I am Wang Yaping. I will host the lecture today. ”Female astronaut Wang Yaping, one of the three crew members of Shenzhou-Ⅹspacecraft, greeted about 330 students at a Beijing high school, through a live video feed system. The students on her class included children from migrant workers’ families, of ethnic minorities and from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. 　　In this space class, Wang carried out some physics experiments about motion(运动)and surface tension(张力)of water in a micro-gravity environment(微重力环境), which can help students better understand weight, mass and Newton’s Laws. The most amazing one is“a water ball”, Wang Yaping makes a water film(水膜)with a water bag and a metal ring. She explained to students that the surface tension of water enlarges in space because of zero gravity. Then she made a second water film turn into a water ball. “I have been very excited since I learned I could come to this class, ”said Luo Jiangyuan, in his first year of high school. “When I learned about those laws of weightless condition at classes before, the teacher couldn’t show the experiment for us, so I needed to imagine what would happen. But, at today’s class, I am able to see what really happens. It is too exciting, ”he said. Wang is the second Chinese female astronaut after Liu Yang. It was also the second video class delivered from above the Earth’s surface, with the US astronaut Barbara Morgan’s 25-minute class being the first in 2007. As some scientists believed, the lesson is aimed at making space science more popular. Space activities can also help the youth build up the spirit of seeking science and facing challenges. 【文章大意】2013年6月20日,
