Seasons are seasons that differ in weather and temperature. They change with the annual cycle. Plants and animals adapt perfectly to these seasonal changes.
It is never very cold or very hot in the tropics, there are only two seasons: one is wet and rainy, the other is dry. At the equator (on the imaginary midline) it is hot and humid throughout the year.
In temperate zones (outside the lines of the tropics) there is spring, summer, autumn and winter.
Generally, the closer to the North or South Pole, the cooler the summer and the colder the winter.
For three spring months, nature has time to change beyond recognition. In March, she is just beginning to wake up from hibernation. The spring warmth is not enough to make the snow and ice blocks melt, but the air gradually warms up, preparing all living things for a gradual awakening, the first cumulus clouds appear, which are still very high.
Astronomers consider the beginning of spring to be March 21–22, the moment of the vernal equinox, when the day is equal to night, and the end, June 21–22, the longest days of the year.
For naturalists, spring begins with the arrival of rooks (March 19 on average) and the movement of sap from the Norway maple (March 25).
This season is conditionally divided into three periods: early spring - before the snow melts on the fields (until mid-April), middle spring - before bird cherry blossoms (until mid-May) and late spring - before apple and lilac trees bloom (until early June).
Phenomena in inanimate nature.
In the second half of March, the days noticeably lengthen, the nights decrease; the sun rises higher and higher at noon above the horizon, its rays fall more directly on the earth and warm it more strongly. The snow becomes loose, begins to melt, and on open places thaws are formed.
In the second half of March, the first cumulus clouds appear.
They are very beautiful, they look like snow-white, dome-shaped masses with even bases. Clouds usually arise in the morning or at noon due to the heating of the air adjacent to the earth; towards evening, when the ascending currents weaken, they begin to disappear, to melt.
In the first half of April come off the ground snow; streams formed during its melting run down to reservoirs.
Ice drift usually begins in mid-April. Shortly before this, rims appear near the shore - narrow strips of water. Under the influence of water and the sun, cracks form in the ice, it breaks up and starts to move. Ice floes, crowding and pushing, rush down the river, hitting the banks and piles of bridges. In the middle of the river, ice floes move faster than near the banks. They melt along the way. The river is freed from the ice cover, overflows its banks and overflows. The flood begins.
Usually in early May there is the first thunderstorm.
At this time and later, a sudden cold snap often occurs with frosts, from which plants suffer greatly, especially fruit and berry plants.
Spring awakening of trees. Soon after the appearance of thawed trees, trees wake up: they begin to flow sap. This phenomenon is revealed if the bark is pierced with a thick needle: a sweet transparent liquid flows out of the raki; in air, it oxidizes and acquires a reddish color.
Extraction of juice causes great harm to trees.
Sap flow is a complex physiological process. The roots begin to actively absorb water from the thawing soil, it dissolves winter reserves nutrients plants and in the form of a solution moves along the trunk and branches to the kidneys.
Swelling and bud break.
Top 16 primroses among shrubs and trees
Ten days after the start of sap flow, swelling of the buds becomes noticeable, in which rudimentary shoots are located under the protective bud scales.
Trees and shrubs, pollinated by the wind, bloom before they are covered with leaves, or at the very beginning of their deployment.
Alder and hazel are the first to bloom in the second half of April, and willow is among those pollinated by insects. Willow buds are densely tightened with brown scales that look like caps.
Having dropped them, the buds look like fluffy balls, consisting of hairs that protect the flowers from sharp fluctuations in temperature and rain.
In April, most of the trees are still bare, but the integumentary scales of the swollen buds are already moving apart, and the tailbones of the leaves are showing from them.
The appearance of leaves. The young leaves of some trees are covered with a sticky fragrant substance, while others have a fluff that protects them from the cold.
Gentle and transparent at this time is the light green outfit of the trees.
At the end of April, bird cherry and birch buds bloom; in the first half of May - buds of maple, yellow acacia, apple and pear, and then - oak and linden.
In late spring, in the second half of May, the real flowering of spring begins. Bird cherry blossoms, at the same time - blackcurrant, a little later - wild strawberries and fruit trees, lilac, mountain ash and most herbaceous plants.
In the last days of May, the fruits of aspen and willow ripen.
The petals of apple and lilac flowers fall off - spring ends, summer begins.
