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

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.
