"Zimushka - winter"

Quiz for 2nd – 3rd grade students

Presenter: Hello guys. Our meeting today will be dedicated to a very beautiful time of year - winter.

Think and tell me what people call winter? (mother - winter, winter, fierce winter, winter is a mischief...) Indeed, winter can be different. And today, answering the quiz questions, together we will draw a general portrait of winter. We have to travel through the stations.

Station 1. Poetic.

First, listen to N. Knushevitskaya’s poem “Winter.”

"Winter"

In soft white boots

Winter has come to the window,

She knocked: “Here I am!”

Did you miss me?

I was in a hurry to get here

Covered the whole earth with down,

Put the animals to bed:

And the bear and the frogs.

I sewed white coats

A whole army of bunnies.

Red fox fur coat -

Here she is in all her glory.

Glazed the pond and river,

The stoves flooded everywhere.

That's how much there was to do,

It's your turn now.

Early tomorrow morning

Get your skis and sleds

And shiny skates

To run the race,

And you need carrots too

Find one for the snow woman.

Prepare your cheeks -

Tomorrow I will paint them for you.

Save the squealing and laughter -

I'll be waiting for everyone on the hill!

(N. Knushevitskaya)

What deeds does the poet list in the poem?

Covered the ground with fluffy snow. Why does nature need this? So that the ground does not freeze, plants and animals do not die from frost.

2. What animals went into hibernation? (bears, frogs)

3. Which animals in the poem changed their coats? (bunnies and fox)

4. Why do animals need to change their coats? (the winter coat is fluffier and warmer. The white fur coat of a hare is less noticeable on white snow)

5. What winter activities for children are mentioned in the poem?

(skiing, skating, sledding).

Station 2. Mysterious.

Name it, guys

A month in this riddle:

His days are the shortest of all days,

Of all nights longer than night.

To the fields and meadows

It snowed until spring.

Only our month will pass;

We are celebrating the New Year! (December)

The field became black and white:

It rains, it snows,

And it got colder -

The waters of the rivers were frozen with ice.

The winter rye is freezing in the field.

What month is it - tell me.

Snow is falling in bags from the sky,

There are snowdrifts around the house,

Now blizzards, now blizzards,

They attacked the village.

The frost is severe at night,

During the day, drops can be heard ringing.

The day has lengthened noticeably.

So what month is this?

(February)

It stings your ears, it stings your nose,

Frost creeps into felt boots.

If you splash water, it will fall,

Not water anymore, but ice.

Not even a bird can fly

The bird is freezing from the frost.

I will throw silver on your roof.

And a forest grew on the windows. (freezing)

Welcomes spring before everyone else. (snowdrop)

Winter quiz for primary school, grades 3-4

Part 1

1. Why are second frames installed in the winter? (Sample answer: Second frames are inserted to prevent the room from cooling quickly. Still air trapped between two frames is a poor conductor of heat.)

2. Why does loose snow protect the soil from freezing better than compacted snow? (Sample answer: Snow is porous: there is a lot of air between the snowflakes and even inside them, which, we repeat, is a poor conductor of heat. The air contained in the snow traps the heat radiated by the earth into the atmosphere. Compacted snow contains less air and therefore retains heat less well. )

3. Why doesn’t the water in rivers and lakes freeze to the bottom? (Approximate answer. Reservoirs do not freeze to the bottom because ice is lighter than water. Cooled layers of water freeze on the surface with a crust of ice, and then the ice and snow on it protect the water from freezing. If the ice were heavier than water, it would sink to the bottom and the water would freeze into a solid block.)

4. Why do frosty patterns appear on the inside of window glass in winter? (Approximate answer. In winter, the air near the window panes cools greatly, and some of the water vapor from it settles on the cold glass in the form of ice crystals. At the corners of these crystals, “horns” are formed, which begin to branch and grow. Then the crystals connect with each other and form glass with the most bizarre patterns.)

5. Why does a pedestrian, walking through deep snow, fall through, but a skier does not? [Sample answer. The area of ​​the pedestrian's soles over which the weight of the body is distributed is small, which is why they push through the snow. And the skier’s weight is distributed along the entire length of the skis, the pressure at each point is much less.)

6. Why do skates glide on ice? (Approximate answer: While standing on skates, a skater presses the weight of his body onto a very small area of ​​​​ice. Under high pressure, the ice melts, a thin layer of water forms between the runners of the skates and the ice, along which the skates glide.)

7. If in cold weather you open the door from the street into a hotly heated room, then steam begins to swirl at the threshold. How is it formed? (Approximate answer: Burging in from outside open door cold air, coming into contact with the warm air of the room, cools it. In this case, part of the water vapor contained in the warm air condenses into water mist - steam.)

8. Why does the air temperature tend to rise during snowfall? (Sample answer: Air temperature rises during snowfall because heat is released from water droplets or water vapor when snow forms.)

9. Why sprinkle sidewalks with sand in winter? (Approximate answer: Sidewalks are sprinkled with sand so that the friction force is greater and pedestrians do not fall.)

10. Why does it still blow a little in winter, even from a carefully smeared and sealed window? (Approximate answer. Of course, it’s not blowing from the street. Everything is explained by air circulation. Cooled air at the window “flows” down, displacing warm air, then it heats up itself and is displaced by colder air...)

11. How does wet laundry dry in the cold? (Approximate answer: The water in wet laundry turns into tiny crystals in the cold, which gradually erode.)

12. Is it true that frosts are stronger when the sky is cloudless? (Approximate answer. Correct. Clouds are like a blanket for the Earth; they keep it from cooling down.)

13. Why do they try to make winter clothes from fur or wool? (Approximate answer: Fur and wool are poor conductors of heat, so they best protect the body from cold (from heat loss).) Snowballs are a favorite pastime for children. Playing snowballs, children learn accuracy; here you need strength, dexterity, and courage. You can build a fortress, make a slide, a snowman. In general, you can make the winter holidays so interesting that you will look forward to the next one.
