Scientific literacy constitutes an important part which contributes to the enhancement of scientific literacy of the citizens, and children’s science books are an important supplementary materials for science education regarding enhancing scientific literacy of children. However, children’s science books have not got the attention parents and teachers. Even they are aware of the importance of books, they find it difficult to select the fine books for their children. From that sense, in order to discuss the importance of children’s books, and guide parents and teachers to buy the fine books, the children’s science books in the market are clearly classified, and efforts are made to dig its education value by using big-data technology. In a nutshell, exploring the science education in science books is particularly relevant.

Museums are increasingly tied to the visitors. Currently, there is an increasing recognition that museums are existing and available principally for visitors, thus the significance of studies on visitors for the development of museums is self-evident. To know and study visitors has become a necessary basis of for that kind of work, and a standard for assessing high-quality exhibition. The paper conducts case studies on visitors of An Ode to Wuxing exhibition in Huzhou Museum from behaviors, knowledge acquirement and emotion measurement by starting from theories of definition evolution of studies on museum visitors and categorizing and classification of visitors, combined with interactive experience and “visitor-oriented assessment level” mode of research method. Meanwhile, on the basis of visitor study theories, we shall pay more attention to local, community and personal experience during the visitor study.

As the scale and quantity of extracurricular scientific activities of senior high school students continue to expand, it is necessary to investigate the scientific attitude of the participating students. The “Scientific Attitude Inventory (SAI II) ”, which was revised by Moore and Foy in 1997, was employed in our research. We investigated 63 high school students with scientific attitudes, who participated in the extracurricular activities of Innovative Talents Training Program of Basic Education in Beijing. This survey finds that the students, who take the initiative to participate in extracurricular activities, are more active in science. The difference between boys and girls is obvious in terms of emotional attitude towards science. In addition, 57.1% of the students surveyed have difficulty in understanding the limits of science. Most of the students lack a sufficient understanding of the value orientation of scientific theory.

Science education serves as a main way of cultivating creative talents, improving citizen’s scientific literacy and improving the core competitiveness of the country. In this paper, the elementary and secondary mathematics and science education indicators in the 11 issues of “science and engineering indicators (1996—2016) ” were analyzed. The research focuses, construction and the data sources of the elementary and secondary mathematics and science education indicators were studied. This inspires us to pay more attention to students’ mathematics and science curriculum, science teachers and teaching techniques and students’ achievement. Some constructive proposals are put forward in the paper: it is necessary to establish a long-term, sustainable and nationwide monitoring system for the quality of math and science education in elementary and secondary schools in China; regulations of periodic reporting on the quality of math and science education in elementary and secondary schools in China need to be established as well.

The paper conducts a comprehensive analysis of the birth and development of contemporary Chinese science fairy tales based on the historical changes of social context, and divides its writing during the 100 years into five major periods, namely 1. initial stage (1920—1949); 2. emerging stage (1949—1966); 3. suppression stage (slack stage) (1966—1976); 4. booming stage (1976—1999); 5. rejuvenating stage (2000—). It also offers a thorough analysis of the achievements, features and experiences of each stage, and holds great confidence and expectation of its new development in the rejuvenating stage.

With the development of science and technology, human beings’ reflection of the ultimate fate of the universe becomes even more profound, and science fiction carries an important embodiment of this thinking. In the paper, the authors try to explore the differences of concept of universe between the science fiction of The Three-Body Problem and Ender’s Game, they were both awarded as the Science Fiction Achievement Awards.

In the paper, the chemistry textbooks published during the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China are taken as the research object, representative textbooks during different periods and publishing data are analyzed, and the development of these textbooks and the characteristics of their changes are studied. Chemistry textbooks of modern China originated from textbooks translated from abroad, and were compiled independently later. The presentation and content of chemistry textbooks were perfected gradually and were more attentive to teaching, which promoted school education and science communication. The evolution of these textbooks reflected the development of chemistry and the perception of education.

By adopting a comprehensive text analysis of the historical documentations, the paper follows a study of Hou-Kun Chow in the following aspects: (1) it schematically sorts out the track of Hou-Kun Chow’s lifetime and finds that there are two motivations for Chow to study western knowledge of science and technology, one for the rejuvenation of China, and the other for his own interest and career, especially in the later years studying abroad. (2) it focuses on an analysis of a piece of treatise containing Chow’s elaboration about his typewriter. This treatise also discusses three kinds of failure to invent a typewriter, among which Chow held in contempt to the attempt of tearing down Chinese characters. In contrast, Chow’s invention has a significant importance on protecting Chinese characters and developing Chinese language. However, Chow preferred himself to be memorized as one of the Chinese typewriter’s independent inventors rather than “The Father of Chinese Typewriter”. (3) the result of the analysis shows that the basis of Chow’s technological thoughts lies in the Chinese traditional ideology of Confucianism and Buddhism implicated in Chinese language and character. Based on it, this paper generalizes his theoretical and empirical opinions on technical invention and believes that they are quite enlightening even today, which are embodied in either the beginning, proceeding or post period of a technological study.

This study uses Tu Youyou winning the Nobel Prize as an example to help understand scientific events in a variety of media platforms, such as traditional media and social media communications. Content analysis method is used to analyze traditional media and social media news reports. It’s easy to find in the research that social media pays higher attention than that of traditional media in this regard. The timeliness found on social media is pretty shorter than that of traditional media, but topics fade very quickly. As regards what they are concerned about, the event of issues are also different, traditional media are more biasedly congratulated where the public spread science knowledge. Social media platforms are more inclined to science communication in the “human” participation and controversial issue, meanwhile, social media science texts presented on quality, depth of content, and issues affecting traditional media, its role in science communication should not be ignored.
