What is the world around us? It would seem a simple question that even a child in first grade can answer. However, if you dig a little deeper, it turns out that in reality everything is much more complicated. And the older and more educated a person is, the more complex his version of the answer is.
The reason for this is the great intellectual leap that humanity has made on the path of its evolution. Many religious movements, philosophical schools and scientific theories have given us the opportunity to change the interpretation of the answer to this question at our own discretion. Therefore, let's try to find out for ourselves what the world around us really is.
The truth is in simplicity
First, let's look at this question based on logic. common man, without delving into the subtle matters of the universe. So, the surrounding world is the space that surrounds us. And it is precisely at this moment that the first controversial statements appear.
If you look at it, it is quite difficult to outline the boundaries separating one space from another. After all, there are no specific standards that can organize all this knowledge in the heads of billions of people. In this regard, if you ask the usual question about what the world around us is, we will get different answers.
For example, for some it may be the space that directly surrounds them. For others, everything is much more complicated, and by this concept they mean our entire planet or even the Universe.
The world around us: wildlife
However, despite all the variety of answers, there are those that can be separated into a separate group. This is because, despite the minor differences, they still share some similarities that lead to a common idea.
In particular, many believe that the world around us is all living things around us. The same forests, fields, rivers and deserts. Animals and plants are also included here, as they are an integral part of this world.
What is the world around us through the eyes of philosophers?
Philosophers and theologians consider this issue more deeply. After all, for them our world is part of a more complex reality. For clarity, let us consider the main features of their views on the current order of things.
According to religion, our reality is a place where people live only part of the path prepared for them. That is, the world around us is just a screen, hiding from view a more beautiful place - paradise.
As for philosophers, they formulate the answer to this question more vaguely. Depending on the school, a thinker may define the concept of the surrounding world differently. For some it is a material place, for others it is a spiritual place, and for others it is a combination of the two previous ones.
The world around us 1st grade.

4.Discovery of new knowledge by children
Cognitive UUD
Personal UUD
TEACHER. Now, let's use our first assistant - open the textbook on the page. Let's look at the illustration carefully.
The teacher reads a poem.
TEACHER.
Look around, my friend!
You see a river, a forest, a meadow,
Flocks of birds, airplane,
That he went on a flight.
Sky, wind, clouds,
A river again, a meadow river!
TEACHER. We are starting to learn something new academic subject- "The world". Look at the picture again, look out the window, around, think and tell me, what is the world around us? What and who is part of the world around us?
STUDENTS. The world around us is what surrounds us, what is around us. These are different creatures and objects, animals, the sky, clouds, trees, houses, people.
TEACHER. Okay guys! Well done! And I want you to learn to observe the world around you, study and explore it.
In the lesson about the world around us, we will learn why day follows night? How many days are there in a year? Why do the seasons change? How diverse is the flora and fauna of the Earth? Why is it very important for a person to live in a family? What miracles can human hands create?
The game is a journey.
Row 1 goes into the forest.
Row 2 goes to the underwater world.
3rd row for a walk around our city.
-List the natural objects you saw there?
-One, two, three – we returned from the trip. You guys turned out to be very observant, so you named a lot of objects in the surrounding world.
Let's sum up the first result.
-What does the subject “The World around us” study?
Students open their textbooks and look at the pictures.
The world around us is what surrounds us, what is around us. These are different creatures and objects, animals, sky, clouds, trees, houses, people
Students can list several objects around them.
1st row: girl, pond, duck with ducklings, trees, grass.
2nd row: sea stars, vegetation, corals, bottom, water.
3rd row: building, square, flowers, trees.
The subject of the surrounding world studies the natural world, the world of things, the world of people.
5.Primary consolidation.
Regulatory UUD
Communicative UUD
WORK according to the textbook on p. 5Z
Assignment: Divide the drawings into two groups. Explain your decision. You can use a hint.
-List the items in the picture.
-Which two groups would you divide them into? Why?
-Let’s try to explain the full answer to the question: What is the world around us?
1 answer option: live and inanimate nature.
Option 2: the world of nature, the world of people, the world of things.
According to the textbook: the world around us is what is around us: nature, people and everything that is created by man.
The answers of children who can more accurately reproduce this definition are assessed.
6.Independent work.

WORK in workbooks on pp. 4-5
Task 1 on p.4.
