History of watches for children

Let's talk about the types of watches.

Tell me, what is the name of the device that keeps track of time within a day?- This device is called a clock.

The most ancient clocks that people used to approximately know the time were solar clocks. The dial of such a watch was placed in an open place, brightly illuminated by the sun, and the clock hand served as a rod that cast a shadow on the dial.

The hourglass also came to us from ancient times. Maybe some of you have seen them? After all, hourglasses are still used in medicine when you need to measure a small but very specific period of time.

An hourglass consists of two small cone-shaped vessels connected at the tops to each other, with a narrow hole at the junction of the vessels. The upper vessel contains sand, which seeps in a thin stream through the hole into the lower vessel. When all the sand from the upper vessel is in the lower one, a certain time passes, for example, one minute.

Now let's talk about modern watches. Each of us has a clock in our house. Maybe not alone. This is a home clock.

Watches can be wristwatches. They are put on the hand using a bracelet or strap.

Fashionistas love a beautiful watch in the form of a pendant or ring. A pendant on a chain is worn around the neck, and a ring on the finger.

Some men prefer chunky pocket watches. They are attached with a chain to a belt and carried in a trouser pocket.

You probably have an alarm clock at home.

Why do we need such a watch? - The alarm clock can be set for a certain hour, and with its bell or melody it will wake us up at the right time.

A clock that is usually placed on a desk is called a table clock, a clock hanging on the wall is called a wall clock.

Where do you think the grandfather clock is? - Such a clock is on the floor. They are tall, massive, with heavy weights attached to chains, and with a melodic beat. Mantel clocks decorate indoor fireplaces.

Listen to the poem "Charming Clock".

Ding-dong! Ding-dong!
How beautiful is their chime!
At least he's a little sad
But transparent and crystal!
Days and weeks passed.
But the clock suddenly wheezed,
The arrows trembled and stood up,
And the clock stopped striking.
It became quiet. Even creepy!
We have long been accustomed to battle,
(But this is not a joke!)
There was something alive in him!
We, of course, did not remain silent,
There was a knock on the old lady's door:
"Why can't you hear the fight?
We need a master watchman!"
The watchmaker has arrived -
Wise, experienced old man,
And he said: “That’s it!
Here the spring has weakened,
The mechanism will receive lubrication,
And the clock - love and affection!"
He changed the spring.
And the bell rang again,
Silver chime:
"Ding-dong! Ding-dong!"
Revived the whole house!

What kind of watch “can cuckoo”?- Cuckoo-clock! A “cuckoo” is hiding in a clock made in the shape of a patterned wooden hut. Every hour the door of the house opens and the cuckoo appears on its threshold. She sings loudly: “Kuk-ku, kuk-ku,” reminding us of what time it is.

Listen to the poem "The Cuckoo Clock".

There are also clocks on city streets and squares. They are installed on towers, station buildings, theaters and cinemas.

The most famous clock in Russia is the Kremlin chimes, installed on the Spasskaya Tower of the Moscow Kremlin.

The first clock on the Spasskaya Tower appeared at the beginning of the 17th century. They were created by the English master Christopher Galovey. For his work, he received a royal gift - a silver cup and, in addition to it, satin, sable and marten fur.

After some time, Russian Tsar Peter I ordered another watch from Holland. At first they were transported by ship by sea, then delivered on 30 carts to the Kremlin.

Master Galovey's old watch was removed and replaced with a Dutch watch. When this clock also became dilapidated, another large chiming clock was installed in its place, which was kept in the Armory Chamber.

For several centuries, the Kremlin's Spasskaya Tower has been decorated with clocks. A whole team of experienced watchmakers maintains their work, making sure that the watches do not lag behind and are not in a hurry. There are 117 stone steps leading to the chimes. Behind them begin the cast-iron steps of a spiral staircase leading to the eighth floor. The chiming mechanism is located here.

“The iron colossus is all shiny, lubricated with oil. The polished copper discs of the dials shine, the levers are painted red, the gilded pendulum disc, similar to the circle of the sun, shines. It reigns over this system of shafts, cables, gears, forming a complex mechanism for keeping time” (L Kolodny).

On December 31, with the first strike of the Kremlin chimes, the country enters the New Year. Having heard the chime of the famous clock, we wish each other happiness and congratulate each other on the New Year!

The watches that modern people use are mechanical. Then they need to be started at certain intervals.

Mechanical watches were invented in the 17th century. scientist Christian Huygens, since then they have served us faithfully.

In the second decade of the 20th century. Electronic and quartz watches appeared. They run on batteries or mains power.

And the most accurate clocks are atomic ones.

Do you know what watches are called natural or living?

In the old days, such a living clock in the village was, of course, Petya the Cockerel. The peasants noticed that the rooster crowed for the first time at about two o'clock in the morning, and the second time at about four o'clock in the morning.

Listen to the poem "Cockerel" about this.

Have you heard of flower clock?

In the morning, in a sunny meadow where dandelions grow, you can find out the time without a wristwatch. Dandelions open up at five o'clock in the morning, and by two or three o'clock in the afternoon they extinguish their golden lanterns.

Listen to a poem about dandelions.

Dandelions are meadow clocks... But water lilies are river clocks. No wonder they are called “tourists’ watches.” At seven o'clock in the morning they open their snow-white petals to the sun's rays and turn to follow the sun throughout the day.

Listen to the poem "Charming Clock".

