26 october, suzhou city, 2024StudentsThe astronomy competition was successfully held at taikura city school of economics and trade and the first secondary school of taikura city, with the participation of 2240 astronomy fans from primary and secondary schools. A day ago, the competition award list was published (click review). Recently, however, a large number of enthusiastic parents have been asking questions in the backstage of copusu。
The hot spots include, but are not limited to:
Is there a library for next year
My baby's interested. How can i systematically learn astronomy
How can parents take their children to the stars
What's the price for the telescope
Excuse me, what's the way to the astronomical competition
I'm sorry

Well, in response to the astronomical enthusiasm of young people and parents in suzhou, kosuke kosaku invited a senior astrophysics counselor in suzhou, mr. Tin shui, to reveal the book "how to open the universe with a baby"。
I'll leave a message. We can continue。

In 2012, led to the finals of the national astronomy competition for secondary school students in xinjiang, with the first on the right being mr. Tin shui
Ting shui has been teaching geography at the secondary level for more than 30 years, and has been a national teacher at the top secondary level and a leader in primary and secondary education (geography) in suzhou city。
At the same time, mr. Ting qi is a member of the chinese astronomy society, an expert in the dissemination of science and technology at the astronomy council of jiangsu province and the deputy chairman of the astronomy council of suzhou city. In more than 20 years of astronomy tutorial experience, more than 100 major astronomical observation events were organized, students were mentored and awarded numerous national and international astronomical oscillations and, at the invitation of the chinese astronomy society, were invited to participate in events such as egypt's day astronomical observatory and the world congress of the united nations。
Development of astronomy for primary and secondary students
What are your suggestions for the family
Actually, when i was a kid, my parents didn't know what the astronomical object was and i didn't know the word "astronomical," but that didn't stop me from loving the sky. My closest contact with the sky is the one that lays on the grass of the field at the fall harvest, looking at the stars, shaking away at a flashy meteor。
In 2006, at the invitation of the chinese astronomy society, mr. Ding shui went to egypt to observe the eclipse, which was held in salum town, and below is a map of the gap between observations and the local plainclothes police


So, every time a parent asks me how to develop a child's astronomical hobby, i say that astronomical hobbies are not really raised, because the vision of human beings for the stars and the universe is born, and all parents can do is protect the innocence and love of their children, look up to the stars with them and look to the unknown。
Those who love astronomy and perform well
How did they grow up
In my more than two decades of astronomical guidance career, many children with astronomical attachments and affections were met and their families often had similar characteristics。
In one case, both parents and children love the stars, and they accompany their children to view and play with the stars and explore astronomical problems。
In sioux astronomy, there used to be a couple of fathers and daughters called old money and daughters called small money. The father and daughter were obsessed with astronomy, and when the fourth-grade daughter filmed the whole monthly diet with a simple device, the old money began to get angry at the research of the astronomical equipment and was working on relatively cheap equipment to kill the field (to make observations of the sky in the field) and film deep space。
At the time, many of suzhou's fans were inspired by old money, accompanied by his love of astronomy, which had made great strides in astronomy practice and had been awarded prizes on numerous occasions at national astronomy competitions for secondary school students (precedent to the national astronomy competition for secondary school students) and international astronomy competitions。
There is also a situation where parents, while not obsessed with astronomical literature, unconditionally support the child's love of the astronomical and the “scrambling” on astronomical observations。
In 2012, the finals of the national astronomy competition for secondary school students, yoo xiao, received the golden prize; the following is a full-food public observation event in october 2014, where xiao liu is making intense filming


Liu xiao, a young science worker of the suzhou city astronomical society, has been awarded the gold medal for the national astronomy olympic competition six times. The child was interested in astronomy at the kindergarten, and his father took him with him to visit a group of former teachers of the sioux city astronomy society, who had given him guidance。
Upon entering starfish high school, i found out that his astronomical traits recommended him to the national astronomy olympic competition for high school students, and that he had won the gold medal for the national astronomy olympic competition for high school students for the first time and the gold medal for the country in the asia-pacific astronomy olympic competition that year
In 2005, mr. Ding seok led the students and teachers of stars and stars to the service of the 28th wcsu general assembly


