当数学与科学走出课堂：学科实践赋能创新思维 SUIS Field Trips | Beyond the Classroom

2025年11月11日，我校G9生物组学生在Ms. Mandy与Mr. James Armitage老师带队下，赴上海市浦东新区水文水资源管理事务中心开展水生态主题参访实践。作为浦东新区公益一类事业单位，该中心核心承担水文水质检测预警、生态环境研究等工作，为本次实地研学提供了专业实践平台。

参访中，学生深入水质检测实验室，分组走进重金属、有机物检测专属区域，在工程师指导下学习实验原理，直观了解数字赋能下水温检测设备升级、采样工具优化带来的科研便利，将课堂理论与专业实验操作深度衔接；户外环节中，学生沉浸式体验水位测量实操，还原户外水质工作者日常工作场景，搭配生活化水生态知识讲座，不仅清晰掌握水质监测全流程，更将课本生物知识与实际应用融会贯通，进一步夯实知识框架。

此次研学让学生跳出课堂，以工程师视角感知生态学知识的实践价值，既提升节约水资源、保护水生态的意识与能力，更深化生态保护责任感，为后续生物学科学习注入实践动力。

2025年11月17日上午，我校A2年级全体数学组学生及部分A1数学组学生前往上海兆丰广场，开展了以“探索贝叶斯——数学在人工智能中的应用”为主题的户外教学活动。

活动期间，多位学生与人工智能领域专家展开深入研讨，重点围绕统计方法在数据识别、分类及概率推理中的核心作用展开交流。专家通过案例分析，生动展示了数学理论如何支撑人工智能的决策逻辑，学生们积极参与互动，从生活场景到技术应用，探讨了数学的实际价值。

此次户外教学不仅拓宽了学生对数学抽象概念的理解，更让他们体会到学科交叉的创新意义——数学方法不仅是公式，更是解决复杂问题的思维工具。反馈显示，学生普遍认为这种“理论+实践”的学习方式更具启发性，未来将进一步主动探索数学与前沿技术的关联。数学组将持续开展此类活动，深化对数学之美的教育实践。 

On November 11th, G9 Biology students from our school, led by Ms. Mandy and Mr. James Armitage, visited the Hydrographic and Water Resources Management Affairs Center of Pudong Shanghai for a water ecology-themed field trip. As a first-class public welfare institution in Pudong New Area, the center mainly undertakes hydrological and water quality monitoring as well as ecological environment research, providing a professional practical platform for this field study.

During the visit, students entered water quality testing laboratories, grouped into dedicated areas for heavy metal and organic matter detection. Guided by engineers, they learned experimental principles, gained insight into this critical research aided by cutting-edge water testing equipment and optimized sampling tools, and deeply connected classroom theories with professional experimental operations. In the outdoor session, students had immersive hands-on experience in water level measurement, simulating the daily work of outdoor water quality workers. Combined with a life-oriented water ecology lecture, they not only mastered the whole process of water quality monitoring clearly but also integrated textbook biology knowledge with practical application, further consolidating their knowledge framework.

This field study allowed students to step out of the classroom and perceive the practical value of ecological knowledge from an engineer’s perspective. It not only enhanced their awareness and ability to save water resources and protect water ecology but also deepened their sense of responsibility for ecological protection, injecting practical motivation into their subsequent Biology learning.

On November 17, 2025, A2 Mathematics students along with some A1 students visited Shanghai Zhao Feng Plaza for a field-based session titled “Bayes in Action – From Theory to AI Decisions.”

Throughout the activity, students discussed with AI specialists how statistical methods drive data recognition, classification, and reasoning. Through real-world case studies, experts illustrated how mathematical principles form the foundation of AI decision-making. Students actively engaged, connecting mathematical concepts to everyday situations, and advanced technical applications.

The session not only deepened students’ grasp of abstract mathematical ideas but also highlighted the power of interdisciplinary thinking—showing that math is more than formulas; it's a toolkit for solving real-world challenges. Student feedback confirmed the value of combining theory and practice, with many feeling motivated to further explore the links between mathematics and emerging technologies. The Mathematics Department looks forward to continuing these hands-on learning experiences, helping students see the relevance and beauty of mathematics in action.
