September 15th and 16th the Grade 12 IB DP Science students explored Disneyland Shanghai to develop innovative, authentic questions for collaborative research, and connect their science learning to real-world issues. This year’s CSP Question was:
上周，协和古北12年级学生前往上海迪士尼乐园，旨在设计富有创新性与真实性的协作研究问题，并将科学知识学习与现实世界议题相结合。此次协作科学项目（CSP）的核心主题为：
To what extent does the design of this space contribute to
positive interactions between human society and the environment?
该空间的设计在多大程度上促进了人类社会与环境之间的积极互动？
During the CSP, students from different science classes worked together to take photographs of scientific phenomena and explain them using Claim, Evidence and Scientific Reasoning. This allowed for concepts across multiple subjects to be shared, helping students develop an understanding of the relationships between scientific disciplines and their influence on other areas of knowledge. Moreover, through fieldwork, students were able to appreciate the environmental, social and ethical implications of STEM- Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. Students collected a range of photographs as well as primary data, which was analyzed and evaluated upon return to school.
在项目开展期间，来自不同班级的学生共同协作，拍摄科学现象相关照片，并运用 “主张-证据-科学推理” 框架对现象进行解释。这一过程不仅实现了多学科概念的交流共享，还帮助学生理解了各科学学科之间的关联，以及这些学科对其他知识领域的影响。此外，通过实地考察，学生得以深入认识科学、技术、工程与数学（STEM）在环境、社会及伦理层面的意义。学生们收集了各类照片及一手数据，返回学校后对这些材料进行了分析与评估。
To maximize the time spent engaged in research work, we enlisted support from Disney Education Team. Students participated in the STEM Lesson “Behind the Attractions,” which included Disney history and origins, core elements of Attraction Design like Theme, Vehicle, and Trigger Points. The teamwork-focused STEM class incorporated engineering, math, and economic concepts. In this engaging, interactive course, students get an inside look at how Disney designs and uses technology to enhance experiences by immersing guests in our stories. From attraction design to ride capacity, students learn why technology is the most valuable and challenging tool to integrate into daily theme park operations.
为最大限度提升研究时间的利用效率，我们邀请了迪士尼教育团队提供支持。学生参与了主题为 “游乐设施背后的科学”的STEM课程，内容涵盖迪士尼发展历史与起源、游乐设施设计的核心要素（如主题、载具及触发点）。这门以团队协作为核心的STEM课程融入了工程学、数学及经济学相关概念。在这门生动有趣的互动课程中，学生得以深入了解迪士尼如何通过设计与技术应用，让游客沉浸于故事之中，从而提升游玩体验。从游乐设施设计到载客量规划，学生们认识到，在主题公园的日常运营中，技术是最具价值但也最具挑战性的整合工具。
Students started the Day at Barbosa’s Bounty for the STEM hands-on lesson, then rode the Battle for the Sunken Treasure/Pirates of the Caribbean ride, meeting for a summary lesson afterwards. The rest of the afternoon students had time to explore the park and apply concepts and techniques from the STEM lessons into photographs and scientific explanations. The end result is a collection of posters that will be displayed at the November GCE, explaining a variety of concepts from Science, Theory of Knowledge, Engineering, and Math.
活动当天，学生首先在巴波萨烧烤店参与了STEM实践课程，随后体验了 “加勒比海盗——沉落宝藏之战”游乐项目，之后参加了总结课程。下午剩余的时间里，学生在乐园内自由探索，将STEM课程中学到的概念与方法应用于科学现象的拍摄及科学解释的撰写中。此次项目的最终成果是一系列主题海报，这些海报将于 11 月的家长会上展出，阐释涵盖科学、知识理论、工程学及数学等领域的各类概念。
