The Laboratories for Physics Demonstration and Exploration were established in September 2016. They are located on the 1st to 3rd floor of Siyuan West building, with more than 1300 square meters of usable area. They are mainly responsible for physics demonstration courses in Weihai campus and social science services.
1. Introduction of the Laboratory
The Physics Demonstration and Exploration Laboratory of Beijing Jiaotong University Weihai Campus, relying on BJTU's National Excellent Teaching Base of Engineering Physics, National Demonstration Centre for Experimental Physics Teaching and its National Excellent Teaching Team, has been built with the support of the Weihai Municipal Government and the Administrative Committee of the South China Sea New Area, and it is the largest and the most well-equipped Physics Demonstration and Exploration Laboratory among the colleges and universities in Shandong Province. The scale and modernisation of the laboratory is also at the forefront of universities in China.
2. Laboratory Functions
The Physics Demonstration and Exploration Laboratory provides demonstration laboratory courses for students majoring in Electronics and Communication Engineering, Environmental Science and Engineering, Computer Science and Technology, Information Management and Information Systems, Accounting and Finance, and Business Administration at Weihai Campus. While taking university physics courses and introductory physics courses, students can intuitively feel the scientific principles and deepen their understanding of what they have learnt through the learning and experience of demonstration experiment courses. The lab also provides students with a platform for innovative practice. At the same time, the Physics Demonstration and Exploration Laboratory also serves the social service function of popular science education.
3. Laboratory Composition
The Physics Demonstration and Exploration Laboratory is located on the 1st to 3rd floors of the Siyuan West Building on the Weihai Campus of Beijing Jiaotong University, with an area of more than 1,300 square metres, and is designed with the concept of integrating scientific content and scientific environment.
The hall on the ground floor creates a relaxing and pleasant learning environment through large-scale Foucault pendulums, naked-eye stereoscopic diagrams, and a huge oil painting of the ‘Big Bang’.

The third floor is the student innovation and practice area. Science training classrooms and student science practice programme classrooms can carry out science training and practice teaching for students. The Science and Technology Activity Processing Room can provide an experimental platform for college students' innovation and entrepreneurship training programmes and disciplinary competitions. There are instruments and equipments such as high-speed railway simulation driving platform and comprehensive experimental platform of rail vehicles in the Railway Traffic Characteristics Exhibition Room, which can let students experience the feeling of driving high-speed railway and understand the working principle of high-speed railway. In the Geometric Robotics Room, there are 29 types of robots with 105 pieces in total for display. Through the scientific explanation and display of the structural principles of the robots, visitors can have a preliminary understanding of various mechanical knowledge.
