Climate Change
1. Global Natural History Day - the National Competition
I won the National First Prize in the competition "2022 Global Natural History Day".
In the competition, I explored the mysteries of natural science, selected topics such as "Earth's magnetic field" based on the competition theme, collected information, conducted in-depth learning, and write a report, and also present and explain the research results to teachers and other participants. The project is a collaborative, interdisciplinary endeavor with an authentic, incredibly high-stakes outcome: the future of our planet.
