Qianlong.com News: On the occasion of the second "National Ecological Day", the Nature Exploration Project of the Science and Technology Teaching Department of the Beijing Children's Palace organized 20 families to visit the Beijing Science Center, China Agricultural Museum and the National Natural History Museum from August 13 to 15, and carried out a public welfare parent-child study activity with the theme of "Science Illuminates Dreams".
A wonderful journey from Earth to the universe
Campers visit Beijing Science Center
Small Ball Big World Classroom "What is an Earthquake?"
At the Beijing Science Center, the children first participated in the "Small Ball, Big World" course. Through holographic projection, they observed celestial bodies such as the Earth, Mars and Mercury, and gained an in-depth understanding of geological changes, ocean currents, climate and earthquakes. The children made an "earthquake alarm" by themselves, which not only exercised their innovative thinking, but also deepened their understanding of the principles of earthquake early warning. In the "China Depth" deep-sea exploration exhibition area, the children were deeply attracted by the 1:1 interactive model of the "Struggler" 10,000-meter manned submersible. This achievement not only broke the record of my country's manned deep diving, but also contributed Chinese wisdom to the development of global abyss science. Entering the 27-meter-diameter dome special effects theater, the children explored the orbits of celestial bodies in the universe and understood the docking process of spacecraft and space stations, which inspired their dreams of China's spaceflight.
In-depth exploration of agricultural civilization and ecological protection
China Agricultural Museum Science Class "One Leaf Knows the Four Seasons"
Outdoor Exploration of China Agricultural Museum
At the China Agricultural Museum, the campers visited the Agricultural Civilization Exhibition and the outdoor farm garden, which vividly displayed China's long agricultural history and culture. The children learned that farmers have accumulated rich experience in the struggle with nature from ancient times to the present, and created unique agricultural techniques and tools. In the "One Leaf Knows the Four Seasons" theme course in the Science and Education Hall of the Agricultural Exhibition Hall, the children learned about the characteristics of different types of leaves and made "leaf vein bookmarks" by hand, which improved their hands-on ability and artistic expression. In Houhu, the campers followed the teacher to observe plants and birds, learn ecological knowledge, observe common birds in Beijing such as mallards and mandarin ducks, and feel the beauty and magic of nature.
Natural Observation and Scientific Inquiry
Children's Palace's natural exploration outdoor classroom expands to the Natural History Museum
Campers visit the National Museum of Natural History on Ecology Day
At the National Museum of Natural History, the children embarked on a learning journey full of knowledge and fun. The teachers explained in detail the observation methods of plant green maps in the outdoor garden. The children listened carefully and asked questions actively, learning how to scientifically observe and record the growth characteristics of plants and animals. After mastering the basic observation methods, the campers went to the Animal and Friends Exhibition Hall and the African Pavilion for field observation, got close to animal and plant specimens, learned about their living habits, and recorded their findings in observation notes. Finally, they gathered in the Exploration Corner to display and exchange their observation results and exhibition experience.
Expert guidance and parent involvement: a journey of growing together
Campers were awarded study certificates
This public welfare parent-child study tour is free of charge. The campers led by Ma Hongmei, a senior teacher at the Children's Palace, are all registered students of the Children's Palace, and parent volunteers actively participate in the whole activity. Compared with previous years, the activity emphasizes group cooperative learning more. For the first time, the venue's existing study guide resources are used. The school and the family jointly compile the study task list to extend the science classroom to the venue. Zhao Ran, deputy researcher of the Beijing Science Center, Wu Wei, deputy researcher of the Social Education Department of the China Agricultural Museum, and Zhao Liang, teacher, Jin Miao, deputy director of the Science Education Department of the National Natural History Museum, Wang Cen, head of the "Nature Observer" of the Little Academician, and Zhu Jiang, a retired senior teacher of the Municipal Palace, and other expert teachers participated in the event to broaden their horizons, inspire ideas, and issue study certificates.
Practice and exploration of educational concepts
This activity is part of the Beijing Children's Palace summer camp, and is also another successful exploration of implementing the Ministry of Education's "Opinions on Strengthening Science Education in Primary and Secondary Schools in the New Era". For many years, the Children's Palace has insisted on the integration of five educations, and through cooperation with museums, it has organized a variety of scientific research activities. In the future, the Children's Palace will continue to strengthen the combination of professional practice and social practice, let science light up children's dreams, and promote collaborative education between home, school and society.
