Game selection requirements

1. Games must meet certain educational goals, carry a meaningful load in accordance with the program requirements for knowledge, skills and abilities, diversify teaching methods and organization, contribute to increasing their activity and independence.
2. Games should correspond to the material being studied and be built taking into account preparedness and psychological characteristics students.
3. Games require the creation of the necessary didactic material and determine the method of its application.
A didactic game will make it possible to more vividly realize all the leading functions of learning: educational, upbringing and developing.
Practice shows that in didactic games In Chemistry, weak performers participate with great interest, who are fascinated by the very process of the game, the spirit of competition, the desire for their team to win, which contributes to better assimilation and deepening of knowledge on the topic covered.
To improve knowledge on certain issues, topics can be used in the chemistry lessons of the game, which are called "Chemical Maze", "Task Stories", "Tic-Tac-Toe".

Homework can take the following forms of games:
mutual interrogation;
heuristic conversation;
creative homework:
compiling puzzles;
scanwords;
crosswords;
chemical stories.

Any element of the lesson diversifies the practical research activities. To enhance the effect of perception when conducting role playing chemical experiments can be used. But in any case, it is necessary to follow the safety rules when working with chemicals, master the methodology for conducting demonstration experiments.
The proposed games and game situations are different not only in form, but also in character. They will provide an opportunity, along with traditional forms of education, to significantly increase the motivational sphere. educational process, which will undoubtedly affect the qualitative and quantitative indicators of the cognitive activity of students in chemistry lessons.

labyrinths

Find the path that will lead you to the finish line. Start the passage of the maze from the upper left cell. If the judgment entered in this cell is correct, then continue along the arrow marked "yes". If this judgment is wrong, then you should continue along the arrow marked "no". For a complete assimilation of the information given in the labyrinth, choose as the initial different cells labyrinth.

puzzles

It is customary to call a rebus an image of a word or a whole sentence using a combination of letters, numbers, drawings, signs, etc. Therefore, the rebus is a puzzle that requires quick wits, imagination and work of thought to solve.

In order to solve and compose puzzles, you need to know some of the rules and techniques that are used in compiling them.

1. The names of all objects depicted in the rebus are read only in the nominative case.

2. The depicted object may have not one, but two or more names, for example: “eye” and “eye”.

3. If in the name of an object it is necessary to discard one or two letters at the beginning or at the end of the word, it is used< условный знак - запятая. Если запятая слева вверху от

figure, then this means that you need to discard the first letter from its name, if it is at the top right of the picture, then the last one. If there are two commas, then two letters are discarded accordingly, and so on.

4. If any two objects or two letters are drawn one into the other, then their names are read with the addition of "in".

5. If any letter consists of another letter, then they read with the addition of "from".

6. If there is another letter or object behind any letter or object, then you need to read with the addition of “for”.

7. If one figure or letter is drawn under another, then you need to read with the addition of "on", "above" or "under".

8. If for any letter another is written, “leaned” against it, then they read with the addition of “by”.

9. If one letter lies near the other, “leaned” against it, then they read with the addition of “y”.

10. If the object is drawn upside down, then its name must be read from the end.

11. If an object is drawn, and a letter is written next to it, and then a letter is crossed out, then this means that this letter must be discarded from the resulting word. If there is another one above the crossed out letter, then this means that it is necessary to replace the crossed out one with it.

12. If the numbers 4, 2, 3, 1 are next to the picture, then this means that the fourth letter of the name of the picture is read at the beginning, then the second, etc.

13. In rebuses, individual syllables “do”, “re”, “mi”, “fa” are often depicted with the corresponding notes.

14. The meaning of drawings or symbols is written down one after another without gaps and punctuation marks. The resulting series of letters is divided by meaning into individual words that make up a phrase.

1-5.

Names are encrypted in these puzzles chemical elements(1, 2, 5), simple and complex substances (4), as well as natural and chemical phenomena (3).

Try to encrypt the names of other chemical elements and phenomena in the form of puzzles. This type of task can be offered to students at home, and then used in the classroom.

Mystery stories

Mystery stories are tasks and, if you like, fiction. Certain questions, problems, situations or tasks are woven into the plot of the story, which the hero must complete or solve, and with him the student. When solving a riddle story, you should carefully read the text, as it usually contains hints that make it easier to complete the task.

The house built by M.

