1. Introduction.
I have been familiar with apples since childhood. Legends, fairy tales and stories are formed about them. I often see different varieties of apples at the market. I was interested in the questions: Where do apples come from? Why should you eat them? What benefits do they bring to the body? I decided to find answers to all these and other questions that interested me in additional literature and Internet resources.
Slide 4
2. Main part. History of apple cultivation.
The history of apples begins with the wild apple tree (Pyrus malus). It probably comes from Central Asia: southern Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and the Chinese province of Xinjiang. All varieties of apple trees grown today originate from the wild apple tree. European settlers brought apple seeds to the New World. Apples were grown in New England as early as 1630. In 1796 in Ontario, Canada. John McIntosh discovered a variety of apples that people all over the world know today - McIntosh apples. Apples are the most valuable type of our domestic fruit. Among fruits, this can be said to be our daily bread. After all, apples are not available in our country almost all year round. The fruits of wild trees occupied a significant place in the diet of our ancestors. Apples are also mentioned in legends. In the Bible, Adam and Eve are tempted by apples in the Garden of Eden. This extraordinary fruit is often mentioned in fairy tales and folk legends: “Rejuvenating apples...”, “Plum apples...”, etc. During archaeological excavations in Novgorod, apple seeds were discovered in layers dating back to the 12th century , even a whole apple was found - small in size, but presumably of cultural origin. Gardens in which the apple tree occupied a prominent place were common in Kievan Rus.
Slide 5
Medicinal properties of apples.
From the literature I learned that apples are often used as a dietary and remedy. They are useful for children, people of mental work and people leading a sedentary lifestyle. An apple contains up to 80% water, the remaining 20% contains a lot of useful substances: potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, iodine, as well as vitamins A, B1, B6, PP, C, etc. The phytoncides of these fruits are destructive act on the causative agents of dysentery and influenza A virus. Vitamin C increases the body's immunity and has bactericidal properties. Vitamins contained in 100 grams of apple: Potassium - 158 mg Calcium - 9.5 mg Phosphorus - 9.5 mg Magnesium - 7 mg Selenium - 0.4 mg Vitamin A - 73 mg Vitamin C - 9 mg Folate - 4 mg Vitamin E - 0.66 mg Also contains a small amount of iron, manganese, copper and zinc.
Slide 6
Recommendations.
It is best to eat fresh fruits in their natural form or grated on a coarse grater. Fresh apples cause abundant secretion of gastric juice, therefore, it is useful to eat an apple during lunch for those who are in a hurry and do not chew their food very thoroughly. Apples normalize the amount of cholesterol in the liver. In this case, it is enough to eat 2-3 apples a day. This effect of apples is explained by the fact that the pectins they contain are favorably combined with other substances with a similar effect: ascorbic acid, fructose, magnesium. For long-term treatment of atherosclerosis, it is recommended to eat 3-4 apples daily or drink 1 glass apple juice. Reduce and regulate blood sugar levels by eating 2 apples at night. They also have a beneficial effect on sleep and aid digestion. Fresh and baked apples are used to improve digestion and metabolism. Raw, boiled or baked apples are consumed on an empty stomach for sluggish digestion, gastrointestinal disorders, especially in children and for long-term, so-called habitual constipation. Applesauce also has a positive effect. Including 2-3 apples in your daily diet will help prevent colds. Fresh apples are recommended for headaches. American dentists suggested using an apple instead of toothpaste after meals, and especially at night, and then rinsing your mouth. Apples eliminate 96.7% of bacteria in the mouth. Apples facilitate the absorption of calcium salts and are good for the skin.
Slide 7
Experimental part.
Question asked: How often do you use apples in your diet? Frequency Number of respondents – 13 a) every day 0 b) once a week 13 c) once a month 0 Conclusion: most people use apples in their diet only once a week
Slide 8
1. Evidence of malic acid.
Everyone knows that apples can be sour, sweet and sour and sweet. The more malic acid there is in an apple, i.e. it tastes sour.
Slide 9
2. The presence of iodine in apple seeds.
Iodine acts on starch. We poured starch paste onto crushed apple seeds, and the solution turned blue. Conclusion: two apples a day, eaten along with seeds, is enough to provide a daily dose of iodine per day. (according to literature)
Slide 10
The apple symbolizes:
health, vitality, youth, love, spring. Eat apples in the morning - you won’t go to the doctors. “An apple for lunch and all diseases are gone.” An apple for dinner and you don’t need a doctor. An apple a day and a doctor on the side.
