September 2025 marks the first National Science Popularization Month. To further disseminate scientific knowledge and foster an innovative culture, Tianzhushan UNESCO Global Geopark, in collaboration with the Qianshan City Association for Science and Technology, Qianshan No. 1 Middle School, and Hengzhong Central Primary School, launched a series of themed activities titled "Exploring Geological Wonders, Decoding Earth's Evolution" on September 12.

During the event, students gained a systematic understanding of Tianzhushan’s geological evolution, granite landforms, and ecological resources through guided tours of exhibition halls. Professor Wu Weiping, a professorial senior engineer from the Anhui Institute of Geological Survey, led students to geological heritage sites, where he detailed the formation mechanisms of continental collisions and ultrahigh-pressure metamorphic rocks. He also provided in-depth explanations on the formation processes and scientific significance of coesite and diamonds.

At Qianshan No.1 Middle School, Professor Wu delivered a science popularization lecture titled "The Mysteries of the Earth." Through rich visual materials and a presentation that made complex concepts easily understandable, he guided teachers and students in exploring topics such as the Earth’s internal structure, plate tectonics, and the geological evolution of Tianzhushan.

Additionally, carefully designed educational exhibition panels about the global geoparks were displayed at Qianshan No.1 Middle School. A themed essay competition, "Tianzhushan UNESCO Global Geopark in My Eyes," was also held simultaneously to encourage students to express their understanding and appreciation of Tianzhushan’s geological science through writing.

This series of activities during the National Science Popularization Month allowed young learners to engage closely with geological sciences and experience the wonders of nature through exhibitions, field trips, and lectures. Moving forward, Tianzhushan UNESCO Global Geopark will continue to leverage its platform and resources, collaborating with various stakeholders to create more high-quality, theme-driven science popularization initiatives. These efforts will inject sustained and profound vitality into spreading scientific knowledge, promoting scientific spirit and nurturing an innovative culture.
