In the 2019-2020 academic year, the international game competition “Man and Nature” is postponed from April to the end of October. The CHIP competition will be held October 23, 2019 on topic "Australia". The content of the competition expands the knowledge of schoolchildren about the flora and fauna of Australia, the history of the continent, the indigenous population, its customs and traditions, the economy of modern Australia, and interesting historical facts.
The competition is dedicated to Australia due to the fact that in 2015 we began traveling with our mascot the fox Chip across the continents of the globe. Two years were devoted to Eurasia: in 2015, CHIP “visited” Europe, in 2016 – to Asia. For the next two years, the journey continued across America: in 2017 - North, in 2018 - South. In April 2019, Chip visited the no less interesting and original continent of Africa.
The competition is held directly at the educational institution for five age categories of students: 2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8 and 9-11 grades. Students in grades 2 are asked to answer 20 questions in 40 minutes, and students in grades 3-11 are asked to answer 30 questions in 45 minutes.1st grade students can also take part in the competition based on assignments for 2nd grade students.
To participate in the competition, the school organizer, appointed by the administration of the educational institution, submits an application to the Regional Organizing Committee.
Participation in the competition is voluntary. The registration fee is 75* rubles from each participant ( Orphans and children left without parental care are exempt from the contribution).
On the day of the competition, each participant receives an assignment form, an answer form and a small souvenir with the symbols of the competition, and after summing up the results - a participant certificate. The educational institution and the school organizer receive certificates, and active teachers receive gratitude.
The results of the competition are summed up in December, and the results are sent to the educational institution by e-mail in the form of a module that allows you to print a summary report with the results of the participants, fill out certificates of participants and diplomas for school winners. The summary report for each participant indicates correct and incorrect answers, the number of points scored, and places by school, district, and region. For 2nd grade students, only their places among the participants in their school are determined.
School winners are awarded diplomas and prizes with the symbols of the competition. The regional organizing committee rewards participants who have shown good results in the region. Russian winners are awarded diplomas and prizes from the Central Organizing Committee.
1st grade students from October 23 to November 14, 2019, on any convenient day for school, can participate in the “CHIP” competition for children 5-7 years old on the topic “Tales of Friendship.”
Materials from previous competitions and regulatory documentation can be found in detail on the website of the Central Organizing Committee: www.konkurs-chip.ru

Answers and comments to assignments for grades 1-2
Tasks worth 3 points 1. 2011 has been declared the Year of Russian Cosmonautics. On April 12, 1961, a flight into space was carried out: A) The picture shows the world's first artificial Earth satellite, launched in the USSR on October 4, 1957. Artificial Earth satellites are spacecraft that move around the Earth, they are used for scientific research, as well as for solving practical problems: organizing communications; weather forecasting; drawing up maps; searching for minerals, etc. B) The dog Laika was the first animal to fly into space aboard Sputnik 2, which was launched by the USSR and entered low-Earth orbit on November 3, 1957. Then other animals visited space, among them: turtles, mice, rats, cats, monkeys, snails, insects, and various microorganisms. IN) On April 12, 1961, the Vostok spacecraft launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin, the first person to fly into outer space. In 108 minutes, the world's first cosmonaut flew around the globe in a spacecraft. Starting from April 12, 1962, the day of Gagarin's flight into space was declared a holiday - Cosmonautics Day. D) Valentina Vladimirovna Tereshkova, cosmonaut pilot, was the first woman to fly into space on the Vostok-6 spacecraft on June 16-19, 1963. The flight lasted almost three days, her ship circled the Earth 48 times. D) The Mir manned orbital station, shown in the figure, operated in Earth orbit from February 20, 1986 to March 23, 2001. During this time, international research programs were conducted at the station, in which astronauts from the USA, France, Germany, Japan, Afghanistan, Bulgaria and other countries took part.2. Today, on the day of the CHIP competition, it’s spring in Russia, and in Australia: A) spring; B) summer;B) autumn; D) winter; D) it’s always summer. The change of seasons occurs due to the Earth's revolution around the Sun and the tilt of the Earth's axis. The axis does not change its position as the Earth moves, so during the year different parts of the earth's surface receive unequal amounts of light and heat, which means they will have different seasons. In the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, the seasons are opposite: if we have spring in the Northern Hemisphere, then in Australia it is autumn.3. Which of these colors is not included in the rainbow? A) orange; B) purple; B) yellow;D) white; D) red. R
