The 4th and 5th grade students visited the Yutong bus factory! The students learned about the bus production process, including how the bus is built on the assembly line and then tested to ensure it is safe to be used. This connects to the 4th grade unit of inquiry into the economy. The students also learned about how the buses are "eco-buses," using electric energy to recharge instead of relying on gasoline and connecting to the 4th grade unit of inquiry into energy.

The 4th and 5th graders continued their learning by hearing about the invention of the self-driving bus. They identified elements of the invention process used by the company. This will help the students as they create their own inventions for their Invention Convention!

“After this field trip, the students learnt about the process of how the company takes materials and create buses. They also got to know what it takes to create these buses. They took notes and researching, so they can use this for the Invention Convention that we’ll have on Friday, March 31st. So, definitely come and check out their inventions at the Invention Convention.”

--5th grade homeroom teacher Ms. Levrets

“I’m here with our wonderful 4th and 5th grade students on a field trip to Yutong Bus factory. The students toke notes. Later they are going to be writing a report on their visit to the factory. They have looked at how the frames of the buses are painted and how the buses are tested at the special test track…. Then we also had a test driving the latest self-driving buses.”

--Dean of student Mr. Bond

“Today, our class and the 5th grade went on a field trip to Yutong buses. We learnt something on economy. We were so excited that we sit on a bus called Xiaoyu. It is small, but it can drive by itself. Nobody needs to drive it. It is so cool!!”

3月15日我校四年级和五年级的学生一同参观了宇通客车工厂，开启了他们的研学之旅! 学生们了解了公共汽车生产的全过程，包括公共汽车是如何在装配线上建造的，随后进行出厂前的各种性能测试以确保使用安全。这与四年级正在以“经济调查”为主题的学习探究单元相关联。此外，学生们还了解到了公共汽车是如何成为 “生态公共汽车” 的，明白其利用电能而不是依靠汽油提供动力去前进驱使，由此又连接到了四年级的另一学习探究单元—“能源调查”。

四年级和五年级的学生还通过了解自动驾驶巴士的发明过程来继续他们的学习。学生们通过工厂实地调查及问讯工厂员工确定了这些巴士的发明过程所需要的生产要素。这将有助于学生迸发出更多发明创造灵感，支持接下来的发明大会得以顺利举行!

四年级和五年级的学生通过来到宇通客车工厂研学之后，明白了如何获得材料并研发公交车的，而且学生们也参观了解公交车是如何进行制造与生产的，他们做了详细的调查笔记，这些笔记可以用于将在3月31号周五举行的“发明大会”，所以说你一定要来看发明大会上学生的作品！

今天同四年级及五年级的学生来到了宇通客车工厂进行户外研学，同学们正在认真的将他们在工厂里面的所见所闻记录下来，他们了解到了汽车的结构是如何上色的，是如何在特殊的道路上进行测试的···然后同学们也很高兴的乘坐了宇通最新款的无人驾驶汽车。

今天我们和五年级的同学一起来到了宇通客车工厂，在这里进行户外研学，我们了解到了有关经济运作的相关消息，也参观了一些工厂制造车间，更高兴的是我们还乘坐了一个叫“小宇”的无人驾驶公交车，它很酷！
