Science for Everyone
适合所有人的科学
Chile is a long and beautiful country with the ocean to the west and mountains to the east.
智利是一个狭长而美丽的国家，西临海洋，东临山脉。
Some of the villages are a very long way from the cities, and some of the schools are very small.
有些村庄离城市很远，有些学校很小。
It's difficult for small schools to teach science because they don't have enough teachers or equipment.
小学校很难教授科学，因为他们没有足够的教师或设备。
This is where the Science Bus project can help.
这就是科学巴士项目可以提供帮助的地方。
The bus brings special science teachers, new ideas, and equipment to schools in different parts of the country.
这辆巴士为全国各地的学校带来了特殊的科学教师、新想法和设备。
Sometimes, the children go inside the bus for their science classes or clubs.
有时，孩子们会进入公共汽车里上科学课或参加俱乐部。
Sometimes, the teachers bring the equipment inside the school building. The children do experiments.
有时，老师会把设备带进教学楼。孩子们就可以做实验了。
The materials used in the experiments are easy to find -- for example, recycled plastic bottles -- so that the class teacher can repeat the experiments with the class after the bus leaves.
实验使用的材料很容易找到，比如回收的塑料瓶，这样班主任就可以在校车离开后和同学们一起重复实验。
The goal of the Science Bus is to bring science to children all over Chile.
科学巴士的目标是让智利各地的孩子们接触到科学。
Since 2012, the bus has visited many schools in Chile, and hundreds of teachers have learned how to make their science classes fun and exciting.
自2012年以来，该巴士已经到访了智利的许多学校，数百名教师已经学会了如何让他们的科学课变得有趣和令人兴奋。
In other parts of the world, children can take part in events called Bioblitzes.
在世界其他地方，孩子们可以参加被称为“竞生多”的活动。
During a Bioblitz, scientists, families, students, teachers, and other people work together to collect as many different kinds of plants and animals as possible in a certain place, such as a park or a forest.
在“竞生多”活动中，科学家、家人、学生、老师和其他人一起在公园或森林等特定地点收集尽可能多的不同种类的植物和动物。
Bioblitzes are a fun way to help scientists and to discover more about the plants and animals around us.
“竞生多”活动是一种有趣的方式，可以帮助科学家发现更多关于我们周围的植物和动物的信息。
Science is important for all of us because it helps us understand our world.
科学对我们所有人都很重要，因为它有助于我们了解自己的世界。
We can learn about science inside or outside of the classroom.
我们可以在课内外学习到科学知识。
