Ecological tournament for Environment Day. Ecological tournament "Earth is our home"
Goal: developing environmental culture and environmental literacy of students through the organization of gaming activities
- To develop cognitive interest and cognitive activity of schoolchildren
- Develop communication skills
- Build group work skills
- Increase students' environmental literacy
- To form schoolchildren’s personal attitude towards environmental problems
- Foster a caring, humane attitude towards nature
- Instill skills in economical use of natural resources
- Expand students' horizons
- Develop students' creative abilities
- Unite the school team vertically
Time resources required to implement the game: the duration of the game is 50-90 minutes.
Addressee: the game is intended for students in grades 5-11. The teams include representatives of grades 5-11.
Rules of the game:
Before the start of the game, team captains (this can be any student, but most often they are high school students) select their team, think about the name, emblem, and motto of the team. The number of teams can vary from 3 to 9. Depending on the number of participating teams, the number of questions for each team may also change. The right to make the first move is played by lot, then the team names the question they want to answer.
All questions are divided into 9 groups (“Mushrooms”, “Plants”, “Animals”, “Birds”, “Insects”, “Man and his health”, “Trees”, “Water”, “Pollution”) ( Annex 1). The questions in each group are divided by degree of difficulty. Teams are given freedom to choose the topics of questions and their complexity.
Number of questions each team must answer: 5-10. For “green” questions (low difficulty level) a team can receive 1 point, for “yellow” questions (medium difficulty level) - 2 points, for “red” questions - 3 points. If the answer is correct, the team’s account receives the number of points corresponding to the price of the question; if incorrect, the team is fined the appropriate number of points, and the right to answer is given to the team wishing to answer this question.
The questions in the game contain the task of singing a few lines from songs about water, plants, animals, birds, etc. In this case, the team that names the most songs receives the number of points corresponding to the level of difficulty. At the end of the game, the team with the most points wins.
Equipment: computer, multimedia projector, screen, tape recorder.
Design: a Power Point presentation is used to conduct the game; “Sounds of nature” (musical compositions against which the game will take place).
Epigraph “We are all passengers of one ship called “Earth”, and there is simply nowhere to transfer from it” (Antoine de Saint-Exupery), posters ( Appendix 2).
Progress of the event:
1. Introductory word
Everyone says: “Earth,” but everyone means their own. Earth - what is it like? The earth gives birth to clear streams and millions of stems and ears of corn, carries oceans and mountains on itself, sends birds into the skies and fleet-footed animals through all the forests, rocks cities on itself and moves in space. The earth has always captivated man with its eternal rebirth, the cycle of springs and winters, and the infinity of its horizons. Man strove for the Earth, opening it, giving names and titles. But today, progress has raised the problem of human interaction with the Earth with all its severity. People often do not notice the consequences of their actions: territories covered with salt marshes, flooded swamps, dug by quarries, unsuitable for housing and farming. We all owe our lives to our planet - the beautiful Earth, groaning today in pain, crying out for help and, alas, remaining childishly defenseless in front of... us. One cannot but agree with Schaeffer’s words about the interaction between man and nature:
...You, man, love nature,
At least sometimes feel sorry for her.
On pleasure trips
Don't trample its fields!
Don't burn her recklessly
And don’t exhaust it to the bottom,
And remember the simple truth:
There are many of us, but she is alone...
Environmental problems do not know state borders or natural boundaries - they are global. And only by knowing the laws and secrets of nature can we become its true friends and helpers.
We must not forget that “We only have one Earth...” This beautiful ship has everything necessary for an endlessly long journey on it, but if it breaks down there will be nothing to transfer to. We must take care of what we have. It is not for nothing that the wonderful French writer Antoine de Saint-Exupery once remarked: “We are all passengers of one ship called “Earth”, and there is simply nowhere to transfer from it.” The introductory word is accompanied by the first slide of the multimedia presentation ( Appendix 3).
2. Presentation of commands
3. Game
Presentation of sections of the environmental tournament. Hovering the mouse cursor moves to the selected section.
