    Management of the benefit of science and technology museums will strengthen the construction of museums, reinforce the development of infrastructure and promote national popular science capacity. Based on defining management the benefit of science and technology museums, this paper makes a data analysis on current situation, and then discusses causes of the problems. Finally, countermeasures are put forward.

    The science and technology museums share science educational functions. This paper puts forward that the science and technology museums in China should renew their ideas of the popular science education. Meanwhile some strategies should be considered such as the integration resources, the positioning, the theme design and so on.

    The science and technology museums serve the essential functions of communicating science and technology, and play an important role in the modern science communication system. In this paper, an analysis is given to the diversification of the science and technology museums, communication practices, communication forms and comparative advantages. The analysis shows that the communicating services of the science & technology museums cannot be replaced, with their ample contents, various forms, visual images, comprehensive exhibitions.

    More and more people have paid great attention to the improvement of the students' comprehensive quality with the development of the science and technology. Under the ideal conditions, museums should offer students the visual scenes of science and facilitate their acquisition of knowledge and technology skills with leisure. Museums together with schools are responsible for the well-being of the next generation, for they serve the same goal, namely, to educate students. Several ways were adapted to improve students' scientific literacy. Teachers in schools and staffs in museums together can make museum-based curriculum, provide professional training for science teachers, create worksheet based on the museum exhibitions, and improve the ways of exhibiting to facilitate class in museums.

    On the basis of exploring school-based curriculum development based on the interaction between museum and school, this paper analyzes the basic requirements of integrating scientific and technological museums and schools, studies some examples about developing school-based curriculum with venues, such as the setting of course objectives, organ-ization of course resources, preparation of teaching materials, implementation of the course and the process of curriculum evaluation. A mode about science education and communication for the adolescents through scientific and technological museums can be established so as to promote the integration of scientific and technological museums into Chinese public education system.

    In recent years, along with the increasing number of science venues, their educational function has been paid much more attention. From the view of the school education, a new round of curriculum reform of education started in 2001. This reform stressed using the equipment and facilities in science and technology museums. This paper discussed the concept and function of worksheet, and tried to create a input-process-output (IPO) theory model, expecting to provide a reference for the related aspects.

    Worksheet is a self learning educational material that can enable teachers to guide students and parents. Exhibits are the main educational resources in science and technology museums. Science and technology museums design worksheet to make it become a learning tool. This paper relied on a research program me held by China Association for Science and Technology in 2010, and some thoughts are summarized.

    With the urgent need of the construction of grass-roots civil society and rising-up of the citizen science culture literacy, science popularization work gradually shows its importance. Integrating the current situation of community science popularization and relevant theories, this paper focuses on the subject of community science popularization, analyzes the current situation, and puts forward the collaborative multi-subject community science popularization mode. The mode is on the basis of characteristics and advantages of community. Through the interaction of five kinds of subjects, including government, schools, enterprises and public media, and other organizations and individuals, these subjects have formed a more collaborative work situation. At the same time, this paper also discusses the key work of community science popularization under this mode to provide the reference for the development and system construction of community science popularization.

    The trainings of science museum professionals in the forms of advanced education and/or continuing education in developed countries represented by the United States of America and Japan are references and inspirations viewed from many aspects of their training system, mode and content. Vigorous development of classification museum study as well as the specialized segmentation of professional training should be applied; pedagogy of museum, communication of museum and exhibition planning and designing courses should be intensified; balance between theatrical and practical training of multidisciplinary talents should be valued in order to meet the true need of museum.
