In Henan Agriculture University in Henan Province in Middle China, students union organized a polar day in the campus. Agriculture is related closely to the climate. As a very important part of global climate system, the polar regions attracted many eyes in the campus.
During the same week in the city of Nanjing in Jiangsu Province in South China, the Youngster Activity Palace organized a polar class. Following the experiment guide on the flyer of IPY, children tied the red signal to the long string with the teacher’s guide and explanation of the earth history. According to a teacher’s comment: ”it’s very interesting to do this kind of experiment. Children learn much more and have a bigger interest when they do the experiment by themselves.” In Nanjing Information & Technology University which has a very strong research and education on meteorology, the students union organized a scientific movie watching activity in the campus. Students saw the movie about polar science and knew the knowledge visually.
?According to the feedback of teacher and students who attend in the polar day celebration, people want to know much more about the mysterious polar regions. They are very far from our country but are two big parts of the whole earth. We have a great wish that the Arctic and Antarctic will remain their original natural appearance and keep away from destroy.