Depending on the selected section, you can also select a question by difficulty level by hovering your mouse over the question number. After answering the question, you need to return to the beginning of the game on the second slide using the return button located in the lower right corner of the slides. When you revisit a section, the numbers of already selected questions change color, so you can see questions that have already been answered.
When you select a question, for example from the “Mushrooms” section, a question or task appears. When you press the left mouse button again anywhere on the slide (except for the return button), the correct answer option appears. ( Appendix 3). (Appendix 3 contains a fragment of multimedia accompaniment of the game using the example of the “Mushrooms” section, questions of an increased level of difficulty)
4. In conclusion - A. Dudin’s poem “Take care of the Earth!” (Appendix 4)
5. Summing up the game, rewarding the winners

Knowledge of the laws of nature is necessary for modern man. Environmental education and training can solve the problem of obtaining such knowledge. Having identified seven from the many laws of ecology, she chose a form of knowledge transfer - an open event “ecological tournament”, during which all participants in the event (players and fans) can realize their intellectual and creative abilities and are motivated by the final result. This event is designed for 7th grade students. Our tournament was attended by 3 people from seven schools in the city and 4 fans from each school. Three teams of 7 people each were formed from the players.
- Goals of the environmental tournament:
- Introduce students to some of the laws of ecology
- Promote the development of students' intellectual and creative abilities
Organize useful leisure time for schoolchildren during the holidays
- To form an idea of some environmental laws
- Expand knowledge about nature in general
- Learn to work in a team, develop leadership and camaraderie qualities
Materials and equipment:
- A selection of materials for “protecting” the wolf and predators in general. (Annex 1)
- Tables for identifying sedimentary rocks - by number of teams. (Appendix 2)
- A set of rock samples (shell limestone, opoka, rock salt, sandstone, coal, gypsum, chalk) - according to the number of teams.
- The “flower-seven-flower” model. (Appendix 3)
- Herbarium of seven fruit trees and shrubs of the Rosaceae family, for example: apple, pear, cherry, rose hip, plum, rowan, thorn.

Tournament progress
Dear friends! We are glad to welcome you to our environmental tournament!
We are a team of children's environmental center founded in 1977 in the city of Uryupinsk as a station for young naturalists. Over the past 35 years, the station has turned into an environmental center, on the basis of which more than twenty children's associations of four directions are currently conducting their fruitful creative and research work.
It has become a good tradition to hold interesting educational events for you, middle school students of general education institutions, during the autumn school holidays. Autumn holidays, Robinsonades, erudite shows, replaced each other in a series of years...
Today it’s time to hold a real tournament.
We called it “Seven Laws of Ecology.” Why seven? After all, environmental scientists have formulated about 250 laws, patterns and rules!
Seven is a lucky number according to the beliefs of many peoples. “This number symbolizes...study and knowledge, as the path of exploration of the unknown and invisible,” writes the famous German scientist, cultural scientist Hans Biedermann in the book “Encyclopedia of Symbols”
We invited seventh graders to a tournament. Seven challenges await you.
On the threshold of the 21st century, it’s time to think about the role of each of us, as a representative of humanity, in shaping the future of the entire planet.
Today you will get acquainted with the seven laws of ecology - the science of the interconnection of all living beings, biological communities and natural phenomena on our Earth.
Before the start of the tournament, three national teams will be formed - seven people each, representatives from each of the seven educational institutions of the city.
Let's get started! We have three teams of 7 people each, you come up with the names of the teams yourself. So…. Welcome teams: ….
And now I want to introduce you to the jury - kind, fair, additional education teachers of the children's environmental center:
The jury will evaluate competitions using a seven-point system. The maximum number of points for one competition is 7 points. For the entire game - 49 points.
First test called “The Wolf and the Seven Little Goats.”
We are introducing you to the first law of ecology by Barry Commoner, an American biologist and ecologist. The law goes like this: “Everything is connected to everything” and draws attention to the universal connection between processes and phenomena in nature.