The house in which Uncle Odor lives was built according to the design of the greatest architect of all times and peoples M., who lived inXIXcentury. Actually, this is not a house, but a large seven-story palace in which friends, colleagues and just acquaintances live.

It cannot be said that all residents have a kind, even and docile character. Someone is friends with someone, and another seeks to avoid this friendship; some you can't spill with water, and others you'll never see together. Nevertheless, everyone gets along well in this wonderful house.

On the ground floor there is a large hall and only three living rooms. Sir Liy lives in one of them, and Uncle Odor occupies the other two.

A total of eight apartments on the second and third floors, so they, together with the first, are called small floors. There are many more rooms on the upper, larger floors. On the fourth and fifth - eighteen each, on the sixth - thirty-two.

The seventh floor has not yet been completed, but according to the project, thirty-two apartments are also planned there.

So joyful and interesting housewarmings are expected ahead. After all, each tenant of this house is a bright individuality. True, the members of the two surnames are surprisingly similar at first glance, there are even twins, but you should take a closer look and you will see how different they are.

It is necessary to say about the features of this house. Firstly, the transitions from one floor to another are arranged in the form of a spiral. To get to the upper floors, you need to go up the stairs, and then along the long corridor of the next floor. From each such corridor, separate doors lead to the rooms of the residents.

The layout of apartments on floors in the house is deeply thought out, and they (apartments) are distributed taking into account family ties between residents. Relatives in a straight line and side lines can visit each other, bypassing the corridors on the floors, because the rooms along the entire height of the house are strictly one above the other, and there are transitional ladders between them.

Only two big families live together. Taking into account family traditions, an exception was made for them and separate wings were allocated for these families, one on the sixth, the other on the seventh floor.

Here it is necessary to pay attention once again to the foresight of the architect. Indeed, at the first stage of planning the palace, only sixty-three applications were received for a place of residence in it. However, the architect M. took into account possible demographic changes and laid an additional thirty apartments in the project, counting on the future. And he was not mistaken: now one hundred and ten tenants are registered in this house.

Questions:

Who is the author of the project of an extraordinary house and what kind of house is it? What do you know about the seven floors of the house and the occupants on each floor? Which two surnames are mentioned in the story and what are their family traditions? How many apartments are to be populated on the seventh floor? For which residents did the architect M. provide empty or spare apartments in his project? Who are relatives in the straight and lateral lines?

Answer: The house referred to in the story is D.I. Mendeleev. It consists of seven periods (floors), each of which has a strictly defined number of elements (residents).

For all elements, the position in the system is uniquely determined, with the exception of hydrogen. In connection with the structure of the atom and properties similar to those alkali metals and halogens, hydrogen is simultaneously placed in the 1st and 7th groups of the periodic system.

The first three periods are called small, and the next - large. The 7th period is called still incomplete. If we continue it by analogy with the pattern of filling the elements of the 6th period, then the 7th period will end with a noble gas with the serial number 118.

Two families of chemical elements - lanthanides and actinides in the usual version of the image of the periodic system are taken out of the table (into separate wings). The structure of the outer electronic levels of these elements is similar, so they have similar properties.

In the history of chemistry, there have been many "discoveries" of imaginary elements that were actually mixtures of several very similar lanthanides in properties. So there were chemical elements with names - PRASEODYM (light green twin) and NEODYM (new twin).

Since the discovery of the periodic law, only 63 chemical elements have been known to science. However, D.I. Mendeleev brilliantly predicted the existence of many more undiscovered elements, leaving empty cells (vacant apartments) in the table for them. The scientist's predictions were brilliantly confirmed.

Relatives in the direct and lateral lines are chemical elements within a certain group).

Detective game.

There is a metal fireproof safe in the room. A note hangs on his pen: "Solve the problem and the safe will open."

Task. Get three hydroxides so that the first one is acidic, the second is basic, and the third is amphoteric. Everything you need is in this safe. Reagents stand in a row on the top shelf. It is known that:

1. Salt is in a bag, and zinc is in a jar.

2. The mass of the liquid is 500 g.

3. The mass of the substance in the crystalline state is 200 g, it is next to the flask.

4. To the right of zinc - non-metal, even more to the right - copper sulfate.

5. The mass of the substance in the flask is 300 g, and in the jar it is 2 times less than in the bag.

6. To the right of the solution is metal.

7. Among the reagents are sulfur, potassium hydroxide and water.

8. To the left of the solution is the substance in the bottle, and the second to the right is the powder.

9. The mass of one of the substances is 400 g.

10. The oxide is not in the form of granules.

Define, what are the substances stored in and in what order are they placed on the shelf?

