This experiential classroom consists of 12 unique and interesting programs. Students can choose the program they are most interested in and participate in one opportunity. Major programs include exploring chemical principles through ‘Is there oxygen in water?’ and understanding environmental and health issues through ‘Let’s learn about mosquitoes and ticks that transmit infectious diseases!’ In addition, ‘Separating tar color from candy and chocolate’ provides an opportunity to learn the principles of food science and experience the joy of experimentation.
Individual applications can be made through the Ulsan Public Facility Reservation Service ( https://yes.ulsan.go.kr) , and schools and groups can apply through the Ggoomgil website ( http://www.ggoomgil.go.kr) .
Ulsan Health and Environment Research Institute has been selected as an ‘Education Donation Career Experience Certification Institution’ by the Ministry of Education for two consecutive times, and has provided quality career experience opportunities to students. This re-certification is valid from 2024 to 2027, and is the result of the research institute’s experience program receiving high evaluations.
Sim Min-ryeong, director of the Ulsan Health and Environment Research Institute, said, “This experiential classroom will help elementary school students increase their interest in science and explore future career paths,” and added, “We will continue to develop and operate various educational programs in the future.”
Winter vacation is a valuable opportunity for students to discover their academic interests and feel the value of learning on their own. This science experience class will allow students to feel the fun of science and will also be a beneficial time for parents to contribute to their children’s academic growth.
