Learning While Playing, They Are Weaving Scientific Dreams for Children

Many primary and secondary schools have relocated the first science education lesson outside the school to places such as science and technology museums, botanical gardens, and rural areas. Children can more truly perceive the magic and beauty of science in close contact. They "learn while playing" in these scenarios, intuitively experiencing the charm of science. When the knowledge in textbooks becomes vivid and perceptible, the education-through-entertainment approach stimulates children's creativity. Science popularization workers are exploring ways to enhance science education. In Shandong Science and Technology Museum, counselors like Jia Xueyuan offer detailed explanations. They believe that science popularization interpretation is not simple "knowledge feeding" but requires high "business internal skills". They discuss how to make knowledge interesting and increase interaction with children. Science and technology museums are "schools without walls". Many museums are integrating venue resources with schools. In Jinan Yuxian Middle School, teachers use museum resources for teaching. Students' scientific literacy has improved. The science popularization van project in Shandong takes science resources to remote areas. It brings "science feasts" to children in rural and remote places. Science popularization workers are making efforts to plant the seeds of science for the future.#tech #teenager #education