Answer. Based on the condition of the assignment, it can be determined that there were five substances and that there was zinc in the middle of the row on the shelf.

Draw a table and complete it.

Place a little sulfur in a spoon for burning substances, set fire to a spirit lamp and add burning sulfur to a flask with a small amount of water at the bottom. As a result of the hydration of sulfur oxide (4), sulfurous acid (acid hydroxide) was formed in the flask. The base (copper hydroxide) can be obtained by an exchange reaction between a copper sulfate solution prepared from copper sulfate and an alkali solution.

Amphoteric hydroxide (zinc hydroxide) is obtained in two stages. Having prepared a solution of copper sulfate, part of it is spent to obtain copper hydroxide, and zinc granules are added to the second part. Thus, a solution of zinc sulfate and metallic copper in the precipitate were obtained. Now carefully pour the salt solution into a clean test tube and add a few drops of alkali solution. Separate the precipitation of zinc hydroxide by filtration.

Minerals of the Black Magician.

In one of the halls of the exhibition of the Black Magician, the exposition began with samples of rather nondescript limestones. Further there were separate blocks and polished slabs of snow-white, black, red, gray and multi-colored marble.

A special place was given to the shell rock. The monolith, pressed over millions of years from the smallest and larger shells, served as the basis for the interior of the hall. In its niches, on ledges, partitions and stands, hundreds of minerals and shells of mollusks of the most various kinds and sizes. Mother-of-pearl, pearls, skeletons of coral polyps also consist mainly of this compound.

Even chalk, a soft sedimentary rock made up of the skeletons of microorganisms, has the same composition.

The Black Magician took a piece of chalk from the stand and wrote in large letters on a slab of black marble chemical compound(name it).

Answer: The exposition of the collection was represented by minerals and samples of inorganic and animal origin, consisting mainly of calcium carbonate, the formula of which was written by the Black Magician with chalk on a slab of black marble).

Kaleidoscope of mysteries

1) CHARADES.

Charades These are riddles, the answers to which are solved in parts. For example, two words MOUSE and YAK, connecting with each other, form the whole word ARSENIC

The answer to the next charade consists of the two syllables COP and BIT, encrypted in the first half of the riddle. In general, both words, when combined together, form the word SORBIT - a six-atomic alcohol, a sugar substitute for patients with diabetes mellitus.

My first syllable is swept with a broom.

The informant considers the second syllable.

In general, I will say, dear friends,

For many patients, instead of sugar, I am.

The first syllable is a well-known preposition.

The second syllable is harder to find:

Part of it will be a number,

Add an I to it.

To know the whole

You need to name the metal.

Answer: sodium. ,

I am a gas, a simple substance,

My two-digit number.

And my first syllable is a deity,

The river is the second syllable.

Answer: radon.

My first syllable means ruin.

My second syllable is tiny.

I am born only in green plants.

Answer - who am I.

Answer: starch.

2) ANAGRAMS - these are riddles, the answers to which are from the same letters. The words GLASS and FLASK, for example, can be an anagram. Having guessed one word in the riddle, you need to rearrange the letters so that you get a new one.

Born in a bright flame,

I am dull and grey.

If the letters are rearranged,

I will become a flexible stem.

Answer: ash - vine.

I am a combustible product,

I live in swamps.

But there is one letter

In a short title.

Her jump is fast -

And everything changed:

I have become an element.

So the miracle happened!

Answer: peat - fluorine.

3) METAGRAMS - these are riddles in which different words are encrypted, consisting of the same number of letters. Having guessed one of the words of the metagram, you need to replace one or more letters in it so that you get a new word according to the meaning of the riddle. For example, the words TIN and WORD can form a metagram.

In the first riddle, the word URAL is conceived; replacing L with H in it, we get the word URAN, in accordance with the meaning of the second part of the metagram.

Ships bypass me;

The pilot knows by heart.

If L is replaced by D,

I'll be metal.

Answer: stranded - copper.

With KA - active metal,

With GE - I am a very light gas.

For you to figure us out

Look at the system again.

Answer: potassium - helium.

4) LOGOGRYPHS - these are riddles that are solved by removing or adding letters or syllables to the encrypted word so that a new word is obtained. For example, the words LOTO and GOLD can form a logotype.

