National Gwacheon Science Museum Recruiting Youth Online Science Education Program Participants

Video and Live Learning on the Topic of 'Scale' for Grades 3-6 and Middle School Students

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-su] The Gwacheon National Science Museum will start an online summer vacation education program for elementary school students in grades 3 to 6 and middle school students from July 3rd.

The program consists of two types: a self-directed experiential type (total 2 courses), where students use materials delivered to their homes in advance to watch posted lesson videos and learn independently during the vacation period (August 3?20), and a real-time SW practice type (total 2 courses), where students receive live guidance from instructors to learn software (SW).

The theme continues from the spring semester as "Scale." In particular, it focuses on "tools" such as hydrometers, hygrometers, and scales. For the self-directed experiential courses, elementary students in grades 3?4 will make a hydrometer using straws and rubber clay, and conduct experiments to understand the correlation between density, concentration, and specific gravity by changing the concentration of substances. Elementary students in grades 4?6 will experiment with various materials to control humidity and make a wet-and-dry bulb thermometer themselves. For the real-time SW practice courses for grades 4?6, students will create a virtual scale using Entry, a coding program used in the elementary regular curriculum. For middle school students, the real-time SW practice course uses GeoGebra, which is mainly used in mathematics education technology, to learn about functions and matrices, key mathematical areas in artificial intelligence.

Registration opens on the 13th. Detailed information can be found on the Gwacheon National Science Museum website.
