高藤学子苏州生态研学之旅
在刚刚结束的苏州园林生态研学中，我们深入拙政园，解码了这座“世界文化遗产”中“道法自然”的水循环智慧。同学们化身生态侦探，观测“水下森林”、检测水质、绘制生态图谱。
During the recently concluded Suzhou Classical Garden Ecological Study Program, students ventured deep into the Humble Administrator's Garden, decoding the water-circulation wisdom of "following the laws of nature" embedded in thisUNESCO World Heritage Site. Acting as ecological detectives, they observed the "underwater forest," conducted water quality tests, and mapped ecological systems.
Kaelan同学在水质科考挑战营做实验
其中，来自美高的Kaelan同学表现突出——他主动思考、善于提问，展现出良好的逻辑思维。他对动手实践充满热情，亲手测量、记录、采样，展示出对科学实验的兴趣。
Among them,Kaelan, a student from the American High School program, stood out. He demonstrated strong logical thinking through proactive questioning and independent reflection. With a genuine passion for hands-on exploration, he personally carried out measurements, documentation, and sampling—revealing a deep interest in scientific experimentation.
而这，对他来说，
仅仅是一个宏大故事的序章。
Yet for Kaelan,
this was only the prologue to a much larger story.
凭借在研学中展现出的卓越观察力、科学热忱与团队协作精神，Kaelan被推荐进入更高阶的科研舞台——联合国教科文组织（UNESCO）认证的“SDG青年实验室：水质科考挑战营（48H）”。
Recognized for his outstanding observational skills, scientific curiosity, and collaborative spirit during the study program, Kaelan was recommended for an advanced research platform: the UNESCO-certifiedSDG Youth Laboratory: 48-Hour Water Quality Research Challenge Camp.
土壤微生物实验报告
令人惊喜的是，Kaelan在SDG实验室中，并未止步于对“水”的宏观观察，而是带领小组主动将视角延伸至与水体息息相关的“土壤”微观世界，完成了一份颇具深度的《土壤微生物实验报告》，实现了从生态现象到基因本质的科研跨界。
Notably, in the SDG Lab, Kaelan did not stop at a macroscopic observation of "water." Instead, he led his team to extend their inquiry into the microscopic world ofsoil, a critical component closely linked to aquatic ecosystems. The team completed an in-depthSoil Microbiology Experimental Report, achieving a meaningful interdisciplinary leap—from ecological phenomena to genetic mechanisms.
这标志着我们的研学体系，形成了一个 “观察-假设-实验-论证”的完整科学探究闭环，
而Kaelan的旅程，正是这一闭环价值的最佳体现。
This journey exemplifies how our experiential learning system forms a complete scientific inquiry loop ofobservation – hypothesis – experimentation – validation.
Kaelan's progress stands as a compelling demonstration of the value of this closed-loop model.
Kaelan同学在实验中做笔记
01、从“笔记”到“实验记录”：学习习惯的升华
From "Notes" to "Experimental Records" :
The Evolution of Learning Habits
Kaelan在课堂中逐渐养成了记笔记的习惯，但更注重理解与内化。在苏州，他的笔记本上满是生态关联的草图与问题；在SDG实验室，这份习惯进化成了严谨的实验流程记录与操作反思。
Kaelan gradually developed the habit of note-taking in class, with a strong emphasis oncomprehension and internalization. In Suzhou, his notebook was filled withsketches of ecological relationships and probing questions. In the SDG Lab, this habit evolved intorigorous documentation of experimental procedures and reflective evaluations.
Kaelan同学做实验
他从一个知识的接收者，转变为一个研究过程的主动设计者与记录者。
He transitioned from a passive recipient of knowledge to an active designer and recorder of the research process.
