Embarking on a Journey Through Time- A Field Trip to the Science Museum of Guangzhou
踏上时光之旅- 广州科学博物馆户外探究学习

In a thrilling adventure of discovery, EY3 students recently embarked on a captivating field trip to the Science Museum of Guangzhou. This excursion aligned perfectly with their ongoing unit of inquiry, “Where We Are in Place and Time,” which aimed to explore how people can learn from the past to make better decisions in the future. The students were brimming with excitement as they set foot in the museum, eager to uncover the mysteries of history and science.
幼儿园中班的孩子们兴奋地前往了广州科学博物馆，开展了一场“惊心动魄”的户外探究之旅。这次探究活动与他们正在学习的“我们身处的时空”这一探究单元紧密相连——探索人们如何从过去的历史中汲取智慧，为未来做出更好的决策。在博物馆里，孩子们迫不及待地开始探索，通过观察和参与各种展览活动，逐步揭开历史和科学的奥秘。

“Age of Dinosaurs
走进恐龙时代，穿越时空之旅

As the young learners made their way through the museum, their eyes widened with wonder as they encountered the first exhibit: dinosaur fossils. Towering skeletons of long-extinct creatures loomed overhead, transporting the students back millions of years. With awe and amazement, they marveled at the scale and diversity of these ancient beings. The students were captivated by the enormous T-Rex, the graceful Stegosaurus, and the swift Velociraptor. This encounter with the prehistoric giants ignited their curiosity and provided a tangible connection to the distant past.
当穿过展馆，遇到第一个恐龙化石展品时，学生们的眼睛睁得大大的，望着早已灭绝且高大的骨骼化石在头顶上若隐若现，学生们仿佛回到了数百年前。他们惊叹于远古生物的规模和多样性。巨大的霸王龙化石、优雅的剑龙、凶猛的迅猛龙都深深地吸引着学生们。这次与史前巨兽的邂逅点燃了他们的好奇心，让他们与遥远的过去有了切实的联系。

“Exhibit on Cave Men
探索远古奥秘，感知人类智慧

Moving on from the age of dinosaurs, the students found themselves immersed in a world inhabited by early humans. The exhibit on cave men shed light on the lives and struggles of our ancient ancestors. The students were fascinated by the replicas of primitive tools, clothing, and dwelling structures. They realised that these early humans had to rely on their ingenuity and resourcefulness to survive in harsh environments. Observing the exhibits, the students began to grasp the concept of human progress and the idea that we have come a long way from our humble beginnings.
游览恐龙时代后，学生们又走进了早期人类居住的世界。在穴居人展馆中，展品呈现了我们远古祖先的生活和斗争。原始的工具、服装、居住结构都让学生着迷。他们意识到，原始人必须依靠自己的聪明才智才能在恶劣的环境中生存下来。通过观察展品，学生们逐渐理解了人类进步的概念，意识到我们人类已经从最初的起点，走过了漫长而曲折的进化之路。

Thinker
勤于思考

As the field trip progressed, the students began to comprehend the central idea of their unit of inquiry: that people can learn from the past to make better decisions in the future. They realised that by studying the remains of dinosaurs and the lives of cave men, they were gaining valuable insights into the world around them. They recognised the importance of preserving the environment, just as the dinosaurs’ extinction highlighted the fragility of ecosystems. They also began to understand the significance of technological advancements and the impact they have on human lives, drawing a parallel between the ingenuity of early humans and the innovative breakthroughs of the present day. They tried to imagine a world without electricity and their first thoughts were ‘how would they live without a tablet/ipad?’
随着户外探究的深入，学生们对探究单元的中心思想——“人们如何从过去的历史中汲取智慧，为未来做出更好的决策”有了更深刻的理解。他们意识到，通过观察恐龙遗骸和穴居人的生活，他们对周围的世界有了宝贵的认识。他们认识到保护环境的重要性，正如恐龙的灭绝揭示了生态系统的脆弱性。同时，他们开始将早期人类的聪明才智与当今的创新突破相提并论，并试图想象一个没有电的世界。他们首先想到的是：“如果没有平板电脑，他们将如何生活呢？”这样的思考让他们更加珍惜现代科技带来的便利，也让他们对人类的进步和未来充满了期待。

The field trip to the Science Museum of Guangzhou provided EY3 students with a unique opportunity to witness the wonders of both ancient history and scientific progress. By encountering dinosaur fossils and exploring the lives of cave men, the students were able to connect with the past and draw valuable lessons for the future. As they left the museum with a newfound appreciation for the journey humanity has undertaken, the students were inspired to make thoughtful decisions that would contribute to a better and more sustainable future.
本次科学馆的户外探究为幼儿园中班的学生提供了一次宝贵的机会，让他们直观地见证了古代历史和科学进步的奇迹。通过观察恐龙化石和探索洞穴人的生活，学生们能够与过去的历史紧密联系起来，并从中汲取宝贵的经验。离开博物馆时，学生们对人类走过的历程有了全新的认识。他们深受启发，相信未来能够做出更加深思熟虑的决定，为构建一个更美好、更可持续的世界贡献自己的力量。
