特殊区域班

一年级, 学生将探讨以下问题:空间关系在多大程度上影响了生物和地点之间的关系? 他们通过探索他们的五种感官如何帮助他们进行观察来做到这一点, 发现新事物, 并对他们周围的世界提出问题，包括地球和更远的地方. 学生们探索太阳是如何形成的, 月亮, and stars change position in the sky and how this affects their daily lives; how sound and light can be used to communicate and solve problems; and they look at how 计划ts and animals use their superpower senses and adaptations to survive in each of their environments.

二年级, 学生探索的问题:检查因果关系如何帮助我们理解生物之间的关系, 土地和水, 物质的变化? They do this through questioning and observing how water can re形状 the earth's surface; diving deep into the dirt and discovering how vital soil is to existence; 探索 how a material's properties have a direct effect on its function; examining the many factors that can contribute to a 计划t's survival; and studying the many cause and effect relationships within animal species and their habitats. 生物多样性是二年级的基本主题, 学生们了解地球上各种各样的生命.

在三年级, 学生们探讨了这样一个问题:研究过去的证据能在多大程度上帮助我们做出预测, 预防未来的问题, 做出影响未来的决定? They do this through investigating how clouds are formed and creating arguments using evidence about weather predictions; analyzing the history of the earth's climate and identifying problems that have arisen due to rising 蛋彩画tures; identifying the relationship between changes in the environment and the survival of organisms that live there; discovering how pollination works and studying how humans continue to make food 计划ts even more useful; and studying how force changes form and how this allows students to have a larger impact on the world.

四年级, 学生探索这个问题:如何利用对变革的理解来影响我们在更大的系统中的角色? They do this through building models of different body parts and determining how they can transform the information collected into information coded for robots; investigating the ways land transforms and using that to analyze patterns in land and rock; discovering how sound works and connecting it to how their ears sense vibrations and transform sounds; and designing systems to observe how energy transforms from one form to another and using that information to design a chain reaction.
