1. Theme of the presented work.

“Organization of research work of elementary school students. Project "Green World".

    Justification of the urgency of the problem.

Currently, environmental education in primary school is becoming an increasingly priority area in pedagogical theory and practice. This is due to the difficult environmental situation on earth.

Pictures of nature are the strongest aesthetic means of influencing the soul of a child, and its significance cannot be overestimated.

Education of ecological culture is one of the main directions of the general strategy of education.

Creative teaching methods should play a leading role. Research creative activity occupies a special place in the arsenal of innovative pedagogical tools and methods. Having studied the materials on this topic, I came to the conclusion that the methodology is focused more on high school students, whose subject interests have already been formed. And the elementary school still remained a little on the sidelines, but it is in the elementary school that the foundation of the skills, knowledge and skills of active, creative, independent activity of students, methods of analysis, synthesis and evaluation of the results of their activities should be laid, and research work is one of the most important ways in solving this problem.

The specificity of research work in elementary school lies in the systematic guiding, stimulating and corrective role of the teacher. The main thing for a teacher is to captivate and “infect” children, show them the significance of their activities and instill confidence in their abilities, as well as involve parents in their child’s school affairs. This work becomes an interesting and exciting thing for many parents. They, together with children, take photographs, perform simple research on observing the cultivation of plants, weather phenomena, help to select information for the theoretical justification of projects, help the child prepare the defense of his work. The works are very interesting, because this is a common interest and joint work of the child and parents.

Research activity forces and accustoms children to work with a book, newspaper, magazine, which is very important in our time, because from my own experience and based on the opinion of colleagues, I know that children, at best, read only textbooks. The child, feeling his importance, tries to help the teacher and is involved in research work.

    Theoretical base of experience.

    The environmental problem is a very important stage in the development of mankind. It determines the fate of the human world. People, conquering nature, largely destroyed the balance of ecological systems. “Before, nature was afraid of man, but now man is afraid of nature,” said French oceanologist Jacques Yves Cousteau. In some places, the environment has reached a state of crisis.

    No one can remain indifferent to environmental pollution. “The bird that pollutes its own nest is bad,” says a folk proverb.

    Pollution of the surroundings, reduction of natural resources poses great challenges for humanity. The future of our planet depends on the purity of the environment. To achieve all this, it is necessary that a person realizes everything himself and takes a step towards protecting nature.

    Today, our ecological culture is not at a high level. This suggests that such subjects as physics, computer science, astronomy, mathematics, chemistry pay little attention to ecology. The Law of the Russian Federation “Nature Protection” means that environmental knowledge must be received continuously. Its goal is to improve the ecological culture of every person.

    Ecological culture and school are closely interconnected. We are faced with the task of gaining knowledge of ecology. To achieve success, you need to work consistently using real facts.

    Ecology, as a science, is not included in the school curriculum. Therefore, environmental problems have to be studied in optional classes.

    In the lessons of geography and biology, we pay attention to the problems of the relationship between society and nature, to methods for developing the productivity of rural crops, and to studying the properties of adaptation of living organisms to environmental factors.

    Ecology Month is held at our school every school year. This month is dedicated to bird protection, ecological analysis and environmental greening.

    Based on all of the above, we have drawn up a project for our village. We set ourselves the task of improving the ecological condition of the territory of our village.

    The ecological state of the village

    Ecology is a science that studies the relationship between living organisms and the environment. If you notice that industry is growing every day, then for rural areas this turns into a large use of poisonous drugs and fertilizers, an increase in the number of transport. All this seriously affects the living world. Despite this, natural resources are decreasing, many species of animals and plants are disappearing. Every day more and more polluted air, water, environment. Therefore, each person is faced with the task of changing the ecological situation in his locality.

    We, students of the Village of Churinsky secondary school, have been carrying out effective work for the protection of nature for several years: we study the ecology around our school territory, our village, draw conclusions from the work done, try to improve the environment around us in better side.

    This year, students of grades 6-9 participated in this work, i.e. 36 people. To make the result of our work accurate, the study was conducted from 7 am to 9 pm. It took place in the months of February and March. It was taken into account the number of trees in the territory with. Chura village. Not far from the village passes the route Kukmor - Kazan. The students explored how far residential buildings are from the highway and what kind of cars usually pass by. The distance between residential buildings and livestock farms, a machine and tractor fleet, a gas station, warehouses where toxic chemicals are stored, a cattle cemetery, landfills, etc. was considered. We paid attention to what kind of garbage was in landfills. In addition, the pollution of snow and drinking water was investigated.

