The Ensonglopedia of Science

这个项目是由苏塞克斯大学物理与天文系（以下简称UoS）、其他一些英国科学机构以及一组在戏剧和音乐领域获奖的科学传播者合作完成的。通过音乐和喜剧的形式，让年轻人对现代科学研究感到兴奋。艺术委员会资助的现场表演构成了项目的核心，将是一个快速移动的，事实丰富的戏剧体验，吸引儿童和成人。将制作音乐视频，向更广泛的观众传播该节目的科学知识。将分发教学辅助工具，将节目的所有部分与学校课程联系起来，并突出相关的职业道路。虽然该项目向观众介绍了许多科学领域，但目前的应用主要集中在6首歌曲及其附带的视频上，它们传达了这些研究领域：*一首关于原子、粒子物理和标准模型的歌曲，参考了欧洲核子研究中心的发现。随附的视频将找到一个原始的和轻松的方法来表示原子结构象形文字。科学顾问是美国大学的达伦·巴斯基尔博士。一首关于Bangs （Big & small）的歌。这首歌将探索a)大爆炸宇宙学，从第一个纳秒到重组（参考由stfc资助的普朗克卫星收集的数据）；b)一般的爆炸，包括伽马射线暴（参考stfc资助的雨燕太空望远镜）。科学顾问：美国大学stfc资助的Mark Hindmarsh教授。*一首关于量子力学的歌曲，探索量子技术研究的前沿。科学顾问：科学畅销书作家约翰·格里宾博士。一首关于核聚变能源的歌曲，与Culham核聚变能源中心合作制作。它将a)解释核聚变的基本原理，重点关注太阳产生的能量，b)区分核聚变和裂变能，c)强调实现可持续核聚变反应堆的步骤。*一首关于熵和宇宙终结的可能场景的歌曲，参考了stfc资助的爱丁堡皇家天文台（ROE）对暗能量的研究。科学顾问：ROE的Andrew Liddle教授。*一首关于时间的歌曲，探讨了我们对这个概念的日常理解，爱因斯坦的狭义相对论，时间在量子引力中的作用，时间之箭和不可逆性，并参考了stfc资助的ROE研究。科学顾问：ROE的Marina Cortes博士。其他未由STFC资助的项目领域将交流昆虫学（与伦敦自然历史博物馆合作）、植物学（剑桥大学植物园）、干细胞研究和癌症治疗（干细胞和再生医学中心）、DNA （Nemesis生物科学）、分娩（布莱顿和苏塞克斯大学医院NHS信托基金）、人类学（拉夫堡大学）等。该项目将通过将每个部分与所有相关关键阶段的课程精心联系起来来补充学校内的科学学习，这些内容将通过展览附带的预订包和教学辅助材料、项目网站和邮寄给学校的方式提供给学校。教学包还将详细介绍项目科学顾问的职业道路，将科学作为一种职业选择。通过将科学描述为一项持续的探索，该项目将激发观众的想象力，点燃他们进一步研究的愿望。这将鼓励年轻人与父母、老师和同龄人之间的争论。它的特别目的是鼓励贫困地区的儿童参与科学，在参观学校期间重点关注这些地区。从长远来看，希望该项目能够通过激励下一代科学家来帮助国民经济

This project is a collaboration between the Physics & Astronomy Department at the University of Sussex (hereafter UoS), a number of other UK scientific institutions, and a team of award-winning science communicators working in theatre and music. It will get young people excited about contemporary scientific research by presenting it through music and comedy. The Arts Council-funded live show that forms the project's centrepiece will be a fast-moving, fact-packed theatrical experience that appeals to children and adults alike. Music videos will be made to spread the show's scientific learning to a broader audience. Teaching aids linking all parts of the show to the school curriculum, and highlighting relevant career paths, will be distributed.While the project informs its audience about many areas of science, the current application focuses on 6 songs & their accompanying videos, which communicate these areas of research:* A song about atoms, particle physics and the standard model, with reference to the discoveries made at CERN. The accompanying video will find an original and light-hearted approach to representing atomic structure pictographically. The scientific advisor is Dr Darren Baskill at UoS.* A song about Bangs (Big & small). This song will explore a) Big Bang cosmology, from the first nanoseconds up to recombination (with reference to the data gathered by the STFC-funded Planck Satellite); and b) explosions in general, including gamma ray bursts (with reference to the STFC-funded Swift Space Telescope). Scientific advisor: STFC-funded Professor Mark Hindmarsh at UoS.* A song about quantum mechanics, exploring the cutting edge of research into quantum technology. Scientific advisor: bestselling science author Dr John Gribbin.* A song about fusion energy, produced in partnership with Culham Centre for Fusion Energy. It will a) explain the fundamentals of nuclear fusion with a focus on the energy created in our sun, b) differentiate between fusion and fission power, and c) highlight the steps towards achieving a sustainable fusion reactor.* A song about entropy and the possible scenarios for the end of the Universe, with reference to STFC-funded research into dark energy at the Royal Observatory in Edinburgh (ROE). Scientific advisor: Professor Andrew Liddle at ROE.* A song about time, exploring our everyday understanding of the concept, Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity, the role of time in quantum gravity, the Arrow of Time, and irreversibility, with reference to STFC-funded research at ROE. Scientific advisor: Dr Marina Cortes at ROE.Other project areas not funded by STFC will communicate entomology (in partnership with London's Natural History Museum), botany (Cambridge University Botanic Garden), stem cell research & cancer treatment (Centre for Stem Cells & Regenerative Medicine), DNA (Nemesis Bioscience), childbirth (Brighton & Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust), anthropological science (Loughborough University) and others.The project will supplement the science learning within schools by a careful linking of each segment with the curriculum at all relevant key stages, which will be provided to schools in the booking pack and teaching aids accompanying the show, on the project's website, and in a mail-out to schools. The teaching pack will additionally detail the career paths taken by the project's scientific advisors, promoting the sciences as a career choice. By characterising science as an ongoing quest, the project will spark the imaginations of the audience and ignite a desire for further study. It will encourage debate between youngsters and their parents, teachers and peers. It aims in particular to encourage scientific participation amongst children in deprived areas, through a focus on these areas during the tour of schools. In the longer term, it is hoped that the project will help the national economy by inspiring the next generation of scientists
