Teacher's opening speech.
- Hello guys! I am glad to welcome you! Do you know what holiday the whole world will celebrate? Right. Aviation and Cosmonautics Day.
— Now we’ll talk about how people began to explore outer space. Since ancient times, the mysterious, enigmatic world of planets and stars has attracted the attention of people. Nowadays, people know that the Earth rotates around the Sun and on its axis, but earlier people believed that it was motionless. When our ancestors began to recognize the Earth, they imagined it as an inverted bowl, supported by a giant elephant, standing importantly on the shell of a huge turtle. This turtle swims in the sea-ocean, and the whole world is covered with a crystal dome of the sky with many sparkling stars. (Image demo)
Thousands of years have passed since then. People began to build ships and,
travel around the world, evidence gradually began to accumulate that the earth was not flat, but spherical.
The famous ancient Greek scientist Aristotle (IV century BC)
was the first to prove that the Earth is round. While observing the Moon, he noticed that the shadow from the Earth falling on it is always round. And only the ball casts a round shadow. In addition, he noticed that ships sailing into the distance always disappear over the horizon.
Another great astronomer, Nicolaus Copernicus, proved that the Earth is in space and revolves around the Sun, making one revolution around it every 365 days.
Many years later, people learned to build aircraft, hot air balloons, airships, airplanes and
began to fly in the Earth's air envelope (atmosphere). But people don't
They stopped there, they were attracted by space. — Guys, what is astronautics? (children's answers)
Cosmonautics
is a set of branches of science and technology that ensure the exploration of outer space and extraterrestrial objects.
— Tell me, who was the first person to fly into space? (children's answers) Correct, Yuri Alekseevich Gagarin
. On April 12, 1961, a citizen of the USSR, Yuri Alekseevich Gagarin (portrait), flew into space. The name of this man is known all over the world. Since childhood, Yura has been interested in airplanes. He was very inquisitive and grasped everything
fly. At the age of 15 he entered a vocational school. But passion
aviation attracted him, and he entered the military aviation school.
He was a brave, resourceful, cheerful man. Rarely got angry and didn't really
He loved quarrels; on the contrary, he made peace with everyone with jokes and laughter. He was attentive to his comrades and helped them in everything. He was perfectly prepared physically. On April 12, 1961, the Vostok rocket flew around our planet in 108 minutes (1 hour 68 minutes). The world held its breath. The world listened to the voice of man,
flying over oceans and countries, and people in these countries repeated:
"Gagarin", "Yuri", "Russia". The earth recognized a simple, charming man who paved the way to the stars. Therefore, on April 12 we celebrate ‹‹Cosmonautics Day››.
Our event is dedicated to this holiday.