    After researching, they concluded: the Kukmor-Kazan highway runs south-southeast, 70 meters from the village. Chura village. During the winter months, approximately 16 trucks and 19 cars pass per hour, and in spring days this number increases to 23 trucks and 24 cars. According to theory, 1 passenger car emits 1 kg of smoke per day (41.6 g per hour). The composition of the smoke contains 30 g of carbon monoxide, 6 g of nitric oxide, sulfur, lead impurities. And trucks emit 3 times more toxic substances. Based on this data, we calculated how much dust is emitted by cars that drive along our track. So, cars and trucks emit 3868.8 g of smoke per hour, hence 2790 g of carbon monoxide, 558 g of nitric oxide, and other substances that are toxic to our body. If we keep in mind that there are 24 hours in a day and 365 days in a year, then it is not difficult to imagine how many toxic substances are released into the air. And we all breathe this air. It should also be added that 1 car that travels 1000 km will use the same air that 1 person would breathe for a whole year. It must be borne in mind that 1 machine produces 5–8 kg of rubber dust per year.

    Plants very quickly recognize the level of atmospheric pollution. For example: coniferous trees are very good bioindicators. At one of the lessons, we followed the spruces that grow near our village and noticed that there are brown spots on the trees - mold. This suggests that there is a large amount of sulfur dioxide in the atmosphere. Indeed, next to these fir trees there are 3 stokers and a highway. This means that every hour a gas rich in sulfur dioxide is released into the air from the boiler room, and car smoke is added to this. But not only they pollute our environment. At 150 m from residential buildings to the south-southeast there is a machine and tractor park and a gas station. We explored these places and determined how polluted the surface of the snow is. We checked the composition of the snow by taking snow from the park, the main street, the school site. Having melted the snow, we checked the acidity. As a result, it turned out that it contains acid ions, but most of them turned out to be in the machine and tractor fleet.

    Farms are located 90 m to S-SE, chemical warehouses (ammonia) are located 450 m to N-SW, a cattle cemetery is 700 m to N-SE, two dumps are located 1000 m to S and 50 m to N-SW (<Picture 1 >, <Figure 2>), in addition, the same garbage dumps are available in the village in 3 places. Among the garbage there are iron, glass, polyethylene, paper, etc. But paper - 2, flasks - 90, polyethylene - 200, glass - do not decay for 1000 years.

    It is good that different trees and plantings have been planted around the village. On the border of the village to the north-southwest at 1000 m there are coniferous trees - pines, to the north-southwest at 700 m there is a birch grove, towards the north-northwest at 500 m pine trees grow, towards the south-southwest at 500 m there is a birch grove, on the southwest at 800 m - pines. Trees have been planted along the Kukmor-Kazan highway to protect us from exhaust fumes. In addition to all these trees, there are also shrubs. On the territory of The village of Chura has 4595 trees and shrubs in total. According to statistics, elm absorbs 23 kg of dust in one summer. As a result, trees and shrubs growing along the village absorb 74.1 tons of dust during the summer. But they are still missing.

    We also checked the purity and hardness of the water through a microscope. The water that was taken from the well and the pump turned out to be clean, and in the water that was taken from the artesian well, flowing into the cattle complex, there are very small microorganisms. In terms of hardness, water from a column is medium, from a well it is soft, and from an artesian well it is hard, because. there are many anions and cations. They boiled the water. In the water taken from the well, the salt melted, while in other sources it did not completely dissolve. Hence the conclusion that water is hard.

    In autumn, an experiment was carried out with spring water. We checked temperature, taste, hydrogen sulfide and iron, spring water hardness. The conclusions were as follows: water temperature +1 0 C, transparent, unsalted, water contains iron, but no hydrogen sulfide, low hardness, water volume 1.3 l / s. ( Attachment 1)

    Conclusion

    The environmental problem is getting worse every year. The air we breathe, the water we drink, the soil are becoming more and more polluted every day. According to our research, it can be seen that transport pollutes the air, the number of springs and wells is becoming smaller every year, and the number of landfills, on the contrary, is increasing. Agricultural vehicles and farms pollute the water. To do this, we need to hold subbotniks in the village and beyond, clean everything around from garbage, reduce the number of landfills and plant trees for landscaping.

    Plants protect us from various dirty poisonous gases. Therefore, we must green the area around us. At the request of the forestry workers, every year the students of our school plant 10-15 hectares of tree seedlings. Last year we planted about 20 hectares of trees. 95–99% of planted young seedlings survive on the territory of the forest, and 85–90% in plantings along roads.

