Different people engaged in the same activity will generally have different results, and so will children's activities. For example, some children practice the piano more and more fascinated, practice superb skills, enrich their imagination and emotions, and become musical geniuses; There is indeed

The more children practice, the more annoying they get. They regarded Qin as an enemy, feared Qin as a tiger, and even violently destroyed this elegant "music prince". With the practice of calligraphy, some children have developed beautiful calligraphy; Some children get worse and worse with practice, and even can't write well all their lives.

When playing in nature, the instructor should also think calmly, not blindly, and strive for a better result with half the effort. Then it is necessary to overcome blindness and not simply treat children's going to nature as play.

It is common for some parents to take their children to play in scenic places with great interest. I saw their children wearing beautiful clothes, carrying big bags of food and pockets full of pocket money. They went out for a day of running, frolicking, eating and drinking, even trampling on the lawn in the park and throwing garbage everywhere, and finally went home happily, exhausted. It can't be said that going out to play like this is meaningless, but it is still an exercise, breathing fresh air and expanding. However, the education received is really superficial and even has a considerable negative impact. For example, it is easy for children to develop the bad psychology of seeing beauty, seeing strangeness, being impetuous and being particular about eating and drinking.

To guide children to nature correctly and in a planned way, we should determine the purpose and requirements, what to play, what to do and what to observe according to the characteristics, geographical conditions and seasons of tourist destinations. This should be considered in conjunction with the following questions:

1. Select the time

It is advisable to go out once every season in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and get in touch with the changes of nature in different seasons. When I say once, I mean fully preparing for activities for more than half a day, not including encouraging children to play in the natural environment near their families. In addition, it is best to travel to distant places once every 1 ~ 2 years. Don't just choose sunny days to go to nature, but also let children feel all kinds of weather changes.

Choose a place to go

As much as possible, bring children into contact with different faces of nature and various natural phenomena, especially the primitive natural state, such as the sea, desert, forest, swamp and other places that are difficult to see at ordinary times, instead of going to artificially decorated parks too much.

Leadership to do it.

Going to nature is not only about watching and playing, but also includes doing something at the same time, such as learning photography, painting, collecting, understanding things, hoeing, fishing, boating, skating, skiing, climbing trees, picnicking, camping, touching snails, eating wild fruits, catching crabs, making snowmen, making ice lanterns, planting trees, climbing mountains, swimming, flying kites and measuring the land. Such as small fish, shrimp, insects, leaves, wild flowers, seeds, various stones, minerals and various novel natural objects. These collected items should be preserved, some can be preserved, some can be used as specimens, and some will be tested later, such as seeds can be planted, branches can be used as bonsai, leaves can be used as clip art and so on.

grasp the opportunity

Many phenomena in nature appear in a short time, so we must pay attention to them at any time and guide children to observe and move in time. For example, they are short-lived, cherry blossoms are in full bloom, rape flowers are everywhere, the lotus pond is full of moonlight, snowflakes are falling, thunder and lightning, storms, eclipses, sunrises and sunsets, cocoons, snakes shed their skins, trees germinate, chickens hatch, and so on. These phenomena disappear in a few minutes and days.

get ready

Every time you go out, you should agree on a time and place with your child, discuss what to do and what to prepare in advance. The contents of preparation should include reading or explaining the information, popular science knowledge or legends about the destination, and preparing the tools, instruments and daily necessities that must be taken when playing. It is also necessary to anticipate what difficulties you may encounter when you play (such as sudden climate change and dangerous things like snakes), and what ideological and material preparations you should make. Children should be encouraged to overcome difficulties, be tempered, explore bravely and ensure safety.

Usually, children should read stories about Xu Xiake and Darwin's exploration of nature, Magellan and Columbus' exploration around the world, etc. , or tell them after dinner. They should also read more famous poems describing nature and learn more idioms reflecting the laws of nature.

Keep a good diary

In the evening when you go to nature activities, you should guide your children to write travel diaries and observation diaries, so that they can write down their real and subtle feelings of what they think, see and hear, and record the problems they find, the thinking process and the results they solve, instead of writing vague diaries, so as to strengthen their thinking, memory and imagination. This is also the best holiday homework. If children in Grade 12 and Grade 12 can't keep a diary, they can dictate their activities and feelings, and parents can help them record them.

Second, guide children to grasp the "nature around them" or introduce nature into their homes.

The phenomenon of nature does not only exist in the vast sky, but actually occurs everywhere around us, so we can also introduce nature into our homes for observation and operation. We must guide children to pay attention to it everywhere and carefully observe and record it. These phenomena are: how the grass grows in front of the house, how the branches germinate, how the leaves fall, how the bamboo shoots break through the ground, when the earthworms emerge from the ground, what is the difference between the flying posture of dragonflies and butterflies, and what is the difference between spring rain and summer rain. When fog and frost are exposed, how can grass grow in the cracks in the wall, how can ants move food, how can spiders weave webs, and which trees are called arbor, shrub and evergreen? ...

