"Exploring the Popular Science Education Base" ｜ Shanxi Geological Museum: Breaking the Earth Code of Earth hundreds of millions of years ago

Children are visiting Shanxi Geological Museum.

The exhibits in the theme exhibition hall of "Fanghua Tianbao".

The Earth's rotation is much faster than now, with an average of more than 460 days a year; there is a very weak animal, but it can survive for 300 million years after several crises. The meteorite records the evolution process of billions of years of the solar system, and has an inestimable scientific research value ... If you are curious about nature, or you feel that you are full of trivial and troubles in life, then there must be a place to go, it can be available, it can be available, it can be available, it can be possible Time to take you through hundreds of millions of years, truly feel the magic of the history of the earth, the mystery of life evolution, and the charm of natural sciences. When you are in it, you will be full of awe, feel the smallness of yourself, and thus arise the power of life. On September 21, the reporter came to the only land collection research in our province. Geological specimen collections, display, land -learning knowledge promotion and popularization of the Natural Land Museum -Shanxi Geological Museum, opened the door of the mystery with the staff. Open a journey of exploration.

51,000 pieces of "babies" are full of cosmic romance

When you come to the east gate of the Shanxi Geological Museum, the first thing that refers to is the door stone located east of the square.

Some people say that looking at the stones is monotonous, but it is not. The staff of the Shanxi Geological Museum introduced: "If the history of human beings is written in books, then the history of the earth is written in a stone and hidden in a thick rock formation." This door stone is the Shanxi Geological Museum One of the boutique rock specimens, if you can understand it, you will basically understand the vicissitudes and history of Geological Vicenses and history experienced by Shanxi Crusade 2.5 billion years ago. At first glance, it is like a landscape painting, which outlines the lines of traveling clouds. Looking closely, rigidity and softness, relaxation, and giving people a clever artistic experience. It is difficult to imagine how to touch this stone and feel hundreds of millions of years.

In the museum's "crossing time and space" exhibition hall, various stones are also displayed, including specimens such as red quartz rocks, stone salt and stacked stones in Shanxi. These seemingly ordinary stones are not ordinary.

There are 4 theme exhibition halls in the Shanxi Geological Museum. In addition to the "crossing time and space" exhibition hall, there are three exhibition halls: "ancient species", "earth treasure" and "Wuhua Tianbao". Here you can not only see the shale that can be squeezed out of the "blue gold" from the stone seam, the "noble" aluminum mine in the soil, Fang Xieshi, "Thousands of Beauty", "Rainbow Falling on the World" tourmaline, "Hundreds of Great Change Big Great Characteria" "Graphite, you can also see Okoto's" Ocean Ocean "Zhendan Horing Stone, the most lovely fossil specimen of the parrot mouth dragon, and the vertebrate sea lily that has been sleeping for more than 200 million years. Of course, there are "Treasures of the Town Pavilion" Shanxi crocodile fossil specimen and 425 grams of dog head gold.

The Shanxi Geological Museum collects 51,000 treasures of rocks, minerals, paleomantic fossils, geological materials and mineral treasures around the world. Entering it, it seemed to open the magic treasure box.

The sun, moon and stars, the essence of the earth, is full of cosmic romance.

150 pieces of specimens tell a thrilling story

After watching the collections in the museum, follow the staff, and look at the outside of the museum.

On the south side of the East Square of the Shanxi Geological Museum, there is a garden called the "Jin Di Treasure" specimen garden. If you overlook the specimen garden from the air, you can find that its overall outline is similar to the Shanxi territory. In the corresponding position of Datong City, there is a set of stone views composed of 5 specimens. They have a common name -volcanic bullet. "Due to the huge power of volcanic eruption, the spraying out of the air was rotated by the action of air fluid during the air, and it would form bread, horny, twist, spindle -shaped, oval, gyro -shaped, pear -shaped and other shapes. If these flying objects are not completely solid before landing, they will fall into cake -like, cow dung or other irregular shapes when they come into contact with the ground. If the ground is very hard, these volcanic products may be fell 'pink bone broken bones' ... "Listening to the staff's introduction, I realized that the volcanic bullet was going to go through such a thrilling process. It was really reborn.

The specimen of the Shanxi Geological Museum shows a total of 150 specimens, weighing about 1,300 tons, including "Jinyun Treasure", "Jin Di Xing" and "Jin Di Time and Space". "Jinyun Treasure" shows rocks, ore, and paleontology specimens of each local city. The "Jin Di Star" partition shows the special mineral resource specimens and corporate cultural symbols of units, energy and mining companies related to natural resources. "Jin Di Time and Space" is based on the billions of geological changes in the three Jin Dynasty, which reflects the characteristics and evolution of rocks, ore, and paleontology formed by Shanxi from ancient times to the present. Among them, the "Stone Forest" within 6,000 square meters on the north side of the specimen garden shows the world and more than 40 strange stones from all over my country.

It can be said that a specimen is a story that spans time and space. The specimen garden fully and systematically shows the beauty of natural resources, and provides the public with popular science parks that integrate scientific popularization, leisure and entertainment, and cultural tourism.

Rich activity spreads vivid and interesting science

The "one hall, one garden" complement each other, becoming the bright pearl in the Shanxi Geological Museum.

In recent years, the Shanxi Geological Museum has worked hard to create a "Earth Bo popular science lecture hall", "small ground scientist" development plan, the "hear museum" series of popular science programs, "mysterious earth" mobile exhibition and other popular popularization brands. Good social effects. Among them, the "Little Earth Scholars" development plan project won the silver award of the 2nd Shanxi Youth Volunteer Service Project Contest; Top ten cases of "Shouzheng Innovation and Innovation and Telling Natural Resources"; "Mysterious Earth" Mobile Popularization Exhibition Entering Primary and Secondary Schools such as remote areas such as Lilan County, Louzhi County, Wuxiang County, etc., was rated as the "Provincial Museum in the Provincial Museum in the Provincial Museum. Primary School Education Demonstration Project ". According to reports, the Shanxi Geological Museum's "Little Earth Scholars" Development Planning Program Volunteer Service Project was launched in July 2018. It mainly led primary and secondary school students from 9 to 16 to carry out professional experience, research practice, expert lectures, and interactive research. Over the years, the project has adhered to the educational concept of "harvesting, sharing, and inheritance". By allowing young people to learn the knowledge of the land, understand the stories behind the specimen, experience the daily work of geologists, increase the knowledge of the land, stimulate the interest of scientific exploration, perceive scientific research Spirit. In the summer vacation of this year, a total of 41 "small local scholars" participated in various activities organized by the museum, including popular science lectures, special visits, manual activities, and field research. At the same time, each "small ground scientist" also provides a wonderful explanation for the museum audience. At the project completion ceremony, the Shanxi Geological Museum chief Shi Jianru sent these children: "I hope you can continue to carry the seeds of geological culture, carry forward the geological spirit, and use a unique perspective to spread geological knowledge and geological culture to more. people."

Let everyone understand science and make mysterious science more lively and interesting, maybe this is the true meaning of popular science. Reporter Zhang Xiaoli Taiyuan Evening News