    It is impossible to achieve the protection of nature only by the efforts of students. Therefore, we try to ensure that every person in our village takes an active part in this. Together we must save our planet from ecological catastrophe.

      INTRODUCTION

      Every year food consumption is growing stronger and stronger. But, as they say, demand creates supply. Manufacturing companies appear and compete with each other. Unscrupulous manufacturers are increasingly adding various food additives to food. Also very often used packaging that cannot be recycled or destroyed without harm to nature. The buyer is obliged to choose a product that does not harm either him or the environment.

      Therefore, the topic my research project goes like this:"Environmentally literate consumer".

      Objective: gain skills in determining the quality of consumer goods and identifying their possible environmental hazard.

      Tasks :

      1. Study the problem using various sources of information.
      2. Find out if I am able to choose the “right” product: learn how to decipher the bar code; find out which food additives are harmful to health; choose the most environmentally friendly packaging.
      3. Conduct a survey on this issue, test the data obtained and suggest ways to choose a safe product.

      Hypothesis my research is that choosing safe products will help the consumer save the environment and their own health.

      Research methods:theoretical - collection, study, systematization and analysis of literature on this issue; experimental - the study of food additives, barcodes and packaging, practical attempts to choose an environmentally friendly product; sociological survey - conducting a survey among schoolchildren.

      CHAPTER 1. BAR CODE

      Barcode (barcode ) is a sequence of black and white stripes representing some information in a form convenient for reading by technical means.

      1.1. The advent of the barcode

      “... In 1948, Bernard Silver (1924 - 1962), a graduate student at the Drexel University Institute of Technology in Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, USA), heard the president of a local food chain ask one of the deans to develop a system that automatically reads information about the product under his control. Silver told his friends Norman Joseph Woodland (b. 1921) and Jordin Johanson about this. The three of them began to explore different labeling systems. Their first working system used UV ink, but it was quite expensive and faded over time.

      Convinced that the system was feasible, Woodland left Philadelphia and moved to Florida to his father's apartment to continue working. His next inspiration came unexpectedly from Morse code - he formed his first bar code from the sand on the beach. As he himself said, "I only extended the dots and dashes down and made narrow and wide lines out of them." To read the strokes, he adapted soundtrack (soundtrack) technology, namely the optical soundtrack used to record sound in motion pictures. On October 20, 1949, Woodland and Silver applied for an invention. As a result, they received US patent No. 2,612,994, issued October 7, 1952.

      In 1951, Woodland and Silver tried to get IBM interested in developing their system. The company, recognizing the feasibility and attractiveness of the idea, refused to implement it. IBM considered that the processing of the resulting information would require sophisticated equipment, and that it could develop it if there was free time in the future.

      In 1952, Woodland and Silver sold the patent to the Philco Company (Philco - henceforth known as the Helios Electric Company). In the same year, Philco resold the patent to RCA. .

      So, Woodland and Silver gave the world a bar code, thereby making it easier for sellers in stores.

      2.1. How to check the authenticity of a barcode?

      There are two types of bar codes: linear and two-dimensional.

      Linear symbols allow you to encode a small amount of information (up to 20 - 30 characters, usually numbers) (see Appendix 1).

      Two-dimensional symbologies were developed to encode a large amount of information. The decoding of such a code is carried out in two dimensions (horizontally and vertically).

      Currently, a lot of two-dimensional barcodes have been developed that are used with one or another breadth of distribution (see Appendix, table No. 1). Here are some codes: Aztec Code, Data Matrix, MaxiCode, PDF417, Microsoft Tag.

      Familiarize yourself with the sections of the bar code: the first two to three digits before the white separating line indicate the country code; the next few digits up to the long double separator line encode the manufacturer of the product; the first digit after the second long dividing line (the eighth digit) is the name of the product; the next (ninth) - consumer properties of the goods; the tenth digit indicates the size, weight; the eleventh indicates the ingredients; twelfth - color; thirteenth - check digit; the last long line is a sign of a product manufactured under a license (see Appendix 1).

      To authenticate the barcode, perform the following operations:

      1. Add up all the numbers in even places.
      2. Multiply the resulting amount by 3. The result (let's call it X) must be remembered.
      3. Add up all odd-numbered digits (no check digit).
      4. Add X to this amount.
      5. From the amount received (let's call it YZ), leave only Z.
      6. Subtract the resulting Z from 10.
      7. If the result corresponds to the check digit in the barcode, then this is not a fake. However, it is worth remembering that the presence of a country code on the product packaging may not be an indicator of the origin of the product from this particular country.