-Color what is related to living nature.
PHYSICAL MINUTE for eyes and hands.
TEACHER. We did a good job with you and your eyes and hands deserve a little rest. We got up from our jobs, came out from behind our desks, raised our hands up, put them down. We repeat three times. Now let's try to rotate our arms: forward, backward. We stretched our arms to the side, bent them at the elbows and rotate them: back and forth, now we spread our arms to the sides and rotate our hands: back and forth. Now we lower our hands down and shake our hands a little. Close your eyes, imagine that you are on the shore of a gentle warm sea, hands down warm water, took the brushes out of the water and tried to shake off the drops. Well done! Now let's look carefully out the window at the large tree in the school yard, fix our gaze on the tree, and count to 10 out loud. Fine! Now close your eyes and count to 10 again.
Children follow the teacher’s instructions: rotate their arms, rotate their arms bent at the elbows, rotate and shake their hands, close their eyes.
WORK on page 5. notebooks.
-Combine the pictures into two groups. Explain your choice.
GAME “Attach carriages to the trains.”
Living and inanimate nature.
I call two train students to the board. Children show their picture from the seat, and the trains assemble the trailers.
TEACHER. Well done boys! That's right, we can divide all objects found in nature into two large groups– objects of living nature and objects of inanimate nature.
Flowers, butterfly, spruce, mushrooms.
Work in pairs: “Take advice from your neighbor.”
Dishes are inanimate nature, other objects are living nature.
They conduct active independent activities.
Control themselves and their comrades during the game.
Control based on the model on the board.
Communicative UUD -What new did you learn in the lesson?
–Who found it difficult? Interesting? Evaluating your work.
The purpose of the lesson:
- introduce students to the diversity of nature and its classification;
- consider the relationships in nature and the meaning of nature for humans;
- cultivate a caring attitude towards nature.
Equipment:
- diagrams - supports, cards;
- textbook, workbook, (objects of living and inanimate nature).
During the classes
I. Organizational moment.
Communicate the topic and objectives of the lesson. The teacher reads a poem.
There is just a temple
There is a temple of science.
And there is also a temple of nature -
With scaffolding reaching out
Towards the sun and winds.
He is holy at any time of the day,
Open to us in the heat and cold,
Come here, be a little hearty,
Do not desecrate her shrines.
Teacher. Guys, what is the main idea of these lines? What do you think the lesson will be about today? ( About nature.)
Teacher. That's right, the topic of our lesson is “Nature”. Today we will get acquainted with the diversity of nature and its classification. Let's consider the relationships in nature and its significance in human life.
II. Work on the topic “Diversity of nature and its classification.”
Teacher. What is nature? ( Everything that surrounds us and is not made by human hands.)
Pictures are displayed on the screen: car, river, rain, sun, fox, rose, birch, house, book, TV.
Teacher. Think about what you see can be attributed to nature, and what was created by human hands? ( Man-made objects are removed.)
– Read the names of the remaining natural objects ( rain, flowers, fox, etc.).
– What two groups can they be divided into? ( On objects of living and inanimate nature.)
– Fill out the cards, writing down the names of these objects in the desired group, come up with and write down three more examples.
Live nature | Inanimate nature |
Teacher. Guys, how do living beings differ from inanimate objects? ( Living beings or organisms live, breathe, eat, grow, develop, bear offspring, and die.)
Teacher. Eat special science which studies living nature and is called biology. This word comes from two Greek words “bios” - life and “lotus” - science.
In nature, biologists have divided all living things into magical kingdoms.
The table is displayed.
Kingdoms.
Plants | Animals | Gribov | ? |
Come up with and name the objects of these kingdoms. ( Children's answers.)
But that is not all. What kind of kingdom do you think could still exist? ( The children's answers are listened to.)
Teacher. Tiny organisms exist everywhere and anywhere. A huge amount of them can be in food, in the air, on objects. These are bacteria. They can only be seen with the help of a microscope - a magnifying device that you will work with in 5th grade.
III. Consolidation.
In order to consolidate the material, the children complete the task in workbook No. 1, 2 p. 4.
IV. Physical education lesson: “Living and non-living.”
The teacher calls a word, if it denotes an object of living nature, then the children jump on the spot, if an object of inanimate nature is called, then the children perform squats, etc.
