At LEH Foshan, science is one of the core subjects of our British curriculum. Through a high-quality science education, we provide our students with the foundations for understanding the world through the three specific disciplines of biology, chemistry and physics, nurture budding scientists and equip them with the scientific knowledge and critical thinking skills required to understand the uses and implications of science, today and for the future.

在佛山霍利斯，科学是我们英式课程的核心科目之一，包含了生物、化学和物理三个分支学科。我们为学生提供高质量的科学教育，教授科学知识和培养学生的批判性思考能力，帮助他们从科学的视角认识和理解这个世界，培育未来拔尖科学家们。

Science is a practical subject and so we base much of our learning around ‘hands-on’ activities, where students can observe the phenomena that they are being taught about. From Year 6 investigating how to separate materials, through to Sixth Form students preparing aspirin, measuring the wavelength of light from a laser or investigating the effect of antibiotics on bacteria, the theory is inextricably bound to practical work.

科学是一门实践性很强的学科，所以我们大部分的学习内容是基于一系列的实践活动，让学生们也能亲身观察到书中说描述的科学现象，从低年级学生研究如何分离材料，到高年级学生制备阿司匹林，测量激光波长或研究抗生素对细菌的影响，科学理论和实践活动之间互相联系，密不可分。

Our British Curriculum

我们的英式课程

Our science curriculum is based on the well-established and recognised English National Curriculum, and it aims to develop a sense of curiosity and wonder in our students, along with a respect for logical thinking and the scientific process. This involves going beyond the specification when necessary, to give more breadth and depth to our students’ understanding.

我们的科学课程建基于成熟完备且广受公众认可的英国国家课程，课程目标是培养学生们对科学的好奇心，科学逻辑思维和对严谨科学研究过程的重视。在必要时，我们的课程内容也会引入课程大纲以外的知识内容，让学生们能够对所学知识有更全面和更深入的理解。

Year 4 - 6, Prep School

4 - 6 年级，预备学校

Currently, the Year 6 students are following a scheme of work from the Hamilton Trust, based in the United Kingdom. This covers all of the required content of the KS2 curriculum, in a project-based format. Titles of some of the topics include ‘Electric Art’, ‘Medical Manoeuvres’ and ‘The Science of Sport’, and each of the topics includes practical and written exercises to develop and nurture a love of science from an early age.

目前，六年级的课程以英国Hamilton Trust的科学课程为参考，并涵盖关键阶段二的教学内容。课程以项目形式进行，包括电子艺术、医疗演习、运动科学等。每个课题都包括实践和书面练习，从小培养孩子们对科学的热爱。

Year 7 - 8, Key Stage 3

7 - 8 年级，关键阶段三

Students cover all three science subjects - Biology, Chemistry and Physics - over the two years. Whether learning about the microscopic particles that make up atoms; considering how organisms are built up from cells or studying how forces affect our daily lives, students will be encouraged to ask questions, delve deeper into the topics that really interest them and develop an appreciation of the scientific method. Critical thinking will be key when looking at collected data and the conclusions drawn from it. Safe working practices will be identified and utilised and students will be encouraged to apply their knowledge to real-world situations; not all of them will become brain surgeons or astrophysicists but all will have to have an informed opinion on global warming, genetic modification or the development of alternative fuel sources.

在这阶段，学生们继续学习生物、化学和物理的学科知识，例如构成原子的微观粒子、由细胞构成的生物体和日常生活中的力学问题。我们鼓励学生们提出自己感兴趣的课题，并展开深入探讨和研究，从中学习严谨的科学研究方法。审视收集回来的数据和分析过程也能够培养学生们的批判性思维。我们鼓励学生们将所学的科学知识应用到现实世界的日常生活中，虽然不是每个人都会成为脑外科医生或天体物理学家这类专业人士，但都应该对全球变暖、转基因食品、可替代能源的来源等公共议题有明智的看法。

Year 9 - 11, Key Stage 4, IGCSE

9 - 11年级，关键阶段四，IGCSE

Science at LEH Foshan is a compulsory subject at Key Stage 4 and follows the Edexcel IGCSE programme. In this stage, three science subjects are taught as independent subjects.

