世界之大，無奇不有。讓我們跟隨充滿探究力、創造力的雙語部二年級的孩子們，領略大自然的鬼斧神工吧！

添加滑動效果）What a big world we live in! There are a lot of amazing things in the world. The Bilingual Section Yr2 students presented a creative, natural world for us to explore.

開幕式上，小研究員們簡單介紹了研究內容，還拋出了一個個有趣的問題，讓人迫不及待地想開始參觀、游覽了呢！

At the Opening Ceremony, the students had a brief introduction where they also asked many interesting questions. They declared that there are places in the world that people can’t help visiting and exploring.

在2A班的小朋友們自編的歡快歌謠中，我們來到了熟悉的亞洲，這里有：中國—鬼斧神工的吉林霧凇、甘肅絲綢之路張掖、馬爾代夫熒光海灘與日本的活火山富士山。The 2A students sang joyful songs which they composed. We visited a familiar part of Asia. Here we saw the hoarfrost in Jilin China, the Zhang Ban of the Silk Road of Gansu,the  beaches of the Maldives and the volcanic mountain of Mount Fuji  in Japan.

2B班的小朋友研究的是北美洲，那里有“極光之都”阿拉斯加費爾班克斯、地球上的神奇樂園“黃石公園”、世界上最大的水晶洞穴“奈卡水晶洞”與世界三大瀑布之一“尼亞加拉”大瀑布。The 2B students researched North America where they discovered “the capital of the Aurora in  Alaska Fairbanks, the magic paradise on the earth at  “Yellowstone Park”, the world’s largest crystal cave at Naika and one of the world’s three largest waterfalls - Niagara Falls.

“棉花堡里有沒有棉花糖呀？” 帶著問題，我們走進了2C班的探索歐洲奇觀之旅：土耳其棉花堡、冰島藍洞、塞爾維亞魔鬼城與北愛爾蘭巨人之路。

Is there any cotton candy in the Pamukkale?” We enter the 2C's European visit. THey told us about the Pamukkale in Turkey,the  Blue Cave in Iceland, a Serbian Ghost City and the Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland.

哇！那里有好幾個小朋友在跳非洲舞！聽著有節奏感的旋律，看到堆積著沙粒石子“撒哈拉模型”，我們來到了2D班的展區：恩戈羅火山、東非大裂谷、撒哈拉大沙漠和乞力馬扎羅山。

Wow!There are some children performing African Dances. We hear the melody,and we see the sandy “Sahara Model”. 2D class researched the  Ngoro volcano, the East African Rift Valley, the Sahara Desert and Mount Kilimanjaro.

其實，這不僅僅是一次科學探究，也是對于學生動手能力、社交能力、演講能力、概括能力的綜合培養。從搜集信息到制作模型、小報，從宣傳引流到演講介紹，從提出問題到概括總結……相信每一個認真參與活動的小朋友，都能收獲屬于自己的難忘回憶！

This is not only a science research, but also hands-on activities for the students. It develops social skills, the students speaking ability, and the ability to summarise their findings. We believe that each student has  precious memories through collecting information, making models and doing posters.  They also learned to promote their areas confidently and improved their ability to ask questions.
