Chinese Research Institute for Science Popularization had made a survey on the current situation of scientists understanding science popularization in Beijing. The future scientists -graduate students and scientists were involved in the survey. The results showed that most of the scientists and future scientists understood science rationally. And they had a higher degree of attention on science popularization and an ability to judge the role of science popularization. They also concerned their own abilities of science popularization and social influence on science popularization. More than half of the respondents said that their reason for participation in science popularization was “appointed by the unit and individual voluntary”. The result also reflected some problems and differences between scientists and future scientists in the understanding of science popularization. The promotion mechanisms of scientist involved in science popularization were mentioned.
Industrial Park for Science Popularization (IPSP) is an important platform for research, development, production, exhibition, trade, distribution and services of science popularization resources, which also is one of the major projects in construction of Resources Distribution Center for Science Popularization (RDCSP). Based on symbiotic theory and theories of industrial clustering, this paper presents a strategy to promote development of IPSP with accurate positioning and combination of external environment and internal resources in Wuhu, Anhui.
Public interest plays an important role in their visiting science museums.

Currently there exists a common problem of permanent exhibitions in science centers in China, which is most exhibition are quite the same, lack of innovation. This problem seriously affected the level of exhibition improvement and educational function in science centers in China. Three actions need to been taken to change this current situation. The first one is to break the old design style of exhibit oriented. The second one is to understand the exhibition theme correctly, then extract and show it exactly. The third one is to follow design process systematically and focus on the basic research, overall planning and quality of design content.
