passing through the "time-space tunnel" full of technology, the children closely experienced the powerful capabilities of the earth system numerical simulation device "huan". during the 2024 national science popularization day activities, on september 19, the beijing municipal ecology and environment bureau's science popularization day activities kicked off at the institute of atmospheric physics, chinese academy of sciences. a series of ecological environment science popularization activities will be held in beijing in the near future.

conventional experimental methods are not enough to study the earth. scientists usually use two methods: observation or numerical simulation. huan is a "digital earth" that puts the earth into a laboratory. this is the only large scientific device in my country that is dedicated to climate research and integrates hardware and software. it can serve major national needs such as responding to climate change, the "dual carbon" vision goals, and disaster prevention and reduction. with the help of the "silicon cube" supercomputer as the "brain", the device can simulate the changes in the world.

at present, global warming and the climate events that follow are closely related to the increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. in the science exhibition area, the children continued their "carbon" exploration journey, showing the physical and chemical properties of carbon dioxide through interactive sessions such as on-site experiments and simulation games, and revealing the real causes of climate change and other popular science knowledge.

"the teacher just said that too much carbon dioxide emissions would make the earth as hot as if we covered it with ten layers of quilts." after participating in this event, ma zihan, a fifth-grade student at miyun experimental primary school of beijing yuying school, said that he would reduce carbon dioxide emissions through his own actions in the future to make the earth greener and healthier.

during the science day, the beijing ecology and environment bureau will organize and mobilize environmental protection facilities and ecological environment education bases to carry out a series of science activities with the theme of "inheriting the spirit of scientists and improving environmental science literacy". on september 20, at the beijing bishui recycled water plant science base, the public will be able to explore and understand the magical process of sewage changing from turbid to clear and becoming the city's second water source; from september 21 to 22, huaxin green source environmental protection co., ltd. will carry out science day activities, and the public can visit the entire process of electronic waste dismantling up close and gain an in-depth understanding of the formal electronic waste treatment process; beijing zoo, hanshiqiao wetland and other environmental education bases will also organize exhibitions and science lectures around the theme of animal protection from september 21 to 22.