      CHAPTER 2. FOOD ADDITIVES

      Nutritional supplements - Substances not normally used as food or as typical food ingredients (regardless of their nutritional value). These substances for technological purposes are added tofood productsduring production, packaging, transportation or storage to give them the desired properties, for example, a certainflavor (flavors), colors (dyes), storage duration (preservatives), taste, consistency.

      The first thing to find out is how and on what grounds nutritional supplements are classified.

      1. Classification of food additives

      To classify dietary supplements in countriesEuropean Uniondeveloped a numbering system that operates with1953. Each supplement has a unique number starting with the letter "E". Index "E" was introduced at the time for convenience: after all, for eachfood additivethere is a long and incomprehensible chemical name that does not fit on a small label. And, for example, the E115 code looks the same in all languages, does not take up much space in the listing of the product composition.

      So, get acquainted:

      2.2. Harmful food additives

      Certain concentrations of some food additives are harmful to health, which is not denied by any manufacturer. There are periodic reports in the media that supplements cause "cancer", allergies or indigestion, and other unpleasant consequences. But you need to understand that the effect of any chemical substance on the human body depends both on the individual characteristics of the organism and on the amount of the substance. For each supplement, as a rule, an acceptable daily intake (the so-called ADI) is determined, the excess of which leads to negative consequences. For some substances used as food additives, this dose is several milligrams per kilogram of body (for example, E250 -sodium nitrite), for others (for example, E951 -aspartame or E330- lemon acid) - tenths of a gram per kg of body.

      It must be remembered that some substances have the propertycumulative, that is, the ability to accumulate in the body. Control over compliance with the content of food additives in the final product, of course, lies with the manufacturer. For example, E250 (sodium nitrite) is commonly used in sausages, although sodium nitrite is generally poisonoustoxicsubstance, including for mammals (50 percent of rats die at a dose of 180 milligrams per kilogram of weight). But in practice, it is not prohibited, since this is the “lesser evil” that ensures the presentation of the product and, consequently, the volume of sales (suffice it to compareRed colorshop sausage with darkbrownhomemade sausage). For smoked sausages of high grades, the nitrite content norm is set higher than for boiled sausages - it is believed that they are eaten in smaller quantities.

      Some supplements can be considered quite safe (lactic acid, sucrose). However, it should be understood that thesynthesisof certain additives in different countries is different, so their danger can vary greatly. Over time, as it developsanalytical methodsand the emergence of newtoxicologicaldata, government regulations for the content of impurities in food additives may be revised.

      Some of the additives previously considered harmless (for example, formaldehydeE240in chocolate bars orE121in sparkling water) were later deemed too dangerous and banned. In addition, additives that are harmless for one person can have a strong harmful effect on another. Therefore, doctors recommend, if possible, to protect children, the elderly and allergy sufferers from nutritional supplements.

      So, remember food additives prohibited for use in Russia:

      CHAPTER 3. PACKAGING

      Package is a very important part of the product. It is used to ensure the safety of the product. The main functions of packaging:softening (shock-absorbing); designed to preserve the properties of objects after their manufacture, as well as to make them compact for conveniencetransportation; in most cases is one of the carriersadvertisinggoods. remember, thatpackaging design is one of the necessary conditions for the successful sale of almost any product, as well asnecessarily bears information about the content and may have elements of tamper-evident control.

      3.1. The history of packaging

      The first types of packaging were made from raw materials: cane, clay, vegetable and animal fibers. This is typical for ancient times . So around 6000 BC. e. in ancient Egypt, the production of clay pots was established. Then, around 5000 BC. e. the peoples of the countries of future Europe developed a method for heating clay to a "ceramic" state.

      The first glass products appeared in Babylon in 2500 BC. e., and already in 1500 BC. e. The Egyptians learned how to blow utensils and various vessels out of glass. Ancient Egypt was followed by Ancient Greece and Syria.

      Wooden barrels were next to appear, the first of which date back to 500 BC. e. and were found on the territory of Gaul (modern Northern Italy, France and Belgium). 105 CE e. paper appeared in China.

      Middle Ages also distinguished by packaging. The XI century dates back to the appearance of the first paper packaging in Egypt. It was also in the Middle Ages that the craft of cooperage in Northern Europe developed. New technologies and "secrets" have appeared. For example, oak was used to store wet products in the manufacture of barrels, and pine was used to store dry products.

