Science needs fantasy, invention is valuable in innovation

Human beings never lack fantasy .
In human childhood, fantasy gave birth to myth. Myth allows humans to solve the problem of understanding nature, although it is not scientific.
With the development of productivity, human fantasy has become more and more abundant. Fantasy has enabled mankind to create many inventions and innovations, including the four great inventions, airplanes, trains, and electric lights and telephones, which have brought the world closer and made flying into the sky no longer a dream.
When you calm down and observe yourself, do you find that your imagination and creativity are gradually declining as you grow older? Have you ever thought about the reasons? When you are immersed in developing skills such as reading, writing, arithmetic, memorizing, etc., this is actually the use of the left brain and the neglect of the development of the right brain, which makes your creative thinking and creativity unavailable. Good training and training, that’s why. Moreover, it will ultimately affect the full development of people's all-round talents.
Participating in science and technology activities and other forms of extracurricular activities can overcome and correct the shortcomings of traditional school education and enable students’ brains to be fully developed, especially for those students with active right-brain thinking. It is of special significance that children's talents and creativity will not be bound by tradition and can be fully displayed in scientific and technological activities.
In order to provide students with a platform for innovation and invention and opportunities for scientific research, science and technology associations at all levels and relevant departments organize a science and technology innovation competition every year. For this kind of event, schools and parents in urban areas have We are aware of its importance, but it is a very bad thing that our rural schools, or to be more precise, our schools have not paid attention to it.
Teachers and students all think that invention and creation are unattainable academic issues. In fact, science is embedded in our lives. As long as we love to think, the materials for small inventions and creations are within easy reach. . Technological innovation has never been an unfathomable thing. Pay attention to life, run your imagination, show off your golden ideas, make your little inventions, conduct research and scientific practice activities, or express your illusions in pictures, and so on, this is technological innovation.
Let me tell you a few examples. On the way to and from school, some students must pass by the speed reduction device on the highway, right? However, everyone was just passing by, but a middle school student thought that although the speed reduction device could prevent traffic accidents, the bumps when passing by were very uncomfortable. So he used his knowledge of optics in physics to design an invisible deceleration device that would not cause bumps caused by physical objects, but would also give the driver a visual illusion and inevitably slow him down. This innovative plan won the first prize for the innovative plan in the National Science and Technology Innovation Competition and obtained national patent rights. Drying clothes to dry is a common thing in the family, but a classmate observed that when there is wind, clothes are often They were squeezed together by the wind and could not be dried in the sun. Using the principle of like-pole magnets repelling each other, he invented an "automatic-spacing clothes drying rack" so that a certain distance could always be maintained between each two clothes hooks. This invention won the first prize for small inventions in the Provincial Science and Technology Innovation Competition. Some students use holidays to conduct social surveys and record the process from problem discovery to problem solving, which is part of the science and technology activities.
In the palace of science, as long as you are willing to explore the mysteries of nature and society, be diligent in practice, seek true knowledge, not stick to conventions, be brave in innovation, be rigorous and realistic, be perseverant, unite and cooperate, and give full play to your intelligence. With your talent, you can also be a little inventor, and you are also a scientific explorer!
Science and technology activities are rich in content, including scientific papers, small inventions, innovative plans, web page production, scientific practice activities, scientific knowledge and ability competitions, research learning results, science fiction painting evaluations, and popular science knowledge promotion , Science and technology lectures, as a school management, should mobilize the subconscious mind of the class teacher and actively call and organize. However, it should not be a free and casual situation. Science and technology counselors should also be equipped to encourage students to have the courage to show boldly.
The famous inventor Edison once said: "Science requires fantasy, and invention is important in innovation." Technology creates the future and creates excitement. The "Four Great Inventions" of ancient China played a huge role in promoting the development of the world's natural industry. The "Shenzhou-6" invitation to space reflects the scientific and technological wisdom and strength of the contemporary Chinese people.
The creations of students can extend their limited lives infinitely, allowing us to spread the wings of imagination and fly freely in the blue sky of science!
