Members of Ussury eco-club give a lesson for junior
schoolchildren
On May 27, the educator delivered a
lesson "Where do forest dwellers hide?"
for 12 children of "Ussuri" eco-club in
Kirovka town. They got to know how
wild animals chose a right place for
them to live. Among the questions
discussed there were the following:
Where does the Amur tiger live? Why
do Amur leopards live only in the south
of the region? Why can starlings live in
birdhouses, while swallows prefer to
make houses of clay? Why do some
animals live outdoors, while the others
live in dens or holes?
In June, the educator gave two classes
for 53 children 10-12 years old. On June 19, there was a lesson "Forest mosaic", aimed at
acquainting children with such animals as Amur tiger, Amur leopard and other local
species, and to develop in children skills of collective work. The lesson consisted of two
parts: a quiz "Forest experts" and a game "Tigers - leopards". One of the teams was
tigers, the other was leopards. They found similarities and differences of those animals,
showed how they hunted, imitated their voice and describe where they lived. The winning
team got small presents: bookmarks and pocket calendars.

On June 23, the educator led a lesson
"Clean air - our health". The idea of it
was to detemine the
knowledge on the environment, namely
on the air and water, to foster a sense of
personal responsibility for
environmental protection, and to
develop the ability to analyze, that is, to
find links between human actions and
what happened around in nature. The
educator chose the theme on purpose,
as practically all the children heard
about the problem of air and water
pollution. To start a discussion she
asked a few questions, such as: Why
does air gets dirty? Why does fish
sometimes die in the rivers? etc. The children named reasons for pollution. The lesson
continued with outdoors games "Guess who I am”, “Chasing prey", and steeplechase. At
the end of the lesson the educator asked the participants what should be done to breathe
clean air, and the children gave their opinions, such as "remove garbage after themselves,
not to cut tress and, which is even better, plant new ones, to feed birds” etc.
