Five million people watch!The physics class of the Chinese Institute of Physics has reached the vibrato

Wei Hongxiang of the Chinese Institute of Physics:

Through Douyin, more wonderful places of physics spread

Almost everyone has heard Newton's story: one day Newton rests under an apple tree, and a cooked apple fell down and hit his head. Woolen cloth? Many years later, Newton thought about this problem and finally discovered the secrets of the earth: it turned out that everything followed the law of gravity.

This story is widely circulated, and it is still regarded as a "textbook" that is still enlightened by physical knowledge to this day. Instead of admiring Newton's genius, it is better to say that the physical spirit of the story shows this story, that is, curiosity and exploration desire. In this regard, the "Science 1 Hour" series of popular science courses launched by Douyin and the Chinese Institute of Physics coincides -physics is not only a test discipline, but also a door to understanding humans and the universe.

This summer, the "Chinese Institute of Physics" took a physical live broadcast course called "Science 1 Hour" on Douyin. From Zhou Siyi, Wu Yan and other Douyin Copa people, to Cao Zexian and Academician Xiangtao of the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, from the principle of leverage to Faraday's force line, from the theoretical framework of middle school physics textbooks to how to obtain the way of thinking of physicists, live broadcast It is not only in line with the knowledge of ordinary people, but also shines on the rational light that transcends the knowledge itself. Just as Wei Hongxiang, director of the Popularization Working Committee of the Chinese Institute of Physics and the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said: "Physics will affect the way you look at the world, see a question, you will ask why, and for existing statements, you will also maintain a prudent attitude ","

Wei Hongxiang is not only the initiator of the "Science 1 Hour" event, but also the lecturer of the eighth live broadcast course. He used the little knowledge of magnetic fields and mechanics to explain why people should learn physics and how to learn physics. They have attracted more than 1.1 million netizens to watch. Some people say that "the class should talk like Mr. Wei", some people say that Teacher Wei "integrates the physics of junior high school and high school together", and some people say that Mr. Wei showed "the charming star sea", but few people know that Wei Hongxiang Xiang Xiangxiang Indeed, he has been a physics teacher for a few years. Because of this, he always cares about his future and children's future.

Wei Hongxiang described "Why do young people learn physics" in the "Science 1 Hour" in Douyin live broadcast course

What does learning physics mean for young people? Why do you take a physics popular science course on the Douyin platform? Should we let the children see Douyin? Wei Hongxiang gave his answer.

The physical talent crisis has appeared

I started to do popular science in 2010. I studied blogs in the Chinese Academy of Sciences before. I did not do it one by one. Later, I stayed in work. I went to two scientific interest courses in elementary schools a week. For ordinary researchers, this is a very big challenge, because science popularization for elementary school students must first make them interested and understand. Secondly, the rhythm of class must meet their characteristics. For example Organize a class once, and make more experiments to chat. I have this experience because I have been a physics teacher in the junior high school for a few years. I have studied psychology and education. I am more familiar with schools and classrooms. I also feel that it is more important to cultivate children.

When I was a teacher, I had a strange phenomenon. I taught the four classes I taught last semester. I guess this is related to my teaching method. I never have textbooks in class, and I prefer to make a physical problem clearly from beginning to end, rather than letting students do questions mechanically. Now I still have this point of view. Learning physics well is that it is more important to let students have a way of thinking to solve problems, not just remembering a knowledge point, and then applying when doing questions.

At first go to school to do popular science, and I also hope that students can contact different people outside the question. Do not go to the teaching method of the school, I just provide an angle similar to the "auxiliary reading" other than the textbook, and tell you about the cutting -edge of science. I hope you should not be too resentment about physics in such a model.

Do "How to learn how to learn physics" for students of Beijing No. 101 Middle School students

Frankly speaking, we have really felt the crisis of talent in recent years. The graduate students of the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences must like to be physics, but sometimes the quality of students is declining. It was found that the quality of the original undergraduate was not high, because junior high school and high school were diverted. Many students have basically do not learn physics since high school. This is a very troublesome thing. Physics has a unique effect on cultivating a person to observe the world and thinking about problems. It is not conducive to the improvement of scientific literacy of the whole people. Of course, it is even more attractive to attract more people to engage in basic research.

