Now Shenzhen | June 21, 2022
Earlier this week, Shenzhen American International School hold our annual Exhibition of Learning. The Exhibition is an opportunity for our students to show to the whole school, and in pre-Covid times to parents and visitors, by presenting their learning through their projects. As visitors ask questions and the student answers, the Exhibition helps develop their interpretation and communication skills and builds confidence in what they have and can achieve.
本周早些时候，深圳市深美外籍人员子女学校举办了一年一度的学习展。这次展览为我们的学生提供了一个向全校展示的机会，在疫情之前还可以向家长和参观者们展示他们通过项目学到的知识。通过参观者的提问和学生的回答，展览可以培养学生们的解释和沟通技能，并建立了他们对自己所拥有的和能够努力达到的自信心。
G4: SAIS Science Museum
四年级：深美科学馆
Fourth grade scholars invited fellow students to their Energy Transfer Science Museum. The students created 7 different exhibits that showed how energy is transferred from one type to another. Students researched scientists that had curiosity and perseverance, and they used these scientists to help inspire their exhibits. Fourth graders exhibited a bicycle generator to show how mechanical energy transfers to electrical energy. While someone pedaled the bicycle, another student held wires from the generator to a fan or light. When the generator stopped working, the students troubleshot and temporarily fixed the problem. This problem solving is exactly what real scientists do. Our students are real scientists. There were balloon rockets that showed the connection between energy and speed. The other exhibits included kinetic and potential energy bow and arrows, food web energy, a marshmallow wave machine, snap circuits, and the edible energy transfer of popcorn was definitely a highlight. The students showed how a popcorn maker transfers electrical energy to thermal, sound, and mechanical energy. Then the fun part- it becomes chemical energy in our bodies.
四年级的学者们邀请同学们参观他们的能量转化科学馆。学生们创造了7个不同的展品，展示了能量是如何从一种类型转化到另一种类型的。学生们研究了有好奇心和毅力的科学家，这些科学家启发了他们的展览。四年级学生展示了一台自行车发电机，展示机械能如何转化为电能。有人踩着自行车，另一名学生拿着发电机和风扇或电灯之间的电线。当发电机停止工作时，学生们排除了故障，暂时解决了问题。解决这个问题正是真正的科学家所做的。 我们的学生是真正的科学家。气球火箭展示了能量和速度之间的联系。其他展品包括动能和势能弓和箭、食物网能量、棉花糖波动机、快闪电路，而爆米花的可食用能量转移无疑是一个亮点。学生们展示了爆米花机如何将电能转化为热能、声能和机械能。然后有趣的部分——它就变成了我们体内的化学能。
