以好奇启智,以探索育人:武汉二中中外合作办学项目鲜活生动的 AP 生物学课堂

　　“教育犹如耕耘花园 —— 每位学生都是独一无二的花朵，以好奇为养分、以挑战为磨砺、以关怀为滋养，每一颗心灵都能绚烂绽放。”

“Teaching is like cultivating a garden—each student is a unique flower, and with curiosity, challenge, and support, every mind can bloom.”

　　十余年来，我始终以创意、初心与热忱，深耕 AP 生物学教学。我的课堂是一片孕育好奇的花园，每位学生都有着独特的需求、学习方式与无限潜能。正如园丁悉心调配阳光、水分与土壤，我以适度挑战、暖心鼓励与自主探索，滋养每一位学子成长。

For over a decade, I have dedicated myself to teaching AP Biology with creativity, purpose, and passion. My classroom is a garden of curiosity, where every student has distinct needs, learning styles, and potential. Just as a gardener carefully tends to sunlight, water, and soil, I nurture students with a balance of challenge, encouragement, and exploration.

　　我摒弃传统讲授与幻灯片式教学，让课堂因实验、项目与学生自主探究而充满生机。

I am strongly opposed to traditional lectures and reading from slides. Instead, my classroom is alive with experiments, projects, and student-led discovery.

　　上学期，学生们自主筹办科学博览会，让生物学 “活” 了起来。从基因模拟、细胞生物学到遗传实验，同学们亲手设计方案、验证假说、展示成果。他们不再是被动记忆知识点，而是像真正的科学家一般，开展批判性思考、团队协作与科学表达。

Last semester, students organized a science fair that brought biology to life. From genetic simulations to cell biology and heredity experiments, students designed experiments, tested hypotheses, and presented their findings. They weren’t just memorizing facts—they were thinking critically, collaborating, and communicating like real scientists.

科学展

　　“学生们不只是在学习 —— 他们在探索、在实验、在向世界展示自己的思考。”

“Students weren’t just learning—they were discovering, experimenting, and presenting their ideas to the world."

　　在生物辩论课上，学生们直面基因工程、基因治疗、生物技术伦理困境等前沿议题。辩论教会他们分析证据、构建论点、多元思考，将课本知识与现实应用紧密相连。许多同学表示，这类课堂让他们跳出思维定式，真切理解生物学如何塑造社会。

In biological debate classes, students tackle topics such as genetic engineering, gene therapy, and ethical dilemmas in biotechnology. These debates teach them to analyze evidence, construct arguments, and consider multiple perspectives, helping them connect classroom knowledge to real-world applications. Many students report these sessions encourage them to think outside the box and see how biology shapes society.

辩论课，邀请了其他老师做裁判

　　“辩论推动学生批判性思考、捍卫观点，让科学与真实世界同频共振。"

“Debates push students to think critically, defend their ideas, and connect science to the world around them."

　　这一切，离不开圣玛丽校方教学管理团队的鼎力支持。学校为创新项目与体验式学习提供资源、指导与鼓励；同事们共享思路、开展跨学科教研，共同营造充满活力与温度的教学氛围。学生们耳濡目染，懂得协作、尊重与支持，本就是学习的一部分。

None of this would be possible without the incredible support of St. Mary's academic management team. The school provides resources, guidance, and encouragement for innovative projects and experiential learning. My colleagues share ideas, collaborate on interdisciplinary lessons, and create a vibrant, supportive environment. Students notice this collaboration and learn that teamwork, respect, and support are part of learning.

　　“这里不只是工作场所，更是一个大家庭；学生们每天都在见证协作的力量。”

“It’s not just a workplace—it’s a family, and students see the power of collaboration every day."

　　在我的课堂上，生物学从来不是记录幻灯片或知识点，而是探索、追问与发现生命的奇迹。从细胞信号传导、基因表达的分子奥秘，到遗传与进化的宏观规律，学生们感受的是一门有温度、有生命力的学科。在动手实验、思辨辩论与团队项目中，他们收获好奇之心、坚韧品格与科学素养。

In my classroom, biology isn't about memorizing slides or facts—it’s about exploring, questioning, and discovering the wonders of life. Students engage with science as a living, breathing discipline, from the molecular intricacies of cell signaling and gene expression to the big-picture concepts of heredity and evolution. Through hands-on experiments, debates, and collaborative projects, they develop curiosity, resilience, and scientific literacy.

生物实验

　　教授 AP 生物学，就是助力学生释放全部潜能，一如园丁呵护花园中每一株生命。以好奇为引、以创意为翼、以挑战为砺、以支持为盾，学生们走出课堂时，不仅从容应对考试，更能以批判性思维审视世界、以无畏勇气探索未知、以真诚之心拥抱生活。

Teaching AP Biology is about helping students reach their fullest potential, just like a gardener nurturing each plant in a diverse garden. With curiosity, creativity, challenge, and support, students leave the classroom prepared not just for exams but for life, ready to think critically, explore boldly, and engage meaningfully with the world around them.

　　“在这里任教，我满心欢喜。能与这群才华横溢的少年同行，是我的荣幸 —— 他们潜力非凡，我们的未来寄托在他们身上。”

“I am truly happy teaching here. It is a pleasure to work with so many talented and gifted young people—their potential is extraordinary, and our future depends on them.”

　　“教育最动人的奇迹，是见证学生成长、绽放，并亲手找到科学的热爱与快乐。”

“The true wonder of teaching is watching students grow, flourish, and discover the joy of science for themselves.”