You all know the fairy tale about the wolf and the seven kids. The wolf in a fairy tale is a bad, evil creature that must be punished without hesitation. The wolf is a predator; it feeds on herbivores, kind and sweet in all fairy tales. But you know, people made up fairy tales about themselves - evil and aggressive like wolves and kind, trusting like kids. In nature, everything is much more complicated. Scientists biologists and ecologists will never call a wolf, or a viper, a tiger, an eagle and other predators - evil and bad. On the contrary, scientists will argue that it is predators who bring invaluable benefits to herbivores; one might say, they take care of them. You have a test ahead of you - to temporarily turn into defenders of all predators in general, and convince us of the benefits they bring.
The first team will present their defense in the form of a short report scientists– ecologists, biologists, epidemiologists.
The second team will voice their point of view hunters and photo-hunters, journalists.
The third team will transform into creative group poets, writers, artists.
Each group receives supporting materials: facts, rhymes, photographs, quotes from works of famous writers. The jury will evaluate the persuasiveness, artistry, and brevity of your defense. Preparation time: 7 minutes. The speech should be no more than 1 minute.
While the teams are preparing their defense, I will tell you about two outstanding ecologists of the 20th century, from Russia - Nikolai Fedorovich Reimers and from the USA - Birri Commoner. It was these people who formulated the laws of ecology that we are talking about today. Nikolai Fedorovich Reimers (1931–1993) is one of the most encyclopedically educated theorists of general ecology, a systematizer and popularizer of environmental knowledge. He was a theorist and practitioner of the development of nature reserves in the USSR. Since 1966 – Deputy Director for Science of the Prioksko-Terrasny Nature Reserve; in 1968–1969 he worked in the Main Directorate for Nature Protection, Nature Reserves and Hunting of the USSR Ministry of Agriculture. The three main works, which summed up Reimers’ many years of theoretical and practical research, were the dictionary-reference book “Nature Management” (1990), “Popular Biological Dictionary” (1991) and the monograph “Hope for the Survival of Humanity. Conceptual Ecology” (1992). In his last book, for the first time in Russian-language literature, he formulated and systematized more than 200 environmental laws, rules and principles.
Barry Commoner lived a very long life - 95 years old, died on September 30, 2012 - American biologist and ecologist, his parents were immigrants from the Russian Empire. US presidential candidate in 1980. Graduated from the University of Columbia. After World War II he moved to St. Louis, where he taught plant physiology at the university for 34 years. In the late fifties, he gained fame as an opponent of nuclear tests. He has written several books about the dangers of such tests for the Earth's ecosystem. Commoner's legacy includes the Four Laws of Ecology. Commoner's “laws” are rather aphoristic rules that should guide people in the processes of environmental management than strictly formulated provisions, natural-historical laws. And yet, these “laws” are included in textbooks for universities specializing in ecology; these “laws” are easy to remember and understandable to everyone
Teams take turns presenting their defense. The jury evaluates.
Let's move on to the second test. It's called “Seven Underground Kings.”
The name of this test was given by the book of the same name by the Soviet writer Alexander Volkov. Let's talk about underground treasures - minerals and use their example to look at Barry Commoner's second law - “Everything has to go somewhere”.
The riches of the Earth's interior were formed in different ways - during volcanic eruptions, shifts of the earth's crust and the subsequent burial of ancient plant masses under a thick layer of rocks, and in other ways. Every discovery underground - a precious stone, oil, gas - will tell scientists a lot - geologists who have learned to predict the location of minerals underground based on signs known to them.
All geologists began their training with the ability to determine the name of a mineral based on external or morphological characteristics. You have to try yourself in the role of geologists and try to identify seven minerals (rocks or minerals) using a special identification table.
Each team receives a set of minerals and a table, as well as the assistance of a consultant - “Senior Geologist” (d/o teacher).
Time for testing is 10 minutes.
While the teams are working, I will have a conversation with the fans. Guys, I ask you to help me understand the notes of the oldest wise miner who wrote about the origin of minerals, and guess what he wrote about?
