物理與可持續(xù)發(fā)展
物理學作為一門研究物質(zhì)、能量、空間和時間的自然學科,它不僅關(guān)心大自然的發(fā)展規(guī)律,更關(guān)心人類社會、自然生態(tài)等的健康可持續(xù)發(fā)展。
本著培養(yǎng)學生對人類社會共同問題的責任感,幫助學生形成將所學科學知識應用于解決現(xiàn)實問題的意識,八年級師生結(jié)合聯(lián)合國提出的當前17大可持續(xù)發(fā)展問題,鼓勵學生從物理學角度思考、探索,作為科學技術(shù)搖籃的物理學,能如何幫助我們解決這迫在眉睫的17個可持續(xù)發(fā)展問題。
本次活動選擇了聲納技術(shù)與海洋生物、太空技術(shù)和糧食危機、激光技術(shù)在醫(yī)學領域的應用、可持續(xù)交通、核廢水與全球水危機五個物理學相關(guān)話題,鼓勵學生走出課堂,以更廣闊的視覺來解讀物理學這門學科在現(xiàn)實生活中的應用,以及在解決社會問題、能源問題等可持續(xù)發(fā)展問題中扮演的角色。
本次活動采用小組合作的形式,經(jīng)過近兩周的小組調(diào)查和研討,本周迎來了各小組的報告展示和感悟分享。
有的小組通過調(diào)查聲納對海洋鯨魚的影響機制,從物理學角度提出維護海洋生態(tài)的方法。有的小組通過對太空技術(shù)的探索,總結(jié)幫助解決人類糧食危機的新方法,也有的小組通過對激光特性進行調(diào)查研究,探討激光在現(xiàn)代醫(yī)療中得到廣泛應用的原因等。同學們在分享時,不僅對現(xiàn)有技術(shù)進行了總結(jié),也提出了對目前人類社會、自然生態(tài)、神秘太空等方面可持續(xù)性發(fā)展的思考。
同學們在這兩周的調(diào)研和分享討論中,不僅感受到了物理學這門學科在現(xiàn)實生活中的應用,更感受到了作為物理學人在社會問題、能源問題等可持續(xù)發(fā)展問題中所肩負的責任。
Physics is more than just a natural scientific discipline—it is a mechanism with which we can uncover the secrets of the natural world and promote sustainable human development. Through the study of matter, energy, and space and time, we can better understand the laws of nature and find ways in which we can live in glorious symbiosis.
Grade 8 students first familiarized themselves with the 17 UN sustainable development goals and were then tasked with finding ways in which physics could help solve or alleviate these issues. This was done in order to cultivate a sense of responsibility as global citizens, as well as to empathize with and better understand the difficulties faced by people around the world. By applying scientific knowledge to solve practical real-world problems, we hope to reinforce the important roles physics has to play both now and into the future.
Five physics-related topics were provided—Topic 1 Sonar and Halobios, Topic 2 Space Technology and Food Crisis, Topic 3 Laser Technology in Medical Science, Topic 4 Sustainable Transportation, and Topic 5 Nuclear Wastewater and the Global Water Crisis.
These units aim to encourage students to step outside of the classroom and take a broader view of how physics is applied to real life and the roles it plays in solving social, energy, and other sustainable development issues. After nearly two weeks of investigation and discussion, each group was required to give a presentation and share their findings.
Students covered a diverse range of interesting topics, with some delving into the impact of sonar on ocean whales and other marine life, while others preferred to focus on lasers and their current and potential use in modern medical treatment. One group even went extraterrestrial by exploring how space technology can help alleviate our current food crisis. Students were also required to provide a summary of existing technologies in relation to the current state of human society and our natural environment, including references to other potential options for sustainable development.
The two weeks of research and discussion proved fruitful in raising awareness of the roles physics plays in regard to social, energy, and many other issues. This unit also gave students invaluable experience in designing their own scientific investigations and seeing physics not merely as a disparate discipline but rather as a holistic field that has the potential to change the world.
