CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- May 20 to 31 is the Chongqing Science and Technology Week of 2023. Statistics of Chongqing University Cancer Hospital on May 29 showed that more than 500 primary and middle school students have entered key laboratory of the hospital, participated in interesting science popularization activities and experienced being “physicians”.

Children from Shapingba Primary School are performing “operations” to oranges with their own hands.

Under the guidance of physicians, children took tweezers, hemostatic forceps and other surgical instruments, and “worked” as if they were little physicians.

“After the operation is finished, you may sew the wound for the little orange with your own hands!” The physician instructed the children to use surgical instruments to suture the incision of oranges, simulating the suture of surgical wounds.

Observing pathological sections is one of the daily tasks of medical laboratories. Pupils made tissue slices with onions and other simulations, and observe the slices under a microscope to intuitively learn soft tissue related knowledge.

Where is the specific location of human organs and what are their functions? Children incarnated as physicians and assembled organs for simulated human with their own hands.

Children’s class notes made the real medical staff give thumbs up.

Since the launch of Science and Technology Week, Chongqing University Cancer Hospital has organized various science popularization studios, key laboratories and scientific communication expert teams to carry out 15 series of popular science activities, such as Physician Fat Bear’s Popular Science Experience Hall, Cancer Screening Consultation, Health Science Popularization “Cloud Live Broadcast”, and Science and Technology Practice into Campus, serving more than 500 primary and secondary school students’ science popularization experience, and carrying out 2 science popularization and screening activities for primary and secondary school faculty and staff.
