An ecological lesson on the topic "Living and inanimate nature" was held in the MBDOU "Kindergarten No. 12 Leysen" in Mamadysh. As a visual aid – flowers. The children conducted a small experiment to understand how water gets into the plant: one clove was placed in a container with clean water, and the other with water colored with food coloring. During the day, the children watched how white flowers in a vase with dye were dyed. So they clearly saw how the liquid rises through the stem to the bud. In addition, the preschool children were told about how to help the birds survive the winter. Employees of the Kama Territorial Administration noted that such environmental lessons contribute to the development of cognitive activity, curiosity in children and form an interest in the study of living and inanimate nature.
