Weiru’s Half Day in Huanghua Primary School as a Teacher

On May 31th, Weiru got involved in the activity to popularize environmental scientific knowledge to primary students, which was organized by Huanghua Primary School. That was a sunny day and kids were super cute that they put on performances including taekwondo, sing and poetry recitation. They were so brilliant that I could ignore the intense heat of summer.

Based on the story of DDT, Weiru designed a 剧本杀 game to let the students experience the whole process of scientific research, including pointing out the problem, designing sampling campaign, lab work and even putting forward controlling measurements. It was far beyond our imagination that kids at their age could easily clarifying the meaning of POPs, biodegradation and extraction (feeling proud of them!). I am more convinced that China’s scientific research will have a bright future!

Kids under the sun and buildings with pretty paintings.

Amazing taekwondo performance.

He was answering the question about how to select a representative sampling site.

They were all very concentrated and enthusiastic.