In free form, he kills everyone.

If "linked", then they add it to food.

But if in a word we cross out L,

We will sing a song together with everyone.

Answer: in this riddle the word CHLORINE is conceived; by crossing out the letter L in it, we get the word XOR, corresponding to the meaning of the second part of the logogriff.

Think carefully

To guess the word

I'm like a lifeline -

Try to name.

If F is attached to me -

I will turn into a non-metal.

Answer: tor - fluorine.

I am metal, you know me.

The power is great in me.

If you add B to me,

I will hide the sky in a snowy haze.

Answer: uranium - storm.

Rebuses are drawings, images or symbols that need to be solved, deciphered. In rebuses, individual words, sayings, proverbs, excerpts from works, etc. are encrypted. To solve the rebus, it is necessary to determine the meanings of the given drawings or symbols and write them down one by one without gaps and punctuation marks. After that, the resulting series of letters is divided by meaning into separate words that make up the phrase. When compiling puzzles, they use certain methods of encrypting the text or individual words. For example, the figure shows a house, and to the left of it is a comma. This means that one initial letter is discarded from the word DOM, and the rest is written OM.

Didactic games in the study of chemistry in grade 8

Chapter II. DIDACTIC GAMES-MINUTES. VERBAL DIDACTIC GAMES

Verbal (from Latin verbalis - verbal) games do not require long preparations and complex attributes. They can be used instead of an epigraph at the beginning of the lesson, as well as at all subsequent stages of training. Verbal didactic games include anagrams, logogryphs, metagrams, charades, cryptograms, riddles, rebuses, crosswords, chainwords, quizzes, etc.

Anagrams

The letters are on the table in front of you.
Arrange them so that they become words.
The first word is one figure,
In total, it has four corners, mind you.
Manage to collect the second word -
You need to name the red-brown liquid.

(Rhombus - bromine.)

I am the rarest gas on Earth.
Radium and lead are close to me.
But if you rearrange letters to me,
I am already a story maker.

(Radon is the people.)

I am the source of energy.
And I can tell you for sure:

Eugene Peligot - receive.
But if the letters are rearranged
And put me in the corner
I will stand there,
Silently collect garbage.

(Uranus is an urn.)

I am a combustible product,
I live in swamps.
But there is one letter
In a short title.
Her jump is fast -
And everything changed:
I have become an element.
So the miracle happened!

(Peat - fluorine.)

Logogriffs

Think carefully
To guess the word.
I am like a lifeline
Try to name.
If F is added at the end,
I'll be in the swamp
If F is substituted forward,
I will turn into non-metal.

(Thor - peat - fluorine.)

In free form, he kills everyone,
If "linked", then they add it to food.
But if in a word we cross out L,
Then together with all we will sing a song.

(Chlorine - chor.)

2. Puzzles

It is customary to call a rebus an image of a word or a whole sentence using a combination of letters, numbers, drawings, signs, etc. Hence, rebus - a puzzle that requires quick wits, imagination and work of thought to solve.

In order to solve and compose puzzles, you need to know some of the rules and techniques that are used in their compilation.

1. The names of all objects depicted in the rebus are read only in the nominative case.

2. The depicted object may have not one, but two or more names, for example: “eye” and “eye”.

3. If in the name of an object it is necessary to discard one or two letters at the beginning or at the end of the word, it is used

figure, then this means that you need to discard the first letter from its name, if it is at the top right of the picture, then the last one. If there are two commas, then two letters are discarded accordingly, and so on.

4. If any two objects or two letters are drawn one into the other, then their names are read with the addition of "in".

5. If any letter consists of another letter, then they read with the addition of "from".

6. If there is another letter or object behind any letter or object, then you need to read with the addition of “for”.

7. If one figure or letter is drawn under another, then you need to read with the addition of "on", "above" or "under".

8. If for any letter another is written, “leaned” against it, then they read with the addition of “by”.

9. If one letter lies near the other, “leaned” against it, then they read with the addition of “y”.

10. If the object is drawn upside down, then its name must be read from the end.

11. If an object is drawn, and a letter is written next to it, and then a letter is crossed out, then this means that this letter must be discarded from the resulting word. If there is another one above the crossed out letter, then this means that it is necessary to replace the crossed out one with it.

12. If the numbers 4, 2, 3, 1 are next to the picture, then this means that the fourth letter of the name of the picture is read at the beginning, then the second, etc.