V. Conversation “The importance of nature for people.”
Teacher. Is man a living or inanimate nature? ( Man belongs to living nature.)
– Have you guys ever thought about the fact that a person, by picking beautiful flowers, cutting down forests, exterminating animals, makes his homeland poorer? After all, forests, meadows and their inhabitants are the beauty of our land. Why, entering the forest. we see signs “Take care of the forest!” ( Children's answers.).
– Vacationers are different: there are good ones, and there are those who cut down young trees for a fire, break bushes, leave broken bottles, and the worst thing is to make fires. Remember! The most terrible enemy of the forest is fire! And the more we harm nature, the worse it becomes for us living on our planet. Why? ( The children's answers are listened to.) Draw a conclusion. Nature is the source of what? ( The diagram is displayed.)
- Nature is the source of air, food, water.
- Imagine, we came to the forest and admire its flora and fauna. What feelings do you have? ( We like him.) So this is the source beauty.
- Rest, beauty, Fresh air, pure water, healthy food is all the key to health.
- Arriving in the forest, you saw a broken tree branch. What will you do? ( I'll tie a branch.) After relaxing in the forest, you are left with empty juice boxes, cans, and bags. What will you do? ( I'll take it with me to throw it in the trash cans.) A kind, responsive attitude towards nature is the source of what? ( Kindness.)
- By studying nature, we know how ants build their anthills, why it snows and the sun shines, why mountains are destroyed. And this source of nature is called cognition.
- Not only beauty, kindness, knowledge surround us, but what we create is the source materials for economic activities.
VI. Lesson summary.
The world of wildlife is beautiful, and people are part of it. We need to protect and recognize this together. great world! Without him there would be no poetry, no art, no life. One person leaves a trail in the forest, a hundred people leave a path, and a thousand people leave a desert.
Nature is amazingly diverse. It is divided into living and non-living. Living nature is divided into kingdoms: plants, animals, fungi, bacteria. In nature, everything is interconnected. People could not live without the nature around them.
In my opinion, The concept of “the world around us” is quite multifaceted, and everyone imagines it differently. As for me, I consider the world that surrounds us interesting and amazing, and I am happy that I live in it.
The world that surrounds us
What is the world around us? For one person it will be space, that immediately surrounds it, and for the other - Universe. To put it simply in simple language, this is all that is around us:
- everything created by mankind;
- Live nature;
- inanimate nature.
However, the world is not just amazing, it more amazing than we can imagine. There are a huge number of animals, phenomena and plants, the existence of which most people do not even suspect.
Amazing things in the world around us
Absolutely lives in Madagascar amazing primate - little hand. Because of her a little strange looking, local residents are very wary of her. Their beliefs connect this animal with evil spirits and evil spirits. There is a sign that if you meet this animal, death will inevitably occur within a year.
One of the most mysterious phenomena - creeping stones, discovered at the bottom of a dry lake in the USA. The movement of stones without outside help is beyond doubt, but no one saw how this happened - they move once every few years. Scientists suggest that this is possible due to changes temperature regime.
Coconut crab is rightfully considered the largest representative of crustaceans - its length often reaches 35 centimeters. He lives on land, in burrows, where he arranges for himself a soft “feather bed” made from the leaves of coconut palms.
The most amazing tree on the planet - baobab. The unique ability of this tree is its vitality: if you remove the bark, a new one will grow in the shortest possible time. The trunk thickness often reaches 10 meters, and wood absorbs moisture like a sponge. It is believed that a tree can live for thousands of years, but this cannot actually be confirmed - no annual rings.
Panda Ant has absolutely nothing in common with the spotted bear, except appearance. In fact, it's not even an ant, and the German wasp, sometimes called the “velvet ant” due to the many hairs that cover its body. Like any other wasp, this “ant” may well sting, and the unpleasant sensations will persist for several hours.
The world around us is one of the most interesting and fascinating lessons in primary school. This is the world around us, these are animals and plants, this is space, the entire universe is in the palm of our hands. The child begins to understand the peculiarities of its functioning and learns how everything happens in this world. The world around us in primary school, grades 1, 2, 3, 4, is a preparation for a child’s understanding of such subjects as biology, physics, chemistry, astronomy, and physics. This is a necessary knowledge base. To accumulate a good foundation, you need to read a lot, and parents need to work with their child. They will help you in your studies methodological manuals, which you can download and print for free from our website.
