小朋友是天生的科学家。他们透过问问题来探索和了解周围的世界。这个月，我们的小学生（PYP）有机会在Lesli老师的实验室里体验有趣又好玩的活动，当个小小科学家。

Children are natural scientists. They love to explore and understand the world around them by asking a lot of questions. This month, our PYP students have the opportunity to unleash their inner scientist with fun and exciting hands-on activities at Ms. Lesli’s lab. 

从学生们踏进实验室的那一刻起，他们就非常兴奋地期待着接下来会有哪些新发现。对于学生来说，科学实验室就像一个神奇的地方。尤其当Lesli老师做实验示范的时候， 大家都惊讶地问：“老师是怎么做到的？”。戴上护目镜后，同学们就像个真正的科学家一样，在老师的监督下进行充满惊喜，让大家赞叹不已的实验。

From the moment students entered the lab, they were excited about what they were going to discover. The science lab was like a magical place for students. Especially when Ms. Lesli was demonstrating the experiments, everyone was amazed and asked, “How did Ms. Lesli do it?”. With their safety goggles on, students looked like real scientists to conduct awe-inspiring experiments under the supervision of teachers.

从小接受科学教育，对于培养学生成为批判性思考者和充满好奇心的终身学习者是至关重要的。以下是Lesli老师的分享，为大家解释“科学探索课”的意义，以及这个教学经验的宝贵之处。

Science education from a young age is essential for developing students into critical thinkers and lifelong curious learners. Below, Ms. Lesli explains what science exploration is about, and why this experience is valuable to students and herself.
