探索之旅
年度科学展回顾
A Journey Through Exploration: Reflections on
Our Annual Science Fair
· DREAM
—————
阳春三月的第一天，FDIS全体师生迎来了本学期第一个学科活动——科学展。科学组的年度展活动不仅展示了FDIS学生的聪明才智，更重要的是，他们将校园打造成了一个充满活力的科学实验室，这是同学们超越传统课堂环境的又一次科学实践探索。
On the first day of March, all FDIS students and teachers celebrated the first subject activity of the semester - the Science Fair. The Science Department's annual fair not only showcased the ingenuity of FDIS students, but more importantly, they transformed the campus into a vibrant science lab, another hands-on science exploration for students that went beyond the traditional classroom setting.
今年的科学展尝试了全新的形式——与传统的“站立-呈现”模式不同，本届展会采用了互动游戏的形式。学生和参观者在校园展开一场科学寻宝游戏，在每个展览现场参与不同的游戏和活动来收集徽章。
This year, however, there was a twist. Instead of the traditional stand-and-present model, the fair was designed around an interactive game format. Students and visitors embarked on a scientific scavenger hunt around the school, engaging in different games and activities at each exhibit to collect stamps.
探索发现的时刻
The Moment of Discovery
—————
每个展板周围都成为了一个个热闹的学习和互动中心。游戏形式多样，从解决复杂的谜题到展示物理原理，再到参与现场直播，各种引人入胜的形式将参观者转变为积极的参与者，增进了观众和所展示的科学概念之间的深层次的联系。
Each exhibit became a buzzing hub of learning and interaction. Games ranged from solving intricate puzzles that demonstrated the principles of physics to participating in life. This engaging format transformed the attendees into active participants, fostering a deeper connection with the scientific concepts on display.

第一部分：初中科学展
科学展的核心是同学们精心准备的展品。每块展板都是他们投入到各自项目中的钻研和热情的精彩回顾。每个板块都以“科学”为主题。其中一些描述了科学现象，一些展示了科学实验，还有一些提出了科学问题并探索问题的答案。内容令人印象深刻而生动，展示了学生们对科学的热情以及校园科学探究的浓厚氛围。
Part I：
Middle School Science Fair Project
The heart of the Science Fair lay in the exhibits meticulously prepared by our students. Each board was a look into the hours of dedication and passion invested into their projects. Each panel has a "science" theme, with some depicting scientific phenomena, others showcasing scientific experiments, and some presenting scientific questions and answers. The content is impressive and vibrant, reflecting the students' enthusiasm for science and the strong atmosphere of scientific inquiry on campus.
第二部分：高中11年级合作科学项目
合作科学项目（CSP）是一项针对DP学生的跨学科的项目，通过科学研究方法解决现实生活中的问题。它要求学生在设计项目的过程中综合运用各学科所学的知识，包括事实性、过程性和概念性知识。今年，参与CSP的11年级学生正在进行各种不同的项目，包括：
（1）开发性能卓越的环保肥皂
（2）在资源稀缺的情况下，什么样的受自然启发的建筑结构能够支撑最大的重量？
（3）利用植物材料制作环保漆
（4）水过滤方法的调查研究
Part II: G11 The Collaborative Sciences Project
(CSP)
(1) Developing Eco-Friendly Soap with Superior Perfor-mance
(2) With scarce resources, what architectural structur-e inspired by nature support the most weight?
(3) Environmental friendly paint using plant material-s
(4) Investigation: water filtration methods
科学精神的胜利
随着科学展接近尾声，不难发现，这样的活动不仅是各种科学现象的展示，更是师生们共同感受科学探索精神和科学发现所带来的喜悦。通过徽章的收集互动模式，科学展也使每个与会者都能快乐地参与其中。
A Triumph of the Scientific Spirit
As the Science Fair drew to a close, it was evident that the day had been more than a mere exhibition of scientific facts; it was a celebration of the unyielding spirit of inquiry and the joy of discovery. The interactive format of the fair, through the collection of stamps, did more than just make science into a game; it brought it to life, making it accessible and engaging for everyone involved.
科学展的成功不在于所展示的某个具体项目或奖项，而在于同学们与科学世界之间建立了有意义的联系。它告诉我们，科学并不遥远、不是锁在教科书或实验室的理论，它鲜活地存在于我们生活的方方面面。
In reflection, the success of our Science Fair lies not in the awards or the projects presented, but in the me-aningful connections forged between our students and the world of science. It told me that science is not a distant thing, locked away in textbooks and laboratori-es, but something living that touches every side of our lives.
展望今后的科学展，我们将继续致力于让科学变得有趣、互动和容易理解，点燃大家“活到老，学到老”的热情。即使科学展结束了，但它开启的发现之旅将继续在我们的校园里产生共鸣，激励着新一代的“思想家”和“探险家”继续前进。
As we look forward to future fairs, we carry with us the lessons of this year's success—the understanding that making science fun, interactive, and accessible can ignite a lifelong passion for learning in everyone. The science fair may have ended, but the journey of discovery it sparked continues to resonate within the halls of our school, inspiring a new generation of thinkers and explorers to move forward.