Observe the different skies of day, night, sunny day, rainy day, spring, summer, autumn and winter, distinguish the similarities and differences between sunny day, semi-cloudy day, cloudy day and cloudy day, observe the moon's roundness and wane, know some stars and observe the four seasons.

The change of constellations, the location of the Milky Way, the fall of meteors, the change of clouds, the flight of birds, the shuttle of bats ... There are countless natural phenomena just looking at the sky.

There is also "nature" in the house, such as when mosquitoes bite the most, when the flies at home are the most, how the salt is wet, how the kitchen knife is rusted, how the copper rust is green, and how the cement railing grows green and moss. See if the mountains in the distance are always a color, why the radio can't be heard when it changes direction, why the house is stuffy before it rains, and why it is called grandpa's backache ... It seems that natural phenomena are everywhere.

You can also deliberately take natural phenomena with you to observe, such as sprouting bean sprouts, brewing rice wine, planting lentils, raising silkworms, feeding birds, raising shrimps and crabs, killing a fish, dissecting a chicken, breaking an egg, watching hens hatch eggs, watching kittens walk, feeling their pulse and heartbeat, and observing the burning flames of different objects ... It seems that nature can be invited everywhere.

Third, guide children to observe nature with instruments.

Tell children that it is not enough to know nature only by human sensory organs, such as eyes (vision), ears (hearing), nose (smell), mouth (taste), skin and hands (touch). So scientists have invented many instruments to help us observe everything, some of which should be used by primary school students.

Buy or borrow children's binoculars, magnifying glasses, microscopes, prisms, magnets, compasses, tape measures, measuring tools, scales, thermometers, horse watches, hygrometers, globes, etc. And told him that these instruments can measure things that people's sensory organs can't feel or feel accurately, such as:

Telescopes can help people see distant scenery, topography, trees, waves, sand dunes and so on.

Magnifier can help people see small things, such as the appearance of insect wings, the patterns of various minerals, the germination of seeds and so on.

Microscopes can help people see things invisible to the naked eye, such as bacteria and other microorganisms.

Prism can help people to see what kind of light is synthesized by integrated light.

Compass can determine that the earth is a big magnetic field, and the north and south poles are the two poles of the magnetic field. Compass can guide people so that they won't get lost in the sea, forest, desert and grassland.

Magnets can help people identify iron. Knowing that iron molecules are arranged in order will produce magnetism. Generally, iron can be magnetized when it is close to the magnet (because the iron molecules are arranged in an orderly way slowly), and the magnetism of magnetized iron will disappear after being smashed (disturbing the iron molecules).

A tape measure can measure the area of land and the height of mountains.

Buckets and liters can measure the volume of sand and water.

Scales can measure the weight of natural objects. Weight is the attraction of the earth to this object.

Thermometers can not only detect people's body temperature, but also measure the temperatures of air, water and hens.

Clocks can divide a day into hours, minutes and seconds, and horse watches can make people clearly feel the length of each second.

A hygrometer can measure the content of water vapor in the air. Quicklime can absorb water vapor and dry the air.

A globe can reduce the earth to a model, so that people can see the whole picture of the earth, as well as the positions and sizes of oceans, continents and countries around the world.

Fourth, in the whole process of going to nature and before and after, we should always encourage children to be good at asking questions, actively think and discuss problems, doubt unscientific explanations, learn to consult materials and answer questions correctly, and develop good habits of observation and questioning.

Parents must realize that children like to ask questions and can ask any questions, which is the performance of children's interest in learning and intelligence; Being good at asking questions is the most important method and motivation to promote in-depth practice and observation, fully develop thinking and imagination, and master rich knowledge. So "learning" is the result of learning and asking questions, and people also like to call large and small problems problems, such as population problems.

Energy issues, national defense issues and so on.

As long as children are guided to practice and observe, children are the most able to ask questions in the world, because the world is novel to him, and he feels strange and confused everywhere, unlike adults who have seen everything for decades and become accustomed to it, so it is difficult to find problems in plain things. For example, a child can ask, "Why is the sky blue?" Adults, on the other hand, often can't ask such questions and don't know why the sky is blue.

Therefore, before children get used to various phenomena in nature, it is necessary to inspire them to ask more questions, think more and discuss more. This is not only to enrich their knowledge, but more importantly, to give them a pair of questioning eyes, a pair of questioning ears and a brain that is good at thinking and finding the root of the problem. In this way, they can uncover the endless mysteries of nature and make great discoveries, inventions and creations in the future.
