清华附中国际部数学科学周|THIS Math and Science Week

科学是包罗万象的事业，它需要有各方面的才能。Science is an all-embracing cause requiring all kinds of abilities.

—— 杨振宁

‍在数学的领域中,提出问题的艺术比解答问题的艺术更为重要。

3月11日到3月14日是清华附中国际部首个数学科学周，主要由数学教研组、生命科学教研组及世界语言教研组的老师们策划实施。这一周的活动主要围绕着数学与科学进行，活动由学术探究，趣味实验、成果展示、视频制作、游戏、学术活动等多个部分组成，其目的是让学生体验数学与科学的魅力，培养学生对于科学与数学的兴趣，激发学生们的动手创作能力。

From March 11 to March 14 is the Math, Science and Modern World Languages departments sponsored the first ever Math and Science Week. This year, through research, experiments, video production, games, competitions, etc. students creatively experienced the charm of mathematics and science.

▲学生们通过自己做的展板和视频向大家展示科学家或科学现象

▲STEAM实验室里有趣多样的实验

▲同学们观看自己在本周制作的有关科学的视频

整个数学科学周与学生们的日常学习生活无缝对接，紧凑而又充实，学生们在走廊里精心准备了各种与科学家或科学现象有关的展板，利用课间时间向同学们做介绍；在科学课上进行多种多样的实验；拍摄创意十足的影片并在周五一起放映；还有π数学学术活动（3月14圆周率日举行）等等各种形式的比赛等等。在参与与展示中，激发了学生们对科学与数学的无限兴趣。

The whole Math and Science week is closely connected with the students' daily study and life. Week activities include the Pi competition, the games on the quad, the videos made by students in Robert and Stacy's classes andthe informative displays related to a multicultural range of scientiststhat are all in the hallways. Through participation and presentation, students' infinite interest in math and science was stimulated.

▲小学生们在制作过山车

▲八年级和三年级一起制作摆锤

▲高年级帮助小学生进行寻找DNA的实验

小学部的孩子们在中学部哥哥姐姐的帮助下进行“寻找DNA”、制造过山车、破解密码等等丰富多彩的实验。在清华附中国际部，从小学一年级开始就已经设置了科学与数学课程。除了科学知识原理，科学课程带给孩子更重要的其实是“科学思维”和“科学态度”。

The children in the primary school participated in various experiments such as "Looking for DNA ", making energy roller coasters and secret codes. At THIS, science and mathematics courses are offered since the first to twelfth grade. In addition to scientific knowledge and principles, what science courses bring to children is "scientific thinking" and "scientific attitude".

这一周对所有同学来说是创意十足、内容丰富、充满启发性的一周！清华附中国际部一直秉承开放式教学的传统。在科学知识学习上，不只是老师系统讲解，同时也是师生共同参与的互动式讨论式学习。每个学生都可根据自己的认知对科学理论提出自己的观点。老师鼓励同学们进行多种尝试，在科学实验中发现科学乐趣，培养科学探索精神。

This Math and Science week is truly an informative, creative and inspiring week for all students. THIS always adheres to the tradition of an ‘open teaching’ concept. Teaching is both a systematic explanation by teachers and also an interactive discussion between teachers and students. Teachers encourage students to try a variety of scientific experiments to find fun in science and cultivate the spirit of scientific exploration.
