Learning Experiences Relevant Materials
(1) Introduction➢ Teachers confirm the next destination with students by checking the
three-day itinerary that Ling Ling designed (Appendix 1), and ask students to share their knowledge about the Hong Kong Science Park and the Hong Kong Cultural Centre.
(2) Development➢ Teachers briefly introduce the following background:
The Basic Law allows the HKSAR Government on its own to make policies on science and technology, and culture and arts. In 1998, the Chief Executive Tung Chee Hwa mentioned in his policy address about the construction of the Hong Kong Science Park and the West Kowloon Cultural District so as to provide more suitable venues for the development of science and cultural policy.
➢ Watching PowerPoint:1. Teachers explain the PowerPoint for the story of the Hong Kong Science
Park. (Refer to Appendix 2 for the contents.)2. Students discuss the questions in the PowerPoint.3. After finishing the story and the discussion, teachers point out:
- The Basic Law states that the HKSAR Government makes its own policies on science and technology.
- The Basic Law ensures that the HKSAR Government continues to decide on its own on the scientific and technological standards and specifications that are suitable for Hong Kong.
➢ Teachers explain the story:1. After Ling Ling’s family left the Hong Kong Science Park, they followed
the itinerary and went to watch a drama at the theatre of the Hong Kong Cultural Centre.
2. The programme was about to start! Ling Ling heard an announcement that reminded the audience not to take photos and videos. Do you know why? (e.g. This is because all the creations are copyrighted. / To prevent breaking intellectual rights. / To protect and respect the relevant creations.)

3. After two hours, the performance ended in applause. The performer said he thanked the Leisure and Cultural Services Department for funding the performance, including the provision of a free venue. If the Government did not provide the free venue, what would be the effect on Ling Ling? (e.g. There would be fewer choices of programmes. / Mother thought that the ticket fees were too high and she would not bring Ling Ling to watch the programme.)
➢ Group Discussion:1. Form groups of two to four.2. Finish the matching on “Arts and Cultural Policies” (Appendix 3).3. Teachers bring out that under the protection of the Basic Law, the
HKSAR Government may on its own make arts and culture policies.
(3) Brief Summary➢ Under the protection of the Basic Law, the HKSAR Government on its
own makes policies on science and culture.➢ The Basic Law protects Hong Kong citizens so that they can have
the freedom to do academic research and make artistic creations.➢ The Basic Law states that the HKSAR Government protects in accordance
with the law the legal rights of the creations and scientific inventions of their authors and staff of science and technology. Therefore, the intellectual property rights ordinance in Hong Kong protects the creations and researches of residents, bodies and companies. Scientists and artists may feel safe to make creations in Hong Kong and contribute to the society.

Tips for Teachers:1. During group discussion, it is good for the school to arrange a computer room or a multi-media
learning room for students to search for information on the web. If the arrangement cannot be made, teachers may collect the relevant information beforehand and distribute it to the students during the discussion.
2. Depending on the situation, the school may arrange field visits for the teaching and learning of this unit.3. High-tech enterprises’ setting up branches in Hong Kong and culture and arts bodies’ organizing
performances in Hong Kong involve the Basic Law articles regarding the economy and tourism in Hong Kong. However, to help students focus on the current theme, there is no need for teachers to extend this activity to the topics on economy and tourism.