This is why we must do popular science, especially in the face of parents and children. To be utilitarian jokes, if you do not have a major that you like, then learn mathematics or physics. The biggest advantage of learning these two courses is that in case you regret it, it is easy to transfer to professionalism, right?

Live broadcast is funny and interspersed knowledge

In recent years, the popular environment of popularization has become better and better. The Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and I am also trying to use new media to spread knowledge.

At first, I wrote a public account article, and then I started trying Douyin. At the beginning, the pink of physics was raised quickly. I also wrote a summary report specifically, saying that the number of powder rising for three months has caught up with the public account for several years. Later, for a long time, our data was always stagnant, because the thirty seconds were too short. Even if we opened our permissions later, we can talk about one minute or three minutes. We still feel that it is not complete. It wasn't until Douyin started broadcasting a public class that we felt that new opportunities appeared. One is that the audience of Douyin is relatively large. After the live broadcast, we can also spread a complete knowledge. Then there is the material that the live broadcast can provide short videos. It's easier to say.

After the "double reduction" policy last year, the students had a lot of time, but the school's teachers' reserves could not provide high -quality extracurricular teaching content. content. It happened that platforms like Douyin are also committed to the spread of knowledge. Then I think no matter how I go offline to encourage students to see, there is no wide area involved in the platform, so it has contributed to this cooperation. This is a win -win situation. It can enrich the reserves of the scientific content of Douyin, and we can also have better communication effects.

Of course, some parents still can't turn around, and leave a message saying that they resolutely oppose the children to see Douyin. I said you are really too old. You look at the children too much. He doesn't look at it in person, it is impossible to look at it at all. In this case, you might as well guide him what is optimistic. So in addition to the student group, our live broadcast is also for parents, and education also needs their support.

It is important to watch the scientific live broadcast. I feel that there is too much nonsense when I watched such live broadcasts before, and it was a bit wasteful. Now I have gradually accepted this, and some knowledge and methods are interspersed in chatting, and it may not be bad. Several doctoral students interact with several middle school students to chat with each other.

To do knowledge category, there must be a certain degree of tolerance

The times are changing, and the reading habits of adolescents are also changing. If our popular science target is them, they should indeed adapt to their characteristics. For example, we are not good at short videos, it is also a trend to spread physical knowledge, because it is very intuitive. When explaining a certain experiment, we can make up for the disadvantages that can be described in the mouth or writing with a pen. It is just that we still need to adjust, and we need to find a model that is more conducive to communication.

Like the live broadcast of "science for one hour" this time, we are a good attempt. When you can see different tutors, there will be different sparks when facing the corresponding audience. For example, some lecturers are not in -depth from a professional perspective, but the live broadcast data is particularly good, which shows that he can attract a specific audience. This also reminds me to have a certain tolerance for the live broadcast of knowledge.

Douyin was originally a platform for young people. Whether it is the Institute of Physics or the Physical Society, my purpose is to let the young people let go of their hands and feet. Our post -60s and post -70s say that it is not necessarily a good thing.

Of course, then again, it is not easy to do science science for scientific researchers. It is necessary to be rigorous in scientific research. A bunch of attributives need to be added in front of a term. Therefore, it is easy to leave a bad impression of showing up and exaggerating their peers. This is why we need to cooperate with Douyin in the form of organization, because this can reduce the psychological burden of some people, so that young scientists can not worry about in the future without concern Participate in popular science. As for my personal, I do n’t care if I do it if I do it. I do n’t care about it.

Wei Hongxiang reports in the scientific cafe

I have been in the world of physics for thirty years. It is difficult to describe the philosophical or poetic of physics, and it is difficult to pull out the influence of physics on itself. Some inspiration.

Once I participated in the event, the sound and picture of the projection could not be synchronized. My first reaction was that the ground was grounded. The staff could not find the line that could be replaced. , Sure enough. This is the common sense and thinking of physics. Its beauty is not whether it can be a physicist, but whether it can find a problem and propose a solution.

In the future, I hope to spread more about the beauty of more physics through Douyin. If there is a chance, we may also let the live broadcast go out of the classroom, take a look at the laboratory, and take a look at the interior of the collision -this is not in a hurry, let's take it slowly.
