Watch To remember a knowledge point clearly, we never rely on mechanical recitation, but a thorough understanding of concepts. But where does this deep understanding come from? Recently, DK produced a series of books that once again showed the world of nature, the universe and so on to children. In addition to high-definition large pictures, these popular science books also use one-to-one correspondence, mind mapping and other methods to make boring knowledge points appear in simple terms, which not only looks vivid and easy to understand, but also allows children to truly understand the mystery of the existence and operation of everything in a clear context.
DK produces high-quality products, which is true.
Recently, two sets of popular science color painting books newly published by DK Publishing House once again occupy the C position in the children's study.
They belong to: "My first brief history of science" series ； as well as "Life Cycle" series 。
Life Cycle series
There are two books in the "Life Cycle" series: DK Water Cycle as well as DK Life Cycle , more suitable for children aged 7-15.
This set of books continues the consistent style of DK science popularization Exquisite flow chart , and The way of mind mapping, One-to-one correspondence A stage in the development of everything 。
The whole world is in front of us
For example, it tells children Botany The whole branch of a tree will be divided into four parts, each part corresponding to a season, detailed and clear:
speak Dinosaur group , using chronological time flow mind map:
Designed to Dinosaur ontogeny , using direct comparison:
In addition to various high-definition large pictures, this set of books also systematically takes children from Different dimensions and fields And actively explored the world.
Like the theme of the universe, it can not only start from the dimension of time and space, from the birth of the universe to the birth and death of stars.
They can also take children to see the past of all things in the universe from the fossils:
We can see the history of the universe from the evolution of life and the present of the universe from the study of the principles of the universe.
Show the characteristics of the cycle of everything
Like in the water cycle, the whole book Source of water Speaking of, there are surging glaciers:
There are also clouds in the sky and falling snowflakes:
There are natural water cycle There is also "artificial intelligence" water cycle:
For example, to ensure the water circulation of the International Space Station for astronauts:
From nature to technology, children can truly feel the interconnection of everything.
Biology, chemistry, physics, history and other knowledge
What we learned Mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, geography And other disciplines From nature Therefore, this set of books can also help children in the process of exploring the universe, the earth and life Trace back to the essence of knowledge learned from textbooks.
Still taking water as an example, in life, water is the life source of cells:
Neither photosynthesis of plants nor blood circulation of human body can be separated from water:
Water is indispensable to mankind. In the agricultural era, water can irrigate farmland and help people sow and harvest:
In the industrial era, water has made immortal contributions to ship transportation, and the Maritime Silk Road and the era of navigation have opened up human industrial civilization:
In the electrical era, water, as a natural power generation, has helped people light up thousands of lights:
In the space age, the recyclability of water helps human beings to further explore:
These seemingly different knowledge points are vividly displayed in front of children through the series and combination of "water", so that they can know how important the concepts in the original books play in the evolution of the earth and life!
It is also in this vivid display that children can understand the mysteries of the discipline unconsciously. No wonder this set of books won five-star praise the year before last You've dominated the list Amazon's best seller list for children.
Teachers and parents all over the world praise this set of books.
This parents' story is so beautiful that children of any age can use it as a good teaching reference.
The following is a teacher. She said that she likes this set of books very much, and that it can be used in her own teaching, which is especially helpful for children.
"My first brief history of science" series
"My first brief history of science" series , three books in total, respectively Energy, Architecture and the Universe 。 Suitable for children and big friends over 5 years old.
On the title page of the book Energy, the author wrote a paragraph. He said: Everything in the universe is energy. Knowing energy can better understand everything in the universe 。
Not only ability, but also architecture and the universe: Understanding architecture can better understand human civilization; Understanding the universe can start the journey of self discovery.
Understanding human development through energy
The theme of energy is a compulsory part of physics in middle schools, such as mechanics, heat and electricity. There is "energy" behind it.
Energy is also the guide for us to learn history. The first, second and third industrial revolutions of mankind, from steam to electricity to nuclear energy, determine the development of human beings.
Therefore, Through "energy", we can have a better understanding of physics, history and scientific and technological development.
The book tells children Dynamics , will Potential energy before application Because the potential energy brought by the action of force is the earliest way for human beings to use energy.
The book tells the children heat They will first tell children about heat energy knowledge, and then talk about the application of heat energy.
The most typical application of heat energy is steam engine ， Steam engine is the application of transforming heat energy into kinetic energy, which has brought the first mechanical revolution It also brings about the efficient improvement of human energy application:
As time goes on, the application of heat energy becomes more sophisticated, The internal combustion engine has changed from a pure steam conversion to a power mechanical structure with more transmission systems 。
Jet engine Depends on Continuous work To supply power, the simplified mechanical structure brings about the improvement of efficiency, which is also another major breakthrough in thermodynamics:
The book also uses the general background of "energy" to tell children a lot Frontier scientific and technological inventions and physical knowledge 。
For example, the principles of nuclear fusion and nuclear fission:
As a clean energy of the future, nuclear energy may have a long way to go in large-scale application, but the change in how humans use energy is actually the embodiment of the development of human science and technology.
Therefore, learning the brief history of energy development is the seed of learning science in the heart of children.
Explore the beauty of mathematics and physics
In A Brief History of Architecture, we can see the beauty of mathematics in architecture.
This kind of utilization The beauty of mathematical rhythm and geometric symmetry To reflect the architectural style and beauty:
yes Apply solid geometry Sphere and cylinder knowledge:
yes Using mathematical theory , design a modern apartment that gives consideration to both comfort and construction cost:
And a meeting Building structures using various mathematical shapes The geometric characteristics are vividly reflected:
The quantitative relationship of mathematics and the beauty of geometric plane and three-dimensional are directly displayed to children in the process of spreading architectural drawings.
A Brief History of the Universe is a small book that starts from the curiosity of children and takes all planets as the narrators.
In the book, the high-definition photos of stars occupy a large area of the book, detailing the uniqueness of stars in the solar system.
For example, the solar system There are different landforms on the planet For example, Mount Matt on Venus is almost as high as Mount Everest. And Mount Olympus on Mars is higher.
We'll see it hidden in various planets Astronomical knowledge For example, why does the moon always face us with the same side:
We will Feel the most typical characteristics of planets through the physical knowledge of each planet , such as how changes in atmospheric pressure and wind speed shape the landform:
We can Learn about eccentricity and relativity in their movement cycle ：
In addition to planets, high-tech equipment is also an important part of human space exploration. Precious planetary knowledge can be learned easily with the help of equipment.
So it will tell children The International Space Station The composition of and the role of each part of:
And open the way for children to explore space Space rocket 。
The rocket that has disassembled all parts can not only satisfy the baby's curiosity about them, but also can make one by oneself:
The whole picture book follows“ First talk about the phenomenon, then talk about the principle, combined with the textbook ”It takes us to observe the science knowledge behind energy, architecture and space, and opens the door of interest in science learning in a relaxed reading experience.
