中学水平科学教育的关键领域

JinStar secondary level science courses are written to develop a deeper understanding of a range of scientific ideas in the subject disciplines of biology, chemistry and physics. Students will begin to see the connections between these subject areas and become aware of some of the big ideas underpinning scientific knowledge and understanding. Examples of these big ideas are the links between structure and function in living organisms, the particulate model as the key to understanding the properties and interactions of matter in all its forms, and the resources and means of transfer of energy as key determinants of all of these interactions. They will be encouraged to relate scientific explanations to phenomena in the world around them and start to use modelling and abstract ideas to develop and evaluate explanations.

今之星中学科学课程旨在帮助学生们对生物学、化学、物理学这三门主科的科学理念获得更深的理解。学生们将开始看到这三门学科之间的关联，从而获得一些重大的科学概念。举例说，这些重大概念包括：生命体中结构与功能的关联、作为了解一切形式的物质的性质及相互作用的关键因素的微粒模型、以及资源和能源转换方式（这是所有这些相互作用的决定因素）。我们鼓励学生们将科学阐述与周围世界的种种现象相联系，开始使用模块化和抽象化思维，从而发展学生对科学现象的诠释能力和评估能力。
