Children like astronomy.

Teacher Du Fu:

Summer vacation is coming. Have all parents planned a timetable for their children?

Many parents don't want to miss the opportunity of overtaking in this corner during the summer vacation, hoping to consolidate the weak links of their children's subjects, and all kinds of natural skills can't fall behind.

However, summer vacation, for children: the most important thing is the word "rest".

Rest, of course, is not crazy play, let alone disorderly work and rest, loose sand, and try to live as usual. In addition, children should be rich.

Astronomer carl sagan once said: "Everyone is a scientist when he is young, because every child, like a scientist, is full of curiosity and awe of the wonders of nature."

Children are naturally curious about astronomical and geographical knowledge, and they are interested in it, so that learning will not become a burden.

Today, I will bring you eight documentaries on astronomy and geography, so that children can see the earth and even the universe without leaving home.

This summer vacation, even if you don't have much time to show your children the world, children can broaden their horizons in these documentaries, not only gain rich knowledge, but also have a broad mind from now on.

There are many documentaries about exploring the universe. The most unusual thing about this film is that it turns eight planets into protagonists.

Introduction to the film:

This expensive documentary truly shows the dissolving poles of the earth and all kinds of creatures living here with the lens. The scenes in the film are amazing.

Sir david attenborough, the narrator of the documentary, said that this may be the last chance for human beings to appreciate this scene before the earth's climate changes dramatically.

Almost all the guests are local cultural figures, which is an enviable way to travel.

Let the children follow Michael, so that they can not only see the most historic and distinctive European railway station and railway system, but also feel the rare beauty.

Zhuge Liang said: for a general, he doesn't know astronomy and geography, but he is a mediocrity!

In ancient times, astronomical geography knowledge was so valued, and now it is increasingly demanding all-round development.

In these documentaries, in addition to astronomy and geography, children can also gain rich knowledge of physics, chemistry, mathematics, engineering and other disciplines, and cultivate their scientific thinking and literacy invisibly.

This summer vacation, hurry to show your child how to look at it, and give him a rich set of subject knowledge and a strong heart.
