野外考察乃科學探究活動，過程包括觀察現象、提出問題、
擬訂假說、設計方法、進行實驗和詮釋結果。學生不但要從中驗證事物，還須掌握科學探究的過程，包括澄清問題、設計實驗、數據記錄和詮釋，以及將結果表達令人明白了解。在野外考察訓練的過程中，我們不單要求學生找到正確的答案，而且更培養學生在發展科學時須應用的技能。學生除了掌握事實和操作技巧外，還須學習成為具批判性的學習者。
Field study is a scientific
investigation
work
which involve
observing
phenomena,
defining problems,
formulating hypotheses, designing
and
conducting
investigations,
and
interpreting
results.
These
kinds
of
activity
are
not
only
for
verification
purposes,
but
also
allow
students
to
understand
the
process of
science,
including
how
to
clarify
questions,
how
to
design
an
experiment,
how
to
record and
interpret
data,
and
how
to
communicate
the
knowledge
generated.
It
should
be noted
that developing science process
skills
is
as important
as
finding correct
answers.
Students
are
expected
to
master
much
more
than
facts
and
manipulative
skills
through field studies. They
must
learn to be critical
thinkers.
課程目的

- 運用科學思維及具創造性
- 運用科學語言與他人有效地交流意見和觀點。
to
enable students to :
- make careful observations, ask relevant questions,
identify problems and formulate hypotheses for
investigation;
- plan, conduct and write reports on scientific
investigations;
- think scientifically and creatively;
- communicate ideas and views effectively with others,
using the language of science.