13. In rebuses, individual syllables “do”, “re”, “mi”, “fa” are often depicted with the corresponding notes.

14. The meaning of drawings or symbols is written down one after another without gaps and punctuation marks. The resulting series of letters is divided by meaning into separate words that make up the phrase,

In these rebuses, the names of chemical elements (1, 2, 5), simple and complex substances (4), as well as natural and chemical phenomena (3) are encrypted.

Try to encrypt the names of other chemical elements and phenomena in the form of puzzles. This type of task can be offered to students at home, and then used in the classroom.

No. 1: a) iron, b) nitrogen, c) arsenic, d) copper, e) sodium, f) tin.

4. Mystery stories

Mystery stories are tasks and, if you like, fiction. Certain questions, problems, situations or tasks are woven into the plot of the story, which the hero must complete or solve, and with him the student. When solving a riddle story, you should carefully read the text, as it usually contains hints that make it easier to complete the task.

The house built by M.

The house in which Uncle Odor lives was built according to the design of the greatest architect of all times and peoples, M., who lived in the 19th century. Actually, this is not a house, but a large seven-story palace in which friends, colleagues and just acquaintances live.

It cannot be said that all residents have a kind, even and docile character. Someone is friends with someone, and another seeks to avoid this friendship; some you can't spill with water, and others you'll never see together. Nevertheless, everyone gets along well in this wonderful house.

On the ground floor there is a large hall and only three living rooms. Sir Liy lives in one of them, and Uncle Odor occupies the other two.

A total of eight apartments on the second and third floors, so they, together with the first, are called small floors. There are many more rooms on the upper, larger floors. On the fourth and fifth - eighteen each, on the sixth - thirty-two.

The seventh floor has not yet been completed, but according to the project, thirty-two apartments are also planned there.

So joyful and interesting housewarmings are expected ahead. After all, each tenant of this house is a bright individuality. True, the members of the two surnames are surprisingly similar at first glance, there are even twins, but you should take a closer look and you will see how different they are.

It is necessary to say about the features of this house. Firstly, the transitions from one floor to another are arranged in the form of a spiral. To get to the upper floors, you need to go up the stairs, and then along the long corridor of the next floor. From each such corridor, separate doors lead to the rooms of the residents.

The arrangement of apartments on floors in the house is deeply thought out, and they (apartments) are distributed taking into account family ties between residents. Relatives in a straight line and side lines can visit each other, bypassing the corridors on the floors, because the rooms along the entire height of the house are strictly one above the other, and there are transitional ladders between them.

Only two big families live together. Taking into account family traditions, an exception was made for them and separate wings were allocated for these families, one on the sixth, the other on the seventh floor.

Here it is necessary to pay attention once again to the foresight of the architect. Indeed, at the first stage of planning the palace, only sixty-three applications were received for a place of residence in it. However, the architect M. took into account possible demographic changes and laid an additional thirty apartments in the project, counting on the future. And he was not mistaken: now one hundred and ten tenants are registered in this house.

Questions:

Who is the author of the project of an extraordinary house and what kind of house is it? What do you know about the seven floors of the house and the occupants on each floor? Which two surnames are mentioned in the story and what are their family traditions? How many apartments are to be populated on the seventh floor? For which residents did the architect M. provide empty or spare apartments in his project? Who are relatives in the straight and lateral lines?

Answer: The house referred to in the story is D.I. Mendeleev. It consists of seven periods (floors), each of which has a strictly defined number of elements (residents).

For all elements, the position in the system is uniquely determined, with the exception of hydrogen. In connection with the structure of the atom and properties similar to those of alkali metals and halogens, hydrogen is simultaneously placed in the 1st and 7th groups of the periodic system.

The first three periods are called small, and the next - large. The 7th period is called still incomplete. If we continue it by analogy with the pattern of filling the elements of the 6th period, then the 7th period will end with a noble gas with the serial number 118.

Two families of chemical elements - lanthanides and actinides in the usual version of the image of the periodic system are taken out of the table (into separate wings). The structure of the outer electronic levels of these elements is similar, so they have similar properties.

In the history of chemistry, there have been many "discoveries" of imaginary elements that were actually mixtures of several very similar lanthanides in properties. So there were chemical elements with names - PRASEODYM (light green twin) and NEODYM (new twin).