Biology Spring phenomena in plant life
Spring is the time for the awakening of nature. According to the calendar, spring begins on March 1. In nature, spring comes into its own with the beginning of sap flow in the trees, earlier in the south, and later in the north on March 1.
The spring movement of juices near trees and shrubs is the first sign of spring. It occurs after the soil thaws and water from the roots begins to flow into all organs of the plant. At that time leaves not yet.
Water accumulating in cells plant stems, dissolves organic matter stored in them. These solutions move to the swollen and blooming kidneys. Already at the beginning of March, earlier than in other trees, spring sap flow begins in Norway maple, a little later in birch.
The second sign of spring is the flowering of wind-pollinated trees and shrubs.
The gray alder is the first to bloom in the middle zone of the European part of the USSR. Its flowers are inconspicuous, but the blossoming earrings of staminate flowers are clearly visible. 123
. One has only to touch an alder branch with catkins, as the wind picks up a whole cloud of yellow pollen. 
Pistillate alder flowers are collected in small grayish-green inflorescences. Next to them, dry, blackened cones of last year's inflorescences are usually clearly visible.
Almost simultaneously with the alder, the hazel, which you met in the fall, blooms.
Hazel staminate flowers develop in inflorescences - complex catkins, and reddish stigmas of pistillate flowers protrude from generative (flower) buds.
Early flowering of alder, hazel and other wind-pollinated plants- good adaptation to life in the forest.
Bare leafless branches do not impede pollination. Pollen, picked up by the wind, is freely transferred from one plant to another.
Flowering coltsfoot is also a sign of the coming spring. This perennial herbaceous plant grows in open, sunlit places, on railway embankments, river banks, steep slopes and cliffs.
As soon as the snow melts, its scaly stems already appear - flower stalks with bright yellow inflorescences, similar to dandelion inflorescences 124
. The large leaves of the coltsfoot grow after its fluffy fruitlets have ripened and scattered. 
The coltsfoot received its unusual name for the originality of the leaves. Their underside is covered with white, soft, like felt, hairs, and the upper side of the leaves is smooth and cold.
The coltsfoot blooms in early spring, before the leaves bloom, perhaps because its thick, long rhizomes have accumulated reserves of nutrients deposited in the summer of last year.
Feeding on these reserves, flower plants grow shoots and fruits are produced.
The third sign of spring is the flowering of perennial herbaceous plants of the deciduous forest. In areas of the middle lane, they bloom almost simultaneously with the coltsfoot. The first to bloom in the forest are the noble liverwort with azure flowers and the medicinal lungwort, then the oak and buttercup anemones 125 , Corydalis 119 , spring chistyak 126 , spring primrose 127 .
Flowering shrubs in spring
All of them are photophilous and bloom under the canopy of the forest, when there are no foliage on the trees and shrubs yet.
In the life of some early-flowering herbaceous plants of the forest, their growth under snow is very interesting. Plants such as the blueberry, or snowdrop, grow even in winter under the snow.
In spring, many of them come out from under the snow with green leaves and with buds that were formed last fall.
Οʜᴎ often bloom before the snow melts 128 . That is why these plants are called snowdrops.
Plants that bloom in early spring always attract attention because they are beautiful and because after a long winter they are the first flowering plants. Unfortunately, they are often collected, making up large bouquets. Often they destroy entire plants, pulling them out with roots. Plants with flower-bearing shoots torn off do not produce fruits and seeds.
This makes it difficult for them to reproduce. Many of the plants have become very rare, for example, noble liverwort, sleep-grass. They cannot be allowed to disappear completely. We must take care of the preservation of plants, not tear them in order to throw them away in a day, not damage wild plants and actively protect nature.
Protection of Nature and rational use natural resources of the country are legalized by the Constitution of Russia, i.e.
e. obligatory for all citizens of our country.
Trees and shrubs pollinated by insects bloom later, after the leaves bloom. If you observe the course of spring from year to year, you will be able to establish the sequence of spring development of plants.
In the middle zone of the European part of the USSR, usually 8 days after the flowering of the coltsfoot, lungwort begins to bloom, after 21 days - dandelion and willow-willow.
The pear blossoms on the 29th day, the yellow acacia on the 30th, and the linden on the 75th day after the start of flowering of the coltsfoot.
Every year the spring phenomena come in strict order. For example, lungwort always blooms later than coltsfoot, but before dandelion.
Observations of spring phenomena in plant life help to establish best timing agricultural work and prepare for them in a timely manner.
