Ensonglopedia of the Human project: Tools & Technology / Us & The Universe

苏塞克斯大学正在与教育音乐剧公司Ensonglopedia(一家非营利性有限公司)合作，提供由艺术理事会资助的一个更大的科学传播项目的一部分，该项目名为《人类的Ensonglopedia》，将以现场表演、音乐录像带、学校工作坊、CD专辑和数字发行以及教育包的形式在KS2/3向年轻观众传播。该项目从不同的科学和哲学角度探索作为人类意味着什么。这项申请集中在该节目26首教育歌曲中的两首：一首关于工具设计从史前到今天的演变(例如粒子加速器和太空望远镜)，以及一首关于人类与整个宇宙的关系的歌曲。我们将为这两首歌制作一段音乐视频，并制作一部以这些视频为特色的纪录片《网络视频》，以及其他背景科学和对该领域专家的采访。纪录片元素将展示科学背后的人性，激励年轻观众继续深造STEM科目。为了制作视频，我们将在Ditchling小学举办一系列工作坊，在歌曲中传播科学，让孩子们在我们的指导下为视频创作动画元素，从而强调创意艺术与沟通和公众对科学的理解之间的联系。这笔资金还将用于在苏塞克斯大学和格里姆斯比的两所小学举行的现场表演，名为《人类百科全书》。最后，我们将制作一个教师资源包，其中包括游戏、练习和围绕这两首歌的主题进行进一步调查的建议。所有内容，包括歌曲歌词，都将由不同领域的广泛顾问进行同行审查，包括苏塞克斯大学STFC资助的科学家，以及安大略省周长理论物理研究所和里斯本大学的科学家。《工具与技术》歌曲、视频和教师资源将：-以轻松和有趣的方式教育观众，了解人类掌握技术的总体历史，包括用木材、石头和铁和硅，以及火、电磁和基本粒子的利用-通过以有趣和引人入胜的方式介绍课堂主题，激励学校学生继续他们在STEM的学习-补充KS2和KS3的国家课程，特别是关于电、磁、力的使用和功能，以及不同材料的使用《我们与宇宙》歌曲，视频和教师资源将：-就我们目前对大爆炸宇宙学和标准模型粒子物理学的理解教育和娱乐观众-通过以有趣和引人入胜的方式介绍课堂主题，激励学校学生继续他们在物理和天文学相关研究方面的学习-补充KS2和KS3的国家课程，特别是关于地球在太阳系中的位置和运动，以及关于电磁频谱的整个人类项目将：-教育观众关于人文科学的广泛主题，包括解剖学、医疗保健、进化论、社会学、神经科学、农业发展-在观众中激发对科学的尊重，地球和他们的人类同胞-激励年轻人在物理、生物、医学和其他STEM领域追求职业生涯-补充KS2和KS3的国家科学课程

The University of Sussex is teaming up with educational musical theatre company Ensonglopedia (a not-for-profit limited company) to deliver part of a larger Arts Council-funded science communication project entitled 'Ensonglopedia of the Human', which will be disseminated to a young audience at KS2/3 in the form of a live show, music videos, school workshops, an album on CD and digital release, and an educational pack. The project explores what it means to be human, from a variety of scientific and philosophical perspectives.This application focuses on two of the show's 26 educational songs: a song about the evolution of tool design from pre-history to the present day (e.g. particle accelerators & space telescopes), and a song about humankind's relationship with the Universe as a whole. We will be commissioning a music video for both songs, and a documentary 'webisode' featuring these videos as well as additional background science and interviews with experts in the field. The documentary element will showcase the human face behind the science, to inspire its young audience to pursue further study in STEM subjects.In order to make the videos, we will run a series of workshops at Ditchling Primary School, where we will disseminate the science in the songs to enable the children to create the animation elements for the videos under our guidance, thus stressing the links between the creative arts and the communication and public understanding of science. The funding will also pay for performances of the live show, Ensonglopedia of the Human, at the University of Sussex and at two primary schools in Grimsby. And finally we'll produce a teacher's resource pack with games, exercises and suggestions for further investigation around the themes of the 2 songs.All content, including song lyrics, will be peer reviewed by a wide range of advisors in different fields, including STFC-funded scientists at the University of Sussex, and scientists at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Ontario, and the University of Lisbon.The 'Tools & Technology' song, video and teachers' resources will:- educate its audience, in a light-hearted and entertaining way, on the overarching history of humankind's mastering of technology, including the fashioning of tools from wood, stone, iron and silicon, and the harnessing of fire, electro-magnetism and fundamental particles- inspire school students to continue their studies in STEM by presenting their classroom topics in an entertaining & engaging way- supplement the National Curriculum at KS2 and KS3, in particular regarding the uses and functioning of electricity, magnetism, forces, and the use of different materialsThe 'Us & the Universe' song, video and teachers' resources will:- educate and entertain its audience regarding our current understanding of Big Bang cosmology and Standard Model particle physics- inspire school students to continue their studies in physics & astronomy related studies by presenting their classroom topics in an entertaining & engaging way- supplement the National Curriculum at KS2 and KS3, in particular regarding the Earth's position and motion through the solar system, and the electromagnetic spectrum The Ensonglopedia of the Human project as a whole will:- educate its audience on a wide range of subjects in the human sciences, including anatomy, healthcare, evolution, sociology, neuroscience, the development of agriculture- stimulate in its audience a respect for science, the planet and their fellow human beings- inspire young people to pursue careers in physics, biology, medicine, and other STEM areas- supplement the National Curriculum in science at KS2 and KS3