Slide 11
Conclusion
Research– became for me another source of self-knowledge and self-development. In the course of the work done, I expanded my knowledge. When studying varieties of apple trees, I found out what varieties of apple trees are brought to us for sale, and learned the history. While doing the experimental part of the work, I learned that apples contain a lot of iodine, ascorbic acid and proved this experimentally. I believe that apples have a positive effect on human health, because... contain a large amount of vitamins and other useful substances. I myself began to eat 1 apple a day, and my mood improves, I have more strength and a desire to do something useful.

Progress of the lesson
Leading: (slide 1) On 21 October or the weekend closest to that date, England celebrates Apple Day, an annual event celebrating apples, orchards and local attractions. The idea of the Day is that the apple is a symbol of physical, cultural and genetic diversity , which a person should not forget.
Leading: (slide 2) Our lesson - apple festival - a good option traditional Autumn Day, which is held in almost every school.
Every nation and every country has traditions associated with apples. No fruit has been as popular in myth, art, and literature as the apple. (slide 3). We find the very first known apple in the Bible when Eve, succumbing to temptation, ate the forbidden fruit of knowledge offered by the serpent.
Let's find out about the secret of this ancient fruit that people love to feast on. What is the apple hiding from us? Let’s reveal the apple’s secrets together. (slide 4).
Leading: And we have guests.
The rowan brushes are already burning with fire,
And the leaves on the birch trees turned yellow,
And the singing of birds is no longer heard at all,
And silently autumn comes to us
Autumn enters with her colors (students with multi-colored ribbons) and performs a dance in the rhythm of a waltz.
I walk across the plains
A quiet, bright fairy tale,
I paint the groves
Sunny paint.
Autumn colors performed by Apple ditties (Appendix 2)
(slide 5) Among the many harvested fruits, I have a special relationship with apples. At the beginning of autumn, apples are carefully removed from the tree into wicker baskets and carefully placed in wooden boxes, avoiding bumps and dents. Long-term storage varieties of apples are advised to be laid in rows, separating each row from each other with a paper wrapper or wrapping it around each fruit.
The apple is ripe, red, sweet,
The apple is crunchy, with a smooth skin.I'll break the apple in half
I'll share an apple with my friend
Leading: (slide 19) So, it’s not for nothing that the British have a proverb: “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” - “An apple a day, and you don’t need a doctor,” only, to be precise, the first part of the proverb should be replaced with “two or three apples in day...". A healthy person does not need to eat more.
(slide 20) Students give examples of proverbs about apples. The presenter adds and asks to explain some of them.
(slide 21) The Slavs have long revered the apple tree as a symbol of fertility, health, love and beauty. It was used in marriage ceremonies. Guys and girls exchanged apples to express mutual sympathy; the fruit accepted during matchmaking meant the girl’s consent to marriage. Apple tree branches were stuck into wedding treats, and apples were given to newlyweds with wishes for numerous offspring. Pregnant women had to look at the apple tree and touch its trunk. It was believed that this would give the child health, beauty and strength. Just as with the birth of a new life, the apple tree was associated with the end of life's journey, considering it a mediator between the worlds of the living and the dead. A small apple tree was carried ahead of the funeral procession and planted on the grave in order to communicate with the deceased through it until the soul reached heaven. Apples were placed in the coffin so that the deceased would treat their ancestors with them.
(slide 22) In Slavic mythology, the apple was the emblem of a marriage union and healthy offspring. Apple fruits, shoots and apple blossoms played important role in wedding ceremonies. The exchange of apples between a guy and a girl symbolized mutual sympathy. By accepting an apple from the wooing guy, the girl seemed to be giving consent to the marriage. Among the southern Slavs, apples acted as a wedding invitation.
(slide 23) Apple tree branches decorated the wedding banner and the bride’s wreath, and were also used to decorate the festive table. So, Belarusians, Ukrainians and Poles stuck an apple tree branch into a loaf, and Russians - into a wedding chicken. The Southern Slavs sent the bride to the wedding with an apple, and after that she had to throw the fruit behind the altar in order to have children. Newlyweds were given apples, wishing for large offspring. Before the first wedding night, they performed the following ritual: one apple was hidden under a feather bed, and the other was broken into two parts, and each of the newlyweds ate half. The apple is an ancient Slavic symbol of the bride’s chastity: it was left on the wedding shirt. Southern Slavs traditionally shaved the groom before the wedding under an apple tree. And when performing the ritual of changing the headdress from a girl’s to a woman’s, the first one, with the help of an apple tree branch, was removed from the bride’s head and thrown onto the apple tree.