An arc occurs when sunlight is refracted by water droplets floating in the air. These droplets bend light of different colors in different ways, causing the white light of the sun to decompose into a multi-colored band - a spectrum. It seems to the observer that a multi-colored glow is emanating from space in concentric circles (arcs) (in this case, the source of bright light is always behind the observer). If an observer looks at a rainbow from rain or fog, he sees only part of the rainbow - a multi-colored arc emerging from the surface of the earth. If he looks at the rainbow from the fountain, he sees the full circle of the rainbow. Although the multicolor spectrum of the rainbow is continuous, at different times and in different countries different numbers of colors were identified in it. In Russia it is generally accepted that there are seven colors. There are special mnemonic rules for remembering colors and their sequence. The most common in our country is that Every Hunter Wants to Know Where the Pheasant Sits, which corresponds to the Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Light Blue, Blue and Violet colors.4. This planet is called the "morning star": A) Venus;
B) Earth; B) Moon; D) Mars; D) Mercury. Venus is the closest planet to Earth; we are separated by only 42 million kilometers. The air shell of Venus reflects the sun's rays, and the planet shines dazzlingly. An observer on Earth can see it at dawn or evening, either to the left or to the right of the Sun for several months of the year. In ancient times, people thought that these were two different celestial bodies and called them either the morning or the evening star. Since ancient times, the Earth was called the firmament, the Sun - the daylight, and the Moon - the night luminary. Mars can be seen from Earth with the naked eye and is called the “red planet” due to the reddish hue of its surface. Mars is inferior in brightness to Venus, but sometimes (once every 15-17 years for one week) it is the brightest object for an earthly observer. Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun, so it moves very quickly, and not everyone can discern it in the night sky.5. “Portrait of Verochka Mamontova” by V. Serov has a second title associated with the fruit lying in front of her on the table: “Girl with...”. Name these fruits. A) apples;B)
peaches;
B) pears; G)
quince; D) apricots. Another, more common name for the painting by Valentin Serov is “Girl with Peaches”, it was painted in 1887 and is kept in the State Tretyakov Gallery. The painting was created in the estate of Savva Ivanovich Mamontov Abramtsevo. The portrait depicts twelve-year-old Verochka Mamontova. The girl is drawn sitting at a table; she is wearing a pink blouse with a dark blue bow; there is a knife and peaches on the table. Peach (Persica - from Latin Persian), a species of fruit tree in the Rosaceae family, belonging to the same genus as plum, cherry and apricot. The peach fruit is a juicy large drupe with thin but fluffy skin, yellow, reddish or white flesh. TO 
The skin of apples and pears is usually smooth, its color is very varied. There are yellow, green, and red fruits; often several colors can be seen on one apple or pear. Their sizes, depending on the variety, can be the size of a pea or reach 15 cm in diameter. In quince, the fruit is similar to an apple, almost spherical or pear-shaped, often ribbed, lemon or dark yellow in color. 
apricot fruits are drupes, velvety, ovoid, with a longitudinal groove, yellow or orange, often reddish on one side. Dried apricots are called dried apricots.6. Regular sunbathing is necessary and beneficial for everyone A) to maintain the required level of vitamin C in the body;B) to maintain the required level of vitamin D in the body
;
B) because it is beautiful to be tanned;D) to maintain posture;D) to strengthen muscles and increase the body's performance. The human body needs not only nutrients, but also vitamins. Vitamins (from lat. vita- life) - substances that help the body function normally and be resistant to diseases. Vitamins are called in capital Latin letters with numerical indices, for example, vitamins A, B12, C, D. The daily need for vitamins is small, but if there is insufficient intake of vitamins in the body, a person begins to get sick. Each vitamin helps the body in different ways. For example, vitamin D regulates the absorption of calcium and phosphorus, which are responsible for strengthening muscles, bones and teeth. It activates the body's defenses to fight colds, diabetes, eye and skin diseases, and accelerates the healing of fractures. Most vitamins are not produced in the human body. Therefore, they must be regularly and in sufficient quantities supplied to the body with food or in the form of special vitamin and mineral supplements. Vitamin C is found in many vegetables and fruits, for example, cabbage, onions, currants, rose hips, and lemon. Vitamin D is present in butter, cheese, egg yolk, fish oil, and mushrooms. But most importantly, vitamin D is formed in human skin under the influence of ultraviolet rays from sunlight. To maintain the required level of vitamin D in the body, it is enough to stay in the sun for at least half an hour a day.7. Which flower tells about itself in the poem “Child of the Sun” with these words: When it blooms and I look at the sun merrily with my golden eye, and in the evening I simply close my eyes - I don’t want to know what will happen next.