1. “During powerful shifts of the earth’s crust, which are quite frequent in the long history of the Earth, huge plant masses are buried in the surrounding rocks. The decomposition of dead plants under conditions of high pressure and without air access after millions of years leads to the transformation of plants into…”
(fossil coals = hard coal).
2. “Sinking to the bottom of the oceans and seas, the remains of microorganisms and plankton (small organisms suspended in water) are covered with sand and silt. In stagnant natural water, under the influence of bacteria, increasingly complex organic compounds are formed. A dark liquid appears and slowly accumulates, which is called…….”
(oil).
3. “Atmospheric carbon dioxide interacts with metals and their oxides, which are found in abundance in rocks and on the surface of the Earth. This is how…….”
(limestones).
4. “A product of the decomposition of dead animals and plants, found in the same place as oil - .....”
(natural gas).
5. “Fossil resin formed from now extinct coniferous trees…..”
(amber).
6. “Fine-grained, soft, white limestone, consisting of small fragments and entire calcareous skeletons of microorganisms (foraminifera and others). Used in cement, glass, rubber and other industries - ....”
(chalk).
Teams - time's up! Tell us what minerals you were able to identify.
The third test awaits us - “The Flower of Seven Flowers”!
Barry Commoner's Third Law - “Nature “knows” better” says that while we do not have absolutely reliable information about the mechanisms and functions of nature, we, like a person who is unfamiliar with the structure of a watch but wants to repair it, easily harm natural systems while trying to “improve” them.
You all probably know Valentin Kataev’s fairy tale “The Seven-Flower Flower”: the girl received a magic flower and could make any seven wishes. But it was necessary to think through each desire very carefully, otherwise the consequences became unpredictable.
You will receive a seven-color model with the girl's wish written on it. He was not in the fairy tale. You need to tell us about the possible consequences of this desire. The jury will evaluate the completeness and convincingness of your answers. Time for discussion – 3 minutes.
“Wish: May it be summer all year round throughout the Earth!”
Consequences: glaciers will melt - flooding of a large land area; death of people living in coastal areas; epidemics are possible - due to the mass death of living beings; swamping of the tundra zone; large-scale man-made disasters...
While the teams discuss the environmental situation, I will tell you why scientists believe that nature “knows” best.
A mathematical illustration of this law by B. Commoner is that solving the problem of calculating the parameters of the biosphere requires disproportionately more time than the entire period of existence of our planet as a solid body. The potentially existing evolutionarily possible diversity of nature is estimated by numbers with an order of magnitude from 10 1000 to 10 50 (the maximum number with a “letter” encoding code, the minimum number with “words” and “sentences” encoding). With the future probable speed of computers - 10 10 operations per second - and the simultaneous operation of an incredible number (10 10) of such machines, the operation of calculating a one-time problem of a variant of 10 50 differences will take 10 30 seconds, or 3.10 21 years, which is almost 10 times longer than the existence of life on the ground. Nature “knows” better than us!
Theoretically, calculation of options is only possible using the method of blocks of “words” and “sentences,” but you need to know the laws of constructing these blocks and selecting them in calculations. This task is not yet feasible. And there is hardly any need to strive to solve it.
Time is up, now we will hear the teams’ answers one by one...
Fourth test – “Seven - I”
Barry Commoner's Fourth Law - “Nothing comes for free”. Everything that has been extracted from the ecological system by human labor must be replaced.
Let's imagine that you and I are building a house on the edge of a forest. We cut down trees to build it and now have to pay for the damage. Let's plant an orchard - it will benefit us, provide shelter and food for the local birds, and protect our garden from the wind and have a living wall to hold back the snow. We will need to decide on the choice of tree species, and then buy seedlings on the market. We will choose trees of the same family – Rosaceae. But you will have to work hard - there is a large choice on the market; in addition to Rosaceae, there are representatives of other families. Your task: from the proposed samples - herbarium sheets (branches with leaves), select seven fruit trees of the Rosaceae family and say their names.
Time to complete the test: 3 minutes.
Rosaceae: apple, pear, cherry, rose hip, plum, rowan, thorn.
