Meadow - the kingdom of flowers and insects
Living organisms of the meadow form a natural community. The meadow community, of course, differs in many ways from the forest community. The main plants in the meadow are grasses.
Trees and shrubs, if present, are found only occasionally. Large animals do not live in the meadow - they have nowhere to hide. But there are a lot of small animals! Insects are especially diverse. We can say that the meadow is the kingdom of flowers and insects.
Flowers and insects are closely related. Plants feed insects with nectar and pollen, and insects pollinate plants.
A meadow is a complex unity of living and inanimate nature. Living organisms of the meadow (plants, animals, fungi, bacteria) constitute a natural community.
Find flowers and insects in the picture of the textbook The world around us, grade 3. Write their names in the table.
Identify the meadow plants.
Compare the plant species in each pair: find similarities and differences.
In each pair, plants are of the same species, similar in flower structure, but different in color, one plant in each pair has white flowers, and the other yellow.
Mark (fill in the circle) the plants you have encountered in nature.
Identify the meadow insects shown in the picture. Sign the names. Use reference words when necessary. Words for reference
: meadow jaundice, common dung beetle, zorka, golden bronze beetle, moth, burying beetle.
Think about what two groups these insects can be divided into. Circle the representatives of one group with a red pencil, and the representatives of another with a green pencil.
Answer: These insects can be divided into groups of butterflies No. 1, 3, 5 and beetles No. 2, 4, 6.
Mark (fill in the circle) the insects you have seen in nature.
Draw up diagrams of food chains in a meadow community on your own or using a picture from a textbook.
a) mouse pea - field mouse - ferret
b) yarrow - filly - lizard
c) bluebell - bluebell - wagtail 
Draw a diagram of the cycle of substances in the meadow.
Write down the names of the inhabitants of the meadows of your region
Plants: thyme, St. John's wort, shepherd's purse, sweet clover, timothy, meadow clover, cornflower, plantain, valerian
Animals: field mouse, grass frog, lapwing, snipe, lark, bee, butterfly, ground beetle, grasshopper, dragonfly
In the book "Green Pages" read the story "Yarrow" or "Sour but Delicious". Write down 2 - 3 interesting facts.
The story "Yarrow" sets out the following facts - the leaves of the plant are heavily cut, cut into slices and it seems that there are a lot of them. That's why the plant was called yarrow. The flower cap consists of many small inflorescences that produce 25-30 thousand seeds per summer. This is not a simple plant, it is medicinal - it heals wounds well, helps with toothache, and improves appetite.
The story "Sour but Tasty" is about sorrel. Once a wild plant, it has long since moved into vegetable gardens. In France, for example, it has been cultivated since the 22nd century. Oxalic acid gives sorrel its sour taste. In addition to sour garden sorrel, horse sorrel grows in the meadows, which grows up to a meter in height. Horse sorrel is not edible - its stem and leaves are hard, even animals do not eat them.
In the book "The Giant in the Clearing" read the story "Don't catch insects for collections." Find in the story and briefly write down the answers to the questions.
Why did the insect collections that schoolchildren used to collect do more harm than good?
Firstly, because there were no real, good collections.
Secondly, because these collections most often included representatives of the largest and most beautiful species. And even then they were quite rare in nature, and now they are completely included in the Red Book (not all, of course, but very many).
So it turned out that the children, while carrying out their teachers’ assignments, unwittingly caused considerable harm to nature.
Thirdly, because over time, some of these “collections” were simply thrown away as unnecessary. And how many butterflies, beetles and other creatures very necessary for nature were destroyed in them!
What is the best way to study insects for someone who is interested in them?
If you are interested in insects, do not try to collect a collection.
Take photographs and drawings of insects, keep a diary of your observations of them, but keep them alive!
Where can you see real collections of insects collected by scientists?
If you really want to see different insects in collections, you can go to a zoological museum, for example in Moscow. There are a great variety of insects there, different and amazing. The collections of the Zoological Museum are collected and decorated by scientists according to all the rules; insects are stored in them for decades and even centuries! Green pages.

LET'S SAVE ALL THE PAGES IN THE BOOK OF NATURE! 219
This book will tell you about nature: about big trees and small beetles, about loud, cheerful birds and silent, gloomy spiders, about wonderful flowers, colorful butterflies, furry bumblebees and about the simplest grass under your feet.
The book is called "Green Pages". Why green? Because this color is a symbol of living nature. Why pages? The fact is that nature itself can be compared to a big, fascinating book. Every flower, every bird, every butterfly is the page of the Book of Nature. Reading it means knowing, studying nature. True, it is not so easy to read.
Imagine: somewhere on the edge of a forest you are standing and looking around. A black beetle will run by, rustling dry leaves from last year, at your feet. A hurried jay flashes among the branches. A blue bell will sway in the wind... And no one will tell you or even whisper: “Look at me, what a beautiful, interesting, very necessary inhabitant of the forest I am!”
Our book will help you learn to read the Book of Nature. Notice the surprising and extraordinary in the familiar and everyday. To discover very important, necessary, but hidden from our eyes connections in living nature. And most importantly: learn to love and take care of what people cannot live without - the wonderful world of plants and animals around us!
