and smile conquered our planet. The first space flight lasted 108 minutes. Nowadays, when many months of expeditions are made on orbital space stations, it seems to be very short. But each of those minutes was a discovery of the unknown.


Man conquered space for the first time.

The holiday was established by the decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of April 9, 1962. Since 1968, the Russian Cosmonautics Day has also received official worldwide recognition after the establishment of the World Day of Aviation and Cosmonautics.


Flight duration

The flight of the first cosmonaut lasted 1 hour 48 minutes.

After one orbit around the Earth, the spacecraft's descent module landed in the Saratov region.

At an altitude of several kilometers, Gagarin ejected and made a soft landing on a parachute not far from the descent vehicle.






An astronaut is an explorer

The cosmonaut must not only know the program of research and experiments well, but also be able to work with scientific equipment. And every year the scientific programs of space flights are becoming wider and richer, the scientific equipment is becoming more complex and diverse.


Man and space

Aviation and Cosmonautics Day today

And on this momentous day

I would like to congratulate all those who raised this sphere

And put it on stream right away.


Our successes

Today we see the amazing success of space technology: tens of thousands of satellites are orbiting the Earth, spacecraft have landed on the Moon, Venus and Mars, several spacecraft have left the Solar System and carry messages to Extraterrestrial Civilizations.



Class hour "Cosmonautics Day" is designed to be held in classes from 5 to 11 inclusive or for a school-wide event. The presentation and the scenario of the classroom hour "Cosmonautics Day" involve from 1 (then it is a teacher) to 6 people as presenters (1 person starts and ends the presentation and distributes prizes, 4 people pronounce the text, 1 person, the so-called technical director, manages the need to change slides if this is not done automatically (bold italicized words in the text of the script are a signal to change slides).