      In 1375, one of the first standards in the packaging industry was adopted: according to the decision of the Hanseatic League, the volume of a barrel with herring or oil was to be 117.36 liters.

      new time dictated its rights, and new packaging materials appeared. The history of Russian glassmaking begins in the 17th century. To fulfill the orders of the Pharmaceutical Order, the Swede Julius Koyet opens the first factory for the production of flasks, retorts, sules, stops and vials.

      During the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century, sacks made of textiles, cotton or jute became widespread.

      The turning point in the development of the packaging industry is the invention of a paper machine (1798, France), and then a machine for making paper in rolls (1807, England).

      Thanks to the invention of lithography at the end of the 18th century in Germany, it became possible for the first time to apply color drawings. The first paper label printed by lithography appears in 1820. Until that time, labels were signed by hand. Around the same period, the first tin can appears.

      So, the XIX century is marked by a number of inventions:

      In 1827, the Frenchman Bareta invents wax paper - cheap wrapping paper coated on one side with drying oil;

      In 1844, the German Heinrich Welter develops a technology for producing cellulose from wood pulp;

      In 1850, the first two-layer candy wrapper appeared: an inner layer of foil, an outer one of paper;

      In 1852-1853. the British invent glassine - waterproof wrapping paper;

      Corrugated paper was patented in 1856 in Great Britain;

      In 1872, screw caps for jars and bottles were invented.

      And at the beginning of the 20th century, a number of such striking discoveries took place, such as: in 1907, the German scientist Frederick Kipping discovers silicone; in 1908 Aldemar Bates invents a paper bag with flaps and in 1911 a Swiss chemist invents wood-based cellophane.

      It is worth noting that at the turn of the century there was a serious breakthrough in the automation of packaging production:

      1. In the 50-60s. in the USA there is a machine for making paper bags;
      2. In 1879, Robert Geir first combined the printing process with the box-making process;
      3. In 1880, fully automated canning equipment appears, including the stage of sealing the lids;
      4. In the 90s. packaging engineering develops;
      5. In 1903, Michael J. Owens patented a machine for blowing glass bottles.

      After the Second World War, the forced development of new materials began, primarily polymers. Mastered industrial production:polystyrene(thermal polymerization method);polyethylene, including high and low pressure (LDPE and HDPE);PVC(PVC); polyethylene terephthalate(PAT).

      In the 1940s bags with handles and multi-coloured advertising are becoming widespread, thanks in part to the proliferation of supermarkets.

      1952 marks a real revolution in the dairy packaging industry. Tetra-Pak packaging appears - "triangular" bags made of laminated paper.Tetra Classicis a tetrahedron-shaped carton for milk storage, created in 1950 by Tetra Pak. Since 1959, it has been supplied and widely used in the USSR, where these packages were usually called “pyramids”, “triangles”, “packages” (for example, milk in packages, a package of milk) or “triangular packages”, as well as the often used among the people “frog ".

      AT 1958 appears aluminumbeer can, made without seams on the bottom and walls. In 1963, the lid is supplied with an aluminum ring. In the 1960s filter bags for tea and self-adhesive tape for wrapping boxes appear. In the 1970s. comes to the packaging marketthermoresistant paper. It performs the function of stabilizing packs of products on pallets. At the same time appearself-adhesivelabels and firstPAT- bottles.

      3.2. Packaging materials

      Various materials have been used for the manufacture of packaging at different times: from clay pots to plastic bags. Now the most popular plastic, cellophane, polyethylene, paper. Packages made from these materials differ in terms of environmental friendliness and product protection efficiency.

      3.2.1. Cellophane

      Cellophane (from cellulose and Greek"favos" - light) - transparent fat - moisture resistant film material obtained fromviscose. Sometimes cellophane is incorrectly calledpolyethyleneproducts (bags, bags). These are different materials with completely different properties.

      So, "...cellophane was inventedJacques Edwin Brandenberger, a Swiss textile engineer, between and 1911 years. He intended to create a waterproof coating fortableclothssaving them from stains. During the experiments, he covered the fabric with liquidviscose, however the resulting material was too stiff to be used as a tablecloth. However, the coating separated well from the fabric base, and Brandenberger realized that there was another use for it. He designed a machine that produced sheets of viscose. AT1913 in Francebegan the industrial production of cellophane. After some improvements, cellophane became the world's first relatively water-resistant flexiblepackaging. After the development of new types of polymeric materials in the 1950s, the role of cellophane decreased significantly - it was almost completely replacedpolyethylene, polypropylene and lavsan.

