Students at Furong Middle School in Changjun harvest the space seed rice they have cultivated. Correspondents: Peng Xiaowen, Hu Xinyue, photo report
The teachers and students of the school bent down, held the sickle in one hand, and the rice stalk in the other hand to harvest the mature rice, feeling the joy of the harvest - recently, a unique "low cadmium rice" observation and harvesting activity was held in Chengyuan, Furong Middle School in Changjun. The harvest is not only the heavy ears of rice, but also the innovative results of the students trying to practice science and technology.
Dr. Lu Qiming, a researcher at the Hunan Hybrid Rice Research Center, walked into the school to explain the professional knowledge of "low-cadmium rice" planting and rice yield estimation methods to the children, and guided the children to carry out scientific experiments on rice yield measurement in the field.
On the first day of school, the school was presented with these space seeds
In Chengyuan, the students observed the growth of low-cadmium rice in detail and listened to the on-site explanation of Dr. Lu Qiming from the Research Institute of Hunan Hybrid Rice Research Center. Next, the students peeled the paddy from the ears and counted the paddies carefully. I saw that the first group, the second group and the third group, under the guidance of experts, summarized the total amount of rice in units of 10 grains, and calculated the final yield per mu in a more scientific way in the calculation of the yield per plant and the comparison of data from previous years.
Principal Xia Qin introduced that the purpose of this activity is to let students understand the planting and characteristics of "low-cadmium rice", and experience the hardships and fun of farming in the harvest. The students said one after another that they should cherish every grain of grain and not waste food, and at the same time, they should also work hard to learn modern agricultural science and technology knowledge and contribute their own strength to the mainland's agricultural development.
After school, this experimental area has also become a leisure space for students
The Hunan Academy of Agricultural Sciences previously donated the latest research results "low-cadmium rice" to Changjun Furong Middle School, and guided Changjun Furong Middle School to carry out scientific research simultaneously, so that Changfu students can approach or even participate in the most cutting-edge scientific research projects in the world today. With the latest low-cadmium hybrid rice developed in the laboratory as the carrier, the school organizes teachers and students to carry out low-cadmium rice theme scientific research projects, design real scientific research projects, and students participate in person, understand the basic knowledge of hybrid rice, and study the genetic characteristics of low cadmium accumulation in rice. Big hands join small hands to light up the dream of science.
Conduct relevant research under the guidance of a teacher
It is reported that Changjun Furong Middle School has formed a strong team of "doctors". From time to time, many top scientists and outstanding teachers in China are invited to the school to guide them, answer questions for students, and lead everyone to walk in the forefront of top scientific research. Popular science education and scientific research practice go hand in hand to educate future scientists.
