In 2023, the fourth phase of the Shunyi Science Journalist Quality Improvement Practice Activity was successfully held.
On November 11, the 2023 Shunyi Science Journalist Quality Improvement Practice Activity of "Scientific Exploration and Dream Voyage" entered the fourth phase, and this activity visited Beijing Science and Technology News and the Geological Museum of China respectively, with a total of more than 20 young reporters and their leading teachers participating.
Young science reporters visited Beijing Science and Technology News.
While visiting the Beijing Science and Technology Newspaper, the young science reporters listened to reporter Li Jing's introduction to the newspaper's various businesses and departments, and had a preliminary understanding of the whole process of a newspaper from research and interview, editing and proofreading to review and distribution. In addition, they also conducted news writing training in the conference room, learned how to edit materials, write outlines, etc., and began to have their first experience of editing and reviewing a news article.
The young science reporters entered the Geological Museum of China.
Subsequently, the young reporters came to the Geological Museum of China to visit the Xi.
Visit the Earth Hall and hear about the role of extraterrestrial dynamic motion.
At the entrance of the Earth Hall is a huge model of the rotating Earth, which mainly introduces the magnificent topography of the Earth under the action of internal and external forces.
Visit the Hall of Minerals and Rocks.
At the entrance to the Hall of Minerals and Rocks is a "wall" of azurite weighing several tons, and behind it are exhibits of various minerals classified according to natural elements, compounds, etc., from various crystals growing in the "wall" to ores of different shapes. During the visit, the docent reminded the young science reporters that minerals are unique, and it can be said that there are no two identical minerals in the world. The well-known idiom "orpiment" in the word "orpiment", and pyrite, which is known as "deceptive gold", are also displayed in this exhibition area.
Learn about the growth characteristics of crystals.
Coming to the gem hall, it was crowded with people, and the exclamations were endless. The light-chasing pillar on a small platform in the center is the most flashing, where a piece of "natural gold" weighing more than 7 catties is placed. It is flanked by a variety of gemstones and jade. Here, the young science reporters learned about gem identification, appreciation, cutting, genesis, distribution, and gemstone culture.
In the Wei's Zhunger pterosaur fossil exhibit, listen to stories about ancient reptiles flying into the blue sky.
In the paleontological fossil exhibition hall, which takes the major events that occurred in the process of biological evolution as clues, the common fossils in different geological periods show the process of the occurrence, evolution and extinction of organisms on the earth. The science reporter visited the paleontological fossil exhibition area of trilobites, cherythyosaurs, Weisz's Jungger pterosaurus and Chinese dragon birds, and learned about their survival methods and related scientific research achievements.
Young science reporters observe dinosaur egg fossils.
Although the day's itinerary was very tight, the young science reporters did not feel tired at all, and always maintained a high enthusiasm for scientific exploration, and asked various questions around the docent.
After the event, each young reporter will write a popular science work based on their own practical experience of the day, and tell the scientific knowledge they have learned Xi with the brushstrokes of a young science reporter, and spread what they have seen and felt on this popular science trip through their own, school, ** and other channels, so as to drive more "children" and "big friends" around them to talk about science, love science, learn science, and use science.