C 
branches of a sunflower (sunflower) are called a sunny flower, it itself looks like the sun and has an interesting property - it turns during the day behind the sun. After flowering, fruits - seeds - form in the basket. Pansy (viola) is a flower that has a huge number of colors and color combinations. In the center of the flower there is often a spot of original shape and color. Some flowers really look like a “golden eye”, but the fruit after flowering is a capsule that cracks with three wings, from which the seeds scatter. P 
Snowdrops are primroses; they appear literally from under the snow. One has only to warm up the sun in early spring and delicate white flowers appear in thawed patches. In England, a snowdrop is called a snow drop or a snow earring, in Germany - a snow bell, in the Czech Republic - a snowflake.M 
Argarite got its name from the word “margarites”, which means “pearl” in Latin. Depending on the variety, the flowers come in different sizes, the color of the inflorescences ranges from white and soft pink to dark red and cherry, most often with a brightly prominent center. In sunlight, daisy baskets open wide, but at night and when it rains they close. ABOUT 
dandelion- one of the most common and most unpretentious plants in the world. It grows mainly in meadows, gardens, along roads, in vegetable gardens, and on forest edges from early spring to late autumn. Every morning, at 5-6 o'clock, the dandelion inflorescences unfold, and at 3-4 o'clock in the afternoon they close. In cloudy weather, the baskets also close, protecting the pollen from moisture. After flowering, parachute seeds are formed: when finally ripe, they are easily torn from the basket by a light breeze and carried away to considerable distances (up to hundreds of meters) from the plant. Assignments worth 4 points 8. The first to go into outer space: A) Yuri Gagarin; B) German Titov; B) Alan Shepard;D) Alexey Leonov;
D) Neil Armstrong. A) Yuri Alekseevich Gagarin (1934 - 1968), pilot-cosmonaut of the USSR, Hero of the Soviet Union - the first person to fly into space. On April 12, 1961, he launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome on the Vostok spacecraft. ,
made one orbit around the Earth and successfully returned to the surface of the planet on the descent module. B 
) German Stepanovich Titov (1935 - 2000) - pilot-cosmonaut of the USSR, Hero of the Soviet Union, Colonel General, second person to be in space. Double for Yuri Gagarin. In August 1961, German Titov on the Vostok-2 spacecraft made a space flight lasting 1 day 1 hour, making 17 revolutions around the Earth, flying more than 700 thousand kilometers. IN 
) Alan Bartlett Shepard (1923 -1998) - the first American astronaut. On May 5, 1961, the launch vehicle launched the Mercury 3 space capsule with Shepard on board into a ballistic trajectory. The capsule reached an altitude of approximately 186 kilometers and landed in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. In 1971, Alan Shepard completed his second space flight as commander of Apollo 14, which became the third successful American expedition to the Moon. G 
)
Alexey Arkhipovich Leonov(born May 30, 1934)) - pilot-cosmonaut of the USSR, twice Hero of the Soviet Union, major general, the first person to go into outer space. On the Voskhod-2 spacecraft together with Pavel Belyaev in March 1965, he made his first flying into space as a co-pilot. During this flight, Leonov went into outer space for the first time in the history of astronautics. During this exit, several unforeseen situations occurred, for example, in the vacuum of space, the suit swelled much more than predicted. Leonov managed to enter the airlock by changing the pressure in the suit, while he, violating the instructions, climbed into the ship's hatch not with his feet, but with his head first. In 1975, Alexey Leonov participated in the Soyuz-Apollo program as commander of the Soyuz-19 spacecraft. This flight was the first time in the world that ships from two different countries docked. N 