在关键阶段四，科学仍然是必修科目之一，内容参考英国培生爱德思的IGCSE科学教材。在这个阶段，生物、化学和物理三门学科分开独立教学。

Biology 生物

Biology offers an opportunity to learn about life processes in greater depth and reflects on the ever-changing face of Biology in the world today. Biotechnology, genetic engineering and areas such as stem cell research are included in this exciting and dynamic course.

生物课内容是关于深入了解生命的过程，并从中体现了生物学在当今世界不断发展的趋势。这门令人兴奋和充满活力的课程包含生物技术、基因工程和干细胞研究等内容。

Chemistry 化学

Chemistry looks at explaining trends and patterns in the behaviour of the elements of the Periodic Table and the vast array of materials that are formed from them, when elements combine with each other.

化学课内容将会围绕元素周期表内各元素的特性展开，带领学生探索不同元素之间互动结合形成的不同化合物。

Physics 物理

Physics is the study of the forces that shape our lives, from those that hold sub-atomic particles together in the nuclei of atoms to those that hold our place in the Universe; the energy transfers that drive everything around us; the majestic wonder of the stars in the firmament and the consequences of the fusion and fission of atomic nuclei.

物理课上，我们研究那些塑造我们生活的“力”，从原子核中的亚原子粒子结合在一起的力，到宇宙中不同天体之间的力，探索那些驱动着我们周围一切事物的能量转换，苍穹中恒星的壮丽景观，以及原子核聚变和裂变的后果。

Year 12 - 13, A Level

12 - 13年级，A Level

In this stage, Biology, Chemistry and Physics remain as three independent subjects but become optional for students.

在这个阶段，生物、化学和物理是三门独立的选修学科。

Biology 生物

The content is organised into six key concepts: cells as the units of life; biochemical processes; DNA, the molecule of heredity; natural selection; organisms in their environment and observation and experiment. Observation, enquiry, experimentation and fieldwork are fundamental to biology, allowing relevant evidence to be collected and considered as a basis on which to build new models and theories.

生物课程内容包括六个关键的概念：作为生命单位的细胞、生物化学过程、遗传分子DNA、自然选择、环境中的生物体，以及观察和实验。学生们也会学习和锻炼观察、询问、实验和实地考察等生物学的基础技能，学习收集证据，用作建立新模型和理论的基础。

Chemistry 化学

The content covers the major topics in chemistry including molar calculations, structure and bonding, energetics, equilibria, Group chemistry, transition metals and a range of organic chemistry. Some of the content is new to students, other topics take a more in-depth and extended look at what has been previously encountered.

化学课程内容涵盖摩尔计算、结构和键合、能量学、平衡、组化学、过渡金属和一系列有机化学等化学领域的重要课题。部分内容是新知识，其他内容则是对之前学的化学知识的深入和拓展研究。

Physics 物理

The content covers the major topics in physics. Some of the content is new to students e.g. aspects of cosmology and the finer structure of the familiar sub-atomic particles, while other topics take a more in-depth and extended look at what has been previously encountered.

物理课程内容涵盖了物理学领域的主要课题。有些内容是新知识，例如宇宙学和亚原子粒子的结构，其他内容则是对之前学的物理知识的深入和拓展研究。

Master the Science Language

熟练掌握科学语言

Science has a language all of its own. There are many subject-specific words or terms that are not generally used in everyday speech (ionic bond, photosynthesis and gravitational potential energy for example) and others that may have a slightly different meaning, depending on the context (if ‘money disappears into a black hole’ for example, it’s usually not flying off into space!). Definitions of key terms, repetition of the use of vocabulary,(online) flashcards and glossaries, explanations of command words are all ways in which students can acquire and master the subject-specific vocabulary needed in science.

科学学科有自己的一套语言，但其中许多的特定词汇和术语在日常交谈中并不常见，例如离子键、光合作用和重力势能，还有一些词汇在不同语境中可能会有不同的含义，例如人们常说“钱掉进了黑洞了”，这里的“黑洞”当然并不是指外太空的“黑洞”，只是一种修辞手法。学生们需要熟悉科学术语的定义，重复练习和使用这些词汇，可以借助记忆闪卡和词汇表等工具辅助记忆。这些都是学习和掌握科学词汇的重要方法。

Experienced Science Teachers

经验丰富的科学老师

Our current science staff have a wealth of experience behind them in a variety of countries, across a range of courses. One thing that they both have in common is an enthusiasm for our subjects and our students, both of which continue to offer new learning opportunities for them every year.

