Abstract

Abstract Several papers have highlighted the potential of network science to appeal to a younger audience of high school children and provided lesson material on network science for high school children. However, network science also provides a great topic for outreach activities for primary school children. Therefore, this article gives a short summary of an outreach activity on network science for primary school children aged 8–12 years. The material provided in this article contains presentation material for a lesson of approximately 1 hour, including experiments, exercises, and quizzes, which can be used by other scientists interested in popularizing network science. We then discuss the lessons learned from this material.

将网络科学引入小学

几篇论文强调了网络科学吸引高中生的潜力，并为高中生提供了网络科学的课程材料。然而，网络科学也为小学生的外展活动提供了一个很好的话题。因此，本文对一项针对8-12岁小学生的网络科学推广活动进行了简要的总结。本文中提供的材料包含大约1小时的课程演示材料，包括实验、练习和测验，可供其他对普及网络科学感兴趣的科学家使用。然后我们讨论从这些材料中学到的教训。

期刊介绍： Network Science is an important journal for an important discipline - one using the network paradigm, focusing on actors and relational linkages, to inform research, methodology, and applications from many fields across the natural, social, engineering and informational sciences. Given growing understanding of the interconnectedness and globalization of the world, network methods are an increasingly recognized way to research aspects of modern society along with the individuals, organizations, and other actors within it. The discipline is ready for a comprehensive journal, open to papers from all relevant areas. Network Science is a defining work, shaping this discipline. The journal welcomes contributions from researchers in all areas working on network theory, methods, and data.