and the drawing is a painting by Alexei Arkhipovich, who was the first artist to paint space from life. He was even reprimanded for the colored pencils he took with him to draw what he saw in space. The first time Leonov’s drawing was published in the October issue of the magazine “Technology for Youth” in 1965, on the color insert, readers saw a cosmic dawn drawn by the astronaut-artist. Today Leonov is the author of about 200 paintings, art albums, and a series of postage stamps with images of cosmic landscapes. D) Neil Alden Armstrong (born August 5, 1930) is an American astronaut. In July 1969, he commanded the Apollo 11 spacecraft on its flight to the Moon. On July 21, he became the first person to set foot on the surface of the Moon. The phrase he uttered at the same time: “A small step for a person, but a giant leap for all mankind,” went down in history. Armstrong and his partner Edwin Aldrin spent two and a half hours on the Moon.9. From an astronomical point of view, the expression “all year round” means that: A) The Moon makes a full revolution around the Sun;B) The Earth makes a full revolution around the Moon;C) The Earth makes a full revolution around the Sun;
D) The Moon makes a full revolution around the Earth;D) The Moon and Earth make a full revolution around the Sun. In a year, the Earth makes one revolution around the Sun. But its path, which astronomers call an orbit, is not an exact circle, but an ellipse. The adjective “round” has several meanings: 1. Having the shape of a circle. 2. Complete, perfect. 3. Whole, whole (about the measure of time). Therefore, the expression “all year round” means that the Earth makes a complete revolution around the sun during the year.1 
0. The most light-loving tree in the forest from those depicted below: Light-loving plants rarely grow in forests. Typically, representatives of this group can be found among the tall trees that form the first tier of the forest. Scotch pine(common) - one of these plants (B). Its crown is raised high above the ground. When there is a lack of lighting, the lower shoots quickly die off, because cannot provide themselves and the entire tree with organic substances. The leaves of such plants produce nutrients only in bright light. Judging by the shape of the crown, tree (A) is a shade-tolerant plant, for example, spruce or fir. Their longest needle-covered branches are located close to the ground. These trees are adapted to the lack of sunlight and, even in conditions of heavy shading in the forest, are able to form nutrients. The trees shown in the figures (B) - oak and (D) - Siberian pine - are not so shade-tolerant. Their lower branches covered with leaves are shorter than in the middle of the crown and the crown itself is raised higher above the ground. Elm (D) has a crown that flares slightly at the top. But at the same time, the branches are distributed throughout the trunk. Thus, compared to wood in figure (B), all other options are more shade-tolerant.11. Preparing for a trip in a hot air balloon, the kids from N. Nosov’s story “Dunno and His Friends” put sandbags in a basket. For what? A) they are comfortable to sit on;B) for gravity, so that the ball does not fly too high;C) to build a house in a new place;D) to lighten the ball if it starts to descend; D) to throw it on the audience's head. Let's read two quotes from Nikolai Nosov's book “The Adventure of Dunno and His Friends”: 1. Syrup, who was afraid to fly in a balloon, was delighted and said: “Well, I said that it would be an overload!” I better get out. He had already raised his leg to get out, but then Znayka took one bag of sand and threw it out of the basket. The ball immediately became lighter and rose up again. Only then did everyone understand why Znayka ordered to put sandbags in the basket.2. The wind quickly drove the ball over the clouds, but soon everyone noticed that the ball began to descend. “Why did we fly down?” - the kids were worried. “The air began to cool down in the ball,” Znayka explained. “So, we will now fall to the ground?” - asked Toropyzhka. “Why did we take sandbags?” - said Znayka. “We need to throw the sand out of the basket, and we’ll fly up again.” String string quickly grabbed the bag of sand and threw it down. 12. The equator crosses this continent almost in the middle: A) Australia;B) Africa; B) Antarctica; D) Eurasia; D) North America.A) Australia is a continent in