Today's recommended place for the baby is the Beijing Science Center. Write the key information first, and then you will listen to me.
It's free, you need to make an appointment online, and you need to bring your ID when you go. (Closed on Mondays and Tuesdays)
Convenient transportation: Located in Beijing Anhua Bridge, you will arrive after getting off the subway. There is almost no parking nearby, try to get to the metro.
Highly interactive: there are a lot of small scientific instruments, serious "play science". These interactive devices are also equipped with hand sanitizer next to them.
Interior infrastructure: There are many toilets and it is easy to find. Inside the museum, you will not get lost, the whole ring.
Children over the age of 6 are more suitable for "Building 2" and "Life, Life, Survival Theme Pavilion", which is known as "Sansheng Hall" and is the main exhibition hall. The exhibition hall on the first floor of Building 2 is the "Earth Circle Theme Exhibition" (the exhibition time is from April 22 to September 22, so you have to grasp it tightly. ）
Younger children can go to the Children's Center here, Building 4. Children's centres require separate appointments and are difficult to make. The Children's Center can only be booked for half-day tickets, and you can choose whether to morning or afternoon depending on the time. The Children's Center is also a building with 3 floors and four exhibition areas.
It should be noted that the children's center is cleared at noon. The Sanshengguan is not clear at noon, and it is no problem to visit for a day. You can bring your own food or order takeout and eat in the cafeteria (in a separate small building).
After the basic information is introduced, let's see what is interesting here. I took some pictures, but not all of them, so I'll use some photos on the Internet to illustrate them.
Beijing Science Center is a good place recommended to me by the mother of a child's classmate. I met her and took the baby with me for a visit.
After 4 hours of visiting, my children and I did not feel tired, probably because the children were visiting with classmates, and another important reason is that the scientific explanations here are mostly interactive and game-oriented, and the children will not feel bored and can operate by themselves.
Once the child has autonomy, he does not know the power at all. At the end of the day, the energy was completely exhausted, and I slept for 12 hours after returning home. It seems that it is not not tired, but it is too fun, and I do not understand tiredness.
When we went, many schools in Beijing were not yet on holiday. (We also just finished the exam and need to go back to school) In the morning, there were a little more people. Several schools organize students to study at science centers. At noon, the students from these organizations left, and even fewer people came.
Because there is a reservation limit, even if it is a summer vacation, the number of visitors should be OK and not too crowded.
Come play with me
When going out, I am always afraid that the child will play too crazy and spoil other people's things. Therefore, the child will be looked at very tightly, and the mouth will be busy shouting "don't move, don't move, look at it is broken." I always shout like this and I feel very embarrassed.
Here, there are signs inviting children to play with their hands. Hand sanitizer is available everywhere you can do it.
Just like the "Sea of Clouds" below, the sign reads "Reach your hand into the Sea of Clouds and feel its subtle changes." ”
The Sea of Clouds has three buttons to feel the landscape of the Sea of Clouds at dusk, sunrise and night.
Another example is this "contour sand table", combined with virtual reality technology, children can observe the changes in contour lines by moving hills, observing changes in rivers, hills, and vegetation.
If you want to take your children to feel the "beauty of mathematics", it is considered to be here, and there is a whole library here to stimulate children's interest in mathematics. Dozens of models are waiting for children to get started.
Magical science props
I don't know if you have ever seen the movie "Doraemon Nobita's Secret Prop Museum". The child enters the Science Center as if they were entering the Secret Props Museum, which has all kinds of magical science props.
There are especially many props in the meteorological museum, and children can make rainbows, tornadoes, sandstorms, undersea whirlpools, etc. through the props, and then understand the principles and the harm brought by natural disasters.
Children can also observe the moon with Galileo galilei with an astronomical telescope.
You can also ask the robot to fry you a kung pao chicken cube. There is also 3D printing.
Concretize complex knowledge
As soon as it was shown, it was clear
Something that someone else describes for half a day, you don't even know what he's talking about. When he took something and looked at it, wasn't it just such a thing? Some things are like this, things that can be understood at a glance, may not necessarily be explained.
There is a lot of scientific knowledge here, that is, this kind of clear and very difficult to say, but through the props to show the knowledge that can be understood at once. Take, for example, optical fiber.
And why did Newton think the earth was flat? There's a screen showing Newton and Cassini debating, and a barrage.
In addition to the on-screen instructions, there is a tool on the side that the child can shake by himself, and it is easy to understand why Newton thought the earth was flat.
How life is born, where plants go after they decay, what viruses look like, there is a lot of figurative knowledge here.
Knowledge about traffic safety, such as where the blind spot is for cars. I didn't take a blind spot, here's another picture.
How does the human brain change with age? There is also a balance next to it to weigh. Brain weighing, this is a very popular item for children.
"It was a lot of fun"
Children can embrace the earth with Magellan. The pillars are covered with a map of the world, surrounded by something resembling a Pythagorean device, and the child turns the wheels around, and the two small balls follow the set route.
This device can be played for more than half an hour.
Dragon like a doll-catching machine.
The inside of the Jiaolong is like this.
The system of filtering water has various obstacles in it, and the children imagine that they are water in it, squeezing through the obstacles inside one by one, and the clean water comes out. Does this large device that filters water have a little bit of the meaning of "magic school bus"?
The cultivation of scientific thinking
contrast. There are two identical stone lions, eroded by acid rain, and what is the difference between a lion that has undergone normal rain baptism?
hypothesis. How can we prove that the earth is round? If you think the Earth is square, put the square wooden block between the moon and the sun, and rotate the wooden block to imitate the rotation of the earth, you will see that the bright light formed on the moon is different from the shape of the crescent we usually see. So, the earth is not square.
"Rush, rush"
When the child enters an enclosed space, over time, he will feel as if the surrounding is a smaller and smaller boundary, oppressing him. At this time, he began to be irritable and wanted to go out and stretch his body.
There's a place in the Science Center where you can justifiably let your kids run.
Here's an instrument that measures running speed. Just press the button and run past the big screen, and the screen shows the speed of the run. The children ran again and again, and couldn't wait for the preparation time of 54321 on the screen, so they rushed out. The kids ran so crazy that the screens all crashed.
There are also some combinations of technology and sports like this, such as virtual fighting monsters, shooting, and so on.
That's it for today. Some people say that summer vacation is like a year for children. I think it makes a lot of sense. It is not that the child has to overtake in the corner this summer vacation, but it is said that the child's feelings are extremely large in such an extremely free time during the summer vacation. Many important and inspiring moments can happen during the summer holidays.
Finally, may the children have a full, fun, and not boring summer vacation.