Since the discovery of the periodic law, only 63 chemical elements have been known to science. However, D.I. Mendeleev brilliantly predicted the existence of many more undiscovered elements, leaving empty cells (vacant apartments) in the table for them. The scientist's predictions were brilliantly confirmed.

Relatives in the direct and lateral lines are chemical elements within a certain group).

Detective game.

There is a metal fireproof safe in the room. A note hangs on his pen: "Solve the problem and the safe will open."

Task. Get three hydroxides so that the first one is acidic, the second is basic, and the third is amphoteric. Everything you need is in this safe. Reagents stand in a row on the top shelf. It is known that:

1. Salt is in a bag, and zinc is in a jar.

2. The mass of the liquid is 500 g.

3. The mass of the substance in the crystalline state is 200 g, it is next to the flask.

4. To the right of zinc - non-metal, even more to the right - copper sulfate.

5. The mass of the substance in the flask is 300 g, and in the jar it is 2 times less than in the bag.

6. To the right of the solution is metal.

7. Among the reagents are sulfur, potassium hydroxide and water.

8. To the left of the solution is the substance in the bottle, and the second to the right is the powder.

9. The mass of one of the substances is 400 g.

10. The oxide is not in the form of granules.

Define, what are the substances stored in and in what order are they placed on the shelf?

Answer. Based on the condition of the assignment, it can be determined that there were five substances and that there was zinc in the middle of the row on the shelf.

Draw a table and complete it.

Place a little sulfur in a spoon for burning substances, set fire to a spirit lamp and add burning sulfur to a flask with a small amount of water at the bottom. As a result of the hydration of sulfur oxide (4), sulfurous acid (acid hydroxide) was formed in the flask. The base (copper hydroxide) can be obtained by an exchange reaction between a copper sulfate solution prepared from copper sulfate and an alkali solution.

Amphoteric hydroxide (zinc hydroxide) is obtained in two stages. Having prepared a solution of copper sulfate, part of it is spent to obtain copper hydroxide, and zinc granules are added to the second part. Thus, a solution of zinc sulfate and metallic copper in the precipitate were obtained. Now carefully pour the salt solution into a clean test tube and add a few drops of alkali solution. Separate the precipitation of zinc hydroxide by filtration.

Minerals of the Black Magician.

In one of the halls of the exhibition of the Black Magician, the exposition began with samples of rather nondescript limestones. Further there were separate blocks and polished slabs of snow-white, black, red, gray and multi-colored marble.

A special place was given to the shell rock. The monolith, pressed over millions of years from the smallest and larger shells, served as the basis for the interior of the hall. In its niches, on ledges, partitions and stands, hundreds of minerals and mollusk shells of various types and sizes were placed. Mother-of-pearl, pearls, skeletons of coral polyps also consist mainly of this compound.

Even chalk, a soft sedimentary rock made up of the skeletons of microorganisms, has the same composition.

The Black Magician took a piece of chalk from the stand and wrote in large letters on a slab of black marble a chemical compound (name it).

Answer: The exposition of the collection was represented by minerals and samples of inorganic and animal origin, consisting mainly of calcium carbonate, the formula of which was written by the Black Magician with chalk on a slab of black marble).

5. A kaleidoscope of mysteries

1) CHARADES.

Charades These are riddles, the answers to which are solved in parts. For example, two words MOUSE and YAK, connecting with each other, form the whole word ARSENIC

The answer to the next charade consists of the two syllables COP and BIT, encrypted in the first half of the riddle. In general, both words, when combined together, form the word SORBIT - a six-atomic alcohol, a sugar substitute for patients with diabetes mellitus.

My first syllable is swept with a broom.

The informant considers the second syllable.

In general, I will say, dear friends,

For many patients, instead of sugar, I am.

The first syllable is a well-known preposition.

The second syllable is harder to find:

Part of it will be a number,

Add an I to it.

To know the whole

You need to name the metal.

Answer: sodium. ,

I am a gas, a simple substance,

My two-digit number.

And my first syllable is a deity,

The river is the second syllable.

Answer: radon.

My first syllable means ruin.

My second syllable is tiny.

I am born only in green plants.

Answer - who am I.

Answer: starch.

2) ANAGRAMS- these are riddles, the answers to which are from the same letters. The words GLASS and FLASK, for example, can be an anagram. Having guessed one word in the riddle, you need to rearrange the letters so that you get a new one.

Born in a bright flame,

I am dull and grey.

If the letters are rearranged,

I will become a flexible stem.