the Southern Hemisphere, lying south of the equator. B) Africa intersected almost in the middle by the equator, its outskirts extend into subtropical latitudes. The northernmost cape of El Abyad lies at 37°20"N, the southernmost Cape Agulhas lies at 34°52"S. w. Thus, Africa is located in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Length from north to south almost 8000 km. C) Antarctica is a continent in the southern polar region of the Earth, located entirely within the Antarctic Circle; D) Eurasia is the largest continent on Earth. It is located in the Northern Hemisphere, but some of the islands of Eurasia are located in the Southern Hemisphere, which means that the continent is crossed by the equator not in the middle, but on the southern edge. D) North America is a continent located in the north of the Earth's Western Hemisphere or in the west of the Northern Hemisphere, lies north of the equator.13. Non-existent fish: A) saber fish; B) needle fish; B) hammerhead fish;D) bolt fish ; D) sawfish. A
) Saberfish (Trichiunis lepturus )
reaches a length of 2 m, and usually weighs up to 1 kg. The body is elongated, slender, laterally compressed. The color of the skin is shiny, silvery-white, the color of the fins is grayish-yellow. They are most often found in tropical seas, often in the Mediterranean Sea, and further north they are practically not found. They say about the saber fish that it always moves very quickly, sometimes jumps high above the water and accidentally falls into fishing boats. Predatory tendencies are indicated by the strong armament of its mouth, and it can be assumed that it is able to attack fairly large prey. B 
) Needlefish is a marine fish of the Needlefish family (Syngnathidae). Length from 3 to 60 cm. The body is needle-shaped, covered with bone rings. The dorsal fin is without spines. Pipefish live in tropical and temperate seas, usually along sandy shores in thickets of sea grass, algae and coral. They are able to change their color depending on the background of the environment, and in general their color is very changeable: red, purple, brown, bright green, gray with various combinations of spotting. The body shape, coloring, and slowly swinging movements of pipefish perfectly imitate the surrounding thickets and allow these sedentary fish to successfully hide from enemies. Pipefish feed mainly on small planktonic crustaceans. The tubular snout acts like a pipette: when the cheeks are sharply inflated, the prey is quickly drawn into the mouth from a distance of up to 4 cm. 
) The hammerhead is a large shark that can reach 6 meters in length and weigh up to 450 kg. Their head has an unusual hammer-shaped shape, it is strongly flattened, with large outgrowths on the sides. The eyes are located at the edges of the outgrowths. The hammerhead fish is found in warm coastal tropical waters, but can also swim into open waters. Hammerhead sharks are aggressive predators that feed on a variety of fish species. There are known cases of hammerheads attacking people. Previously considered one of the most dangerous shark species, most likely due to its ominous appearance. G 
)
Bolt fish– such a fish does not exist. D 
) Sawfish ( common sawfish) is a large predatory sea ray fish with an elongated snout with processes similar to saw teeth. It reaches almost 5 m in length, and possibly more, and a very significant weight (up to 300 kg). It is found off the coast of the Atlantic Ocean, in the Mediterranean Sea, and off the coasts of the Pacific and Indian Oceans, often at a depth so shallow that the dorsal fins protrude above the surface. It is found not only in sea water, but sometimes also in fresh water; for example, the Australian sawfish constantly lives in rivers. The food of sawfish consists mainly of various small animals living in the ground. To extract them from the silt, sawfish use their saw as a shovel and rake. They do not pose a danger to humans; on the contrary, in many regions the species is on the verge of extinction, because people catch them in large quantities for their edible meat and saw, which they sell as souvenirs.14. The dwelling that Eskimos build from snow is called: A) saklya; B) chum; B) yurt;G)
igloo
;
D) wigwam.
