Activity introduction

From March 2009 to February 20 1 1, the "learning to do" astronomical society carried out the scientific and technological practice of finding stars, made use of the existing astronomical equipment of the school, consulted and analyzed various astronomical phenomena, made a monthly practice plan, held more than 60 observation activities, took thousands of photos, recorded various astronomical phenomena and wrote many astronomical reports. ...

Activity background

From 1609 to 2009, it has been 400 years since Galileo made his first astronomical observation with a telescope. This is 400 years of the glory and dream of the telescope, 400 years of the continuous development of human cosmology, and 400 years of the human eye moving towards 65.438+037 billion light years. To commemorate the astronomical observation with telescopes, the United Nations announced that 2009 will be designated as the international year of astronomy.

International year of astronomy 2009 (IYA2009) is a global astronomical activity jointly sponsored by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), which aims to help people re-recognize their place in the universe and thus stimulate their spirit of exploration and discovery. The launching ceremony and press conference of China international year of astronomy 2009 will be held in Beijing Planetarium on June 5438+ 10/0. Around the theme of "exploring our universe", a series of commemorative activities, academic activities and popular science activities will be held.

Wenzhou No.3 Middle School makes full use of the existing astronomical equipment-20 Sirius telescopes, 12 astronomical constellations, fixed astronomical observation sites, etc. -Since the implementation of the scientific and technological characteristic project of "learning and doing in one", the school-based course of astronomical observation has been set up for all students in comprehensive practical activities, including observation training, skillful assembly and use of astronomical telescopes, and learning to guide stars. Explore the causes of astronomical phenomena in class and establish the concept of astronomical space with models; Important astronomical observations, such as solar eclipses, lunar eclipses, planetary conjunctions and other rare astronomical phenomena; Write a special observation report; Celestial photography, which comprehensively uses the knowledge and skills learned to take celestial photos; Small astronomical products, such as making telescopes, moving star maps, simple world time zone calculators, sundials and modified observation instruments; Organize and participate in national, municipal and district astronomical activities.

In 2009, international year of astronomy and Wenzhou No.3 Middle School carried out a series of scientific and technological practice activities with the theme of "exploring our starry sky".

Astronomical telescope is used to observe the starry sky, which can greatly broaden our astronomical observation field of vision. But do you know how to assemble an astronomical telescope? How to observe with astronomical telescope? Today, students of our astronomy elective course will learn to assemble astronomical telescopes and practice using them at the zenith of the school. When students first came into contact with astronomical telescopes, they didn't know where to start at first, and then they could basically find their targets. The teacher also announced the grading criteria for assembling and observing astronomical telescopes: the installation part-the telescope should be installed quickly and accurately, and the names and uses of each part can be accurately stated, and sorted according to the installation speed on the premise of accurate installation; Observation part-first adjust the polar axis to the north pole, and then use the star finder to find the target. The targets can be interchanged during observation; The winner is to find more goals within the specified time and spend less time. The teacher also asked us to continue to practice skillfully and start the competition next time.

Activity summary

1. Every part of the astronomical telescope can't be less. Without it, the best observation effect can't be achieved.

I am proud of learning to assemble astronomical telescope, but I am not skilled enough. I hope to have the opportunity to use it many times;

3. I am very proud of observing things through astronomical telescopes; Eager to observe the moon, the sun and other stars with astronomical telescopes.

2. On July 22nd, students from the experimental class of "Learning and Doing in One" in Wenzhou No.3 Middle School witnessed the total solar eclipse.

In recent days, news and anecdotes about solar eclipse have been frequently reported in newspapers. July 22nd is a rare day in the history of astronomy. There are still nearly 40 minutes before the first loss of the solar eclipse, and we are not idle. We prepared four astronomical telescopes and assembled four astronomical telescopes in 40 minutes. Finally, the students adjusted four astronomical telescopes, all of which were aimed at the dazzling blooming and high above the sun. They have entered everyone's observation field of vision, and the moon has also entered my field of vision. Wow, it looks brand-new, different from what we usually see with the naked eye. The whole moon seems to be full of lines and dots, all large and small circles, as if it had been hit by something sharp. How strange! Some students directly use simple observation equipment made of multilayer negatives, and through the earth equipment, they also prepare special sunglasses to pay attention to the occurrence of solar eclipse at any time.

