Conclusion
In the geographical position of Africa and Australia, there are more differences than similarities. Similarities: Both continents are washed by the waters of the Indian Ocean (Africa from the east, Australia from the west); Both continents in the southern part are crossed by the southern tropic, which indicates the presence of a hot and dry climate on the continents. Differences: Africa in relation to the equator lies in two hemispheres (northern and southern), Australia in one (southern); Africa, relative to the prime meridian, lies in two hemispheres (western and eastern), Australia in one (eastern hemisphere); Africa is washed in the west by the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, Australia in the east by the waters of the Pacific Ocean.

Abel Janszoon Tasman, Dutch navigator, explorer and merchant. He received worldwide recognition for the sea campaigns he led in 1642-1644. In the middle of the 17th century, he described the coasts of the continent from Cape York to the Southern Tropic. Tasman proved that Australia is an independent continent. At that time it was called New Holland.

History of the discovery of Australia

Australia was discovered by an English explorer James Cook. He made his discovery during circumnavigation in 1770

The name "Australia" appeared on maps several centuries before this continent was discovered. Assumptions that there must be a huge continent in the Southern Hemisphere were expressed by the ancient Greeks. But since no one knew anything reliable about the existence of this southern continent, its contours were depicted on the maps very approximately, and the signature near this blurry spot read: "Terra Australis Incognita".

Translated from Latin, this means: "Unknown South Land." This unknown land took up a lot of space on the map. It was believed that in the southern parts of the three oceans: the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian - there is the largest continent of the Earth, the area of ​​\u200b\u200bwhich exceeded the total area of ​​\u200b\u200ball the continents known by that time

Reporting the topic and objectives of the lesson

(Slide 1)

We will conduct today's lesson under the motto "Journey continues" we have to get acquainted with the new mainland. This mainland is Australia. We will learn about how the mainland was discovered, get acquainted with the peculiarities of the geographical position and nature of Australia.

Planning of educational activities

On the example of Africa, we learned different types of work. Now you will work more on your own. For the next 3 lessons, you will act as explorers of Australia. To do this, I will give you special research diaries that you will fill in as you explore the mainland. And the last lesson of the study of Australia, we will conduct in the form of a research report. Today you only need the first page of the diary.

So. Begin.

Where does the study of the mainland begin? Of course since its opening.

(Slide 3) Student's message

“Even ancient scientists assumed that an unknown land exists south of the southern tropic. In the 16th century, cartographers depicted on maps and globes a huge “Unknown Southern Land”

In 1606, the Spaniard Torres discovered the northernmost tip of the mainland and the strait separating it from New Guinea. Later this strait was named Torres. In the first half of the 17th century, the Dutch discovered the northern and western coasts and named this land New Holland.

In 162-43, Abel Tasman went around New Holland along the northern, western and southern coasts. He discovered the island that was then named Tasmania and proved that it was a special continent.”

(Slide 4.) Teacher's words

The English navigator James Cook completed the discovery of the mainland in 1769-70. On the ship Endeavor, he went around the coast of New Zealand, establishing its island position, and explored the strait between the North and South Islands, discovered the Great Barrier Reef and the east coast of Australia, which he declared a British possession (under the name New South Wales). K. passed through the Torres Strait to the west to Java and, having rounded the Cape of Good Hope, returned to England in 1771, having circumnavigated the world in a westerly direction.

(Slide 5) Student's message:

“From the end of the 18th century, the development of Australia began. At first, the British government exiled criminals there. As a colony of convicts, the city of Sydney arose. The study of the hinterland began with the search for pastures and water for the livestock of the settlers. The most famous are such researchers as Leichhardt, who explored the north of the mainland. Robert Burke and James Stewart traveled in the central regions, Forest and Giles explored the southwest. As a result of these studies, not only water and pastures were found, but also the richest deposits of gold. England declared the entire mainland its colony.”

(Slide 6) Teacher's story on the background of the slide show

What is this continent?

Australia is a special continent. He is the smallest. It occupies only 6% of the land. For its size it is sometimes called the mainland-island.

Australia is the lowest continent - 13% above 500m. above sea level.

Australia is the driest continent. ? surface lacks moisture.

This is the only continent where there is not a single volcano.

Australia is the most secluded of the inhabited continents of the Earth. This is the mainland - the reserve. Almost? plant species and 90% of animals are endemic, that is, they are found only on this mainland. And it was opened almost later than all.

This is such an interesting continent.

In the second part of the lesson, we will try to answer the question - where is Australia located. But before a long journey, we need to warm up.

(Slide 7) PHYSMINUTE.

(Slide 8) So, where is this mysterious continent located? How can we answer this question? (need to determine mainland GP)

In your leaflets, the second item is “determination of the GP of the mainland and its coastline”

We will work in groups.

Group 1: determines the position of the mainland on the world map, its extreme points and extent.

Group 2: will determine the oceans and seas washing the mainland and the climatic zones in which it is located.

Group 3: determines the position of the mainland relative to other continents and its coastline.

You have 5 minutes for this activity. Then a representative of each group will report on the work done.

What did we get. Let's listen to the representatives of each group and check their research using a computer.

Representative of the 1st group. ( Explains with a map, then checks on slides 9, 10)

Representative of the 2nd group . (Explains with a map, then checks on slide 11)

Representative of the 1st group. (Explains with a map, then checks on slides 12,13)

You have completed the task. It remains for us to consolidate the acquired knowledge by doing practical work.

Slide 14 Practical work