Answer: ash - vine.

I am a combustible product,

I live in swamps.

But there is one letter

In a short title.

Her jump is fast -

And everything changed:

I have become an element.

So the miracle happened!

Answer: peat - fluorine.

3) METAGRAMS- these are riddles in which different words are encrypted, consisting of the same number of letters. Having guessed one of the words of the metagram, you need to replace one or more letters in it so that you get a new word according to the meaning of the riddle. For example, the words TIN and WORD can form a metagram.

In the first riddle, the word URAL is conceived; replacing L with H in it, we get the word URAN, in accordance with the meaning of the second part of the metagram.

Ships bypass me;

The pilot knows by heart.

If L is replaced by D,

I'll be metal.

Answer: stranded - copper.

With KA - active metal,

With GE - I am a very light gas.

For you to figure us out

Look at the system again.

Answer: potassium - helium.

4) LOGOGRYPHS- these are riddles that are solved by removing or adding letters or syllables to the encrypted word so that a new word is obtained. For example, the words LOTO and GOLD can form a logotype.

In free form, he kills everyone.

If "linked", then they add it to food.

But if in a word we cross out L,

We will sing a song together with everyone.

Answer: in this riddle the word CHLORINE is conceived; by crossing out the letter L in it, we get the word XOR, corresponding to the meaning of the second part of the logogriff.

Think carefully

To guess the word

I'm like a lifeline -

Try to name.

If F is attached to me -

I will turn into a non-metal.

Answer: tor - fluorine.

I am metal, you know me.

The power is great in me.

If you add B to me,

I will hide the sky in a snowy haze.

Answer: uranium - storm.

Use of non-traditional
teaching methods in chemistry lessons

In our ecologically difficult age, the study of chemistry at school has two aspects: the study of the subject itself and the influence of chemical production on the entire complex of living nature. But how to teach children to be not only listeners and contemplators, how to help them understand the beauty of the world around them, to see a miracle in a drop of water, to look at the world through the eyes of a zealous owner of the Earth?
I see this path in the awakening of children's creativity. The creative atmosphere has a positive effect on the educational activity itself, the interests of students, reveals their individuality, suggests new approaches to learning, and increases the prestige of knowledge in the subject. Therefore, it is necessary to teach children to look at the studied object through the eyes of the creator. Children's imagination can be awakened by setting a specific goal for the student, by introducing him to one of the forms of work.
My today's eighth graders from the first chemistry lessons plunge into the atmosphere of creativity, because the teacher has accumulated material and worked out the forms creative works. The co-creation of the teacher and students begins already at the first lesson - "Compliance with safety precautions in the chemistry lesson." The traditional approach, when the teacher explains and the students listen and answer the questions posed, is not always effective here. Pedagogical experience suggests that the best mutual understanding can be achieved when students are given tasks from another area known to them.

    For example, students are asked to solve a puzzle. Showing the puzzle to the children (Fig. 1), I explain that it was invented by a girl from our school when she was their age.

The students begin to examine it with interest, solve it, and now ... some are already running to me to whisper their answers in my ear. A few moments later, in chorus: "Keep your desk clean."
Question to the class. What does the encrypted phrase have to do with the topic of the lesson "Compliance with safety precautions in a chemistry lesson"?

    Next, we introduce the guys to the "Safety Instructions" located in the office and signed by the director of the gymnasium. After the conversation, a book-board opens with a set of letters that need to be read (Fig. 2):

To read this “maze”, there is a rule: starting from the upper left cell and moving horizontally (left or right) or vertically (up or down), go through all the cells so that the letters make a safety rule. Each cell can be used once.
“Chemical reagents cannot be tasted” - children find such an answer.

    Then the students receive the following task-maze at home, which they, writing down, immediately begin to solve (Fig. 3):

Answer.“Keep a test tube with a heated liquid with a hole away from yourself and from your comrades.”

    On the same day, children receive creative homework: draw a safety rule on a piece of paper or in a notebook.

I will give one of the examples that one of the students brought to the next lesson (Fig. 4). He coded the rule on the chessboard. You can read it if you know how to play chess. So, with the rook's move, starting from a8 to b8, go around the entire board (final point e3) in such a way as to decipher the safety rule. You should get the phrase: “In a chemistry lesson, you can do extraneous experiments only by asking the teacher.”

