上海燎原双语学校二年级刚刚过去的探究单元“世界如何运作”，我们的中心思想是地球和太阳产生的力影响我们的生活。

In the past UOI unit, our central Idea is The Earth and Sun have forces that affect our lives.

本单元是孩子们特别感兴趣的探究单元——太阳系，在本单元中我们去探究了自然界及自然规律;自然界和人类社会的互动;人类是如何利用他们对科学原理的理解以及科技颈部对社会与环境的影响。

This unit is the solar system that children are particularly interested in. In this unit, we inquiry the nature and natural laws; the interaction between nature and human society; how human beings use their understanding of scientific principles and the impact of technological on society and environment.

设计了许多有趣的环节，孩子们也展开了天马行空的想象，从他们的作品中，感受到了他们对宇宙的向往，对未来的向往，接下来就让我们去看看他们的作品吧!

Many interesting links have been designed, and children have also launched their imaginations. From their works, they feel their yearning for the universe and the future. Next, let's look at their works!

浩瀚的宇宙，我们的太阳系到底有多少奥秘呢?让我来探索一下吧……

How many mysteries does our solar system have in the vast universe? Let me inquiry

本单元小朋友畅游了太阳系，领略了八大行星及日食月食的风采，学习了地球公转及自转的相关知识，了解了雷电风雨的成因原理等，学中玩，玩中乐，乐中学

In this unit, the children have a good tour of the solar system, have a taste of the eight planets and their eclipses, have learned the relevant knowledge of the earth's revolution and rotation, have understood the causes and principles of thunderstorm and rain, have fun in learning, have fun in playing.

宇宙能引起儿童强烈的好奇与无限的遐想。遥远的星体或者具有空间思维的天文现象对小学生来说很遥远，但每个孩子似乎都喜欢凝视着曼妙的宇宙静静地思考。

The universe can arouse children's strong curiosity and infinite reverie. Distant stars or astronomical phenomena with space thinking are far away for primary school students, but every child seems to like to stare at the wonderful universe and think quietly.

学习天文知识，需要运用到学生的观察能力、判断能力、假设能力、空间思维能力等帮助学生在头脑中建构起宏观的宇宙概念。太阳和地球的运动也会引起季节的变化，我们在传统的中国节气中能更加直观的感受到这种变化。

To learn astronomy knowledge, we need to apply it to students' observation ability, judgment ability, hypothesis ability, space thinking ability and so on to help students construct a macro concept of the universe in their mind. The movement of the sun and the earth will also cause seasonal changes, which we can feel more intuitively in the traditional Chinese solar terms.

世界如何运作

我们与数学学科相结合，探究地球自转产生的时间差，学生们自己动手探究各式各样的钟：有制作各地时差钟，有爱吃的水果可爱小动物的少女钟，有给爸爸设计的定时喝水的水杯钟，有和妈妈合作的蛋糕钟。

We inquiry the time difference caused by the earth's rotation. Students inquiry all kinds of clocks by themselves: time difference clocks made in different places, clocks with cute animals, water cup clocks designed for Dad to drink water regularly, and cake clocks designed for cooperation with mom.

虽然疫情当下，居家学习物资条件不便，但是孩子们反而发挥了无穷的想象力和创造力，用家中可利用的材料去创造性地表达自己对本单元太阳系学习的理解。

In spite of the current epidemic situation and inconvenient materials for home-based learning, the children have exerted infinite imagination and creativity to creatively express their understanding of the solar system unit learning with the materials available at home.

在家宅着也没闲着，为了了解清楚宇宙的奥秘，我们亲自动手去了解日地月之间的关系，探究地球上出现的四季和昼夜现象，发现地球上的奇妙自然现象。

In order to understand the mysteries of the universe, we have to understand the relationship between the sun, the earth and the moon, explore the four seasons and the day and night phenomena on the earth, and discover the wonderful natural phenomena on the earth.

二年级的学生在我们最近的探究单元中一直在探索太阳系。我们从宇宙出发，到我们的银河系，然后进入我们的太阳系。我们关注地球、太阳和月亮。我们研究了日夜和季节的变化;我们研究了月相和潮汐，并研究了重力。

Grade 2 has been exploring the Solar System in our most recent unit of inquiry. We started from the universe and zoomed in through our galaxy, the Milky Way, and then into our Solar System. We focused on the Earth, Sun and Moon. We looked at how day and night and the seasons happen; we investigated the moon phases and tides and looked at the force of gravity.

当我们学习太阳的时候，我们做了手影戏。这是一只狗妈妈和一只小狗。

We made shadow puppets when we were learning about the sun. This is a mother dog and a baby dog.

在英文课上，我们阅读和学习了非时间顺序的报告写作，为本单元的书面表达提供了更多方式，并尝试了用这一写作形式进行了月球主题的创作。

We looked at non-chronological reports in English and wrote some of our own about the moon.

我们喜欢学习月球的相位，并制作月球相位的奥利奥模型。

We loved learning about the moon phases, and making Oreo models of the moon’s phases.

我们进行了实验来测试重力的影响。你认为较重或较轻的物体哪个会先着地吗?

We carried out experiments to test the effects of gravity. Do you think a heavier or a lighter object would hit the ground first?

我们展示了对太空旅行的理解。我们用在家里发现的瓶子和其他材料制造火箭。

We showed our understanding of space travel. We made rockets using bottles and other materials we found in our homes.

我们通过制作3D图纸来展示对地球不同层次的理解。

We showed understanding of the different layers of the Earth by making 3D paper diagrams.

我们想象着没有重力的生活会是什么样子!

We thought about what life would look like without gravity!

宇宙和太阳系，有着孩子们的无穷幻想。疫情期间有限的材料反而激发了无限想象力，每一个独具匠心的设计中都展现着孩子的概念理解和多元表达，让我们跟着孩子的步伐去探索世界吧!敬请期待下一个单元：过去!

The universe and the solar system, with children's infinite fantasy. During the epidemic, the limited materials stimulated the infinite imagination. In every ingenious design, the concept understanding and differential expression of children are displayed. Let's follow the steps of children to explore the world! Please look forward to the next unit: The past!
