"Mom, I haven't had enough fun yet. It would be great if the sun didn't set..." The child's thoughts before returning home every night were finally solved today.
At night, we first prepared the globe and a flashlight, then turned off the lights, and prepared to play a small starry sky game. I turned on the flashlight and sat in the middle of the earth as the "sun" and the child as the "earth". He turned the ground sphere while circled around the "big sun".
The child was turning the globe and chanting "It's morning now", "Ah! It's noon", "It's night". I followed the "little earth" and said, "spring, summer, autumn, and winter".
Before going to bed, the child agreed to let his sister join the game tomorrow night and come to the satellite "Moon" of the earth.
If you want children to understand time, it seems not difficult to enlighten science popularization such as astronomy, history, geography, biology, society, etc. . only needs a "time map" with a folding page to build a clear "frame" for children.
"Time Map" is a "cute science popularization picture book" jointly created by Spanish biology doctor Juint and illustrator Losantos. They condensed the 13.8 billion-year journey into 35 time maps, taking children to explore the history of everything in the universe and humanity, and thinking "Why are we a family?" "Why are we different?"
This set of books is divided into two volumes. One volume is from the Big Bang to the birth of human beings. What is the origin of the universe? How was life born? How did mankind "occupate" the world? You can also answer your child's "Where did you come from?";
Another volume talks about how humans gather from hunting and gathering to the post-industrial era. What is the distance between the earth and the sun? What is the relationship between light and precipitation and geographical environment? How do we humans adapt to different environments on the earth? Why do people around the world have different heights, skin color and hair?
"Time Map" takes children through a journey of 13.8 billion years. Such popular science picture books are really interesting.
01 The painting style is cute, interesting and inexpensive, and the dish of dolls
Here, the sun is a cute and warm "big fat man", the moon is a shy and cute "little baby", and there are many primitive people and children running around, just like children shuttle between the world and the universe.
soft and cute style, young babies can directly read as comics; those around 5 years old can play with pictures and talk, exercise their imagination, and use it as popular science enlightenment; babies over 7 years old can read independently and travel through time and space in comics.
small pages in the book, don’t rush to open the answer, we can play with our children and guess. Just like a small bottle, a child describes the appearance of a modern bottle and tries to imagine what the bottle would look like in the past. Like a gourd? Like a thermos? Like a bucket...
When the child opened the folding page, he exclaimed: "It's like a little teapot with urine milk!" Surprise, curiosity, and happiness were all written in his eyes.
02 We are all one family
Before, the history we learned was the history of various countries. For example, we started from the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, and the "Time Map" started from the universe to the birth of human beings. It talks about the history of the earth and the history of human beings, which directly raises the height of children's view of the world.
From the birth of the universe and the planet to the small and multi-cells at the beginning of life; then from dinosaurs dominating mammals, and evolved to ancient humans - Lucy and her family.
Lucy lived more than 3 million years ago. When she was an adult, she was about the same as a little girl in her teens today. Her face is different from ours: her mouth is protruding, and her head is only 1/3 of ours.
Now, no matter where you are or who are from the country, we all come from the same ancestor - Lucy. So, for humans on Earth, we are all one family.
03 Why are we different?
When my child and I saw "We are a family", the child said: "Why are we starving when we see African children on TV? "
Yes, since we are a family and the same ancestor, why are we different? There are many differences in hair, skin, body shape, etc.!
About 150,000 years ago, our ancestors appeared in Africa. They should have begun a great migration in order to explore the broader world, and their footprints have reached almost every corner of the earth. They crossed rivers, crossed mountains, and some also tried to sail at sea, and it took many years to reach the island.
Along the way, they stopped to eat, sleep, and gave birth to babies... If they felt that this place was good, they would live for a while, or settle here; at the same time, some people continued to move forward, exploring new homes, and gradually spreading the entire earth.
Seeing the road map of our ancestors to explore the world, I really had to give my thumbs up in that era when the journey was mainly based on my legs.
is wrong. Since we are still the same ancestor, why are we still different? Because we come from different places.
People who stay in different regions, in order to adapt to different living environments, hot or cold, rainy or less rain, let us have different characteristics.
For example, in Africa, the light in dark skin can protect them from sunburn ; and in places with less light, light skin absorbs more vitamin D in the sun to ensure healthy growth. So people who left Africa gradually became lighter in their skin.
For example, in hot areas, most people are tall and slim, and they need to sweat more to dissipate calories. Just like the nomads of East Africa Horse ; on the contrary, people living in cold areas have short and strong figures, and they can preserve their heat as much as possible. Just like the Eskimos living near Arctic Circle .
Explore the universe and the earth, understand human history, and search for the roots and roots together.
Thinking of when we were young, everything in our lives was what we saw is what we get. As long as we are willing to study what we see, we can basically do it ourselves; now, when a child is born, he can only be a consumer of food, clothing, use, see, play, etc., cars, planes, rockets... they are even more common and ignore them.
read "Time Map" and let the child shuttle through the 13.8 billion-year time tunnel. It turns out that what is taken for granted in life is the result of continuous exploration and innovation of human beings. Including our bodies, they are miracles that have evolved continuously for 13.8 billion years.
Why are we a family? Why are we different...
Use time maps to enlighten children on natural science, astronomy and geography, so that children’s world is not limited to one moment, one country and one family!
