This spring, pockets of lush greenery emerged in HW fifth-grade classrooms. This surprising sight made passersby – teachers, classmates, and parents – do a double-take. Classroom or farm? Thriving green vegetables contrasted with simple frames, creating a striking scene!

老师和家长纷纷驻足观察、感慨赞叹。原来，这是同学们正在开展的PBL项目学习！孩子们化身“城市新农人”，用一场充满科技与创意的PBL项目式学习，揭开垂直农场的神秘面纱，为可持续发展写下属于自己的绿色答案。

Teachers and parents stopped to observe and marvel. This was the students' Project-Based Learning (PBL) in action! Transforming into "urban new farmers," they embarked on a tech-driven PBL project, demystifying vertical farming and crafting their own green solutions for sustainability.

华外小学部每个年级以不同的主题开展“城市主题跨学科项目系列课程”PBL项目学习，五年级的课程主题为《垂直农场设计》。课程依据新课标对跨学科主题教学的要求，注重让大概念教学、项目式学习等理念与方法落地。

The Vertical Farm Design course is part of HW's "Urban Theme Interdisciplinary Project Series." It aligns with new curriculum standards for interdisciplinary learning, implementing concepts like big idea teaching and project-based learning.

《垂直农场设计》项目课程带领学生探索解决这一挑战的方法。学生们扮演垂直农场设计师的角色，通过科学探究和动手实践，了解垂直农场的主要特征，掌握水培种植的基本方法，并在此基础上，设计一个充分利用空间、节约水资源，并能为城市居民提供充足优质蔬菜水果的垂直农场方案。

This course guides students to explore solutions. Acting as vertical farm designers, they investigate and experiment to understand vertical farming's core features and master basic hydroponic methods. Their goal: design a vertical farm plan that maximizes space, conserves water, and provides sufficient, quality produce for city residents.

课程包含三个循序渐进的子任务，跟着步骤走，孩子们逐渐成为水培种植小专家：

The course progresses through three structured tasks, turning students into hydroponic experts:

蔬菜种子萌发 

幼苗定植及育苗 

水培种植系统搭建 

幼苗移栽至种植架  

悉心照料 

蔬菜生长   

蔬菜收获 

在教学开放周活动中，同学们将PBL项目研究的丰硕成果，生动鲜活地呈现在家长们面前，每一份展示都凝聚着探索的智慧与实践的热忱 。

During Teaching Open Week, students presented their substantial PBL project outcomes to parents. Each display reflected their dedication and ingenuity in exploration and practice.

在这段日子里，每一个清晨到黄昏，孩子们细心照料，关注着每一次叶片的舒展，每一滴营养液的调配，用心感受着每一株蔬菜的成长变化。看着幼苗在无土的环境中茁壮成长，他们见证了科技与自然的完美融合。这不仅是蔬菜的生长，更是他们梦想的拔节。

Day after day, students tended their plants. They monitored leaf growth, mixed nutrient solutions, and observed each plant's progress. Seeing seedlings thrive without soil demonstrated nature and technology working together. This was more than plant growth; it was their dreams taking shape.

两个月时光荏苒，当收获的时刻来临，孩子们手中鲜嫩的蔬菜，是汗水与智慧浇灌的成果。他们不仅仅收获了那一片绿油油、生机勃勃的蔬菜，更在这个过程中见证了彼此的成长与蜕变。他们在垂直农场里，种下未来的绿色希望，收获对环境友好的深刻理解，以及探索未知的勇气与担当。这段经历无疑是最生动、最真实的教材，它教会了我们责任、耐心以及团队合作的重要性。让我们一起分享这份由汗水浇灌而成的喜悦吧！

After two months, harvest arrived. The fresh greens in their hands were the fruit of hard work and ingenuity. Beyond the vibrant produce, they witnessed personal growth and transformation. In their vertical farms, they planted seeds of hope for a greener future, gained a deeper understanding of environmental stewardship, and discovered the courage to innovate. This hands-on experience was their most vivid lesson, teaching responsibility, patience, and teamwork. Let's share the joy cultivated by their effort!
