September 15-25, 2024 are National Science Popularization Days, and the theme of this year is: improving the scientific quality of the whole people and working together to build a strong country in terms of science and technology. On September 20, Tianzhushan UGGp jointly carried out a series of education activities for the 2024 "National Science Popularization Days" with Qianshan Municipal Association for Science and Technology, the Municipal Ecological Environment Branch, the Forestry Bureau of Qianshan, Doumu Town, Tianzhushan Town and other relevant departments.

More than 100 teachers and students from Luohan Central Primary School visited the Tianzhushan Geopark Museum and the Qianshui River National Wetland Park Education Hall to observe rock specimens, learnt about the geological evolution and landforms of Tianzhushan, the origin and evolution of life and explored the diverse ecosystems on Earth; In addition, they learnt about the humanistic history, stone carvings, intangible cultural heritage and other aspects of Tianzhushan from ancient times to the present, and experienced the humanistic charm of Tianzhushan.

Students were also organized to visit Qiuzhi Geo-cultural Village, and Professor Wu Weiping taught them about the formation, evolution and basic characteristics of paleontological fossils, so that the students could experience and perceive this world-class geoheritage on the spot.

Tianzhushan UGGp held a science popularization lecture titled “The Earth’s Mysteries” for more than 200 students in Huangpu Middle School. Professor Wu Weiping used rich pictures, vivid videos and simple explanations to lead students to explore the internal structure of the earth, plate movement, climate change and geological evolution and many other mysteries, and popularized the knowledge of the Tancheng-Lujiang fault zone, so as to improve students' awareness of geological disasters prevention.

These activities not only provided students with diverse popular science resources, but also stimulated students' interest in learning, loving and using science. In the future, Tianzhushan UGGp will further strengthen the construction of popular science infrastructure, optimize the allocation of popular science resources, improve the service capacity and make greater contributions to the high-quality development of science popularization.
