【英文科普书】《Irresponsible Science 》不负责任的科学系列 让孩子在“不可思议” |
[attach]162[/attach] 一、系列概览 🎯 《Irresponsible Science》系列 由 Sean Connolly(肖恩·康诺利)编写,收录了多本以“大胆、有趣、动手”为主的科普实验书。共有七册,分别聚焦于实验科学、工程灾难、化学、科技、数学和体育科学等主题。每本书以轻松幽默的风格,引导孩子使用家中常见材料(厨房用品、普通文具等),开展一系列“看似疯狂却蕴含真实科学原理”的实验,让动手体验真正教育意义。 二、主要书目介绍 🧪 书名 实验数量 主题聚焦 适读年龄 《The Book of Totally Irresponsible Science》 64 全面科学实验 9岁以上 《The Book of Potentially Catastrophic Science》 50 致命吸引的历史科学实验 9岁以上 《The Book of Ingeniously Daring Chemistry》 24 元素与化学基础 9岁以上 《The Book of Terrifyingly Awesome Technology》 27 新科技实验体验 9岁以上 《The Book of Massively Epic Engineering Disasters》 33 工程失败背后的科学启示 9岁以上 《The Book of Perfectly Perilous Math》 24 趣味数学与逻辑挑战 9岁以上 《The Book of Wildly Spectacular Sports Science》 54 运动科学原理探索 9岁以上 三、书系特色亮点 ✨ 1. 实验设计大胆却可信 实验设计都很“irresponsible”——比如汽水火山、巨型泡泡、沙袋炸弹等——但详实解释实验背后的科学原理,例如牛顿定律、压力、化学反应,避免“耍酷”无意义,兼顾趣味与教育意义。 2. 嵌入历史小故事 如《Potentially Catastrophic…》配备科学史故事,从炼金术到爱因斯坦,结合科学趣闻令知识更生动,形成“瞬间恍然大悟”的阅读体验。 3. 图文并茂,风格俏皮 封面与内页插画风格活泼,设计灵感源于怀旧科普杂志,配合Sean康叔调皮旁白,使阅读明显更具亲和力。 Chapter 1 01 CHANCES OF SURVIVAL:YOU MIGHT MAKE IT SURVIVAL STRATEGIES:OPERATIONS AND ALGEBRAIC THINKING DEATH BY:GIANT BLADE THE PIT AND THE PENDULUMTHE CHALLENGE The year is 1714. You’re in a dark Spanish prison. You wake up to find yourself tied to a table with ropes. In the darkness you hear a rhythmic swishing sound—something going back and forth, back and forth. Eventually your eyes get accustomed to the dark and see that the source of the sound is a sharp blade at the end of a long pendulum that’s swinging back and forth over your body. With each sweep it gets a little lower—and a little closer to your chest. You note how long it takes between those swishes: exactly 7 seconds. And with each swish, the blade drops 1 inch lower. The last passing was only 15 inches above your chest. It won’t be much longer before the blade slices right through you. Should you scream for help? That would probably just summon a guard, who would run you through with a sword then and there. But wait! You see a rat by your arms and he’s gnawing at the rope that binds you to the table. In fact, he has only 1 minute to go before he gnaws through it all the way. When he does that, you can get free! Will the rat chew through the rope beforeor afterthe blade has slashed through your chest? How much time do you have exactly? 4. 安全与指导并重 书中设有“Take Care!”提醒,按照年龄门槛建议家长陪同,对实验中潜在风险做出明示,确保孩子在安全环境下探索科学。 推荐实验 🔬 巨型肥皂泡裹住小朋友 看似泡泡大战,其实在演示表面张力与空气阻力。家长也能拍出有趣视频。 瓶里薄荷糖喷泉(Mentos实验) 酸碱反应+空气压力“狂喷”的瞬间,让孩子真正懂得二氧化碳快速释放原理。 自制火箭(胶片罐+碳酸氢钠+醋) 火箭原理的缩微版,既安全又能解释气体膨胀推动力。 爆米花+“放射衰变”教学 (引自《Potentially Catastrophic…》) 用生活实验讲复杂概念,妙趣横生。 《Irresponsible Science》系列,正如名字所示,看似“不负责任”,却寓教于乐。它为孩子提供了在“危险边缘”的安全实验场景,通过动手操作激发好奇与逻辑思维。不仅是在“快乐科学”的道路上迈出一步,更是对传统科普教育形式的颠覆与创新。