A 
) Saklya is a type of dwelling among the Caucasian mountaineers with stone, adobe or adobe walls and a flat roof. Sakli are located on mountain slopes in terraces, and the roof of the lower house can serve as a yard for the upper one. B 
) Chum is a portable dwelling of the peoples of the North. The poles are made into a cone and covered with birch bark in the summer, and with whole and sewn reindeer skins in the winter, the smoke from the hearth comes out through the hole at the top. IN 
) A yurt is a portable dwelling made of felt on a lattice frame among the peoples of Central and Central Asia and Siberia. It looks like a cylinder with a domed roof. To keep the roof stronger, small pillars are placed inside the yurt, supporting the upper circle. For the entrance, a large hole is left into which a wooden door is inserted, and the outside is covered with felt. There are no windows in the yurt; in the very middle there is a hearth right on the ground. The upper hole, which serves for the exit of smoke, is covered with special felt. Light enters the yurt either through the smoke hole or through the door when the felt is raised. G 
)
Igloo- winter home of Canadian Eskimos. It is a dome-shaped structure with a diameter of 3-4 meters and a height of about 2 meters made of wind-compacted or ice blocks. In deep snow, the entrance is usually made in the floor, and a corridor is dug to the entrance. In case of shallow snow, the entrance is made in the wall, to which an additional corridor of snow blocks is built. It is important that the entrance to the igloo is below floor level - this ensures the flow of fresh air, but does not allow lighter warm air to escape. Most of the space inside the igloo is occupied by a bed of snow covered with skins. Sometimes the inside of the walls is covered with skins. Light enters the igloo through the thickness of the walls, sometimes through windows made of lake ice or seal guts. D) Wigwam - the dwelling of the Indians of North America. When constructing a wigwam, the Indians stick flexible thin tree trunks into the ground in a circle, bending their ends into a vault. A dome-shaped frame is obtained, it is covered with branches, bark, and mats. Assignments worth 5 points 1
5. What does a young, growing month look like in the northern hemisphere? The moon glows because it reflects the sunlight falling on it. The Earth revolves around the Sun, the Moon revolves around the Earth, so situations arise when:
- The Moon is not visible from the Earth at all, since its unlit side faces the Earth - this is a new moon; The moon is completely visible from Earth - it is a full moon; some part of the left or right half of the Moon is visible.
In the northern latitudes, we observe a growing month for the Moon after the Moon passes near the disk of the Sun - as shown in Figure D, and we observe an aging month before the Moon passes near the disk of the Sun - as in Figure A. We will observe a growing month in the northern hemisphere at sunset , and aging at sunrise. In the southern latitudes, the crescent will be visible at the same times of day for the growing month, as shown in Figure A, and for the aging month, as in Figure D, that is, in the southern hemisphere, the phases of the Moon occur in the reverse order. Seeing an incomplete month in the sky, you will not immediately understand whether it is a growing month or a defective one. Residents of northern latitudes can use a special mnemonic rule for memorization: If the crescent moon looks like the letter “C”, then it is aging (waning), and if you mentally attach a segment to the horns of the crescent moon and get the letter “P”, then it is growing. This rule is used not only by residents of Russia, but also by other countries, for example, the Germans, but they, of course, get their own letters.16. The name of which flower is translated from Latin as “star”: People really like the plants of the Asteraceae family, which are depicted in these pictures. Some of them have beautiful decorative flowers of different shapes and colors, for example, asters, chrysanthemums, dahlias, daisies, daisies - they delight us all summer. Some bring us great benefits: medicines are made from calendula, dandelion, coltsfoot, string, etc.; Vegetable oil is made from sunflower fruits. A) Aster(lat. Aster). The name comes from Latin astra – star, apparently due to the similarity of the flower to a stylized image of a star. Wild asters with white, blue and purple flowers were brought to Europe from China and Korea two centuries ago, and gardeners created new varieties of different colors, including double inflorescences. B) Dahlia, or Dahlia (lat. Dahlia). The Latin name was given to the flower in 1791 by the director of the Botanical Garden of Madrid, named after the 18th century Swedish botanist Anders Dahl. The Russian name “dahlia” was given to the flower in 1803 in honor of the St. Petersburg academician - botanist, geographer and ethnographer Johann Georgi. B) Meadow chamomile or popovnik are the popular names for the nivaria. The name “chamomile” is