QuickBites是青岛赫德新开栏目，希望通过简短的视频，能够让大家迅速了解课程近期精彩动态。欢迎观看本期科学课程集锦！

爱迪生说：“惊奇是科学的种子”。在科学探究的这条路上，赫德想要给予孩子们的，首先是一颗好奇之心。

我们相信，当孩子们对某一个现象或某一个问题有了足够的兴趣时，自然而然就会有一种神奇的力量，推着他们去一探究竟，并不断以此为乐。这是科学的魔力，也是科学探究的动力。“我想知道”永远比“你要知道”，更有说服力。

今天，小赫将带领大家走进赫德的国际课程——科学课，感受赫德如何让科学的种子在孩子心中萌芽。

Master Class of Scientific Author 

In November we welcomed renowned children’s Science author, Nick Arnold, to our school to put on two fabulous Science shows. Having visiting authors, experts and artists provides our students with a broad and exciting learning environment that inspires them for the future. Nick Arnold performed many exciting experiments for the children and had many volunteers on the stage to make the children’s experience enjoyable and memorable. Additionally, during events like this, we make use of the Hurtwood House Theatre to really immerse the children in the performance and the excitement of the show.

11月，著名科学作家尼克·阿诺德（Nick Arnold）来访赫德，并带来了两场精彩绝伦的科学秀。随着作家、专家和艺术家的不断来访，我们为孩子们提供的是一个非常广阔而又令人兴奋的学习环境，以此来激发孩子们对世界和未来探究的兴趣。尼克·阿诺德（Nick Arnold）为孩子们展示了一个又一个激动人心的实验，并在舞台上邀请了诸多志愿者参与其中，为孩子们留下了一段愉快和难忘的经历。此外，在这样的活动中，我们充分利用赫德伍德豪斯剧院让孩子们真正沉浸在活动的表演和兴奋中。

Second Grade's Science Class

In Grade 2 the children were looking at the chemical reaction between baking powder and vinegar and observing the creation of carbon dioxide. With the addition of food colourants the children were able to make their very own mini volcanoes! Predicting, forming hypothesis, recording observations and data and then evaluating the outcome by comparing it with their original prediction are all skills that the children have learnt to use regularly both within Science and in how they interact with the wider world. At HD Qingdao it is important to us that our work with the children is fun, engaging and allows the children the freedom to explore their topic creatively so that they can learn both within our structures and through their own investigations. The international team have found that this builds a passion in our students for their Science related learning!

在二年级，孩子们正在观察发酵粉和醋之间的化学反应，以此探究二氧化碳的产生。通过添加食用色素，孩子们还能够制作自己的迷你火山！从预测，到形成假设，再到记录观察结果和数据，最后将结果与最初的预测进行比较以此对结果进行评估，孩子们所学到的这些，是他们在科学领域以及与广泛世界互动中常用的技能。在青岛赫德，对我们来说很重要的一点是，教授孩子们的过程中充满趣味，这让孩子们可以自由地、创造性地探索他们的主题，以便孩子们既能够在我们的课程架构中又能够通过自己的调查学习取得进步。外方团队发现，这样的方法让学生们在学习有关科学的知识时充满热情！

Third Grade's Science Class

Grade 3 are in the middle of their Sound Unit in which we are learning about how sound is created, how it travels and how the ear converts it into information that the brain interprets as sound. It is important to us to have lots of interactions during our lessons and to provide the children with time to discuss their ideas at their tables and in pairs. We want to give the children room to think freely and not just answer questions but also ask questions and discuss ideas.  The children talk and learn in English with only minimal instructions provided in Chinese so that the children are doing exactly what is required of them. By keeping our lessons engaging, interactive and fast-paced, we find that the children make rapid progress. In this lesson the students went from learning about how sounds travel to creating informational videos, all in the space of one lesson!

三年级处于声音单元的学习，在这期间，我们会学习如何创造声音，声音如何传播以及耳朵如何将声音转化为大脑能够阐释的信息。对我们而言极为重要的是，孩子们能够在课程中进行大量互动，并且有时间在桌前参与小组讨论，交流想法。我们希望给予孩子们自由思考的空间，让他们不仅能够回答问题，还能学会提出问题和讨论想法。孩子们在交流和学习中全程使用英文，只在少数情况下使用中文，这样可以保证孩子们完全按照要求完成他们的目标。通过保持课程的吸引力、互动性和快节奏，我们发现孩子们进步飞快。在这堂课中，孩子的学习从学习声音的传播方式到创建信息视频，这一切都只发生在一堂课中，这是多么的神奇啊！