In two hours, the students and parents of the experimental class experienced the shocking beauty brought by the once-in-a-century "big food" under the guidance of the teacher.

This eclipse left a deep memory for the students, and let them know more about the causes of the eclipse and other eclipse knowledge. This is a very good "eclipse class", which also allows us to consolidate the vague learning content before. Although the weather is hot, the students are enthusiastic and interested. This positive and optimistic spirit of exploration is worth popularizing in future study. Astronomical diaries written by students and solar eclipse works taken by students have won many awards in provincial and municipal astronomical competitions. )

record

To commemorate the global astronomical activity 100 hour, the Astronomical Society of Wenzhou No.3 Middle School held a roadside astronomical observation activity of "Inviting you to celebrate the 60th birthday of the moon" in Ma 'anchi Park on June 3rd, 2009, and observed the moon with three Sirius telescopes. The day is August 15th of the lunar calendar, and the moon phase is full moon. Observe the shooting records and impart astronomical knowledge to the masses.

Roadside astronomy originated from 1968. At that time, Professor Dobson took a telescope to the streets of San Francisco, California, and invited passers-by to enjoy the starry sky through the telescope. Since then, "roadside astronomy" has gradually developed into a global mass astronomical activity. This time coincides with the 60th anniversary of the National Day and the Mid-Autumn Festival. The masses were amazed at the close contact with the moon through professional telescopes.

summary

Although the astronomical activities on the roadside are hard, they attract many people to watch. From their excitement, we feel that our contribution is very meaningful. I hope the teacher can organize us to carry out these activities more.

According to the data, this annular eclipse (20 15 10, 65438+65438) is the longest annular eclipse in 3000 years. At the best observation site (on the line of the annular eclipse center, the weather is predicted to be good during the annular eclipse), the annular eclipse process in Kenya (East Africa) (the annular eclipse will even last for 8.5 minutes. Due to geographical reasons, Wenzhou can only see a partial solar eclipse, but this does not affect our enthusiasm for watching this astronomical spectacle. Members of the Astronomical Society of our school set up three astronomical telescopes and more than a dozen small eclipse observation mirrors on the experimental roof early, expecting another astronomical visual feast.

Activity summary

Through observation activities, we once again felt the charm of the solar eclipse, because it happened at sunset. Seeing the moon blocking the sun, the sun went down like a dog, which greatly aroused our enthusiasm for astronomical observation.

In the evening, there will be 18 annual total lunar eclipse in the sky. Our class 7(6) students participated in roadside astronomical observation for the first time. First, practice using astronomical telescope in the playground and debug 12 astronomical telescope. We found the following problems: (1) a lot of screws are missing; (2) The focal length deviation of the lens barrel. Then we set up four professional astronomical telescopes in the square of Saddle Pool Park. Due to the geographical location, we observed some processes of partial solar eclipse. At the same time, we also introduced the knowledge of solar eclipse and astronomical telescope to the past citizens, and they were also curious about watching the process of solar eclipse through astronomical telescope. We are proud of serving the public with what we have learned.

Activity summary

Through observation activities, we witnessed the spectacle of the solar eclipse. It was held in the park and attracted many citizens to watch it. They are also curious about the lunar eclipse on the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar. They used astronomical telescopes to witness the wonderful sight of a lunar eclipse in the first month of the lunar calendar, and they asked us many questions from time to time. As a little teacher of astronomy, we are very proud. At the same time, it attracted Wenzhou TV station to report the activities of our astronomical society.

Every observation activity has improved students' practical operation ability, observation ability, analysis ability and summary ability. Combined with what they have learned in textbooks, their understanding of things has been improved from perceptual to rational, and at the same time, their interest and yearning for learning astronomy have been stimulated. In addition, they have also been well received by the society in roadside astronomical activities. Wenzhou Education Network, Wenzhou Metropolis Daily, Wenzhou Business Daily, Wenzhou City Channel and other media have reported the observation and practice activities of our astronomical society.

The harvest and experience of the activity

Through the practice of "exploring our starry sky", all the students involved wrote down their experiences, totaling more than 20 thousand words. During the activities, students exercised their social practice ability, cultivated their innovative spirit and scientific literacy, enhanced their keen interest in learning and practicing astronomical popular science knowledge, experienced the significance of practice, and kept maturing in repeated challenges.