Once upon a time there lived an old lady
(I've been retired for a long time)
And they were at the old lady's
Carved striking clock.
"Ding-dong, ding-dong!" —
They chimed every hour
The house was filled with noise
And they woke us up at night.
We, of course, were not silent,
We knocked on the old lady's door:
"Spare our ears,
Stop the clock chiming!"
But the old lady answered us
She answered: “No and no!
The clock speaks to me
I love their gentle fight.

Ding-dong! Ding-dong!
How beautiful is their chime!
At least he's a little sad
But transparent and crystal!
Days and weeks passed.
But the clock suddenly wheezed,
The arrows trembled and stood up,
And the clock stopped striking.
It became quiet. Even creepy!

(But this is not a joke!)

Lives in a carved hut
Merry cuckoo.
She crows every hour
And early in the morning he wakes us up:
"Kuk-ku! Kuk-ku!"
It's seven in the morning!
Cuckoo! Cuckoo!
It's time to get up!"
The cuckoo does not live in the forests,
And in our old watch!

Crow-crow!
The cockerel crows loudly.
The sun shone on the river,
A cloud is floating in the sky.
Wake up, animals, birds!
Get to work.
The dew sparkles on the grass,
The July night has passed.
Like a real alarm clock
The cockerel woke us up.
He fluffed his shiny tail
And straightened the comb.

There is a green meadow by the river,
Dandelions around
They washed themselves with dew,
They opened their doors together.
Like the lanterns are burning,
They tell you and me:
"It's exactly five o'clock,
You can still sleep!"

Dandelions are meadow clocks... But water lilies are river clocks. No wonder they are called “tourists’ watches.” At seven o'clock in the morning they open their snow-white petals to the sun's rays and turn to follow the sun throughout the day.

Lesson summary for children 5 - 7 years old "Journey into the past of hours."

Progress of the lesson:

Time. How slowly it stretches at a young age and how quickly it flies at an adult age. This is the only irreplaceable resource of our life, and that is why it is valuable. Very soon, human civilization came to the need to take into account the passage of time - and it came up with a clock. The history of watches is very long and rich in variety. It started many centuries ago.

Types of the first hours

1. Sundial. The very first clock was the sundial - the gnomon. The main indicator of time in them is the length and direction of the shadow. In addition, the sundial worked as a compass. The clock measured time quite accurately during the day, but was useless at night and in cloudy weather. Therefore, they were more popular in southern countries. What about the northern regions?
2. Water clock. And clepsydras - water clocks - came into life. The principle of their operation is very simple: water flowed drop by drop from one container to another. The amount of water flowing out showed what is called time. These watches have served humanity for centuries. But their time has passed.
3. Fire clock. It was very convenient to use them at home, because they also served as room lighting. They were also widely used in churches. Marks were made on a well-made candle and the time was determined by the degree of burning of the candle. But time passes, and civilization keeps pace with it. We need to come up with something new.
4. They appeared not so long ago, about a thousand years ago. The principle of operation is the same as that of water ones, only instead of water there is sand. They were used, to a greater extent, as a timer, since the period of time for pouring sand was short. Clocks were most popular on ships. In 1500, the popularity of these watches began to decline. The time has come for mechanical watches.

Types of New Era Watches

1. Mechanical watches. This watch was created in China by masters Lian Lingzan and Yi Xing using a liquid escapement mechanism. The clocks were huge in size, so they were used in churches and monasteries. They were replaced by a tower clock, smaller in size than its predecessors. In Russia it is Chimes. Gradually, mechanical watches improved, their sizes became smaller, their accuracy increased, and their mechanisms became more complex. And pocket watches appeared. Over time, they were supplemented with more and more new devices, such as a stopwatch, thermometer, calendar, etc. Mechanical watches are still a subject of admiration in our time. They surprise with their design, emphasize status and are a matter of prestige.
2. The German master P. Henlein, in the second half of the 15th century, made pocket watches. They were gilded, in the shape of an egg with one arrow. They were used not only to indicate time, but also as an item of decoration.
3. There is an opinion that one day Blaise Pascal took a pocket watch and tied it to his wrist with a thin rope. This is how the first wristwatch came about. But their appearance dates back to 1970, when the Swiss company Jacquet Droz et Lesho released these watches. The variety of watches is amazing.

What types of wristwatches are there?

1. Quartz watch. They look banal, but the way they are designed is not at all trivial. This watch is very accurate, thanks to the unusual properties of a tiny piece of crystal, quartz. All you need is a little electricity for the crystal to start moving in a constant rhythm and then the clock hands show the exact time: seconds, minutes, hours.
2. Digital Watch. A clock without the usual hands. The inside is a small microcircuit that transfers time information to the dial. Also in this watch you can find a stopwatch, calendar, blood pressure monitor and alarm clock.
3. Mechanical watches. They work thanks to a spring, so they need to be wound up periodically. The timing is perfect. This category includes commander's watches that have been proven over the years.
4. Chronograph. Another type of wristwatch. On this device, the time is not only displayed, but also recorded. It is most popular among pilots, military personnel and scientists.
5. Classic watch. These watches are always relevant and appropriate. The design is very simple. The dial is usually oval or round in shape. Simplicity and style are their hallmarks.
6. Sports. This type of watch is preferred by people involved in sports. After all, this watch has everything they need: a stopwatch, pedometer, heart rate monitor and date settings. The watch was made on the basis of an electronic display.
7. Ladies Watch. The variety of these watches is pleasing to the eye. Women's watches come in regular classic and unusual shapes. They can have colored straps, a fancy case shape, an original clasp, etc. Every woman can choose what she likes.

Nowadays, people cannot go a second without a watch. The variety of watches is growing every year, and this is not the end yet.
