线上教学期间,中国历史高中选修课与清华大学科学博物馆连线,合作创设了《理性王国的建立:现代科学精神探索之旅》的主题课程。学生们跟随着清华大学科学博物馆戴晓飞老师现场的脚步,在云端参观了《直上云霄:列奥纳多·达·芬奇的飞行与工程机械展》。通过观看一件件精巧绝伦的达·芬奇科学成果的复原品,学生们不仅了解了其背后的机械原理,更加深了对纯粹的科学精神的理解——“为科学而科学”。之后,戴老师又为学生们做了关于“西方科学精神”的专题讲座,讲解了自古希腊以来西方科学精神的起源与发展历程,为中国历史课“新文化运动”单元的学习奠定了坚实的基础。
During the online teaching, the high school Chinese history elective course connected with the Tsinghua University Science Museum and collaborated to create the thematic course “The Establishment of the Kingdom of Reason: A Journey of Exploration of the Modern Scientific Spirit”. Our students followed the footsteps of Ms. Dai Xiaofei, a teacher at the Museum, and watched the documentary——”Straight to the Clouds: Leonardo da Vinci’s Flight and Engineering Machinery Exhibition”.
By watching a piece of exquisite restored Da Vinci’s scientific achievements, students not only understood the mechanical principles, but also deepened their understanding of the pure spirit of science – “science for science’s sake”. After that, Ms. Dai gave a special lecture on “Western Scientific Spirit”, explaining the origin and development of Western scientific spirit since ancient Greece, which laid a solid foundation for students’ further study of “New Cultural Movement” in Chinese History class.
