But schools were not always there, and not in the form in which they are now. What is the history of the school and what features do schools have? different countries?
1. The modern word “school” comes from the Greek “scole”, which originally meant “leisure”.

3. In the 8th - 4th centuries BC, due to the fact that there was a tense atmosphere around and there were wars everywhere, an absolutely unique method of education was created in Sparta.
In one of his works, Aristotle says: “In Lacedaemon, almost the entire education of youth and almost the entire system of laws is adjusted to military purposes.”


Even at the age of an infant, he was not allowed to be swaddled or covered. It was left in the sun, rain and wind. Over time, when the child began to grow up, he was weaned off all fears. From infancy, Spartan children were taught military bearing.
The first stage of boys' education was considered to be between 7 and 15 years of age. The main task During this period of time, the development of the ability began to allow one to overcome life difficulties, in addition, cultivating in oneself the basic moral qualities of a real warrior: self-control, courage, composure.

Most of the knowledge acquired at school will never be useful to us. Most We will never even remember most of this. And yet some crumbs of “useless” information will remain in memory. Paradoxically, it is thanks to them that we feel educated people. The luxury of keeping in mind not only vital information, but also “information surplus” increases self-esteem and gives a feeling of intellectual competence.

And “unnecessary information” surprisingly turns out to be the most interesting. This interest can become for children a magic key to the vast world of science, which is often hidden behind boring formulas and incomprehensible definitions.

In this article, we have collected nine scientific facts that can be used in mathematics, physics, geography, chemistry and biology lessons to clearly show: science is not something abstract from real life, but the situations we face every day.

Fact No. 1. On average, an ordinary person travels a distance equal to three Earth equators in his life

The length of the equator is approximately 40,075 km. Multiplying this figure by three, we get 120,225 km. With an average life expectancy of 70 years, we get about 1,717 km per year, which is a little more than five kilometers per day. Not that much, but it adds up to a lifetime.

On the one side, practical application this information does not have. On the other hand, it is much more interesting to measure the distance traveled not in meters, steps or calories, but in equators. And calculating the percentage of the length of the equator will attract attention not only to geography, but also to mathematics.

The following two facts may also be useful in mathematics lessons. Using the first, you can calculate the number of children in a parallel or even in an entire school born on the same day.

Fact #2: If there are 23 random people in a room, then the probability that two of them will have the same birthday is more than 50%.

And if you bring 75 people together, then this probability reaches 99%. There can be a 100% chance of a match in a group of 367 people. The probability of a match is determined by the number of pairs that can be made from all the people in the group. Since the order of people in pairs does not matter, total number such pairs are equal to the number of combinations of 23 by 2, that is, (23 × 22)/2 = 253 pairs. Thus, the number of couples exceeds the number of days in a year. The same formula calculates the probability of coincidences for any number of people. This way you can estimate the number of children born on the same day in a parallel school or even in the entire school.

Fact No. 3. The number of living organisms in a teaspoon of soil is greater than the entire population of our planet.

One square centimeter of soil contains billions of bacteria, fungi, algae and other organisms. About 60 million bacteria live in just one gram of dry soil. There are significantly fewer nematodes, or roundworms (the most famous of which are roundworms and pinworms) in the same amount of soil - only 10 thousand. A figure incommensurate with the human population, but no less unpleasant for that.

Practical application of information: Wash your hands thoroughly after caring for your indoor plants, as well as after working in the garden or vegetable garden. An area of ​​increased bacterial danger is the sandbox on any playground.

Fact #4: The average toilet seat is much cleaner than the average toothbrush.

The bacteria on your teeth live at a density of about 10 million per square centimeter. The amount of bacteria on the skin varies depending on the part of the body, but in any case it is much less than in the mouth.

But there are no bacteria on the skin of frogs at all. The reason for this is the mucus secreted by the frog and containing strong antibiotics. This is how frogs protect themselves from the aggressive bacterial environment of the swamps in which they live.

A person is much less adapted in this regard, so it is recommended to change toothbrushes every couple of months.

Fact No. 5. In the evening, a person becomes 1% shorter compared to his “daytime” height

Under load, our joints tend to compress. With a normal lifestyle, by the evening a person’s height decreases by 1-2 cm, which is approximately 1%. The decrease is short-lived.

The maximum reduction in height occurs after weightlifting. Changes in height can be three or more centimeters. This is due to compaction of the vertebrae.

Fact #6: Diamonds can be produced from peanut butter using very high pressure.

Scientists from the Bavarian Research Institute of Geophysics and Geochemistry tried to simulate in the laboratory the conditions of the Earth's lower mantle, where at a depth of 2,900 kilometers the pressure is 1.3 million times higher than atmospheric pressure. During the experiment, some innovative ways diamond production. According to one hypothesis, diamonds are formed from carbon under the influence of very high pressure. Carbon is found in almost all foods. And since the researchers only had peanut butter on hand, they tried it. Unfortunately, hydrogen, which is bound to carbon in peanut butter, slows down the process significantly, taking several weeks to produce even a small diamond. Thus, scientific thought proves that the most incredible transformations are quite possible.

Fact No. 7. The height of the Eiffel Tower can change by 12 centimeters depending on the air temperature

An iron rod 300 meters long lengthens by 3 mm with increasing temperature environment by one degree.

This is exactly what happens with the Eiffel Tower, which is approximately 324 meters high.

In hot sunny weather, the iron material of the tower can heat up to +40 degrees, and in winter in Paris it cools down to approximately 0 degrees (severe frosts are rare there).

Thus, the height of the Eiffel Tower can fluctuate by 12 centimeters (3 mm * 40 = 120 mm).

Fact #8: A typical microwave oven uses much more energy to keep its built-in clock running than it does to reheat food.

While in standby mode, a modern microwave uses approximately 3 watts per hour. Already 72 W per day comes out, and if we multiply this number by thirty days, we get an energy consumption of 2160 W per month.

If we assume that we use the microwave every day for 5 minutes, we get 150 minutes or 2.5 hours per month. Modern stoves consume about 0.8 kW/hour in heating mode. It turns out that with this use, the energy consumption directly for heating food is 2000 W. If you purchase a more economical model that consumes only 0.7 kW/hour, we get only 1.75 kW per month.

Fact No. 9. The first computer mouse was made of wood

Sometimes we are just curious to know the fate of the objects that we use every day.

A computer mouse in our usual design was introduced to the world in 1984 by Apple. Largely thanks to her, Macintosh computers became incredibly popular. But this small but such a necessary device begins its true history 20 years earlier.

In 1964, engineer Douglas Engelbart from Stanford developed a manipulator to work with operating system oN-Line System (NLS). Initially the device was a wooden box self made with two wheels inside and a button on the body. After some time, the device appears with a third button, and a couple of years later Engelbart receives a patent for his invention.

Then Xerox comes into play, but its modification computer mouse costs about $700, which does not at all contribute to its mass distribution. And only Steve Jobs’ company is able to develop a similar device with a cost of 20-30 dollars, which was included in daily life billion people.

Interesting facts for children are very popular. After all, kids constantly need food for their minds. It is often for this reason that they are called “why girls.” They want to know everything, and they ask thousands of questions.
