The Science Encyclopedia
Instructor: Shunshun
Shunshun, a 10th-grade student, is a genuine "science enthusiast" who dreams big and acts small.
A "Walking Encyclopedia": Her journey began with a childhood love for science books. For her, science is an unfolding story rather than a set of rigid rules. This deep immersion has given her a unique ability to simplify complex ideas into engaging, relatable concepts.
The "White Coat" Experience: With over 240 hours of internship at a dental clinic, Shunshun has moved beyond textbooks to see how science heals. This hands-on journey has shaped her into a disciplined and empathetic young mentor.
The Young Innovator: Shunshun doesn't just study science; she lives it. With an orthodontic patent pending, she proves that curiosity, when paired with persistence, leads to real-world impact.
Course Description:
The Science Encyclopedia: This course is built upon the world-renowned "Everything You Need to Ace Science in One Big Fat Notebook". This isn't just about reading a textbook; it’s an invitation to see the world through scientists' eyes and rediscover the fascinating secrets behind how our universe works.
Students will gain a Complete Map of Science: Move beyond fragmented facts. Together, we will connect the dots between Biology, Physics, Chemistry, and Earth Science to build a comprehensive "big picture" of the scientific world.
The instructor will personally share her methods for transforming dense text into intuitive mind maps and hand-drawn notes, making the learning process a visual and enjoyable journey. By sharing real-life stories from her patent application and clinical internship, the instructor will guide students to break free from conventional thinking and develop a keen, scientist-like insight. While exploring science, students will naturally master authentic English scientific terminology, giving them a head start and "wings" for their future academic goals.
