以及跨学科的知识及运用能力
创校仅2年的哈罗珠海何以取得如此成绩？
在哈罗珠海的科学教育又有何奥秘？
今天我们就带大家走进哈罗科学课
为您解读科学思维应该如何从小培育
何为科学思维
Mr.JordanCochrane
科学组组长
“一般来说，科学的定义由三个领域组成：它本身是一套知识体系，但同时也是发展这种知识的广泛的方法或过程，但更为重要的，它是一种思维方式。科学思维意味着好奇心，批判性思维，以及对探索和试验的热忱与兴趣。我们鼓励孩子们提出问题、观察世界、形成假设、并通过系统化的调查方式来验证他们自己的想法。”
创新的课程路径
在哈罗珠海，我们认识到全球视野在科学教育中的重要性。我们的学生从双语学习环境中受益，他们得以为科学学科培养了双语思维。通过创新融合中国国家课程和国际课程，我们让学生从不同角度与不同学科全面了解科学原理和实践。
哈罗珠海从小学一年级就开设科学课程。在低年级阶段，专业的外籍主班教师将带领学生进行基于混合学科的基础性科学探究。孩子们通过大量分组活动与动手实践，借助优质教具和数字化资源，建立起最基础的科学认知。在这个过程中，孩子们不仅可以了解基础的物理、生物、工程、地理等知识，更重要的是可以亲历实证的过程，并建立起基础的科学思维，为他们高年级更加专业的科学学习打好基础。
进入高年级之后，哈罗的孩子们将开始更加专业的科学学科学习，这涵盖物理、化学、生物三大主流科目。哈罗珠海的礼德课程创新地将IGCSE课程与中国国家课程的内容进行融合，于是哈罗的学子们能够在中国国家课程大纲的框架内，通过中英双语学习到与世界接轨的科学内容。
与普通学校不同，哈罗珠海高年级的科学课程全部在实验教室中进行。学校拥有世界一流的科学实验教室、技术资源和实验材料。学生能够在专业教师的指导下，更多的通过探究性实验了解学科内容，并能够在学习中进行跨学科的尝试，扩展科学知识，提高技能和创新力。
跨学科,
项目制的创新STEAM教育
STEAM（科学、技术、工程、艺术和数学）是近年来新兴的混合学科学习方式，走在教育前沿的哈罗珠海必然不会错过。在哈罗，我们的教学团队重视STEAM的应用，并通过各种各样的项目式教学项目（PBL）在学校里鼓励STEAM教学的开展，启迪学生的科学思维。
跨学科的融合式学习是STEAM教育的巧妙之处，而哈罗珠海的科学学习涉及到的学科更加广泛。在学校一年一度的科创周（STEAM WEEK）上，所有学科的老师都会根据科创主题开展教学任务，数学课上孩子们会通过几何与方程解答工程问题，而英语课上孩子们则会参与到科学主题的辩论赛中来。而这样的学习方式，也遍布挑战周（Challenge Week）、海洋日（OceanDay）、地球日（EarthDay）等多种不同主题的学习活动，把科学的思维和概念融入到学校生活的日常。

In the 2023 National Science League (NSL),
AISL Harrow Zhuhai students won a total of
1 gold, 4 silver and 6 bronze medals,
as well as 10 honorable mentions.
One of the world"s most
prestigious science competitions
for primary and secondary schools,
National Science League (NSL) began in 1980 and
is dedicated to inspiring children
with scientific thinking
and interdisciplinary knowledge
and application skills.
How did Harrow Zhuhai
achieve such success after
only 2 years of existence?
What are the mysteries of science education at Harrow Zhuhai?
Today we"ll take you
inside Harrow"s science
classes andexplain how
scientific thinking should
be nurtured from an early age.
What is scientific thinking?
Mr.JordanCochrane
Head of Science
In general, Science consists of three domains: it is a body of knowledge, but also a wide range of methods or processes to develop this knowledge; but more importantly, it is a way of thinking. A scientific mind refers to a mindset characterized by curiosity, critical thinking, and a love for exploration and experimentation.We encourage our children to ask questions, observe the world, form hypotheses, and test them through systematic investigation.