我们的科学老师们曾经在不同国家和不同课程体系任教，都有着非常丰富的教学经验。他们有着一个共同点，就是对科学学科和学生教学充满热情。从每年的科学教学工作中，他们都能“学习”到许多新东西。

Knowing that you have experience teaching all three Science subjects (Biology, Chemistry and Physics), how are these three subjects connected and what is essential to achieve success in all 3 subjects?

我们知道您在生物、化学和物理三门科目都有丰富的教学经验，那么这三门学科是如何联系起来的，以及学生们怎样能在这三门科目的学习中取得成功？

It helps if you can see the links between the different subjects, to obtain a broader understanding of how the three disciplines form a complete whole. For example, Physics and Chemistry share links with respect to the behaviour and structure of materials; Biology and Chemistry in the bonds that go into making up molecules and the biochemical reactions that keep living organisms alive. Being able to refer back to previous knowledge in a different context helps students gain a better understanding of the science involved.

如果学生们能够看到这三门科学学科之间的联系，以及这三门学科如何构成一个完整的科学整体，这将会对他们的科学学习大有裨益。例如，物理和化学在材料的行为和结构方面互相联系，生物和化学在构成分子的键和保持生物体活力的生化反应方面互相联系。学生们可以从不同学科的角度回顾之前所学的科学知识，有助于他们更好地理解其中的科学奥秘。

What can parents do to help their child with science learning?

家长们可以怎样帮助学生们学习科学呢？

Encourage your child to ask questions about the world around them – why is the sky blue, why do boats float, why don’t plastics decompose, what is global warming, why do antibiotics not work on viruses? After this, encourage them to find out the answers, or, better still, find out the answers together. Watch science programmes on the television or online. Ask them about what they have learned in Science class this week.

鼓励孩子思考身边的世界和问问题，例如为什么天空是蓝色的，为什么船会浮起来，为什么塑料不会腐烂，什么是全球变暖，为什么有时候抗体对病毒不起作用，然后鼓励他们去找答案，家长们也可以参与这个过程，与孩子们一起探究这些问题。此外，多看一些科学科普视频，可以是电视节目，也可以是网络视频。家长们也可以问一下孩子们这周的科学课学了什么知识内容。

Electron Microscope

电子显微镜

STEM Co-ordinator Mr Brittain from LEH UK arranged with our staff to introduce the LEH Electron Microscope to LEH Foshan students in November 2021. Students were able to find out how to use the electron microscope and were able to suggest topics for study. The fine detail of a moth’s eyeball and the structure of a butterfly’s wings were just two of the objects explored during the after-school sessions.

2021年11月，英国伦敦LEH学校的STEM协调员Mr Brittain与我校科学科组老师们一起，让佛山霍利斯的学生们体验了用电脑远程操作电子显微镜。学生们不仅学习了如何使用电子显微镜，还对飞蛾眼球和蝴蝶翅膀的结构细节进行观察研究。

James Webb Space Telescope Project

James Webb太空望远镜项目

LEH UK invited us to join their Science Fair online on the 21st February and our Year 6 students chose the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) as their project. Under the benevolent eyes of Mr Cairnie and Mr Farnsworth, the students have researched the history of using telescopes in space exploration, looked at the technology that is being used in the JWST and are making a scale model of it. In the end, we sent a video recording of our presentation across to LEH UK and we also enjoyed the virtual tour of the presentations in London that was provided for us by one of LEH (UK)’s students.

英国LEH学校在2 月 21 日举办科学节，STEM 课程协调员 Mr Brittain 邀请我们的学生通过线上形式参与这一活动。我们六年级学生的任务是为博览会设计一个项目，他们选择了詹姆斯·韦伯太空望远镜（JWST）。在 Mr Cairnie 和 Mr Farnsworth 的耐心指导和帮助下，六年级学生研究了太空探索中使用望远镜的历史，了解了JWST中使用的技术，并制作它的比例模型。最终我们录制了学生们的项目演讲视频，并发送给英国LEH学校。英国LEH学校的学生们也带着我们一起线上视频参观了他们的科学节活动。

We look forward to introducing more collaboration projects with LEH UK in the future, online or physical, and encouraging more interactions between the two schools so that students can learn from each other.