Host: Apples have always been given great importance. This is reflected in ditties and Russian folk tales. This, for example, is the tale of rejuvenating apples.
Everyone knows the magic phrase “Roll, roll, apple, on a silver platter,” so we roll the apple and see a fairy tale.
A dramatization of V. Suteev’s fairy tale “The Bag of Apples” is presented
Leading: (slide 24) August 19 celebrated annually Feast of the Transfiguration of our Lord Jesus Christ. It was popularly called Apple Spas or Second Savior. This happened because on this day all Orthodox Christians bless fruits (and first of all, apples) and receive God's blessing. In pre-revolutionary Russia, grapes were initially sacred, but since they do not grow everywhere, they gradually began to bring apples, grapes, plums, etc. to the church. Historical writings say that at that time it was not customary to eat any fresh fruit at all except those that had been lying around all winter. Gradually, the holiday changed, and everyone began to eat fruit, and especially after the Savior. The celebration of the Apple Savior took place on a large scale: rich people bought whole carts of apples and pears and distributed them to everyone. Simple people gifted each other not only with the fruits themselves, but also with culinary delights - pies, marmalade, apple juice...
(slide 25) In the UK, this event was first organized in 1990, on the initiative of one of the charitable organizations. Although the holiday is called “Apple Day,” it is dedicated not only to apples, but to all orchards. The organizers of this holiday were able to see in the apple a symbol of diversity and all aspects of the world, and a sign that a person has the power to influence what is happening around him. The holiday contains some elements of an apple-themed fair, where you can not only try hundreds of varieties of apples (some of which are not even available in stores), but also buy seedlings to grow them in your own garden or near your home . At the festival, you can try dozens of a wide variety of culinary dishes made from apples and get recipes for some of them, so that you can later cook them at home.
(slide 34) If you dream that you are picking up apples that have fallen to the ground, in reality you should be careful about promises of quick profit that come from dubious individuals. Seeing an apple in a dream means that events will soon occur in your family that will cause insurmountable disagreements. A dream in which you bite an apple and realize that it is rotten predicts that you will not be able to change anything for the better in your life. If in a dream you see ripe apples hanging among green leaves, in reality luck will be on your side, so you can safely begin new important things.
(slide 35) I must say that we also always wipe the apple before taking a bite. But not out of superstition, but for hygienic reasons, since dust falls on apples hanging on a tree, insects land on them, and lately they have also been sprayed with poisonous insecticides.
The competition “Get the Apple” is being held. Apples are thrown into a large bowl of water. Participants must grab the apple with their teeth, holding their hands behind their backs, and pull it out of the water.
(slide 36) In Ukraine, a colony apple tree is known, a unique object and botanical attraction, ranked among the seven wonders of Ukraine. This phenomenon grows in the form of a bush, occupying an area of about ten acres. The peculiarity of the apple tree, called the princely apple tree by the locals, is that it has long lost its parent trunk, which has been replaced by tree branches that have taken root and given new shoots. Today there are 18 such branches-trunks with a diameter of up to 40 centimeters.
(slide 37) Surprising - but true! To one Japanese - Chisato Iwasaki managed to pick a fruit weighing 1.849 kg from a branch on October 24, 2005.
An apple will fall from a branch into the grass,
The hedgehog will find an apple from a branch.
The hedgehog will bring the apple home.
Grate baby hedgehogs on a grater
An apple helps you stay alert
Drives away blues and boredom
And how much pleasure do you get?
When you're apple pie
You'll eat it by both cheeks!
So isn't it magical?
When the whole world went crazy!
Both you and I admire him.
And it will always be like this, my friends!
(slide 39) The game “Apple Worm” is played. The holiday ends with a tea party with apple treats, as well as a tasting of the apples themselves.
(slide 40) I hope that today we have revealed the secrets of the apple, learned about the beneficial qualities of a long-known fruit, and are convinced of its importance for our health.

Apple as a universal symbol Apple is a symbol of bliss, restoration of potential, integrity, health and vitality. Represents love, marriage, spring, longevity or immortality. The apple is a forbidden fruit and a symbol of discord, a symbol of the dual nature of love between a man and a woman.
