Topic 3: How feels this or that?  How seems this or that?
     (Properties of the systems)
     Deli-Davai gave Emil a riddle: in a black box there is a small object.  What is it?
     (Emil asked the Sorcerer only three questions)....................................
 
     Draw a picture of inventive Emil

 
Properties are features of a system that can be changed.  One system can differ from the other one by properties.  For example, all the systems have a property to split into parts.

     Try to recognize by a description:

white, rectangular, small, leaves traces: ________________________

white, thin, crumple: _____________________

round, with a pattern, clinks and can be broken: _________________________

rectangular, soft, white, erase the traces of a pencil: _______________________

long, shine, sharp, solid: __________________________
 

     In order to solve all the riddles of the Sorcerer Deli-Davai, you have to remember about the changing properties of systems.
 
1.  The big ship "Great Britain" after repairs couldn't leave the dock.  Why?

2.  A man announced that on a certain day and at a certain hour he will cross the river Hudson "as if it is dry".  At the fixed time in the presence of crowds of   people he stepped into the water of the river in the widest point and twenty minutes later he successfully reached the opposite bank.  How did he manage to do that?

3.  What color is  "Stop-cock" in a plane?

4.  Very black, on one leg.  What is it?

5. Very black, on two legs.  What is it?

6. Very black, on three legs.  What is it?
 


     Shape


 
 

     This is a riddle designed by Pythagoras.
     Name the shapes that you saw.  Cut the shapes neatly.
 
 
 
 

             And now put the square together.
     Color

     There was quiet in the house.  Emil, tired of games and lessons, decided to go to bed early, about 6 o'clock and not to oversleep in the morning, he set  an alarm-clock at 7 o'clock as usual.  The night passed...   The alarm-clock  rang...   Emil jumped from the bed, got dressed.
     "How long have I been sleeping?" - Emil thought.
     And what do you think?....................................
 

     Emil woke up early in the morning, looked out of the window and saw a wonderful picture: a colorful yoke hanging over the river.  What is it?  -  Rainbow!

     -  What does rainbow consist of?
