Space - for children. A few ideas for the Day of Cosmonautics
This work week is crowned with one of the most amazing holidays, of which we are truly proud - Cosmonautics Day.
This pride is passed on from generation to generation, and, despite the fact that our space industry today is often criticized for various reasons, we are still trembling and worried about the date of April 12.
')
How to please and surprise a child on this day:
Virtual travel
Once we have already listed space VR-applications in detail, which may be interesting to look at:
Titans of space
Schematic educational application in the form of a small space travel, during which the acquaintance with the planets of the solar system. As we approach them, background information is issued, and for the effect of presence, “virtual” arms and legs are drawn.
Solar system vr
Painted on C grade application that does not carry, by and large, no educational value: fly, relax ...
VR Solar System
Another application in the genre of travel with good detail. Recognizable objects just float past you.
VR Cosmic Tour
A very dynamic application for this genre. Objects fly past quite quickly to the vigorous music.
Solar System VR Cardboard 3D
The application is in a lesson format, but unfortunately, in English.
StarTracker VR-Mobile Sky Map
Virtual home planetarium: when you hover on a constellation, you will see how it turns into a figure in whose honor it was named. The accompanying comments are given.
VR Star Night Sky View Walk
Pretty simple English-language application, which, however, will allow to remember the schematic representation of the constellations.
VR Mars Walk 3D
Application in the format of "Walk". In this case, according to Mars. And, importantly, you can even walk while sitting on a chair - so that the child does not crash into a corner.
Space dive vr
Calm spacewalk with comments in English.
VR Moon Walk 3D
And another application is a walk from the same authors. A distinctive feature of the series is that walking is implemented at the program level, which is quite safe for young viewers.
VR Space Extended Free
The application allows you to become an observer of the space mission and satellite launch.
VR Solar System Roller Coaster
Slow ride in a trolley on space rails surrounded by celestial bodies.
Astronaut
The application in Russian with several options for missions. You can visit the schematic MSC or go into outer space. Detailing is average.
Earth in Space VR 360
A short visualization of how our planet looks in space.
What to look at
Homido V2 Deluxe is one of the most advanced models of this brand, which is distinguished by its flawless assembly, which provides comfort and convenience even with long wearing. The viewing angle is 105 degrees, suitable for smartphones from 4.2 to 6 ''.
Homido Prime is a novelty from Homido 2019. Here, the increased viewing angle is 110 degrees + a pair of draped inches for modern smartphones: 4.5 - 6.3 ”. Glasses can be used with optical, also the interpupillary distance is fully regulated here.
VR Lefant - glasses are good because the controller is included. The interface of some applications assumes its presence. Suitable for smartphones from 4.7 to 6 ''.
VR Shinecone - also not without raisins. Updated model 4.0, which received built-in speakers. Full immersion in VR with smartphones ranging in diagonal from 4.5 to 6 ''.
Solar System Models
Educational toys that need to be assembled, properly placed in their places, properly colored. One of the most uncomplicated models - costs about a thousand rubles .
Quite an amusing toy, complete with everything you need: brushes, paints, a stand and plastic halves of the spheres from which you need to fold the planets. Similar Chinese models met and suspended. There used to be a set of suspended planets in the Imaginarium store, but the Russian site doesn’t open something - they are preserved in the Spanish catalog.
They do not need to fold - they are sold already assembled.
Korbo 154 Cosmo is a space designer.
Besides the fact that it can be assembled by analogy with the model of the solar system - arrange the planets, there are still opportunities to collect different space objects: the lunar rover, the spacecraft.
Objects are driven by a simple mechanism of gears.
The planets are made quite simply and schematically. Plus included:
Home planetariums
Small projectors that project the starry sky or planets of the solar system directly onto the ceiling. Excellent educational toy. There are different sizes, different compatibility, different prices.
Most often the bundle already comes with several discs.
The toy exhausts itself pretty quickly, but as a soothing background “for falling asleep” it can be used for quite a long time.
Telescopes
You can look at the starry sky in a natural way: one of the most accessible today is a telescope. The assortment is huge, the prices are “not cosmic”, and availability is amazing: in almost any children's store you can find the simplest model.
For the first observations of simple telescopes, it is quite enough - this is the level “the moon is a little closer than from the window”. For example:
Veber 400/80 Az is an amateur reflector telescope, which is well equipped and does not require additional investments at the initial level.
Eyepieces included:
The Veber 350 * 70 Az is an amateur refractor telescope , which is distinguished by its rather compact size and is equipped with a desktop tripod, which can be replaced, if desired, by any other photo pole. From home and on the street will provide good visibility in a comfortable environment.
Eyepieces included:
By the way, Xiaomi has its own telescope. He is beautiful and dear.
True, a few days ago announced the second version. It should fill the niche of compact telescopes with a price of up to $ 100.
Toys-constructors-robots
Fantastic alien robots are a good toy by themselves. There is where to roam. The simplest designers, such as 14 in 1 , we have already assembled with you .
By itself, it is not something “mandatory” just for the Day of Astronautics - it’s just a very inexpensive and very entertaining unpretentious toy: during the assembly process, up to 14 different robot figures can be assembled from the same parts.
Strictly speaking, any robot - in fact, he and the robot - looks "alien." Therefore, it is necessary to choose them, based on some other, additional parameters. Teaching robots, which are designed to develop simple programming skills, are now quite common.
Abilix Krypton 2 - the designer for programming. A distinctive feature of the model range can be called the "missing" algorithm assembly, that is, in fact, the child's imagination is not limited.
Alien weather station from BanBao - This electronic designer also includes electronic modules and components. But here in the set there are also various sensors that will help to create not just a robotic device, operating according to an algorithm, but also something like a smart gadget.
The set of modules for determining the temperature and humidity, wind direction, soil conditions. Build, programming, analytics!
Interactive Globe
Model of the globe - what could be more logical. Modern globes are excellent interactive learning tools.
For the smallest - Vtech . Life on earth: the most famous landmarks, the peoples of the world, national languages ​​and melodies.
A total of 5 developing interactive programs for kids.
Oregon globes are designed for older children: there are more advanced courses, more complex lessons and more sophisticated management. The range of globes is “divided” thematically, in one case it is a geographical and political globe, there is a globe of a starry sky, etc.
Probably the most advanced can be called the globe Scientific SG338R : there is only a little bit of everything here.
The educational programs of the globe are designed for children of different ages: 5 - 9 years old, 9 - 14 years old, 15+. Levels include a story about sights, wildlife, population of countries. With the help of a special application, some objects can be “revived” on a smartphone or tablet.
If you open the globe, decomposed into two halves, information about the structure of the earth, the core of the earth and the planets of the solar system will be available.
Happy holiday!