Event progress

1. Organizational moment
The bell rang and fell silent
He took us all to class.
Guys, what time of year is it? (Spring)

2. Introduction to the topic
- Guys, what month is it now? (April)
- And what April holiday is approaching? You do not know? Then I will advise you.
(Slide #2)
- April 12, 1961 - on this day, for the first time, a man visited space - Yuri Alekseevich Gagarin, and therefore in the spring our country celebrates another holiday - COSMONAUtics DAY!
(Slide #3)
- Yu.A. Gagarin was born on March 9, 1934 in the city of Gzhatsk, Smolensk region (now the city of Gagarin). On April 12, 1961, he performed the world's first space flight on the Vostok satellite ship: circled the globe in 1 hour 48 minutes and returned safely to Earth.
One hundred and eight minutes of man's stay in space shocked the world. The motherland was waiting for him. His relatives were also waiting for him: his wife, two little daughters, who were only 2 years old, and the other 1 month old. Also waiting for Gagarin - parents, brothers and sister.
... Like a fairy-tale hero, he sank to the ground. The landing site was the vast lands of the collective farm, not far from the village of Smelovka, Saratov region. Gagarin saw a woman with a girl. The unusual appearance of the astronaut in a bright orange spacesuit frightened them a little.
(Slide number 4)
- “Our own, comrades, our own!” Gagarin called out to them. A few minutes later, tractor drivers and combine operators ran up to Yuri. He was hugged and kissed.
(Slide number 5)
- Guys, Yuri Gagarin is not the only cosmonaut who has been in space. After him, many other astronauts have flown and are flying. In addition to men, women also flew into space. The first female cosmonaut is Valentina Tereshkova.
(Slide number 6)
- Before Gagarin Yu.A. flew into space, dogs were sent. And the first was Laika.
(Slide number 7)
- Then the dogs flew - Belka and Strelka.
(Slide number 8)
Fizkultminutka - ophthalmic simulator
(Slide number 9)
- Guys, our occupation is unusual, today we will also visit space. But first we need to know who is an astronaut? What do you think?
(A person who works in space)
- Do you think anyone can become an astronaut?
- And what should be a real astronaut? What should a real astronaut be able to do?
- What should be the discipline? (children's answers)
- Of course, guys, not every person can become an astronaut. A real astronaut must be in good health, and most importantly, he must be hardy, because before flying into space you need to go through very difficult training.
(Slide number 10)
And also in space, astronauts are in weightlessness, and not everyone can withstand this, it is very difficult. He must be attentive, do everything right, know a lot, study well, read a lot about space, train his memory.
- But in order to go on a trip, you must obey all the above listed rules of the “Real Astronaut”, and most importantly, you must be careful!
- And in order to go into space, we need ... (Children solve a rebus)
(Slide number 11)
- That's right, rocket.
- You and I know what we fly into space.
- And now it remains for us to find out how we will eat in space, and what we will have to wear.
- An astronaut should not get lost in a difficult environment and should always be ready to go out and orient himself in any emergency.
- Guys, how many of you know the name of the clothes that the astronaut wears?
- That's right, this clothing is called a spacesuit.
(Slide number 12)
It saves and protects from fire and various damages. Of course, it is not very comfortable in it, it restricts movement, but it is safe. The suit has its own air supply system. If you connect an autonomous breathing system to it, then a person can go into outer space. This system is in the knapsack. They put it on behind the back, like your briefcases, only such a satchel weighs about forty kilograms. But in weightlessness, this weight is not felt at all.
There is no air in space, there is very low pressure, and astronauts need to know how to work in a spacesuit under these conditions. On the ground, rarefied air can be created in pressure chambers - this is a device in the form of a huge cylinder, from which air is pumped out and pressure is created, as at an altitude of 60 kilometers. Working at this height is just as dangerous as working in space.
- Guys, in space you need to know how to eat right! After all, there is weightlessness. If you chew without closing your mouth, or talk at the same time, then crumbs of bread, porridge will immediately fly out of your mouth and will float right in front of your nose. If any crumb, flying in zero gravity, gets into the windpipe, trouble can happen.
(Slide number 13)
- That's all, we are completely ready to fly! Everyone has already taken their places, sat up straight, put their hands on their knees, closed their eyes, prepared for flight,
(Slide number 14) (Intro - blue background)
- 5-4-3-2-1-0 START!!!
- Open your eyes, look around, imagine we are on another planet.
(Slide No. 14) (At the click of the mouse, the "Planet" appears)
- It is lifeless, we need to engender life here. And what will we do for this? Most importantly, we need...? (Air)
- And what else ...? (Water, fertile soil, orchards, forests, fields…)
- Why sow rye, wheat?
- Do we need animals and birds, insects?
- And most importantly, our planet will be clean. Therefore, we will call it Purity.
(Slide number 14) (At the click of the mouse, the name of the planet appears)
(Pre-prepared students read a poem)
Everything, everything, everyone in the world needs each other,
And midges are no less needed than elephants.
It is impossible to do without ridiculous monsters,
And even without evil and ferocious predators.

We need everything in the world, we need everything,
Who makes honey and who makes poison.
Bad deeds for a cat without a mouse,
A mouse without a cat is no better off.

Yes! If we are not very friendly with someone,
We still really need each other.
And if someone seems superfluous to us,
That, of course, would be a mistake.
Teacher: Everything, everything, everyone in the world needs each other,
And that's what you kids need to remember.
- And now, guys, we will go on a journey through the Galaxy.
(Slide number 15)
(Slides #16-33)

People have always been attracted by the distance,
They were forever called by the oceans.
And the cosmos lived slowly,
He was mysterious and scary. (A. Semyonov)

S.P. Korolev Sergei Pavlovich Korolev is a scientist who worked in the field of rocket and rocket and space technology. S.P. Korolev is an outstanding designer. He is rightfully the father of domestic rocket and space technology, which ensured strategic parity and made our state an advanced rocket and space power.

Who was the first to fly into space? The dog Laika was the first to fly into space. She spent several days aboard the artificial satellite, but they could not return her to Earth. In August 1960, the dogs Belka and Strelka set out on a space journey. There were also mice, insects and seeds on the ship. After the flight, the animals returned to their home planet and felt great. Astronaut dogs: Zvezdochka, Chernushka, Strelka and Belka (photo 1961).

On April 12, 1961, Yuri Gagarin went into outer space on the ship Vostok, becoming a space pioneer for all mankind. The 108 minutes he spent in space paved the way for other space explorers. In a short time since the first flight into space, man visited the Moon, explored almost all the planets of the solar system, but that first flight was the most difficult and dangerous. Confidence and optimism, the desire to conquer space overcame all obstacles. Addressing all the inhabitants of the Earth, before the launch on April 12, 1961, Yuri Alekseevich said: “Dear friends, relatives and strangers, compatriots, people of all countries and continents! In a few minutes, a mighty spaceship will take me to the distant expanses of the Universe. ship with a man on board was the merit of many, many people, and first of all, the general designer of spaceships, Sergei Pavlovich Korolev.

