Grade Three PYP Explores Science│三年级国际班的“科学”探究

It’s been a dynamic learning experience this unit in Grade Three! We are currently exploring our science-based unit:How The World Works.

本学期开始，三年级的同学们就开启了新的探索之路，本单元他们探究的主题是：世界如何运作。

In this unit, our students have taken on the role of scientists. They’ve learned about the properties of matter and have used their knowledge of phase changes to make ice cream. They’ve explored the properties of solids, liquids and gases in engaging learning centers. They’ve inquired into electrical energy and have built their very own circuits. They are now in the process of understanding different forms of energy and how they work.

本单元，同学们纷纷变成了小科学家。他们学习了物质的性质，并运用物理变化的原理制造了冰激凌。他们探究了固体、液体和气体的性质，探究了电能，动手制作了电路。目前，他们正在学习能量的不同形式以及它们是如何运作的。

Wednesday’s trip to the Science and Technology Museum was a blast! Our third grade students loved engaging in the hands-on displays and activities the museum had to offer. Students were able to explore the four different kinds of energy we have been learning about.

3月20日，同学们又开启了一段激动人心的科技馆之旅。三年级的同学们尽情体验着科技馆中的各种项目，并探究了我们学过的四种不同的能量。

But the learning didn’t stop there- the students’ curiosity was also triggered by the range of other science topics in the museum. They had ample time to explore and inquire into the things that interested them.

除此之外，同学们对馆内其他的科学主题也非常感兴趣，他们有充足的时间探究他们感兴趣的东西。

On this field trip, our students were given the opportunity to deepen their understanding of our unit on energy in an engaging, hands-on manner. That is what the PYP is all about!