      Outwardly, cellophane and lavsan materials in the form of films are quite similar - they are very transparent, colorless, quite hard - they “crunch” when crushed. At present, the bulk of the transparent film packaging material islavsan and polyethylene, and just not most of- other polymeric materials, including cellophane. It is easy to distinguish them - with equal thicknesslavsanThe film is much stronger than cellophane. In addition, cellophane is plasticizedglycerin, why does it have a sweetish taste whentaste- in contrast to the completely insoluble and more inert lavsan and polyethylene.

      Polyethylene films, unlike cellophane and lavsan films, are less transparent (the thicker the film, the more cloudy it looks to the light), do not crunch when crushed, and are much more plastic (they do not restore their original shape when stretched).

      Cellophane films are very tear-resistant. However (unlike lavsan and polyethylene), having started to tear from the edge, they are further torn almost effortlessly (the effect of an unzipping zipper). This property reduces the scope of cellophane as a packaging material. .

      Cellophane is used as a packaging material in the form of an outer transparent film (for example, on boxes with tape cassettes, CDs and DVDs, packs of cigarettes), as well as for packaging food, confectionery products, for making casings for sausages and cheeses, and meat and dairy products. At the same time, BOP films made from polypropylene and visually having similar properties are mainly used in this area today.

      Cellophane products in the natural environment break down, decompose much faster than products made frompolyethylene and lavsan, therefore, do not threaten the environment, unlike garbage from packaging material made of polyethylene and lavsan.

      3.2.2. Paper

      Paper - material in the form of sheets for writing, drawing, packaging, obtained fromcellulose: from plants, as well as from recyclables (rags and waste paper). Beginning with 1803, are used in paper productionpaper machines.

      Chinese chronicles report that paper was invented in105 AD e.Tsai Lunem. However, in 1957in the Baoqia cave in northern ChinaShanxia tomb was discovered where scraps of sheets of paper were found. The paper was examined and established that it was made in the 2nd century BC. Before Cai Lun, paper in China was made fromhemp, and even earlier from silks, which was made from defectivecocoonssilkworm. Cai Lun fiber millingmulberries, arboreal ash, rags and hemp. He mixed all this with water and laid out the resulting mass on a mold (wooden frame and bamboo sieve). After drying in the sun, he smoothed this mass with the help of stones. The result is strong sheets of paper. After Cai Lun's invention, the papermaking process improved rapidly. They began to add starch, glue, natural dyes to increase strength.

      At the beginning 7th centurypaper making method becomes known inKorea and Japan. And after another 150 years, through prisoners of war, he gets toArabs. In the 6th - 8th centuries, paper production was carried out inCentral Asia, Korea, Japanand other countriesAsia. In the 11th-12th centuries, paper appeared in Europe, where it soon replaced animal parchment. Since the XV - XVI centuries, in connection with the introduction of printing, paper production has been growing rapidly. Paper was made in a very primitive way - by hand grinding the mass with wooden hammers in a mortar and scooping it out in forms with a mesh bottom.

      Of great importance for the development of paper production was the invention in the second half of the 17th century of a grinding apparatus - a roll. At the end of the 18th century, rolls already made it possible to produce a large amount of paper pulp, but manual ebb (scooping) of paper delayed the growth of production. In 1799, N. L. Robert (France) invented the paper machine, mechanizing the ebb of paper by using an infinitely moving grid. In England, the Fourdrinier brothers, having bought Robert's patent, continued to work on the mechanization of the ebb and in 1806 patented a paper machine. By the middle of the 19th century, the paper machine had become a complex machine that operated continuously and largely automatically. In the 20th century, paper production becomes a large highly mechanized industry with a continuous-flow technological scheme, powerful thermal power plants and complex chemical shops for the production of fibrous semi-finished products.

      So, the chronology of paper packaging is as follows:

      1. G. - the invention of papercottonTsai Lunem in China.
      2. G. - penetration of paper intoKorea.
      3. G. - penetration of paper intoJapan.
      4. G. - Talas battle- paper penetrationWest.
      5. g. - paper mill in Spain.
      6. Approximately Mr. - English papermanufacturerJ. Whatman - the elder introduced a new paper form, which made it possible to receivesheetspaper without grid traces.
      7. G. - patent for an invention paper machine (Louis - Nicolas Robert a).
      8. G. - installation of the paper machine inGreat Britain (Brian Donkin).
      9. G. - patent for an invention carbon paper.
      10. G. - the first paper machines in Russia (Peterhof paper factory).
      11. G. - paper machinesUSA.
      12. g. - invention corrugated cardboard.
      13. G. - technologyreceiving paper fromwood.
      1. Polyethylene

      Plastic bag- a bag used to carry things, made ofpolyethylene. The conventional packaging bag was first produced inUSA in 1957and was intended for packaging sandwiches, bread, vegetables and fruits. To1966about 30% of bakery products produced in this country were packed in such packages. ToThe volume of bag production in Western Europe amounted to 11.5 million pieces. ATIn the largest shopping centers, plastic bags with a handle (the so-called "T-shirts") appear on sale. Tothe total global production of plastic bags was estimated in the range from 4 to 5 trillion. pieces per year.