Cosmonaut training

The first exit of a man into outer space on March 8-19, 1965, Alexei Arkhipovich Leonov, together with P.I. Belyaev flew on the spacecraft "Voskhod-2" as a 2nd pilot. On March 18, 1965, Leonov first went into outer space, retired from the spacecraft at a distance of 5 m and spent 12 minutes in open space outside the airlock. 9 p.

On June 16-19, 1963, the first female cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova made a space flight as a pilot of the Vostok-6 spacecraft, lasting 2 days and 23 hours. It was the first flight of a female astronaut in the world.

ISS - International Space Station The International Space Station is the largest space object among all that were made by human hands. If the station is inscribed in a rectangle, then this rectangle will exceed the area of ​​a football field. Although, of course, only a small part of this rectangle will be filled with compartments where people live. The station is so huge that it was impossible to launch it into space entirely at one time.

We live on the Earth. EARTH, the third largest planet from the Sun in the solar system. The surface area of ​​the Earth is 510.073 million km2, of which approximately 70.8% is in the World Ocean. Land makes up 29.2%, respectively, and forms six continents and islands. Mountains occupy more than 1/3 of the land surface. Deserts cover about 20% of the land surface, savannas and light forests - about 20%, forests - about 30%, glaciers - over 10%. A significant part of the northern territories is permafrost. Our Earth is great. Its nature is diverse, the wealth of its bowels is incalculable. And at the same time, the huge Earth is only one of the planets revolving around the Sun. The sun is a giant hot ball compared to the earth. Our planet Earth is still not fully understood. What awaits the Earth in the future? This question can only be answered with a high degree of uncertainty, abstracting both from the possible external, cosmic influence, and from the activities of mankind, which transforms the environment, and not always for the better.

This is our planet, Earth.

Take care of our planet earth. You may be surprised to know - the Earth is our common home! Animals, birds live in it And you and I live. Earth - our house is huge, It has many floors For the inhabitants of the underwater And for forest snakes. Enough for all apartments: For buffaloes and goats, For owls and crocodiles For hares and dragonflies. The earth is our huge house, And let it not be built from concrete slabs, But the point is not at all. And the fact that we are neighbors, And we must save the deer and bears. This is what we're talking about! Take care of your planet! There is one garden planet. In this cold space Only here the forests rustle, Calling birds of passage. And only here dragonflies look into the river in surprise. Take care of your planet - After all, there is no other in the world!

Presentation for the class hour devoted to the Author: Chenishkhova Shigotykh Medzhidovna, teacher of mathematics, MBOU secondary school No. 3 a. Yegerukhay, Koshekhablsky district

ABOUT SPACE

Presentation of the class hour for the day of Cosmonautics. Purpose: to form an idea of ​​space, to acquaint students with the science of astronomy, with the profession of an astronaut. to give students an idea of ​​what a spacecraft, orbital station, universe, galaxy, weightlessness, open space, descent vehicle are; expand their understanding of the stars, planets; to acquaint children with the biography of the first cosmonaut - Yu. Gagarin; the history of space exploration; to cultivate the desire to always achieve the goal, to be independent, to develop methods of analysis, synthesis, comparison, visual memory, imagination; teach children to listen thoughtfully and attentively.

Since ancient times, people began to think about the questions: “What is space? If there is life on other planets besides planet Earth?” And then scientists and designers created the first Vostok spacecraft. A spacecraft is a complex technical system. And before you put a person in it, the equipment must be checked.

Before man went into space, there were animals. The dog Laika was the first to go into space. At that time, people still knew very little about space, and spacecraft were not yet able to return from orbit. Therefore, Laika remained forever in outer space.

3 years after the unsuccessful flight of the dog Laika, two dogs are already sent into space - Belka and Strelka. They spent only one day in space and successfully landed on Earth.

In addition to Russia, the Americans were also interested in space. They also used animals to test new rocket technology. The first in America, on a Red Stone rocket, a monkey flew into space.

