Students’ Academy of Science—Make science more interesting！

让科学更有趣，将科普带给更多的学生

As the school year comes to an end, the activities of Students’ Academy of Science also come to a short break. During the activities, the students from the Students’ Academy of Science showed their professional and skillful when giving lectures. They are speaking highly of by many teachers!

编者按：

又一个学年匆匆走过，伴随着学年尾声的到来，如火如荼的学生科学院活动也暂时告一段落了。在整个活动中，学院学生们的专业表现备受各年级老师、领导们认可！

The Student’s Academy of Science originated in the 2017-2018 school year, when several students with interests in science, including Ivan Yuan (then in 7(2)) and Eric He (then in 7(7)), discussed and researched about scientific topics that expand on what they learned in class. The first discussions related to menstruation in animals and the relation between sleep and mental health. To assist in their understanding of these topics, the teacher guided the students to conduct research and summarize results in a short research report.

学生科学院起源于2017-2018学年，由几个对科学感兴趣的学生组成，包括当时7（2）班的Ivan Yuan和当时7（7）班的Eric He。他们对科学进行了讨论和搜寻资料，以扩展他们在课堂上学到的内容和主题。前几次讨论涉及雌性哺乳动物的周期性激素变化以及睡眠和心理健康之间的关系等话题。

Later in the 2018-2019 school year, the Student’s Academy of Science expanded to include 8 members in both seventh and eighth grade. In the group, the students and teachers discussed many scientific topics, including many currently widely discussed topics. After watching the live stream of the announcement of the winner of the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine, the group decided to focus on discussing cancer immunotherapy, which won the Nobel Prize. To better understand the topic, the students and teachers visited the Chinese Academy of Science to communicate with experts about cancer immunotherapy and understand how the study of cancer works by visiting the laboratory.

在2018-2019学年，学生科学院扩大到包括七年级和八年级的8位成员。在小组中，学生和老师讨论了许多科学主题，包括许多目前的科学热点。在观看了宣布诺贝尔生理学和医学奖得主的直播后，该小组决定专注于讨论获得诺贝尔奖的癌症免疫疗法。为了更好地理解这一主题，学生和老师访问了中国科学院的专家，进行与癌症免疫疗法有关的讨论，并参观实验室，了解癌症方面的科学研究方法。

The Academy also focused on some other interesting topics! Why do people laugh when they are tickled? Why do knuckles pop? What does randomness mean? Starting from the last semester, a group of students who are passionate in science discussed these questions during lunchtime.

当然，学生科学院的学生们还关注了更多同样有趣的话题。为什么人被挠痒会笑？为什么关节会发出吱吱的响声？随机过程是什么意思？从上学期开始，一群对科学知识充满热情的七八年级同学，利用中午的休息时间，积极探讨这些问题。

After understanding the answers of these interesting questions, students thought benefitting themselves is not enough, decided that they should share this knowledge with more students, and inspire more people’s enthusiasm towards science. In their Academy activities, students chose different topics and prepared lectures for students in different grades.

同学们在了解了这些有趣的问题的答案后，认为自己受惠还不够，还应当把这些知识传递给更多的同学，激发更多人对科学的热情。在学院活动中，大家选择了各种主题，准备为1-8年级的同学做讲座。

Preparing is busy but interesting. Students searched for related information from all access, and understood their topics more thoroughly. After coming up with answers, students started making PPT with lively and interesting form. Students practiced their speeches again and again during club time. They refined on contents of the lecture for many times, hoping to make it perfect. Students gave suggestion to each other, and learned a lot from others’ speeches. To make the lecture more effective, students designed posters for the lectures by themselves. Students poured great enthusiasm into the lectures, and revised the contents of the speech, ppt, and poster again and again. Although the process was very difficult, with the passion towards science, students were very dedicated and full of motion.

准备工作既紧张又有趣。同学们通过各种渠道搜索相关信息，对自己选择的主题有了更全面的了解。有了答案以后，同学们开始认真地做PPT，形式活泼有趣。大家每周都在社团活动中进行一轮又一轮的试讲，不断地对PPT及讲座内容进行完善，精益求精。同学们互相给出意见，并在别人的演讲中学到了新的知识。为了让讲座更有效果，大家还自己动手，为讲座设计了宣传海报。同学们对讲座倾注了极大的热情，对演讲内容、PPT和海报进行了一遍又一遍的修改。尽管过程很艰辛，但大家怀着对科学的热情，始终都有动力。

After preparing for a semester, under the help of Ms. Liu, students went to different grades to make their lectures. Speeches made by members of Students’ Academy of Science are very lively and interesting, and grabbed the attention of many students. These lectures organized by students themselves received great reflection, and inspired more students’ interest in science.

同学们在刘铭老师的帮助下，经过一个学期的准备，陆续去各个年级展开科普演讲。学生科学院社团成员的这些生动有趣的讲座，吸引了许多同学的注意。这些由学生自发组织的科普演讲大受好评，并进一步激发了同学们对科学的兴趣。

In the future, the Student’s Academy of Science plan to cover more fields of science, such as physics, chemistry, and astronomy. The Student’s Academy of Science will continue to cover topics based on currently widely discussed science topics.

未来，学生科学院计划涵盖更多的科学领域，如物理学，化学和天文学。学生科学院将继续讨论当今科学热点主题。
