I don’t know "Grandma Wu", and it’s vain to read popular science.
There is a saying in "The Deer and Ding Ji"-if you don't know Chen Jinnan, you can call it a hero in vain.
Recently, this sentence has been used by netizens, and there is a saying that "I don't know Grandma Wu, and it's useless to read all the popular science."
Where is Grandma Wu sacred?
Let's listen to the editor slowly speaking-
"The number of interviewees has increased, and this is the biggest change in my life." When asked by reporters about the feeling of "popularity", Grandma Wu, professor of physics of the Internet celebrity, replied without thinking.

In front of her, she has gray hair, wearing a marked "treasure" vest, sitting on a high stool, and coordinating with the cameraman's adjustment, "Is this all right? Is it all right?" When she asked, there was no expression on her face.
Put your hands on your legs and keep your back straight, as if you can start class in the next second.

"I'm still Grandma Wu in the Grand View Garden of Science"
Grandma Wu, whose real name is Wu Yuren, is 72 years old this year.
After retiring from Tongji University, he has been focusing on physics science.
In the short video of Grandma Wu, all scientific principles have become lovely and vivid.
Einstein's theory of relativity is not easy to understand. She is riding a bicycle while showing the visual effects of the theory of relativity.
No one has seen a cosmic ray. She used a broom to show everyone its trajectory.

With decades of teaching experience, the professional and interesting Grandma Wu quickly became popular online.
While attracting big fans, she also attracted the attention of the media. As for the popularity, she personally doesn't care about it.
But more people began to pay attention to physics, which made her very happy.
"When you come here, I can let more people know what I want to promote, which makes me very happy." But the influx of interviews made her a little uncomfortable. "Every time you come, I have to do less work. , This is the netizens who are sorry for waiting for my update."

Every time I interviewed, I was asked the same question "Why is it called Grandma?"
"I've asked it n times." She replied again after she finished feeling, "Among my past students, girls had children first, and they came to visit me, and then I liked them. When I wanted to call me, I just said It's called'grandma', this is how it came."
As for adding a prefix to "Science Grandma", she didn't like it very much. "This was added to me by our young teacher. I don't think I can call it complete science." Grandma Wu added, "I think I'm still Grand View Garden. Grandma Wu in here feels novel everywhere. It's okay to call it'playing science' grandma or'love science' grandma'."

For her, it is not simple how to explain the content of "Gao Da Shang" within tens of seconds, one minute or two. Their expressions and concentration..."
In order to make the content better, she would think over and over again before making the video.
Sometimes I didn't come up with a satisfactory idea for a few weeks, so I just didn't shoot.
"Like the Maxwell goblin, I have never thought about how to shoot." She was not very satisfied with the videos that had been posted.
"Looking back, every one of them can be diligent."

"Adolescents are a piece of white paper just to be scribbled"
"Grandma" is a northern term, but Wu Yuren is from Shanghai.
He went to Beijing with his family at the age of 8, and returned to Shanghai at the age of 16.
Although only 7 years old, the "grandma" in the Northern language family still makes her feel more cordial even decades later.
The love for physics also began to sprout from that time.
Wu Yuren’s father was the first generation of astronauts in New China. His work was both mysterious and busy. He usually had only a few hours on Sundays to be with his children in a week.
During those hours, he often explained to the children brainy topics in the magazine.

"If this person tells lies and that person tells the truth, how would it be. At first, we always let us guess first, and then my brother and I guess." After a round of thinking, Father Wu announced the correct answer. , Help the two little guys sort out their ideas.
Later, when he grows up a little bit, Wu Yuren will bring home toys like "Twelve Trickling Pieces".
Not only was she interested, but Wu's father and Wu's mother also followed suit.
"A flat rectangle of this kind, made up of many small squares. Then it is very difficult to put it back into the box, but my whole family makes it." Grandma Wu said with a smile, "My father bought that kind of square book. Just write it down, and then make the second one, and write down the ones that are different from the previous ones. I have memorized a lot of books. I still have two at home, but I also lost a few."

In her opinion, guiding children to think is very important.
Teenagers have not formed a fixed mindset, just like a piece of white paper waiting to be scribbled, as long as they have good inspiration and guidance, they can create unexpected surprises.
A student she taught by accident caught her video and immediately transferred it to her child to study, and then took the child to visit the practice base; Guan Dayong, who was taught by her, is now at the base with her Teaching, and Guan Dayong coached the students of physics at the time, and was also the teacher here... The love of physics has become the fate of mentoring and apprenticeship from generation to generation.
"Let more people feel the power of science"
"I hope that all the people will study physics, do you have a big tone?" Talking about her expectations, Grandma Wu smiled.
When teaching "University Physics", Wu Yuren discovered that many students are "afraid" of physics.
Even students majoring in physics in colleges and universities are good at doing problems but don't really love physics.
Combining teaching practice and personal experience, she thinks it might be because children lack curiosity about the objective world.

But if you use experiments to attract people, everything may be different.
"Through experimental phenomena, you can analyze with him again. What is in contact with this thing is what is around, there is air, and the gravity of the earth. If you enlighten him a little bit like this, he will analyze some problems. Then he only has one point. As mentioned, if there is a little connection, you can praise him, and the students will become interested gradually, and their self-confidence will be strong. So I think that doing experiments is a particularly good way to improve students' self-confidence."
But Grandma Wu also knows that not all parents approve of this learning mode.
And what she wants to do is to return the child's nature and stimulate their interest.

"If it is always three points and one line from school-road-home, life is very boring, and writing essays can't make up anything." He failed to work on the subject and came back to death, encouraged to come again, and finally succeeded, he wrote The composition is good.
"Ms. Wu laughed, "So the students we teach writing essays in school won the first prize of Shanghai What Composition Competition.
Just think about it, learn a course and make up a few.
He estimated that mathematics would be good too, and math tools would be used, so he could do multiple things in one fell swoop.
"
Some parents don't approve it, and she can't help it.
In her opinion, “research ability and research spirit are both important. The sooner a child takes detours, the sooner he will be frustrated, the ability to resist frustration when he grows up is also strong, and the possibility of detours when he grows up is also small."
"Grandma, the next video,
What kind of experiment are you going to take?
"
"This won't be known until it is done..."
