Leaf Chromatography Experiments

Students conducted experiments to discover why leaves change as winter approaches. This hands-on activity merged botany and chemistry, encouraging scientific inquiry and observation with many students discovering that the colours we see in the autumn can actually be found in leaves all year round.

叶片色谱实验

学生们通过实验探究了为什么冬季临近时树叶会发生变化。这项实践活动将植物学与化学相结合,激发了学生的科学探究和观察能力。


Crafting Recycled Boats

A group of Grade 3 students represented the school in a boat racing competition, competing against students from our affiliated schools, crafting their boat, 田林龙, from recycled materials. This activity blended engineering, design thinking, and environmental responsibility, showcasing teamwork and ingenuity.

制作回收材料船只

三年级学生代表学校参加了一场船只竞赛。他们用回收材料制作了名为田林龙的船只。该活动结合了工程学、设计思维和环境责任感,展示了团队合作精神和创造力。


Engineering Roller Coasters

Students designed and tested creatively Halloween-themed roller coasters using marbles to simulate the ride. Many students successfully created exciting loops that would be thrilling on a real roller coaster. Some students created their roller coasters using a building tool on their tablets and were able to use video editing software to superimpose themselves onto the rides to ‘test’ them. This fun project helped them explore ideas like motion and force while practicing problem-solving and creativity.

设计过山车

学生们设计并测试了用弹珠模拟的、创意十足的万圣节主题过山车。他们成功制作了令人兴奋的环形轨道,有的同学建模并借助编辑软件将自己叠加到过山车上进行测试。此项探究活动培养了学生创新性及解决问题的能力,帮助学生深入地了解运动和力的概念。


Designing Board Games

Students in Grades 1 and 2 learned about the ‘power of play’ as they dived into the long history of games and designed, developed and refined their own simple board games, enhancing creativity, logic, and strategic thinking. Grade 3 students took this one step further by more complex elements with opportunities to make choices etc.  Over a two-week period students built and tested their games and looked out for any opportunities they could find to improve them.

设计棋盘游戏

一年级和二年级的学生学习了棋的悠久历史,了解了棋盘游戏的力量,设计、开发和完善自行设计的棋盘游戏,三年级的学生则加入了更为复杂的元素,制作、测试、寻找改进游戏的各种可能性,这提升了他们的创造力、逻辑思维和战略思维能力。