borrowed from the Polish language and comes from Lat. romana- Roman. The Poles were the first to name the plant this way, already in the middle of the 16th century, describing it as novels color.G) Sunflower (lat. Helianthus). Its Latin name means "turning after the sun." And its Russian name - Sunflower or Sunflower, that is, “under the Sun,” reflects the well-known property of sunflowers to turn flowers during the day following the movement of the Sun across the sky. D) Chrysanthemum (lat. Chrysanthemum) - the name comes from the Greek χρυσανθης “golden flower”, which is explained by the yellow color of the inflorescences. Chrysanthemums began to be grown more than two thousand years ago in China. In Japan, where they have become the national symbol of the country, more than 10 thousand varieties have been created. They were brought to Europe at the end of the 18th century. The flowers are simple, chamomile-like and double.17. Find an animal whose baby is born sighted: Mammals give birth to live babies. Blind and helpless cubs are born to predators such as wolves and cats; in those living in burrows, for example, hedgehogs and mice; those living in hollows, for example, have squirrels. The mother feeds them with milk and protects them while they are helpless. This means that B) a hedgehog, C) a mouse, D) a squirrel, E) a cat are animals whose young are born blind. If mammals graze in herds, like zebras, or live in the forest, without digging holes, like hares, then their cubs are born sighted, well developed, and already on the first day they try to run. U brown hare shown in the figure A) the baby is born sighted. 18. In the spring, a pike was released into a pond with a variety of fish. What happened to the fish in the pond at the end of summer? A) there were almost no fish in the pond, and the pike gained weight; B) the fish in the pond were healthy, large, and the pike also gained weight; C) the fish in the pond was small and thin, and the pike was also sluggish and thin; D) the fish in the pond was healthy and large, but the pike looked thin and sick; D) there were big fish in the pond, but there were no small ones. SCH
Uka is one of the most common fish in our country. It can be found in any river, sometimes even in a very shallow river, and in almost any lake. The body of the pike has an elongated, torpedo-shaped shape. Reaches a length of up to one and a half meters, weighs up to 35 kg (usually 5-6 kg on average). The head is greatly elongated, the lower jaw protrudes forward. The teeth on the lower jaw are of different sizes and are used to capture prey. The color is gray-brown-greenish. In a reservoir, pike stay in thickets of aquatic vegetation. Usually she stands motionless, hiding, and suddenly rushes at a passing fish. The caught prey is swallowed only in the direction from the head - if the pike grabs it across the body, then, before swallowing, it quickly turns the prey with its head into the throat. The diet of medium-sized pike, about half a meter, is dominated by numerous and low-value fish, so pike is a necessary component of sustainable fisheries; In the absence of pike in lakes, the number of small ruff and perch increases sharply. Let’s read, for example, Nikolai Sladkov’s short story “Zhaleikin and the Pike.” The fishermen released carp into the pond. Let them grow and get fat!Zhaleikin is already here! And immediately I spotted a pike in the pond.“The pike will catch all the carp in the pond!” he was horrified. “It needs to be caught immediately. The fishermen will only thank me.”Zhaleikin caught a pike, and the fishermen almost beat him for it!- The pike is very small, our carps are too tough for it! We deliberately put her in the pond so that she could catch small fish. Weed fish eat carp food! The pike would scare our carp, would chase them away, and this would make them have a better appetite, and they would grow faster! This is how much harm you have done because of your stupid pity!And the fishermen drove Zhaleikin away from the pond, and put the pike back into the water. By the end of summer, the fish in the pond became healthy and large, and the pike also gained weight; the pike ate small, sick fish, thereby saving food for other fish and protecting them from diseases.1 
9. An animal not associated with water in its development is: Of the five insects depicted in the pictures, only ground beetle (G). Its larvae live in the soil or on its surface under fallen leaves. In the external appearance of an adult beetle there are no adaptations to life in water: it has thin legs for running and an angular body shape, inconvenient for swimming. A) A mosquito has a larva living in the water. This stage of its development takes a short period of time. The life of an adult mosquito passes in the air and can last 4-5 years, so it does not need aquatic devices. B) The dragonfly is an aerial predator, hunts mosquitoes and midges and does not have adaptations for life in water. Its larva also hunts, but at the bottom of the reservoir, on mosquito and midge larvae. The larva