From Li Bai's "Hours Do Not Know the Moon, Called white jade plate" to the mid-Autumn Festival Chang'e Running Moon story, as a planet visible to the human eye, children are not strangers since childhood. Under the vigorous development of the aerospace industry, we and our children often see information about lunar exploration on TV, and children often ask about the popular science knowledge of the moon, but I lack knowledge of this piece of knowledge in the world, coupled with the fact that popular science knowledge is difficult to understand, how can I better say it to worry about my old mother.
So why popularize space knowledge, first of all, the children's own interests, followed by the country's 14th Five-Year Plan and the long-term goal of 2035, which will vigorously develop a number of cutting-edge technologies such as aerospace technology as a strategic direction. Grasp the national policies and directions to prepare for the future of your children.
So why should we first understand the moon, because the moon is the first planet visible to the human eye, and the story about the moon is not unfamiliar to children, more importantly, human beings have explored the moon the most, is the first alien planet landed by humans, and is also a transit station for human beings to the sea of stars. And human exploration of Mars, and even other planets in the future, is also inseparable from the moon. It can be said that the moon is a "springboard" for human beings to go to deep space, and there is enough knowledge about the moon to make children more confident to explore the secrets of the vast universe.
Fortunately, I saw this set of books in the "Take Me to the Moon" series, which tells the past and future of the moon from shallow to deep, there are more than a hundred interesting core knowledge points in the book, a set of books will talk about the moon thoroughly, can guide children to look up at the stars, imagine. Let human beings explore the unknown world endlessly, igniting children's eternal curiosity and interest in scientific inquiry.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >01 story science</h1>
Is the Moon a child of Earth and another planet?
Why doesn't the moon fall?
How do I make a Lunar Raider?
What does it look like to see the Earth on the Moon?
Is the moon getting farther and farther away from us?
How to better let children receive knowledge, of course, is storytelling. The first book of the "Take Me to the Moon" set of books, "I Want to Go to the Moon", uses a first-person tone, from the perspective of a child, through the daily interaction with the father of an aviation worker, telling about the birth of the moon, changes, moon phases, topography on the moon, etc., as well as the path of human exploration of the moon.
Unlike other popular science books that introduce knowledge in a sloppy manner, because learning knowledge in this way is actually meaningless and cannot be remembered. Through the combination of a story line and a popular science knowledge line, the book turns popular science knowledge into a storyline, so that children can easily have a comprehensive understanding of the relevant knowledge of the moon.
For example, the book mentions Chinese stories related to the moon such as Chang'e Flying Sky, Mid-Autumn Festival Moon Viewing, Qiantang River Tide Viewing, etc., interspersed with popular science knowledge in these stories, so that children can understand the moon from all aspects of life, and also help children connect space knowledge with their own lives, so that they can truly feel the charm of space science and technology, and inspire them to think and learn with problems.
One of the fragments is very lifelike, the child and the father "want to go to the moon to sleep, because the moon night is particularly long", and the father said "although the night of the moon is long, it is not comfortable, because the moon's day and night temperature difference is very large, the lowest can be as low as -180 ° C" Such daily interaction of life, all of a sudden let the child understand the temperature of the moon, day and night and other knowledge points.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >02 The painting style is exquisite and shows Chinese characteristics</h1>
This set of books not only pays attention to knowledge and interest in text, the illustrations are also extremely careful, the book uses A4 large open, many of which are whole cross-page compositions, and a single page is a picture scroll. It should be known that the painter of this book, Jiu Yaguang, won the second prize in the poster design of the second "China Space Day", and the "Take Me to Space" series, which was previously cooperated with Guo Lijuan, the author of this "Take Me to the Moon" series, won the 2019 Laurel Children's Book, the 2019 National Excellent Popular Science Works, and the 2019 Influential Picture Book.
Of course, this book also has Chinese characteristics, such as painting the life situation of watching the tide of the Qiantang River and enjoying the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, the picture is beautiful, and it has a unique chinese life atmosphere, which is a good integration of popular science knowledge into life.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >03 science knowledge authority</h1>
A popular science book in addition to good looking and easy to understand is not enough, the most important thing is that the popular science knowledge in it should be authoritative, can withstand scrutiny, to know that the child's world is a blank piece of paper, if you just instilled the wrong knowledge, it is easy to let the child go in the wrong direction.
Guo Lijuan, the author of the "Take Me to the Moon" series, is a senior editor of the children's edition of the 208 "Military Digest" of the Second Academy of Aerospace Science and Industry of China, who has a rich background in aviation knowledge itself, and after two years of repeated polishing with the painter Jiu Yaguang, carefully compiled and drawn, and invited a number of experts in the field of aerospace, as well as "Uncle Mars" Zheng Yongchun and other professional reviews, this set of books was presented to all young readers. After publication, it was recommended by many aviation people and is an aviation science picture book recommended by the China Aviation Foundation.
The little boy in the story listened to his father's popular moon knowledge, and made a lunar strategy by himself, we may wish to use this method in the process of telling popular science knowledge, so that children can learn to take the initiative to think, take the initiative to explore, only continuous exploration, the dream will be closer and closer.
Finally, the book should attach the human path to the moon, presented in a timeline, making it easier for children to remember, while the illustrations restore the true appearance of the detector and ensure scientificity.
After reading this set of "Take Me to the Moon" book, I and my children look at the full moon in the sky, it feels different, on the night of the full moon, it seems that you can clearly see the dark moon sea on the moon, the bright moon land, no longer just feel that it is a "white jade disk", this is the charm of knowledge, when we know more knowledge, we can inadvertently connect with other knowledge, bring us different imagination space and aesthetic experience, so that ordinary life is full of more charm.
The moon is closely related to us, as a "springboard" for human beings to go to deep space, starting from a comprehensive understanding of the moon, planting a seed of exploring the starry sky in the hearts of children.
