It is very important for the diversified development of kids to draw their attention to the seasonal changes in the world around us. For example, from the beginning of September, autumn phenomena of nature, both living and inanimate, should be celebrated. This is done on walks, during drawing, manual labor, speech development.
Autumn natural phenomena in the inanimate world
First of all, seasonal changes in inanimate nature should be noted. Older children can already keep a weather calendar, drawing special icons in it and conducting a comparative analysis with previous months. It is very important to observe plants and animals - the inhabitants of the zoo. The children should be led to the conclusion that autumn natural phenomena are divided into changes that occur in inanimate and living nature. A number of signs of this season are attributed to autumn phenomena in inanimate nature.

Aesthetic side of autumn phenomena
It is extremely important to draw children's attention not only to autumn natural phenomena as such, but also to help emerging personalities feel the beauty of the world around them. Learning tongue twisters, riddles, poems, songs of the autumn theme develops the vocabulary of kids, teaches them to notice the beautiful in the ordinary. Excursions to a forest or a park are very useful, where the children are given the task of collecting beautiful leaves, cones, acorns, dry twigs of an interesting shape, from which the children will subsequently make various crafts, applications, and paintings during manual labor classes under the guidance of a teacher.
Autumn phenomena in wildlife
Be sure to bring children to find the answer to the question: "What are the natural phenomena in the living world around us?" The answers to this question may be as follows.
- Insects hide with the onset of cold weather.
- Many birds gather in flocks in early autumn, prepare to fly to warmer countries, and by the middle of this period their departure begins.
- Many wild animals stock up onwinter food.
- Furry animals change summer coats for winter ones: gray hares turn into white, red squirrels turn into blue-gray, downs in animal fur become more abundant.
- People harvesting gardens, preparing them for storage.
- Work is being carried out on the plots: the soil is being dug up with the addition of organic fertilizers, some crops are being planted, beds with perennial plants are being insulated.
Properties of natural phenomena
When getting acquainted with natural phenomena, one should note their interconnection with each other. For example, a decrease in temperature in autumn contributes to the fact that all insects hide and fall asleep. And the trees shed their leaves because winter is approaching, when the daylight hours are very much reduced. But the leaves need the sun to live. And with the onset of frost, the amount of moisture in the ground will be limited, practically reduced to zero. To keep useful substances inside, the tree sheds its leaves, because through it the evaporation of internal moisture occurs.
