“我真的有被中医的神奇震惊到”｜PYP融合部五年级探究实践

上周，王府学校小学融合部五年级的学生完成了UOI探究单元“我们是谁”的相关学习，同学们前往御生堂中医药博物馆，开展了一次充实的研学实践活动。

探究单元“我们是谁”重点关注健康与福祉，探究者们探寻了传统中医的历史根源，深入了解了古代流传至今的诊疗手段，是如何影响现代人对健康的认识。

作为法政集团旗下的中医药博物馆，“御生堂中医药博物馆”馆藏丰富，为同学们的探究研学活动，提供了极大便利。他们在博物馆内究竟有哪些收获？一起来看看参观时的视频片吧。

参观以中医鼻祖神农氏尝百草的传奇故事开始，到亲眼看到古代的冰箱的实物，对比古代、现代冰箱之异同，学会用“变化”的眼光去观察、理解事物。

通过对“针灸铜人”的学习了解，同学们对于针灸这一传统医疗手段产生浓厚兴趣。大家发现，古代中医认为人体与自然密切相连，实现身体与环境的和谐是保持健康的关键。这一理念与五年级正在探索的心理和社交情感健康相契合，强调健康是多种因素平衡的结果。

参观的最后，北京王府中西医结合医院的中医医生为同学们讲解了一些常见中草药的特性，并带领学生们亲手制作了中草药填充的香囊。这一体验活动帮助他们更好地理解了身体、健康与自然之间的联系，加深了他们对古代医药成就的理解。

回到学校之后，学生们分小组完成了本单元的总结性评估。四年级的同学模拟了6种常见儿童疾病的症状，五年级的同学根据自己课堂所学进行了诊断，并查找资料进一步研究这6种疾病的症状、受到影响的身体系统，以及治疗和预防方法，完成了“诊断书”。大家还邀请了王府学校校医室的医生进班听取报告，并对每个报告进行点评。

在整个过程中，真实的互动和模拟的情景激发出同学们极高的积极性，每个小组用中、英文双语顺利完成了报告并获得了医生们的一致好评。

法政集团旗下中医博物馆、中西医结合医院和校医室，以及其他年级的学习社区资源，让本单元的学习、探究、实践都基于真实情境而逐步开展，同学们收获的不仅是生动的知识，还有带着问题去探索时收获的答案，伴随着探究路径的徐徐展开，各版块的知识在孩子们的头脑中自动勾连。

一个单元的学习暂告结束，但“小探究者”们探寻更多未知的内驱力已被点燃，他们的旅途，不仅有从古至今优秀文化的传承与探索，还有广阔无垠的未来。

Last week, Grade 5 students from Beijing Royal Experimental School embarked on an enriching educational excursion to the Museum of Chinese Medicine. The visit was part of their ongoing Unit of Inquiry (UOI) titled Who We Are, which focuses on well-being and health. Students explored the historical roots of traditional Chinese medicine, gaining insights into how ancient healing practices continue to influence modern approaches to health and well-being.

The trip began with a captivating introduction to the legend of Shennong, the first Chinese healer, who is said to have tested the medicinal properties of plants and animals. This story set the stage for students to appreciate how ancient knowledge about nature’s remedies played a vital role in early health practices.

Following the legend, students learned about the various methods of storing medicine in ancient times. They were shown beautifully crafted containers used to preserve herbs and medicines, keeping their healing properties intact. This part of the visit connected directly to the students’ inquiry into how health choices affect well-being.

One of the highlights of the excursion was a detailed exploration of ginseng, a plant long regarded for its powerful medical qualities. Students learned how ginseng has been used for centuries to boost energy and support overall health, tying in with their classroom discussions about physical well-being and energy.

The philosophical core of Chinese medicine was another focal point of the visit. Students discovered how the ancient practice views the human body as deeply connected to nature, and that achieving harmony between body and environment is essential for maintaining health. This philosophy aligns with the Grade 5 exploration of mental and social-emotional well-being, reinforcing the idea that health is a balance of many factors.

The students were particularly intrigued by acupuncture, one of the more widely recognized aspects of Chinese medicine. Although no treatments were administered, students were introduced to the concept of acupuncture and how it works to stimulate the body’s healing processes.

To wrap up the visit, students had the unique opportunity to create their own medical bags filled with traditional Chinese herbs. This hands-on activity allowed them to apply what they had learned about ancient medicine, giving them a deeper understanding of how the body, health, and nature are interconnected.

The visit to the Museum of Chinese Medicine was not only informative but also reinforced the students’ understanding of well-being, a central theme of their UOI Who We Are. As they continue to explore different factors that contribute to well-being, this experience will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression, encouraging them to think critically about their health and lifestyle choices.
