Education

The FZPt-CHINA team conducted educational outreach activities for various age groups, including kindergarten, primary school, junior high school, high school, and university. The educational promotion activities revolve around microalgae and synthetic biology, attracting many students to participate through colorful methods such as pictures and videos, enabling them to better understand relevant knowledge. Once the activities are carried out, they are highly praised by the general public in society.

Kindergarten presentation

We not only actively interacted with the children during the lecture, but also distributed brochures and questionnaires to them, so that their understanding of synthetic biology and microalgae was not only limited to this lesson, but also allowed them to learn more about what they are interested in with the help of their parents' mobile phones in their daily life.

Before the presentation, we firstly made a perfect plan, presentation PPT and manuscript, etc. After all these materials were prepared, we went to communicate with the relevant person in charge of the kindergarten to show our sincerity and attitude. In the process of communication, the person in charge have raised many questions and concerns, we have patiently answered one by one, and guaranteed to protect the privacy of underage children. After communicating with the people in charge, we decided on the classes for the presentation and familiarised ourselves with them in advance to ensure that the official presentation would go smoothly.

Primary education

Publicity in b station or public account can make the public see the content of our team's promotion more clearly and visually, and can bring some content and form inspiration to the team with relevant promotion needs.

Teachers and students were very friendly and cooperative. Students listened carefully, actively interacted and answered questions, and took a group photo at the end of the activity. In the later period, the students received a lot of feedback from the teacher. They not only enriched their study life, but also learned some content that they could not learn at school. At home, they also took the initiative to understand related water resources and environmental protection content.

Through the promotion activities of different age groups, each activity will be reflected and summarized, and the feedback of the students and teachers will be collected, the content of the education package will be constantly updated, and the content and form of the promotion will be improved by summarizing the previous promotion experience.

Our publicity activities have really made more people, especially young people, aware of the importance of water resources and sewage treatment, and participate in environmental protection.

Junior high school presentation

Team members spread synthetic biology and microalgae technology to young people through classroom teaching, communication and interaction.

In the communication with junior high school students, we not only introduced the relevant knowledge of synthetic biology and microalgae, but also emphasized the importance of environmental protection, and called on everyone to take active actions and start from the little things around. At the same time, the junior high school students also gave us warm feedback, planted the seeds of interest in related knowledge and fields, and promised to practice environmental protection.

In the early stage of the activity, through systematic planning and research, the team built an educational material system of synthetic biology and microalgae technology for all ages. It took half a month to produce and improve, as well as improve the feedback after class, so as to make the educational content more specific, rich, accurate and systematic. Before the education promotion, the team also communicated with the school for many times.

In the communication with junior high school students, we not only introduced the relevant knowledge of synthetic biology and microalgae, but also emphasized the importance of environmental protection, calling on everyone to take active actions and start from the little things around us. At the same time, the junior high school students also gave us warm feedback, planted the seeds of interest in the relevant knowledge and fields, and promised to practice environmental protection.

High school presentation

uring the presentation, we used video to show some of the team's work, and the results showed that high school students have a strong interest in learning about it.

In high school, students' understanding of chemistry was still relatively vague, and the team told the students the practical significance of chemistry through the content of the speech, so that it could be concretized in life.

In the classroom, students became deeply interested in the operation of synthetic biology and directly expressed their desire to explore and learn.

After deciding on high school students as our goal for teaching, we first went to a local high school and consulted with the teacher in charge. At the same time, from the perspective of high school students, we produced PPT for speeches, presentation texts, and prepared preliminary plans.

We also took into account the current busy academic schedule of high school students, so our activities are designed with slack so that our activities do not burden the school. Thanks to our full preliminary preparation, we won a positive team image and successfully obtained the consent of the responsible teacher.

During the return visit, we met the teachers and students in charge again. Everyone is overjoyed to see us again.. We learned that instead of forgetting about synthetic biology after the presentation, the students took the opportunity to form interest groups where like-minded students exchanged daily learning, including, of course, synthetic biology.

The teacher in charge is very proud of the students' spontaneous behavior, and at the same time, she credits our team for these changes, giving us considerable recognition.

The nucleus is the command center of the cell, and most of the genetic material in the nuclear cell is concentrated in the nucleus, and there is a membrane around it. Inside the nucleus is a filamentous substance called a chromosome. When cells divide, the filamentous material becomes cylindrical or rod-shaped. Centrosomes located in the cytoplasm near the nucleus reside in eukaryotic cells all the time. During mitosis, the centrosome helps the copy of the chromosome to be accurately separated into two cells.
