Last Wednesday, the grade 4 and grade 5 students had an exciting and educational field trip to the science museum as part of their unit on energy. The kids are such excellent risk-takers to explore different forms of energy and learn how energy is used in daily life.
上周三，四年级和五年级的学生们进行了一次激动人心且富有教育意义的科技馆之旅，他们本单元的探究主题是关于能量。在探索不同形式的能量和学习日常生活中能量的应用方面，这些孩子们展示出了出乎意料的冒险精神。
Before going to the museum, students were asked to search for the energy and find out the answer to those questions: What is it like? How does it work? Why is it the way it is? How is it changing and how is it connected to other things?
在前往博物馆之前，我们要求孩子们搜索关于能量的信息，并找出这些问题的答案——它是什么样子？它是如何工作的？为什么它会这样？它是如何变化的，它与其他事物是如何联系的？
Upon arrival at the museum, our knowledgeable students were greeted with interactive exhibits showcasing various forms of energy such as kinetic, potential, thermal, and electrical energy. They had the chance to observe and experiment with different energy sources, including solar panels and water turbines, engaging in hands-on learning experiences that fostered their development of thinking skills.
抵达博物馆后，我们的知识渊博的学生们立马爱上了这些互动展览，这些展览展示了各种形式的能量，如动能、势能、热能和电能。他们有机会观察和实验不同的能量来源，包括太阳能电池板和水轮机，通过亲身体验促进了他们思考技能的发展。
One of the highlights of the trip was a demonstration of how energy can be transformed and utilized in everyday objects. The students, being inquirers and thinkers, were amazed to see how energy powers our homes, schools, and transportation systems. They also learned about the importance of conserving energy and using renewable sources to protect the environment, demonstrating their commitment to the IB learner profile attribute of being caring.
这次旅行的亮点之一是关于能量如何转化为日常生活中物体的演示。学生们作为探索者和思考者，惊讶地看到能量如何为我们的家庭、学校和交通系统提供动力。他们还学习了节约能源和使用可再生能源来保护环境的重要性，这展示了他们在IB学习者目标中的关爱精神。
The field trip to the science museum was a fun and enriching experience for the students. It reinforced their understanding of energy concepts and sparked their curiosity and interest in science. We are grateful for the opportunity to provide our students with such a valuable learning experience outside the classroom, promoting their development as IB learners.
去科学博物馆的研学对学生来说既有趣又富有教育意义。它不仅巩固了他们对能量概念的理解，还激发了他们对科学的兴趣。我们对能够为学生们提供如此宝贵的课堂外学习体验感到非常感激，这促进了他们作为IB学习者的成长。