I've been following a kid for almost 20 years, dong yuan. When i first met her, i was surprised that a second grader could read every issue of astrophile. She has been a leading member of star star stars and stars since she entered high school. She has been awarded several awards in astrosy, twice in the international astronomy contest, and is currently a master of astronomy at leiden university, the netherlands. As a result of her participation in a variety of astronomical events, she had met many national experts and excellent peers。
Looking back on dong yuan's growth, she is a model of parental support, orientation and peer motivation。
How should students charge their astronomical knowledge
This year, i had the privilege of being the leader of the "soviet team" and leading 16 outstanding students from jiangsu province to beijing for the finals of the national astronomy competition for secondary school students. This is the best achievement in jiangsu province over the years, and both first-class awards come from our suzhou。
I had an in-depth conversation with the parents of first-class winner liu。
Interestingly, liu has not read any of the astronomical studies before, but he has read the astronomy in the encyclopedia many times. Nor has he participated in any of the astronomical professional societies, but coincidentally he participated in several astronomical observation activities. From the parents' expression, i can feel that the child's excellence is more derived from his love for the astronomy, his deep-seated in-depth study of the astronomical knowledge, and his silent support and company。

So, that's the sentence -- how to make a child fall in love with astronomy? Protect the children's natural love for the stars and the universe, take them together to find the reasons behind the interesting astronomical phenomena, give them some interesting astronomical books, show them the stars in the field and give them a sense of accomplishment。
However, if it was to win a prize in a heavyweight race, it would require a systematic pool of knowledge. Like liu, reading again and again, an astronomical article like the great encyclopedia, " what's the 100,000? "。
I have also been asking my classmates to read one or two of the more systematic and comprehensive scripts of the universe in our school's sos community teaching. Unfortunately, there are a large number of generic books for primary and secondary school students, but there are few books that systematically study astronomical knowledge. To that end, we can only take a second step by recommending students who want to study astronomy systematically or who want to take part in astronomy competitions to read some books from undergraduate astronomy subjects, such as " new astronomy " , edited by mr. Soo-ye, and " basic astronomy " , edited by mr. Liu。
Books on systematic learning of astronomical knowledge

Astronomical periodicals that inspire interest

Astronomical observation field guide books

Of course, the children are given a copy of astronomy or national astronomy magazine, which gives them access to up-to-date astronomical information; software for simulations of the stars, such as stellarim (virtual planetarium), is installed on computers to understand real-time images of any place on earth; and it is useful to read observation guides such as the cambridge astronomical astronomy guide, nightviewing astronomy: a guide to practice。
How can primary and secondary school students upgrade their astronomical observation capacity
The former director of the china astronomy society's astronomical popularization committee and former director of the beijing planetarium, mr. Zhu jin, said: “astronomical is a game”. Astronomy is essentially an observational science that likes observational practice。
How, then, can astronomical observation practices be carried out as primary and secondary students? Although there are no astronomical telescopes to observe astronomical observations, and it is true that our predecessors have made brilliant achievements under the conditions of eye-watching, i recommend that the school children who love astronomy have an astronomical telescope within the limits of their economic means。

But as an entry point, it would be good to buy astronomical telescopes, even a binocular. Equipment is only possible, and what children really need to do is to be familiar with the equipment in their hands and to fully utilize its performance and value。
To be honest, today's cheapest hundreds of dollars of astronomical telescopes outperformed the galileo-era telescope, with which galileo saw the ring mountains on the moon and four galileo satellites next to jupiter. In 2006, i took to egypt a 60 mm retrospect telescope to film the solar diet, which is in the range of $1,000 today, but i used it to film the whole cycle of the recovery of the solar eclipse from its first loss, which is already very much alive, and these photographs can still be seen today。
In 2006, mr. Ding shui invited the chinese astronomy society to egypt to observe the whole of the eclipse and film the whole of the day

Thus, for primary and secondary school students, equipment is not an obstacle and it is whether or not to walk out bravely. Moreover, some planets can be observed without astronomical telescopes, such as observations of cyclical changes in the monthly cycle, observations of meteor showers, etc. Some planets can be observed within a thousand dollars of astronomical telescopes, such as observations of the sun, moon, moon shelter, stars and twin stars, and some deep space objects (e. G. Messier objects)。