      There are several types of packages. Transparent packaging bag, made of low or high density polyethylene, or a mixture of the first and second. Performs a protective function (protects the product from moisture and contamination). The leaders in the production of the thinnest bags of this type are the countries of Southeast Asia, China and Russia: they produce bags with a thickness of only 4.5-5 microns.

      T-shirt bags are predominantly made of low-density polyethylene ("rustling") or, sometimes, high density ("smooth"). They got their name for the characteristic structure of the handles. Although bags of this type are the latest to enter the market, they have firmly established their position in supermarkets and retail outlets.

      Bags with cut and loop handle. The production of bags of this type is considered the most difficult. For the manufacture of high density polyethylene, linear low density polyethylene, medium density polyethylene and laminates are used. Package handles have several modifications. Cutting handles are reinforced (welded, glued) and unreinforced.

      Garbage bags (bags) are made from low or high density polyethylene, or from a mixture of them with the addition of dyes. They are also available with handles (similar to the package - T-shirts) or with tapes for tightening.

      The cheapness of the bags and the ease of their circulation means that many bags are only used for a very short time. For example, purchases in the store are packed in bags, brought home, then the bags are thrown away. Four trillion bags per year are used inworld. They kill 1 million.birds, 100 000 marine mammalsand innumerable shoalsfish. 6 million 300 thousand tonsgarbage, most of which isplastic, is reset annually toWorld Ocean.

      In the environment, discarded bags are stored for a long time and are not biodegradable. Thus, they form a persistent pollution. Therefore, the circulation of plastic bags raises serious objections from environmentalists. For this reason, the use of plastic bags as household packaging is restricted or prohibited in a number of countries. In particular, in on Kangaroo Island in Australia The authorities introduced a ban on plastic bags.

      Germany: consumers pay for the disposal of the bags, and for the collection and recyclingprocessingresponsible sellers and distributors.

      Ireland: after increasing the price of packages, the number of packages used was reduced by 94%. Now they use "reusable" fabric bags.

      USA: AT San Franciscolarge supermarkets and chain pharmacies do not use plastic bags.

      China: it is forbidden to produce, sell and use plastic bags with a film thickness of less than 0.025 mm.

      Tanzania: fine for manufacturing, importing or selling plastic bags - $2,000 or a year in prison. Import of plastic bagsZanzibar prohibited.

      England: The Marks and Spencer chain of stores has stopped giving out free packages.Moneyfrom the sale of packages, the company transfers to the creation of new city parks and gardens. In 2004 inEnglandbiodegradable bread bags. The decomposition period of the new material is 4 years, and it decomposes into carbon dioxide and water.

      Latvia: introduced a tax on plastic bags used insupermarketsto reduce their use.

      Finland: supermarkets are equipped with machines for receiving used bags, which serve as raw materials forprocessingand production of new plastics.

      So, there is a single eco-label for the packaging material and the product itself. It allows you to meet the requirements of environmental standards (non-pollution of the environment during production and disposal, no content of harmful substances).

      CHAPTER 4. RESEARCH RESULTS

      After serious work on the project, I wanted to find out how the students of the gymnasium relate to this problem. I conducted a small sociological survey. It was attended by 100 students. Among the respondents were students in grades 9-11. Judging by the answers, I think that the guys answered sincerely.

      There were four questions. The content of the questions is as follows:

      1. What is the first thing you pay attention to when choosing a purchase?
      2. What is more important to you: taste, price or the benefits of food and drinks?
      3. When buying a product, do you pay attention to the barcode?
      4. What do you think nutritional supplements: good or bad?

      The results of the survey showed that many pay attention to appearance goods, and not on its quality and how fresh the product they buy. Others believe that well-known trade brands should be trusted, hence the best quality product. But we all know that this is not so. Therefore, after getting acquainted with my research work, I suggest that you change some of your habits for choosing goods in retail chains.