An Innovative Curriculum
In Harrow Zhuhai, we recognise the importance of a global perspective in science education. Our students benefit from a bilingual learning environment where they are able to develop a bilingual mindset for science subjects. Through an innovative blend of the Chinese National Curriculum and the International Curriculum, we provide students with a comprehensive understanding of scientific principles and practices from different perspectives.
Science is taught in Harrow Zhuhaifrom Grade 1. In LowerSchool setting, professionalhomeroom teachers lead students through fundamental scientific investigations based on a mixture of subjects. The children build up their most basic scientific knowledge through extensive group activities and hands-on practice, with the help of quality teaching aids and digital resources.In the process, children will not only learn about basic physics, biology, engineering and geography, but more importantly, they will experience the process of empirical evidence and build a basic scientific mindset that will prepare them for more specialised science studies in Upper School.
As they move into UpperSchool, Harrow students will begin to study more specialised science subjects, which cover the three main subjects of Physics, Chemistry and Biology.Harrow Zhuhai"s InnovationLeadershipprogram is an innovative blend of Chinese National Curriculum(CNC) and Cambridge IGCSE, so Harrow students are able to learn world-across science in both English and Chinese, within the framework of the CNC.
Unlike in conventional schools, all science classes in Harrow Zhuhai UpperSchoolare conducted in laboratory classrooms. The school has world-class science laboratories, technical resources and laboratory materials.Students are able to learn more about subject through inquiry-based experiments under the guidance of specialist teachers and are able to experiment across disciplines in their learning, extending their scientific knowledge and improving their skills and innovation.
Interdisciplinary,
Project Based STEAM Education
STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) is an emerging blended discipline approach to learning in recent years and Harrow Zhuhai, at the forefront of education, is bound notto miss it. At Harrow, our teaching team values the use of STEAM and encourages STEAM teaching in schools through a variety of Project Based Learning (PBL) projects that enlighten students" scientific thinking.
Interdisciplinary and integrated learning is one of the clever things about STEAM education, and science learning at Harrow Zhuhai involves an even wider range of subjects. During our school"s annual STEAM WEEK, teachers from all subjects work on tasks based on science and innovation themes,with children in Maths solving engineering problems through geometry and equations, and children in English participating in science-themed debates, etc. This approach to learning is also spread across a variety of different themed learning activities such as Challenge Week, Ocean Day and Earth Day, incorporating scientific thinking and concepts into the everyday life of the school.

During the school year, Harrow Zhuhai also organises a number of outings for students to explore and learn.Harrow Zhuhai"s extremely favourable location gives the school access to many convenient learning resources, whether it is a trip to the Chimelong Ocean Kingdom to learn about the diversity of marine life or a trip to the National Geographic to learn about the mysteries of the primeval forest, Harrovians came away with a great deal to learn. The school also organises trips to the International Aviation & Aerospace Exhibition and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge to learn about aerospace and construction-related science. These unique educational resources in Zhuhai are fully utilised by the Harrow education team and integrated into the children"s overall learning.
Work Together
and Face Challenges
In addition to enrichment and learning projects, learning science at Harrow Zhuhai means getting your hands and brains “dirty”and rising to the challenge.Each year, Harrow students participate in a variety of science competitions and activities both in and out of school. Most of these in-school competitions and activities are hands-on projects that allow children to produce a variety of different works and engineering samples. We always provide a stage for children to showcase them.
In Harrow Zhuhai, science projects give students the opportunity to ask questions, investigate problems and design experiments to find answers. This approach allows for exploration and discovery and helps to develop students" curiosity and creativity. Collaboration is an important aspect of scientific work, so Harrow School strongly encourages group work, partnerships and teamworkto help students develop skills in communication, problem solving and critical thinking.
We also encourage students to participate in various international science competitions and provide them with the necessary guidance and support to help them excel in science.Notably, Ray W., Grade 8, crossed over and entered with Grade 9 students in the 2023 National Science League (NSL) and still won the award. Angel L. in Grade 9 showed great courage by competing in the G12 category and we are looking forward to seeing how she will perform in the future.
