Mianyang News Network "Why do paper clips ‘dance’?" "How do you fertilize crops properly?" "How do you give first aid to a patient when an accident happens?" On March 14, the main activity of science Popularization Month of 2023 "Scientific and technological innovation will lead the way, and urban and rural development will be integrated" was held in the square of Mianyang Science and Technology Museum.
At the event site, the district departments of Youxian District set up 20 high-level science popularization service desks to publicize women's health knowledge, afforestation, consumer rights and interests, ecological environmental protection, garbage classification, disaster prevention and reduction, fire safety, food safety, drug control, science and technology, healthy life and other science knowledge, and distributed relevant science popularization materials.

At the activity site, Aunt Zhao was learning first aid knowledge under the guidance of the Red Cross Society staff in Youxian District. The staff asked questions on the spot after "popularizing science" first aid knowledge: "How many chest compressions?" Standing on one side, Aunt Li, who had just learned, answered quickly: "To press 30 times, artificial respiration twice, continue to press."
Not far away from the service counter, the "technology Caravan" was lined up with cutting-edge scientific devices and interesting scientific interactive experience equipment, which became the focus of the audience. People gathered in front of more than 10 science and technology exhibits, such as dancing paper clips, collaborative ball grabbing and virtual reality experience, to feel the happiness brought by science in "give it a try" and "think about it" (as shown in the figure).
Yao Huarui, a sixth-grade student from Wuli Road Primary School in Youxian District, tries out each technology exhibit one by one, accompanied by his mother. "What do you see through VR glasses?" "Why are plant cells different?" One side, the staff asked questions, and patiently explained the principle one by one, Yao Huarui and the children in the process of participating in popular science activities, increasing scientific knowledge. Wang Yule, a fourth grade student in Wu Li Road Primary school   told reporters, "Through the on-site activities, I personally feel the charm of science and technology, but also deepened my interest in crop science planting, such as holiday, I want my mother to take me to the field to have a look!"
