On the last day of school in 2023, what kind of New Year's gift will make children miss for a long time?The children of Luwan Experimental Primary School affiliated to Shanghai Normal University received a "question mark" and an "exclamation mark".
This is what they learned from the Campus Science and Technology Festival and the 2024 "Science Education on Campus" orientation event. The "exclamation mark" is a magical observation experience from an entire campus and a full day. "Reed Switch + Magnet Circuit" treasure hunt, flight simulation, laser engraving, mecha master, AI spherical robot, inspection robot, electromagnetic maze "Crossfire" ......In addition to having fun at the science and technology fair, children of different grades also need to complete the construction of small technology productions such as paper circuits, clock robots, induction desk lamps, light-controlled fans, and obstacle avoidance sweepers.
"Question mark" is the trace left by the month-long campus science and technology festival in the hearts of children. "What are the good questions?"Why are there answers to some questions?Some questions have not been answered for thousands of years?Some questions can be answered by doing it yourself?Walking into the campus, two rows of electronic interactive screens form a "science and technology corridor". It inspires every child to use their brains, and also unveils a school-wide "Good Question Competition". Although they could not yet recognize all the Chinese characters, the children in Class 1 (1) gathered in front of the answering machine and carefully chose between the red and green buttons. "In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Liu Bei first sold what for a living?a.Pork bSandals. Sandals. I've heard this story!"Yay!Plus 10 points!Seeing the display on the big screen, the children cheered.
Why does my mother like to go shopping and often lose her direction?"Is it possible to directly copy the knowledge from elementary school to university to the brain of each student, so that you don't have to come to school every day?""Why are there so many stars in the sky?At today's closing ceremony, the children who asked good questions and helped their friends answer questions were awarded certificates. Gao Shihan, a girl in class four (8), feels that not only should she be able to ask questions, but if she can use her own brains to solve them, she will have a greater sense of achievement. She found that the straws on the Tetra Pak packaged milk carton were prone to falling off. It occurred to her that if she embedded the straw in the box and used a small paddle to block it, it would be much more stable. I tried a variety of schemes, and with the help of my cousin, who was in college, she made a model with 3D printing, and it worked!
I think it's more difficult to ask questions, and we need to observe and think about it often. "Zhang Muyun, a class five (2) boy, has a different point of view. He feels that he is the person who likes to think a lot - for example, when he thinks that his family lives on the 26th floor, he has always been very worried, what if there is an emergency, can he make an escape slide like an airplane?He likes to play with drones and wonders if he can draw a map of the green space himself. Fortunately, he has a father who is willing to accompany him to "cranky" and "straighten" the question mark, and the father and son work together to make their wish come true.
Looking at the light in the children's eyes, Principal Yu Yiling sent New Year's greetings to the children: "There may be problems that have not been solved, but I believe that with the spirit of challenge, innovation and cooperation, the answers to each question will eventually be found in your hands." ”
