Биокупол на уроках по предмету «Окружающий мир» при изучении темы «Круговорот воды в природе»

Abstract

The topic "The Water Cycle", which is part of the discipline "The World Around Us", requires visual material for better understanding by younger students. The justification for this statement lies in the predominance of the visual-imaginative type of thinking over the verbal-logical type of thinking in younger students. In this regard, the abstract natural science material in the educational process of primary school, as a rule, is studied through experiments and experiments. We offer for consideration a visual material, which until recently had almost no scientific coverage: a children's scientific and entertaining set "Bio-dome", simulating the biosphere of the planet Earth and assuming interactive participation of students, including work in groups. The aim of this article is to describe the effectiveness of using the Bio-dome in laboratory experiments with elementary school students in studying the topic "The Water Cycle in Nature" based on the results of an empirical study. During the practical research the following methods were used: testing of elementary schoolchildren, laboratory experiment with a bio-dome and a pedagogical experiment. The study was conducted on the basis of the state budgetary educational institution of the city of Moscow "School N 1561". The results showed the effectiveness and prospects of using the bio-dome in the lessons of the discipline "The World Around Us" in the elementary school.