The teams answer, the jury evaluates the answers.
Fifth test: “The Magnificent Seven and the Goalkeeper.”
The teams will play “Ecological Hockey”
And we will get acquainted with Bowlich's law, which is called “ All or nothing" The “all or nothing” law was formulated by the American physiologist Bowlich in 1871, but its action outside the nervous system is still very poorly studied. It sounds like this: weak influences may not cause responses in the natural system until, having accumulated, they lead to the development of a violent dynamic process.
We will present an illustration of this law in the form of environmental situations - common, alas, in everyday life. Teams will need to report on the results of “weak impacts” on nature. But no time is given for discussion.
Each team member gets his own role: you need to choose a captain, 3 defenders, 2 forwards, 1 goalkeeper.
The captain receives a “puck” - a question, and answers it. If he answered correctly, he hit the puck and earned a point for the team. The “puck” flies to the other team, with a new question. If the captain does not hit the puck, then it goes to the defenders, then to the forwards, and to the goalie. If no one on the team knows the answer, the point is awarded to the other two teams. We are playing three “pucks” – one for each team.
1. The boy threw a plastic bottle into the lake. When asked why he did this, he shrugged his shoulders - “So what? Nothing will happen.” Nothing happened. Day after day for 30 years, different people threw garbage into the lake...What could have happened as a result?
2. In the spring, the guys went for a walk in the forest, on the right bank of the Khopr. There were many snowdrops growing under the trees. Each of the guys picked one bouquet. Satisfied, they returned home from the walk and told all their friends about the meadow of flowers. Two weeks later, half of the city’s population visited the forest clearing. From year to year, snowdrops bloomed in that forest and people came for flowers, and no one noticed any changes. What will that forest clearing look like in 20 years?
3. “Cleanliness is the key to health!” - said the boy, summing up his work. He had just finished cleaning the area. It's autumn, we need to clean up the garden and garden, remove fallen leaves. The boy's parents burned a bunch of leaves and branches - no problem, the yard was clean and beautiful. The neighbors did the same. Smoke from the fires was visible from a distance. That same evening, everyone who burned the garbage was fined. The boy's parents could not understand why? The smoke quickly cleared and the air became clear again. Explain why you can't burn garbage?
Sixth test “Seven Colors of the Rainbow”.
W. Shelford's law of tolerance, 1913 – the limiting factor in the prosperity of an organism (species) can be either a minimum or maximum environmental impact, the range between which determines the amount of endurance (tolerance) of the organism to this factor.
In other words: everything is good in moderation!
My fans and I will look at the operation of Shelford’s law using the example of indoor plants - organisms completely dependent on humans. And our teams will illustrate the story about pets using a palette of colors!
Each team receives a sheet of paper with a plant outline drawn on it and colored pencils (markers). Your task: to carefully and competently color the drawing in the shortest possible time. The jury will evaluate the speed and quality of your work. Time has passed!
So, everything is good in moderation! If you and I water the plants very rarely, from time to time, many of them may dry out. Only plants from arid habitats will survive - the well-known cacti, Crassulaceae, and agaves. Excessive watering can harm xerophilic plants. They need to be watered after the soil in the pot is completely dry.
Cyperus, tradescantia, and other plants that naturally grow in places with excess moisture need to be watered abundantly. The soil for such plants should always be moist. Many ornamental foliage plants require abundant watering from spring to autumn, and moderate watering in winter. This is the same rule for all deciduous plants, although exceptions are possible. Such plants need to be watered in winter after the soil in the upper part of the pot has dried. (Indoor plants of all named groups are demonstrated)
So, let's summarize our test. Seven colors of the rainbow helped all teams paint flowers, but the first were...
Seventh and final test: “Seventh Heaven.”
The last law of ecology that we will consider today is Law of the minimum Justus Liebig, a German chemist - the endurance of an organism is determined by the weakest link in the chain of its environmental needs, i.e. life opportunities are limited by the environmental factor, the amount of which is close to the minimum required by the organism and further reduction of which leads to the death of the organism.
