The science fair is a time for students to bring all the skills they have learned in the class room and share what they have learned with other students and teachers. The science fair is a great activity for our students to become science communicators: finding a question they are interested in, applying the scientific method, and then describing and explaining their project to a rapt audience.

科学展是全英部的一个经典学术活动。学生将他们在课堂上学到的知识与技能，基于孩子自己感兴趣的问题出发，应用科学方法，做出假设，得出结果，然后充分发挥主观能动，积极分享，共同成长。

Our students were told about this task at the beginning of the semester, and one of the biggest set-backs to overcome was the online learning at the beginning of the year. Our wonderful science teachers used this time to introduce the scientific method to the students. They could then make the connection between the scientific method and the science labs they have completed in school. The science curriculum we use in school is very strong, and throughout the years of science class our students have taken, this link to the scientific method was easily accomplished. Our science teachers then guided the students to ask questions about class material they are interested in. Students then carried out their own investigations, encountering and solving problems as they went.

我们的学生在学期开始时就被告知了这项任务，而要克服的最大挫折之一就是年初的在线学习。我们优秀的科学老师利用这段时间向学生们介绍了科学方法；然后，他们可以将科学方法与他们在学校完成的科学实验联系起来。我们在学校施行的科学课程体系充实且完善，学生们有足够的自主空间与体系支撑来完成一个又一个新奇的奇思妙想。

Our International Baccalaureate Unit of Inquiry is How the World Works and so our students went out and explored problems in the real world and used higher level and scientific thinking to find out how the real world functions. Students had to utilise self-management skills and research skills to find answers to their questions. They had to design hypotheses, understand variables and ask questions of each other to achieve this. Our school’s IB framework and guidance from our wonderful directors helped make the science fair a real IB success.

我们本次IB探究主题单元是“世界是如何运作的？”，因此我们的学生走出去探索现实世界中的问题，并使用更高层次的科学思维来了解现实世界的运作方式。学生必须利用自我管理技能和研究技能来找到问题的答案。他们设计问题假设、理解变量并互相提问以实现这一目标。我们学校的 IB 框架和我们出色的科学课程主任的指导使本次科学展取得了真正IB意义上的成功。