      After analyzing the results of the questionnaires, I made some diagrams. They can be studied in detail in Appendix 2 of the project.

      So, many schoolchildren do not know how to choose the right and “right” product. But if you want to, it's easy to learn. These skills can help a lot in life. And remember, our health is in our own hands.

      CONCLUSION

      As a result of the work carried out, the following conclusions were drawn:

      1. The easiest way to check the authenticity of the product is by barcode.
      2. Food additives are used by the manufacturer of goods to improve the appearance, taste, and extend the shelf life. Using additives in the process of food preparation, the manufacturer does not think about what diseases this or that additive can cause in the consumer. Nobody will take care of you except yourself.
      3. Not all packages decompose over time. Better to use paper bags.

      So, the most important thing that I would like to note after doing the simplest research. Environmentally literate consumers are not born. But every person who protects nature and their own health must become such a consumer.

      Introduction
      “A fairy tale is a lie, but there is a hint in it, a lesson for good fellows!”
      Although fairy tales seem like entertainment, they have a deep educational meaning. Fairy tales arose as oral folk art long before the emergence of various sciences. But already in those distant times for us, people spiritualized nature and worshiped its greatness, realizing that their life directly depends on Mother Nature. And even if a person often endowed Nature with supernatural power, this only further emphasized their interdependence.
      Nowadays, it is very important to explain environmental problems to a child in a language that is accessible to him. And fairy tales can help in this, where the characters do not violate environmental laws and Nature treats man the way Man himself treats nature.

      Main part

      Research "Ecological meaning in Russian folk tales"


      The world of Russian folk tales is peculiar and mysterious. In it you can meet not only people, but also animals, and often friendship between them.
      Fairy tale "Geese-swans"
      Recall the fairy tale "Geese-swans". The sister goes to look for her brother, who was carried away by swan geese. He meets Yablonka on his way and asks her for help. And what does Yablonka say to her?

      And here's what:
      - Eat my forest apple - I will say.
      It is hard for a tree, there are many fruits on it.
      What is the girl's answer?
      - At my father's, gardening is not eaten either.
      The girl did not help Yablonka - and Yablonka did not help her.
      It was the same with the River and the Stove.
      But on the way back, when the girl and her brother were running away from
      swan geese, and the Stove, and the River, Yablonka helped her. And all why? Yes, because the girl also helped them: she drank jelly, and ate a pie, and tasted a forest apple.
      A typical picture of mutual aid!


      Fairy tale "The Frog Princess"
      Let's remember another fairy tale, where mutual assistance between man and animals is also clearly traced - "The Frog Princess".
      Ivan Tsarevich went in search of his bride. He met the Bear - spared, did nothing wrong to the beast.
      I met a Hare and a Duck - spared.
      Saved Pike from certain death on the seashore.
      And how did the animals repay Ivan? They helped to get a needle in which Koshchei's death was. Further in the text of the tale, it becomes clear that in nature there is nothing superfluous, that every animal, from a bear to a hare, has some benefit.
      Fairy tale "Ivan Tsarevich and the Gray Wolf"
      But in the fairy tale “Ivan Tsarevich and the Gray Wolf”, the situation turned out like this: the wolf ate the Tsarevich’s horse ... ... and then, in order to make amends for his guilt, he himself carried Ivan through the forests and mountains.


      Fairy tale "Turnip"
      But the fairy tale "Turnip" indicates to us that sometimes it is necessary for both animals and people to stand on the same side, to unite in order to achieve a common goal. Based on this tale, one can see that, just like now, in our time, all living beings need to stand on one side in order to save our Earth! If we fantasize a little when discussing the fairy tale "Turnip": instead of a turnip, we will have the whole globe. Our planet is Earth! And the inhabitants of the house on the plot will act as inhabitants of the entire planet. This is the picture that turns out: the inhabitants of the planet see that it is in danger and something needs to be done.
      He was the first to notice this one person (grandfather) and realized that he himself could not cope, he needed help. The whole of humanity (grandfather, grandmother, granddaughter) of the planet has joined forces to save the Earth! They can't save! And, now, when all living beings (grandfather, grandmother, granddaughter, bug, cat, mouse) united - they saved the Earth (turnip)!
      Conclusion
      After conducting a study of several Russian folk tales, we can conclude that folk tales not only teach the norms of human behavior, but are also based on observations of nature and contain a deep ecological meaning. They teach us to love nature, to take care of our smaller brothers.

      A fairy tale is a wonderful piggy bank,
      What you accumulate, you will take
      And without a fairy tale in this life -
      You will surely disappear.
