Local museums offer special Children’s Day gifts
From:Shanghai Daily  |  2020-06-01 08:29

Children learnt to make compasses, model rafts and also purify water during an activity on how to survive in the wilderness held by the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum on Saturday.

What if you are stranded on a desert island alone? The first thing is to have clean water. Guided by the museum’s staff, children learnt to use cotton, towels, paper and activated carbon to purify a cup of water mixed with soil, mud and dead branches.

They also used straws to make small model rafts and used magnets to create compasses.

The Shanghai Natural History Museum has also designed a special gift for children to celebrate Children’s Day.

The museum’s experts wrote books about animals, plants and science exploration and developed interactive games and online classes for children to explore the natural world by themselves.

Both museums will allow children below 1.4 meters to enter for free until June 7. Children’s Day falls today.

At The Place shopping mall, a variety of interactive activities are designed for children to explore the creatures of the ocean, experience the advancing technology of virtual reality and learn aerospace knowledge in a new “Hey Duggee” theme park until July 19. Hey Duggee is a popular cartoon made by the BBC.