Children are happy to solve chemical crossword puzzles, puzzles, riddles that they have come up with themselves. In chemistry lessons and in extracurricular activities, I use the following elements with a chemical content: burime, chemical songs, fables related to ecology, performances. As a result, the child is all the time at the lesson in an atmosphere of creative play, saturated with scientific concepts, and imperceptibly learns them.
It would seem that chemistry as a subject of study is far from literary creativity, but in what an amazing way purely chemical concepts are refracted in the minds of children when they are faced with the task of presenting them in artistic images or in the role of literary heroes. Chemical elements at the same time become good or greedy, noble or insidious, acquire human characters. Their relationships with each other and actions affirm the best qualities of a person, i.e., contribute to the humanization of learning.
For example, a type of decomposition reaction is studied, and suddenly this reaction “comes to life”: malachite turns into a merchant – the revived fairy tale “How the merchant Malachite decomposed” is considered.
Great opportunities for the development of children's creative abilities are given by the study of one of the main and most difficult topics - the periodic law and the periodic system of D.I. Mendeleev. Visualization, figurative presentation of a difficult topic in an entertaining way make it easier for children to understand and master the tasks set by the teacher. Difficulties in perceiving complex theoretical material, its abstraction, the inability to look inside, to understand the periodic system and the structure of the atom create problems for many and dislike for the subject.
The shift in emphasis in the study of the topic from “you need to remember, memorize” to the plane “think up, create, you can do it” changes the approach to the problem. Predicted academic failure translates into a creative decision. The result is the joy of learning and satisfaction with what has been achieved.
Our creative team created an illustrated educational fairy tale in chemistry "The Incredible Journey of Hydrogen on the Table of D.I. Mendeleev", which we consider a kind of pedagogical find. This approach will help teachers of chemistry in teaching the subject, and the children - without coercion to learn the difficult theoretical section of the program.
In the fairy tale Hydrogen - Ashka - in search of a friend meets with such chemical elements as helium, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, gets acquainted with the properties of other chemical elements and their compounds. The plot of the fairy tale is fantastic, but basically contains quite scientific facts. In a fairy tale, chemical elements and the substances formed by them “come to life” in an entertaining way. The chemical elements act as fairytale heroes, they have both specific properties and human traits. Light humorous style of narration, figurative drawings well reflect the properties of chemical elements.
I would like to note that this educational fairy tale was recognized by children, teachers, parents, and the public. The first part of it was awarded the Silver Medal of VDNKh of the USSR. As part of other creative works, the first and second parts were presented by me in a report at the Soviet-American Conference of Teachers of Natural Sciences in Moscow. The third part of the educational fairy tale (21 frames) has been created, the artist's work on the third part of the "Incredible Journey of Hydrogen on the Table of D.I. Mendeleev" will be completed in the near future.
Of great interest is the "speaking" periodic system of chemical elements, which was created by students of gymnasium No. 91 in Ufa. The peculiarity of the new system is that for each element, scientific material has been collected on the use in various fields. Symbols for the specific properties of elements in the composition of simple and complex substances have been invented and used. The table catches the eye of a child. Looking at it, the guys suddenly discover that this table does not need to be memorized, but on the contrary, you should turn to it for a hint.
In lessons and various competitions, we use the intellectual game developed in our gymnasium according to the periodic system “Guess the element”. Students guess the intended chemical element using questions about the properties and its location in nature and the answers "yes" or "no". During the game, children learn a lot of new things and strive for further comprehension of the unknown.
At one of the lessons, the girl brought a rebus (Fig. 5), in which she encoded the meaning of chemistry among other sciences. It's easy to figure it out. But how touching and beautiful is its content: “Chemistry is the science of the world!”
A creative student sits at a school desk and learns the basics of chemistry, not yet knowing what profession he will choose in life: a doctor or a lawyer, a teacher or an economist, a pilot or an artist ... But we can say with confidence that in any field he will be a caring person with an active life position, a person-creator.


Rice. 5. Rebus "The Meaning of Chemistry"

Once I read wonderful poems and thought that they were addressed to us, teachers who love to teach and moralize in the classroom, no matter what subject we teach. These are the verses:

So we, without "nails", try to interest, not force. Almost half of the chemistry course is studied using non-traditional methods, involving game forms, which significantly increases interest in the subject. Some of the presented materials were published in the journals "Teacher of Bashkortostan", "Teacher's newspaper", reported at Russian conferences in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Chelyabinsk, Ufa