Environmental factors are light, heat, water, nutrients and many other conditions that organisms need to live. You have heard about light-loving and shade-tolerant trees, about unpretentious weeds growing everywhere and about plants that are demanding of soil and clean air. I have listed for you the ecological groups of organisms in relation to light and other environmental factors.
Our teams have to determine by fruits and seeds representatives of the listed ecological groups - a total of 7 plants, trees and herbs. Test time: 2 minutes.
Light-loving: pine, birch.
Shade-tolerant: spruce.
Demanding on soils and air purity: oak.
Moisture-loving: cattail, reed.
Unpretentious: dandelion.
I have a question for the fans: where do you think the phrase “seventh heaven” came from?
The answer is: Our ancestors, the Slavs, imagined the world to be like a large egg. In the middle of the Slavic Universe, like a yolk, is the Earth itself, around it, like eggshells and films, are 9 different heavens. That is why we are still burning not only the “sky”, but also the “heavens”. Our ancestors considered the seventh thing to be “firmament,” the transparent bottom of the heavenly ocean; the island that they placed there was called “irium” or “virium.” Iriy was also called Buyan Island. There are stored reserves of living water, an inexhaustible source of rain. The Slavs believed that you could get to any sky by climbing the World Tree, which looked like a large spreading oak. However, not only acorns ripen on this oak tree, but also the seeds of all other trees and herbs.
The time has come to sum up the results of the last test. The jury's word...
And now we find out which team scored the most points. Congratulations to the winners!
(Awarding the winners and participants with certificates and prizes.)
All the best to you, friends! Do not forget: Everything is connected to everything, Everything has to go somewhere, Nature “knows” best, Nothing is given for free, Everything is or nothing, Everything is good in moderation, and remember the Law of the Minimum...

Progress of the event.
Teacher:
Good afternoon, dear guys!
How are you feeling?
Do you like the weather outside your window today?
Don’t you think that in just a couple of months nature has changed, taken on a new form, what happened to it? - That’s right, guys, it’s our nature to prepare for bed in order to gain strength and bloom with bright colors in the spring, just a couple of days and winter will come knocking on our door. Our nature is our home, here we live, drink water from sources, breathe this air. Everything in our region should be dear to us: small streams and large rivers and deep lakes, high mountains, colorful meadows and rich forests.
Slide 1Photos of my native land: upper and lower Kaban, blue lake, deep lake, Volga and Kazanka rivers,
Please answer me: do we take care of our nature - our home? - There is so much cruelty and indifference to nature around. Forests, rivers and their inhabitants are on the brink of death due to the fault of people.
Slide 2Photos of my native land: landfills near the lake, in the forest
Are we in union with nature?
How do you think we can prevent all this? Become one with nature.
We cannot solve big problems yet, but there are some things you can do: plant trees, care for plants and animals. I think that our meeting will not be in vain, and you will become real defenders of nature and will always be in alliance with it. But in order to protect nature you need to know a lot about it, today we will find out whether you are in union with nature.
Slide 3In union with nature
In our environmental tournament, everyone will be able to demonstrate their knowledge. We have 4 teams of players and each team has its own fans. During the tournament, fans will be able to help their team on some of the tasks and earn extra points for them. The work of our participants will be assessed by our distinguished jury:
At the end of the tournament, we will be able to determine which of the teams really lives in union with nature and knows how to take care of it. Guys, each team has its own captain, its own name and its own motto. So you prove to us that you are a team and your main goal is to protect nature, i.e. the team that connects the name and motto with the protection of nature will receive an additional point.

1. The characteristic conidial sporulation is reflected in the figurative name “brush mushroom”: conidiophores extend from the vegetative mycelium, branching at the apex in the form of a brush, on which chains of colored single-celled spores (conidia) are formed. Fungi cause food spoilage and participate in the decomposition of plant and animal tissues. They form mold. Colonies of green fungus can often be seen on things stored in basements. In the pharmaceutical industry they serve as sources for penicillins and other antibiotics. Penicillium