For example, it is known: in the regions of the middle lane best harvest cucumbers are obtained by sowing their seeds during the flowering of lilac and yellow acacia, and the best crop of turnips and beets is obtained by sowing them during the flowering of aspen.
Knowing how many days after the coltsfoot blooms lilacs bloom, it is easy to set the time for sowing cucumbers and prepare for it.

Signs of spring in inanimate nature:
1) The main sign of spring in inanimate nature is that the sun rises much higher above the horizon than in winter.
2) It shines brighter and warms more and more every day.
The days are getting longer.
3) The most noticeable sign of the onset of spring in inanimate nature is the melting of snow.
4) The ice starts to melt. Ice starts on the rivers.
5) It is very dangerous to walk on melted ice. You can not start games on the river during the ice drift.
6) When rivers and lakes overflow with water from melted snow, water fills meadows, forests, fields along the river.
This is called a flood.
7) The soil thaws from the spring heat. It accumulates a lot of moisture. This moisture is very necessary for plants.
8) It rains in spring, not snow. Not far from the first thunderstorm.
Signs of spring in wildlife:
a) in the life of birds with the advent of spring: they return migratory birds build nests, lay eggs, raise chicks
Such changes have become possible because many birds feed on insects. And with the advent of spring, insects crawl out of their hiding places.
The birds got more food. The ice on the rivers and lakes has melted, so waterfowl are returning
b) in the life of animals: Animals shed - they change their winter coats for summer ones. Bears, badgers, hedgehogs, chipmunks wake up from winter sleep.
Many animals have cubs in the spring.
c) Buds swell on deciduous trees and shrubs; earrings, silvery lambs, flowers appear, then leaves appear. At coniferous trees the color of the bark, needles changes.
The ground is covered with young grass, many plants begin to bloom. Usually early flowering herbaceous plants are called snowdrops.
if everything is short:
The sun is higher than in winter. The days got longer. It got warmer outside. The sky in spring is blue and high.
The clouds are white and light. Snow and ice are melting. On the rivers ice drift, flood. In the spring, in different months, it snows, then it rains. In May, the first thunderstorm rumbles. The soil thaws, buds appear on the trees, and then sticky leaves. Primroses bloom. Insects appear. The migratory birds are returning. Forest animals breed offspring.
- familiarization with the change in trees and shrubs, with the change in buds.
Lesson progress:
I. Organization of attention.
Updating what has already been learned.
- What are the mushrooms that we meet in the forest consist of?
What is the name of the underground part of the fungus?
- Do you need a fly agaric?
Who is it useful for?
- What mushrooms can not be collected?
What should be done to avoid damage to the mycelium?
- Is it possible to collect old mushrooms?
But someone important

Learning new.
1. Communication of the topic and purpose of the lesson.
It is impossible to imagine our nature without the white-trunk beauty of the birch. How many fairy tales, poems, songs have been composed about her? It is interesting that birch is the only tree in Russia with white bark that lives
birch 100 - 120 years old. Yes, people love birch, but how often do they not take care of it. Losing in the spring through the fault of man a considerable part of the juice, birch
If you inflict wounds on her for several years in a row, she can
die completely. Remember that the sugar contained in the juice is needed to feed the tree!
The movement of sap from trees and shrubs is a sign of their spring
awakening.
Another sign is the flowering of some trees and shrubs. Of the trees, the alder is the first to bloom. It is easy to recognize it in winter and spring by the black bumps on the branches. In the spring, earrings appear on the alder.
Which trees wake up first in spring? Urgently give 100 points
Earrings are many small flowers gathered together.
Willow blooms early in spring. Bees and bumblebees curl around its flowers. They come here for sweet nectar.
Of the shrubs, hazel and wolf's bast are the first to bloom. On hazel, as well as on alder, earrings are visible. And the wolf's bast is a poisonous plant.
All these plants are early flowering. They bloom before blooming
Birch blooms later, when the leaves on it are already beginning to bloom.
Even later, the bird cherry blossoms.
Swelling of buds and blooming of leaves is a sign of spring
awakening trees and shrubs.
Guys, interesting changes occur in the spring with conifers.
The larch is fully dressed with new needles. But coniferous plants never bloom.
Rules of friends of nature: do not damage the bark of trees, do not cut on
her letters.
Do not collect birch sap. Take care of the trees! Do not break branches of flowering trees and shrubs. Without flowers, there will be no fruits!