has many adaptations to aquatic life. C) Mayfly - an adult insect lives in the air from several hours to a couple of days. He does not need adaptations to aquatic life. At this stage, the mayfly doesn't eat anything, so it doesn't even have a mouth. The mayfly larva spends two years in water, grows there, molting more than 20 times and, of course, has many adaptations to the aquatic environment, while none to life on land. E) The swimming beetle not only goes through the larval stage of development in water. An adult beetle also spends a lot of time in water bodies, getting food there. Therefore, his body has a perfectly flat, smooth surface. It uses its hind legs as oars. 20. What is the meaning of the saying: “Mow while there is dew; away with the dew and we're home": A) when there is dew, then it is cool and easier to mow; B) the grass becomes elastic from dew and is easier to mow; C) in the morning a person has more strength; D) in the morning there are fewer mosquitoes and other midges; D) in the morning the scythe is sharper, and as you mow it becomes duller. When mowing grass, mowers skillfully use several physical principles that make the work much easier and improve its quality. Let's consider them: 1. When there is dew on the grass, that is, water, it acts as a lubricant, reducing friction between the blade of the scythe and the grass being cut. Consequently, the mower will expend less effort and, as a result, will be less tired. Obviously, when the grass is dry, there is more friction and more effort is required to cut the same amount of grass. 2
. Early in the morning, when there is dew, there is a lot of water in the grass. As a result, the elasticity of the grass increases and the grass resists tilting more strongly. And upright grass is cut along a shorter path than sloped grass, which ultimately means that the mower requires less force to cut the grass. In addition, almost all the blades of grass are cut off, so they all tend to return to a vertical position. During the day, there is much less water in the grass, so the scythe does not cut off a significant part of the grass blades, but only tilts them towards the ground (the elastic force is less and with little effort the grass blades tilt strongly). 3. Due to dew, the blades of grass have more mass, they are heavier, so when mowing the grass they do not fly apart. Thus, in a seemingly simple action - mowing grass - the laws of physics have been skillfully used since ancient times. The “Man and Nature” competition has been held since April 2010 and is aimed at children interested in the world around them, and will allow school teachers to expand extracurricular work in natural science subjects. Its main focus is man and the world around him, the relationship between man and nature, man and the surrounding reality.
The symbol of the competition is the inquisitive red fox Chip, who, together with his friends, always strives to learn new things, look for answers to difficult questions and solve the mysteries of nature.
CHIP competition schedule for the 2019-2020 academic year:
October 23, 2019. Subject:"Australia"(for students in grades 2-11)
October 232019. Subject:"Tales of Friendship"(for preschoolers and 1st grade schoolchildren)
February 17-21, 2020. Subject:"Pets"(for preschoolers only)
The competition questions are related to such subjects as natural history, ecology, biology, geography, astronomy, etc. To answer the questions, participants need not only knowledge, but also the ability to observe, think, generalize, and draw conclusions.
To prepare participants, we are publishing a list of topics on which the tasks of the competitions "Australia" and "Tales of Friendship" will be focused.
Competition posters for the 2019-2020 academic year:
"Australia" "World of Fairy Tales" "Pets"
Procedure for holding the competition
If the number of participants in the competition in a school is less than 10 and the organizer cannot independently pick up the materials at the office of the regional organizing committee, then they are sent by registered mail by Russian Post, subject to payment of the registration fee increased to 90 rubles. per participant.
The competition is held for students 1-2; 3-4, 5-6, 7-8 and 9-10 grades.
Since 2015, the competition has been supplemented with an option for preschoolers (senior and preparatory groups).
Students in grades 3-10 are asked to answer 30 questions in 75 minutes; All tasks are divided into 3 blocks, each of which contains 10 questions. Tasks are scored at 3, 4 and 5 points in each block, respectively. For schoolchildren in grades 1-2, due to their age, only 20 competitive tasks are offered and the time to complete them is 40 minutes.
On the day of the competition, each participant receives an assignment form, an answer form, and after summing up the results - a certificate indicating its results. The winners are awarded prizes and souvenirs with the symbols of the competition.
The results of the competition are transmitted to educational institutions 3 months after the date of the competition.
