Little experimental scientists into

Many Chinese parents doubt: United States of basic education is known as \"the worst in the world\", has produced many masters in the field of physics, chemistry, and include Nobel prizes in the classes is almost two-thirds? Do one thing this is not a contradiction?

When friends small soup with son immigration United States after 6 years, she reached the conclusion that: United States education merit.

For example, the United States child 7~12zhousui, every year there are two \"science projects\" need to be completed, and each study, lasted for two months to 2.5 months. Surprised the small soup is: the \"science projects\" from the completion of the formulation of the subjects to a experimental and statistical data, until the end of the analysis of the conclusions drawn, chart writing and thesis writing, all kids play.

\"Science project\" started zhiqian, school will to students parents sent open letter, along the is said: children were will full completed \"science project\", given they age small, and experience insufficient, inevitably has \"whimsical\" of lift, please parents were not easily negative they of plan, should allows they failed, \"we has 2.5 months of time, can will a months or 1.5 months \' waste \' in cannot for down of project Shang, this is children were society correct of thinking method zhiqian of \' will by detours \'. ”

Little soup\'s son chose \"under the magnifying glass in the same light burning different sheet metal\" this \"science projects\". He collected a sheet iron, copper, Tin films sth Tried to use the Magnifier to collect energy from the Sun, burning them one by one point. Every day he stripped to the waist and holding a magnifying glass handle, concentrate on iron with a focus on sth Baking Sun for a few days in a row, no burning iron tablets, he fell into a black Sun Loach.

Small soup is aerobic and funny, ignite with a son on the Internet to investigate various sheet metal, research focused sunlight can bring over 1000 degree high temperature. Finally, son promised to use paper to make a new round of experiments, mother and a specially crafted collection of more than 20 different paper paper cut 10cmx10cm square, then small soup to teach him how to capture \"the same light\".

Also at 3 o\'clock in the afternoon sun, exactly the same whether the intensity of the light? If you do not like, and concluded that comparative data has no credibility. To this end, the children\'s father from the teaching of University borrowed spectrometers, help son determination of strength of the Sun.

Experimental spent more than 20 days to finish the first round, little son of Tang and new ideas: as long as the light intensity is the same, not only including the Sun, also including artificial light, artificial light of equal strength, such as incandescent lamps, ultraviolet disinfection lamp sth Do you have the same power?

Another round of \"toss\" started, experiment all finished, making comparison tables and legends, making computer software to help analyze data sth A road difficulties lie ahead, small soup can\'t help but complain about \"the scientific project is too wearing\", and son are brimming with confidence that: \"everything is hard in the beginning, the next time, I know with the study, only one variable, all other conditions are the same, final conclusion to convince. ”

Finally, parents are invited to visit the \"project results exhibition\" closer experience to the children have their imagination. For example children study \"luffa relationship between results and play music\", within 60 days of meticulous, recording 5 trees leaf out of towel gourd and results. This 5 Loofah, a tree every day listening to rock music, a listening to light music, a to hear the Symphony Orchestra, a heard singing music, there is a tree does not listen to music. To prevent play music by other sponge gourd \"overheard\" do this \"science project\" children of the few luffa was very far away, and over the \"noise-shed\". Luffa high as long as possible, \"sound proof canopy\" must also keep great and high, 60 days, placed a total of 120 hours of music! Luffa during each period of growth, not only the data, more digital photos as evidence. Others include: different how to forecast the weather, time of Mimosa pudica leaves coffee sugar melts of time, and so on in a different color of the beverage.

Want to come, this is perhaps the United States basic education \"the worst in the world\", was able to cultivate a field with one of the many causes of master-class character.