After the successful flight of animals into space, the road to the stars became open for man. After 8 months, on the same spaceship on which the dogs Belka and Strelka flew, a man also went into space. On April 12, 1961, at 6:07 a.m., the Vostok launch vehicle was launched from the Baikonur cosmodrome.For the first time in the world, a spacecraft with a man on board broke into the expanses of the Universe.

The ship was piloted by Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Alekseevich Gagarin. He was the first person to see with his own eyes that the earth was really round, really covered in water for the most part, and really magnificent.

First cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin On the Vostok-1 spacecraft, Senior Lieutenant Yuri Alekseevich Gagarin flew around the Earth once

Yuri Alekseevich Gagarin is the world's first cosmonaut. Born in a simple worker-peasant family on March 9, 1934 in the city of Gzhatsk in the Smolensk region. The family was large - four children. Yura was the third child. The Gagarin family lived in the village of Klushino. Parents worked on a collective farm, children were early accustomed to housework: caring for pets, helping parents in the field. In those days, children from peasant families really wanted to study, Yura, not yet being a schoolboy, went to class with his older sister, participated in school evenings, read poetry.

Yura went to first grade on September 1, 1941, but classes stopped at school on October 1, as the front was approaching. The Gagarin family did not have time to evacuate and remained “under the Germans” for a whole year and a half. The Nazis settled in their house, and the family was forced to live in a dugout, which Yura's father hastily dug. The older children, Valentina and Zoya, were taken to Germany. In the spring of 1943 the village was liberated by our troops. On March 9, 1943, school resumed. Since the Germans burned the school, the lessons were held at the teacher's house.

The older children managed to escape from captivity, and Valentin ended up in the army, fought as a tanker, and Zoya served as a nurse at the hospital, returning home only in 1946. In 1946 the Gagarin family moved to Gzhatsk. Yura, after the 6th grade, entered a vocational school in the city of Lyubertsy - near Moscow. Yura graduated from the school and the seventh grade of the evening school with honors. Then he was enrolled in the Saratov Industrial College. At the technical school, Yuri seriously went in for sports, was fond of theater and literature and physics, and was engaged in an flying club.

After the technical school, Yuri Alekseevich entered the Chkalovsky Aviation School. After college he worked in the Arctic. The work of a polar explorer is hard, but Yuri was helped by his physical hardening. Yuri Alekseevich did not say anything about space flight to his relatives and friends. The fact that a man flew into space, the Gagarin family learned from the news on April 12, 1961. On April 12, 1961, the ship "Vostok-1" with a man on board made one complete revolution around the Earth in 108 minutes, Yuri Alekseevich Gagarin became this man.

How do astronauts prepare for flights? For training astronauts use a simulator - a centrifuge. In this huge, 18-meter pin, G-forces are created that the astronaut experiences during the flight. She herself rotates in a circle, her head also rotates, the cabin rotates inside the head, and the chair with the astronaut rotates inside the cabin.

When training is carried out under water, the station, together with the platform, the cosmonauts and divers being prepared, is lowered under water, into the hydro pool.

This is how they work in a hydro pool.

For more than 30 years, all astronauts have been training in the so-called "flying laboratory" while preparing for a flight, for weightlessness. This is the main simulator for working out the skills of working in the absence of attraction to the Earth.

How do astronauts live in a rocket? In space there is no air to breathe, there is no water, and even more so there is no food. All this is loaded into the spacecraft on the ground and then consumed in flight. There is nothing in space but emptiness and sunlight. It is light that powers the spacecraft through solar panels.

On the ship, all objects, including animals, are in a state of weightlessness. On earth, all objects have weight, they are attracted to the earth's surface. This is not the case in space. Inside the spacecraft, all items are fixed on special holders. Otherwise, they would all fly.

Astronaut clothing - space suit. Astronauts wear it when launching and descending a rocket when they go out into outer space.

During the launch and descent of the rocket, the astronauts lie down in a special "Lodge".

What do astronauts eat? Astronauts eat food that is stored in canned form. Before use, canned food and tubes are heated, and packages with the first and second courses are diluted with water.

Research in space Biological (plants are grown, various experiments are carried out). Medical observations (the influence of space on the body); Technical observations (provide space and radio-television communications, study the surface of the earth, report on places where minerals have been found).

Astronauts report natural disasters: fires in forests

About places in the mountains where snowfalls can occur.

About storms on the seas
