What is disciplinary thinking? Put simply, disciplinary thinking refers to the way experts in a particular field view the world. Scientific thinking is the cognitive approach employed by scientists to understand natural phenomena. In comparison to other disciplines, scientific thinking places special emphasis on facts, logic, the acquisition of evidence through observation and experimentation, and the establishment of viewpoints and theories based on rigorous reasoning.

什么是学科思维？简单地说，学科思维就是学科专家看世界的方式。科学思维是科学家认识自然现象时运用的思维方法。和其他学科相比，科学思维特别强调事实、逻辑，通过观察、实验获取证据，并在严格论证基础上建立观点和理论。

In our science classes, we strive to create a relatively authentic context where children can continuously explore and understand nature, satisfying their curiosity. At the same time, they discover more questions they want to know the answers to, generating new curiosity. Science class is all about keeping the cycle of curiosity going.

在科学课上，我们努力创设相对真实的情境，让孩子通过持续地探究认识自然，满足他们的好奇心。同时，他们发现更多想知道的问题，产生新的好奇。科学课就是让好奇心循环起来。

In investigating a natural phenomenon, apart from observation, group cooperation and division of tasks are also vital aspects. By assigning various roles within the group, children work together to complete an inquiry task, and when encountering challenges, they communicate in a reasonable manner, showcasing the learner profile of Inquirers, Communicators and Caring.

探究一个自然现象，除了观察，小组合作和分工也是非常重要的环节。孩子们通过设定不同的分工角色，共同完成一个探究任务，遇到问题时合理地沟通，展示了“积极探究、善于交流、懂得关爱”的IB学习者品质。