Slide 9
Apple as a symbol of the Fall “You will eat from every tree in the garden, but you must not eat from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, for on the day that you eat from it you will die.” It turns out that if a person followed God’s order and did not eat the forbidden fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (which is traditionally considered an apple, although the Bible itself does not say this), then he could become immortal
10 slide
Apple as a symbol of absolute truth In the myths of various peoples, these magical fruits are always called either simply “fruits” or specifically “apples”. “Paradise apples” in mythology appear in a variety of qualities, but it is always emphasized that they are a) magical; b) come from the Garden of Eden; c) usually gold; d) have a perfectly round shape. So why apples? No object directly related to the gods is mentioned so specifically or so often in mythology, and no other object receives so much attention as these famous apples.
11 slide
Three goddesses: Athena, Hera and Aphrodite argued over which of them was destined for the apple, and each argued her rights to it. Zeus, despite all his power, could not reconcile them...
12 slide
Apples as a symbol of eternal youth As we know from myths, all gods had immortality and were forever full of strength, healthy, young and beautiful (especially goddesses). Myths tell that the reason for this was their constant use of the divine elixir of immortality, called differently in the myths of different peoples: nectar, ambrosia, amrita, surya, and so on. But drinking this drink to achieve all these “divine” qualities was clearly not enough, since the drink only strengthened strength and bestowed immortality, but could not bestow eternal youth. What could it be? Of course, an apple.
Slide 13
Apples as a symbol of eternal youth in ancient Greek mythology According to the ancient Greek myth of Hercules, his most difficult feat in the service of Eurystheus was the last, twelfth feat: he had to find a golden tree at the edge of the earth, guarded by the sonorous Hesperides along with a hundred-headed dragon who never closed his eyes sleep, and get three golden apples that give eternal youth.
Slide 14
Apples as a symbol of eternal youth in Scandinavian mythology In Scandinavian mythology, the guardian goddess of rejuvenating apples is the goddess of spring and the wife of Odin’s son, the god of eloquence - Braga, Idunn, which means “renewer”. The hero who goes for apples is always young, strong, brave and beautiful; he uses the power of rejuvenating apples to help those in need and in the end he certainly receives a reward - true, mutual and beautiful love.
15 slide
Apples as a symbol of eternal youth in Slavic mythology In paradise gardens and groves, on shady trees, golden fruits (apples) ripen, giving eternal youth, health and beauty. Russian legend gives them the name rejuvenating, or youthful: you just have to taste these fruits, and you will immediately become young and healthy. It is on the apple tree that the firebird most often flies to peck at the golden apples. These fabulous fruits were often accompanied by living water
16 slide
The apple is a dual symbol, and it is associated with the worldview of ancient man. The ideally round shape of the apple was associated with ideas about the world, the Universe, and space. Golden delicate color, the “blush” of an apple - with beauty, health and youth. Smooth, satiny skin hiding a juicy fruit - with mystery and richness. Sweetness and aroma - with pleasure and pleasure.
Slide 17
Apples as a symbol of eternal youth in modern world“Scientists conducted many experiments with several varieties of apple trees and, during five years of research, grew apples that have rejuvenating properties. The aromatic, tasty and juicy variety is obtained as a result of changes in the molecular structure of apples. Scientists are confident that new rejuvenating apples can be provided to the entire population of the planet" (September 5, 2010, Argumenty.ru)

“An apple rolled on a saucer” “A pouring apple-golden saucer” They are always owned exclusively by the gods (or fairy-tale characters corresponding to them), and mortals receive them either as a gift (sometimes for temporary use) from the gods, or simply by chance.
Slide 19
The apple as the personification of the mystery of life and death The old name of the apple tree is “silver branch”, which comes from the belief that apples grow on silver branches in the underworld and have the property of immortality. Many peoples saw the apple as an extraordinary fruit - the fruit of the tree of life.

To find out whether the feelings of the heart are mutual, you need to choose the most appetizing apple and treat it to the object of your passion. If a lover or beloved eats this apple to the core, you can count on reciprocal feelings, eat it along with the middle - be young together. Well, if he refuses, doesn’t finish it, or worse, gives the apple to someone else - he doesn’t love and won’t love. As a love spell: - cut an apple in half and place a note inside with the name of your loved one, put it in the sun. Just as an apple dries in the sun, so a desired person dries out from love.

Apple as a symbol-amulet of the Mountain at night The wind flies around the mountain, bye-bye, The sun is melting over the mountains, bye-bye.” The leaves whisper tiredly, bye-bye, The apple fell with a loud sound, bye-bye, The mint stalk broke, bye-bye, crushed by a yellow apple, bye-bye. The sun sees off the month, bye bye, One walks through the flowers, bye bye.
