近日,我校六年级科学课程将学习的触角延伸至中国火山之王--长白山,这座雄伟的山脉不仅以其壮观的火山地貌闻名遐迩,更是东北三江之源,其得天独厚的地理位置与丰富的自然资源,无疑为跨学科学习提供了绝佳的天然教材。



本项目将地球的板块运动,火山形成,生态环境以及人文地理等多领域知识融入其中。通过组内的多元化角色分工,引领同学们全方位、多角度地领略长白山的独特魅力。



模块1

火山之王的三维再现



在这一模块中,同学们分工合作,通过查阅地图、搜集资料,精心制作长白山的3D模型




在六年级科学课程的基础上,同学们已对板块边界、火山类型、板块运动机制、俯冲带、热点火山以及地球内部结构等概念有了初步了解。而火山活动所释放的地热资源,正是孕育出长白山壮丽瀑布与温泉的神奇力量。




模块2

火山喷发的模拟实验


核心问题

如何安全地模拟火山喷发的震撼场景?



在成功制作模型后,同学们又亲自上阵,进行了火山喷发实验。这一环节不仅直观地展示了火山喷发的壮观景象,更是对火山模型的一次实战检验。岩浆房与火山口的结构设计、材料选择等,都会直接影响喷发实验的效果,让同学们在实践中深化了对火山构造的理解。



模块3

跨学科的深度探索


01

地球科学视角:长白山火山探秘

以本学期地球科学课程的学习目标为起点,同学们深入探究了长白山火山的形成机制,展现了火山奇观与地热资源的独特魅力。这一过程不仅巩固了地球科学的知识点,更锻炼了同学们的合作探究能力。



02

生态学视角:长白山生物多样性研究

与岭南地区的亚热带湿润季风气候形成鲜明对比,长白山位于中国北方,同时也是中朝两国的界山。这里的气候条件差异显著,吸引了众多同学对东北地区动植物及生物多样性的浓厚兴趣。



03

环境科学视角:长白山人类活动影响分析

从环境与人文资源的独特视角出发,同学们探究了长白山地区的人文地理特色及旅游资源等,不仅展现了长白山的独特资源价值,更聚焦于人类活动对这一宝贵自然遗产的深远影响



模块4

学术演讲的实战演练


核心问题

如何打造一场精彩的学术演讲?



从资料的筛选、内容的编排到演讲的排练,每一步都凝聚着同学们的辛勤汗水与智慧结晶。通过演讲同学们不仅分享了各自的研究成果,更学会了如何有效地传达信息、增强表达的感染力,从而在提升自信心与公众演讲能力方面取得了显著进步。



Peer Review环节,同学们即是积极的评价者也是建设性的建议者,用担当的态度去识别并赞赏同伴的亮点,同时也不吝于提出旨在激发反思与自我超越的评价。


科考长白山秘境,开启户外新课堂


在即将到来的冬季假期,中学部的38位同学即将踏上一场别开生面的跨学科社会实践之旅——科考长白山



这不仅仅是一次亲近自然的探险之旅,更是一次深度融合科学知识与实践探索的跨学科实践。


同学们将在这片神奇的土地上,用双脚丈量自然的广阔,用双眼捕捉科学的光芒,用心感受知识的力量。

Recently, Grade 6 science curriculum has explored its focus on China’s King Volcanoes — Changbai Mountain. This majestic mountain, which is renowned for its breathtaking volcanic landscapes, is also the source of three major rivers in Northeast China. Its unique geographical location and abundant natural resources make it an ideal subject for interdisciplinary study.


This project integrates knowledge from diverse fields, including plate tectonics, volcanic formation, ecological environments, and human geography. Through collaborative group work and role-based responsibilities, students have explored the unique beauty of Changbai Mountain from different perspectives.


Module1

3D Reconstruction of 

the King of Volcanoes


Key Question

How were China’s King of Volcanoes and its waterfalls and hot springs formed?


In this part, students work in teams to create a 3D model of Changbai Mountain by studying simulation, maps and gathering information.


Building on their foundational knowledge and understanding of plate boundaries, types of volcanoes, tectonic movements, subduction zones, hot spot volcanoes, and Earth’s internal structure, students explored how volcanic activity generates geothermal resources, which in turn form the majestic waterfalls and hot springs of Changbai Mountain.



Module2

Simulating a Volcanic Eruption


Key Question

How can we safely simulate the dramatic effects of a volcanic eruption?


After students have completed their 3D models, they conducted a hands-on volcanic eruption experiment. This activity not only demonstrated the power of volcanic eruptions but also tests the functionality of their models. The magma chamber design, volcanic craters, and the choice of materials all shows the affect the experiment’s demonstration, this deepen their understanding of volcanic structures through practical application.


Module3

Interdisciplinary Exploration

01

Earth Science Perspective: 

Unveiling the Secrets of Changbai Mountain’s Volcano

With the Earth Science curriculum this semester, students delve into the mechanisms behind the formation of Changbai Mountain’s volcano. This exploration reinforces key concepts in Earth Science while fostering inquiry and collaborative skills.



02

Ecology Perspective: 

Investigating Changbai Mountain’s Biodiversity

In contrast to the subtropical monsoon climate of southern China, Changbai Mountain, situated in northern China and forming the border between China and North Korea, presents strikingly different climatic conditions. This has sparked students’ keen interest in the region’s unique flora, fauna, and biodiversity.



03

Environmental Science Perspective:

Assessing Human Impact on Changbai Mountain

From the perspective of environmental and human geography, students examine Changbai Mountain’s cultural significance and tourism resources. This exploration highlights the mountain’s unique natural value while focusing on the profound impact of human activities on this precious natural heritage.


Module4

Practicing Academic Presentations


Key Question

How can we deliver a compelling academic presentation?


Students refine their presentation skills through every step, from selecting information and organizing content to rehearsing their speeches. This process allows them to share their research findings effectively while improving their ability to communicate ideas clearly and persuasively. Students gain confidence and public speaking skills through this module.

In the Peer Review session, students are both active evaluators and constructive suggesters. They take on the responsibility to identify and appreciate their peers' strengths while also generously offering feedback aimed at stimulating reflection and self-improvement.

Field Expedition: Uncovering the Mysteries of Changbai Mountain

This winter break, 38 middle school students will embark on a unique interdisciplinary learning journey—a scientific expedition to Changbai Mountain.

More than an adventure in nature, this trip is an opportunity to merge scientific knowledge with hands-on exploration. 


On this remarkable land, students will step in the vastness of nature with their footsteps, capture the brilliance of science with their eyes, and feel the power of knowledge with their hearts.
