"This is an intelligent temperature and humidity robot that I participated in the design, the temperature and humidity sensor on it can measure the temperature and humidity values in the air, and realize the voice broadcast ......" Zhang Zhen, a third-grade student, held a self-made robot and confidently introduced his work on the stage, receiving a round of applause from the audience.
On the afternoon of April 22, the opening ceremony of the 3rd Science and Technology Week of Guoan Road Primary School in Yangpu District, affiliated to Shanghai University of Finance and Economics was held in the school gymnasium. The event invited student representatives of science and technology interest clubs to the stage to display their achievements, and "showed" the charm of science.
Zhang Zhen is from the robotics club. This little girl with glasses and bangs is a "big expert" when it comes to playing with robots. When talking about infrared, LED and other topics, she is even more "eyes shining". She said that she joined the robotics club in the first grade, and the weekly club class was the most exciting moment for her.
"I really like to see our robots move, and I feel a sense of accomplishment!" Zhang Zhen said, "In the past two years of club learning, everyone has attended classes together every week, studied science and technology with the teacher, and gained a lot of knowledge." I seem to be a step closer to science. ”
Like her, there is also a third-grade student Pan Yifan. At the opening ceremony of the Science and Technology Week, he took the stage on behalf of the three-model community and showed the "roller coaster" he participated in the design and production with the help of a video. In his opinion, science and technology interest clubs are the best synonym for edutainment. "I've always been interested in model cars and boats, but I didn't expect the school to have such a club. I joined in the second grade and it was a lot of fun!"
The reporter learned that after the opening of the Science and Technology Week of Guoan Road Primary School, all grades of the school will successively carry out the "Flying Circle of Time and Space" - paper airplane competition, creative landslide car, "bridge of paper", solitaire and other competitions, and organize aviation science fiction paintings, aviation model display activities, and encourage students to approach science, understand science, and create science through rich and diverse forms and daily life as a medium.
At present, Guoan Road Primary School has set up a number of science and technology interest clubs according to the degree of difficulty, such as drone club, science and technology small production club, three-mode club, mind OM club, robot club, small carpenter club, etc., which is convenient for students of different ages and different levels of science and technology learning to participate. Nearly 40 students have signed up for the most popular club. In addition, the school has set up two science and technology classes per week, and students are also encouraged to participate in off-campus science competitions to bravely pursue their dreams of science and technology.
Science education is "taking off" on campus. In May last year, the Ministry of Education and 18 other departments jointly issued the "Opinions on Strengthening Science Education in Primary and Secondary Schools in the New Era", which shows the importance of science education in primary and secondary schools to improve the overall quality of students. After the start of the spring semester this year, the newly renovated science and technology corridor of Guoan Road Primary School was also officially opened, setting up keywords such as "artificial intelligence", "exploring the universe", "loving science" and "my Chinese core", exhibiting microscopes, physics models, robot models, animal specimens and other objects and text introduction boards, so that students can learn more scientific knowledge while passing through the corridor.
"The children can stay in the tech gallery after school. The school also put science and technology classes in the science and technology corridor, so that everyone can learn science more by hearing and seeing. Huang Anhong, the leader of the science and technology preparation team, said, "Children's interest in science needs to be cultivated from an early age, and we are constantly working this path. ”