02、从“热衷实践”到“精准操作”：科研素养的锤炼
From "Hands-On Enthusiasm" to "Precision Operations":
The Refinement of Scientific Literacy
Kaelan对动手实践的浓厚兴趣，在顶尖实验室里得到了淬炼。小组前往上海青浦工业园区采集土壤样本，Kaelan与组员在专业导师指导下，完整执行了环境科学前沿的研究链路：
Kaelan's passion for hands-on practice was rigorously refined in a top-tier laboratory setting. His team conducted soil sampling in Shanghai's Qingpu Industrial Park under professional mentorship, completing a full research chain aligned with cutting-edge environmental science:
采样：规范采集可能受工业活动影响的土壤。
DNA提取：使用PMA试剂精准区分活菌/死菌，通过裂解、磁珠纯化等步骤提取微生物DNA。
qPCR定量分析：操作精密仪器，对特定微生物基因进行荧光定量。
Sampling: Standardized collection of soil potentially affected by industrial activities.
DNA Extraction: Use of PMA reagents to accurately distinguish live and dead bacteria, followed by cell lysis and magnetic-bead purification to extract microbial DNA.
qPCR Quantitative Analysis: Operation of precision instruments to quantify specific microbial genes using fluorescence.
面对称量精度、时间把控、液体操作等挑战，他的团队协作能力（同时作为核心队员参与生物CTB项目）发挥了关键作用，小组共同克服困难，其间的反思也成为了报告中宝贵的一部分。
Facing challenges such as measurement accuracy, time control, and liquid handling, Kaelan'sstrong teamwork skills—also demonstrated through his role as a core member of the Biology CTB Project—proved essential. The team collectively overcame difficulties, and their reflections became a valuable component of the final report.
03、从“理工科兴趣”到“清晰学术路径”：升学背景的夯实
From "STEM Interest" to a "Clear Academic Pathway": Strengthening the University Profile
对于计划赴美攻读理工科的Kaelan而言，此次经历远不止一次活动。它是一次完整的、国际认可的科研实践：从提出关于土壤健康的假设，到运用分子生物学技术验证，最终产出数据分析报告。
For Kaelan, who plans to pursue STEM studies in the United States, this experience was far more than an extracurricular activity.It constituted a complete, internationally recognized research project—from proposing hypotheses about soil health, to applying molecular biology techniques for validation, and finally producing a data-driven analytical report.
这份经历，连同UNESCO认证证书，为其申请简历提供了极具区分度的核心竞争力，清晰展示了他的学术好奇心、实践能力与解决复杂环境问题的潜力。
Together with the UNESCO certification, this experience provides a highly distinctive and competitive highlight in his academic profile, clearly demonstrating hisintellectual curiosity, practical competence, and potential to address complex environmental challenges.

04、从“个人成长”到“全球议题”：视野与责任的飞跃
From "Personal Growth" to "Global Issues":
A Leap in Vision and Responsibility
通过实验，Kaelan深刻理解了土壤微生物多样性对生态平衡和联合国SDG 15（陆地生物）的核心意义。他将苏州园林感悟的“系统观”与全球可持续发展目标相连，展现了作为一名青年全球公民的成长。
Through experimentation, Kaelan gained a profound understanding of the role of soil microbial diversity in ecological balance and its relevance toUN SDG 15: Life on Land. By connecting the systems thinking inspired bySuzhou's classical gardens with global sustainable development goals, he demonstrated the growth of a young global citizen.
在最终的小组PPT汇报中，他们清晰地展示了：
In the final group presentation, the team clearly showcased:
一张科学的研究路径图：从实地采样到基因数据。
Ascientific research roadmap, from field sampling to genetic data analysis.
一次严谨的技术实践：理解了前沿技术在环境诊断中的应用。
A rigorous technical practice, understanding how advanced technologies are applied in environmental diagnostics.
一份深刻的自我审计：对操作细节的反思，展现了批判性科学思维的成熟。
Areflective self-audit, highlighting critical thinking through analysis of operational details.
一个清晰的学科认知：认识到精准是环境微生物研究的生命线。
A clear disciplinary insight, recognizing precision as the lifeline of environmental microbiology research.
这对他而言，不仅是一次实验，更是学习主动性、效率与学术自信的显著提升，是朝着未来理工科殿堂迈出的坚实一步。
For Kaelan, this was not merely an experiment. It marked a significant improvement in learning initiative, efficiency, and academic confidence—a solid step toward future STEM excellence.
