Environmental project “Good Mood Corner”
Ecological project
"Good Mood Corner"
Updating the problem.
In our difficult life, we so often lack a good mood. Based on the children’s survey, as well as mini-essays on the topic “Beautiful Injustice”, written under the motto “What shocked me most,” together with the children we decided to create a living corner. After all, our children are kind, sensitive, dreaming of being useful, caring for someone, striving to participate in new activities where they show themselves well.
Objectives of the study

- Develop cognitive activity, intellectual and creative abilities, initiative, independence;
- Develop an emotional and aesthetic attitude towards nature and image objects;
- Develop communication skills (work in a creative group);
Research objectives
- Study the living conditions of plants and animals indoors;
- Investigate the environmental factors of the premises;
- Identify the most popular plants and pets in school gardening;
- Identify the centers of origin of popular indoor plants;
- Study the rules and methods of placing plants and animals indoors.
Research methods
- Collecting information on indoor plants and animals from various sources: fiction, scientific and popular science literature, studying the results of activities.

III. Summarizing
Conclusions of zoologists
- The most common representatives of the living corner: among birds - the budgie, among rodents - guinea pig, hamster, among reptiles - turtle;
- We studied the species composition of each group, origin, living conditions, and maintenance features of the inhabitants of the living area;
- Monitored the correct maintenance of the inhabitants of the living area in a school environment in accordance with generally accepted standards.
Conclusions of phytodesigners
- You can transform the room in which you work or relax into an oasis, where beauty and comfort reign, where the harmony of nature and man reigns, if you correctly place individual plants or entire compositions.
- Basic rules of phytodesign: color harmony, correct selection of dishes, reliability of fastenings of flower beds and flowerpots; in large rooms, free-standing plants or compositions of tall plants are used; for small rooms, vertical compositions of small plants are preferred.
Geographers' conclusions
- Most indoor plants come from tropical, subtropical and desert regions.
- When growing indoor plants, it is necessary to take into account the biological characteristics formed under the influence of the natural and climatic conditions of their places of origin.
- Conclusions of ecologists
- The living conditions for plants in the biology classroom of MBOU “Secondary School No. 12” are favorable, since the complex of abiotic environmental factors (illumination, humidity, temperature) meets the standards.
- We recommend using more medicinal plants in landscaping (aloe, kalanchoe, basil) and “living conditioner” - chlorophytum crested
Conclusions of statisticians
- In indoor landscaping, plants belonging to five groups are used: decorative deciduous, beautifully flowering, ampelous, climbing, and bulbous.
- The most popular plants in MBOU "Secondary School No. 12" are: chlorophytum, nephrolepis, begonias, syngonium, hibiscus, monstera, aspidistra, sansevieria.
- In schools, it is best to grow simple, undemanding plants that bloom easily and abundantly, reproduce easily, and can be cared for by children.
Project progress report. Project protection.
Conclusions on the project
- When placing indoor plants, it is necessary to comply with the plants' requirements for lighting, temperature and humidity conditions, and also take into account biological characteristics formed under the influence of natural and climatic conditions.
- The complex of environmental factors in a living area is favorable for the existence of many indoor plants.
- The most popular in landscaping are chlorophytum crested, ferns, begonias, syngonium, and Chinese hibiscus. Children are engaged in business with interest after school. in a living corner.
- The appearance of smiles on the faces of people visiting the living area.
How to make a corner of privacy with your own hands
The Federal State Educational Standards standards impose certain requirements on the corner of solitude:
Note! In the corner of privacy, you can make a window that allows you to periodically observe the child to make sure he is safe and well. However, it should not violate the baby’s personal space.
Ideas for decorating a corner
When creating the design of a corner of solitude, the teacher should focus on the age of his charges. For the younger group of preschool educational institutions, it is relevant to design a space with a low, narrow entrance. The child will feel comfortable and safe in such an environment.
For other age groups, larger spaces such as a tent or house are suitable, the entrance to which can be curtained with a piece of fabric or covered with a screen. Instead of toys, in such an area you can place items exclusively for educational games or other activities:
Soft toys will come in handy
There can be several options for creating frames for tents:
