【Field Trip】Arbor Day植树养蚕

Keep Calm and Carry On

March 11, 2023早起看天气，介绍植树节和树的重要性Wakey wakey, time to get up. Today we 're gonna plant a tree at the farm. Daddy will drive us there. Open the curtain and look outside. Is it a sunny day? No. It is dull and overcast outside. Let me check the weather APP. Sure enough, the weather forecast says it is a another hazy day and the air pollution is bad. That reminds us to protect our environment, right? Planting trees is a good way to protect our environment. Do you know tomorrow is Arbor Day? Arbor means tree. Arbor Day is also called Tree Planting Day. On that day, people are encouraged to plant and care for trees. Trees are very useful and helpful for us and all the living things. Trees give off oxygen which we need to breathe. There are more benefits we gain from trees. They're like tiny living planets offering food and shelter to different animals. Human beings get wood and fruit from trees. Besides, they can help soften the wind strength and rain. Try to imagine, on a rainy day, we shelter from the rain under a tree and on a very hot sunny day, we find relief under a shade of a tree. As you can see, there are many reasons to look after trees and better to plant them and help them grow strong and healthy. 开车出发Get into the car, scooch over a little bit and make some room for Mommy. Sit properly, don't step on the seat, your shoes are dirty. Are you ready? Off we go. We're heading to 三元农业科技园, a farm. Let me open the Map APP to get directions and see how long it will take. It looks like we'll get there in about 30 minutes. How do you want to pass this time? How about listening to a story? Or you can look out the window and watch everything going on outside. We can see a lot of traffic and magnificent buildings, right? Isn't living in a big city exciting? We're almost there. Hang on a little while. Here we are. Get out of the car. 到达签到Let's go to sign in on arrival. Sign your name on this paper which means we have arrived here. Today we are in the Green team. The man with a green flag in hand is our tour guide. There are a lot of things we can do at this farm, such as picking vegetables, planting trees, observing silkworms and roasting sweet potatos. 种树过程Look, this is a large open field. We're gonna plant trees here. Have you spotted the white dots on the ground? They are where we dig holes. The teacher is handing out saplings. Go get one and bring it here. First, let's put on the gloves to keep our hands clean. Then use this shovel to dig a hole deep enough for the root ball to fit in. Put the sapling in. It seems a little bit crooked. Straighten it, tilt it to the left. Hold it tight. Daddy is gonna fill the hole with dirt until the root is fully buried. Are we done yet? The last step is to water the sapling. Don't forget to tag the sapling. Tie your name tag onto it. Finished. 在三元农业科技园还可以采摘，观察蚕蜜蜂，烤红薯，夏天来还可以插秧捉泥鳅。 pick vegetables observe silkworms eat roasted sweet potatos 回到家玩了植物生命周期，做手工画画复述Let's learn about the life cycle of a plant. We plant a seed in the soil. The first thing that grows out of the seed is the root. Roots are very useful. Because of them, the plant sticks to the ground. At the same time, they soak up water and minerals(nutrients) in the soil. They're also like hands grabbing hold of the earth avoiding it from being eroded by the wind and water. Shoot is first stem for a new plant. It grows toward the sunlight. The plant needs soil, sunlight and water to grow. Do you know how a plant get water? When It's raining or we water it, it can get water. Water and all the nutrients it receives from the root extend throughout the plant and help it grow tall and strong. Day by day, shoot grows up into a young plant. The young plant grows into a flower. The plant makes seeds in the flower. When the seeds are ready, they will fall into the soil and grow into new plants and flowers. 养蚕小记身体构造The part of the silkwormhead, thorax(chest), abdomen, there is a horn on the tail, called the tail horn.蚕的身体分为头部，胸部，腹部，蚕尾巴上有一个角，称为尾角。Its feet are also divided into chest feet, abdomen feet and tail feet. 它的脚也分为胸部脚，腹部脚和尾部脚。 The reason why the silkworm can't fall down is that: silkworms have suckers on their feet, so they can stick to the stems and not fall off. You can try to put it on your hand to see if it will stick to your hand. Look at the tiny black dots on each side of its body. They are silkworm's nose. 保存桑叶How to preserve fresh mulberry leaves.See this bag of leaves are silkworms food，they are special leaves, they are called mulberry leaves.Let's preserve the mulberry leaves now. Otherwise, when the mulberry leaves get dry, the baby silkworm will have nothing to eat.宝贝，看到这袋叶子是蚕食，它们是特殊的叶子，被称为桑叶。现在让我们保存桑叶。否则，桑叶变干，蚕宝宝将无法进食。保存步骤Steps：1. Take out the mulberry leaves and put them on the table.2. Take out the mulberry leaves one by one and put them in order.3. Flatten the pressed mulberry leaves.4. Arrange mulberry leaves by size. Fold the mulberry leaves of the same size together. Attention, make them face up.5. Sprinkle some water on it.6. Put them in a plastic bag, then put it in the refrigerator, they will keep for a week.1. 取出桑叶放在桌子上。2. 将桑叶一一取出，并整理好。3. 压平桑叶。4. 按尺寸排列桑叶。将相同大小的桑叶折在一起，注意，面朝上。5. 在上面洒些水。6. 将它们放入塑料袋中，然后放入冰箱，可以保存一周。If we want to take the mulberry leaves out of the refrigerator and give them to the baby silkworm, we should first put them outside for a while, and then we can give them to the baby silkworm only when it's not so cold, otherwise the baby silkworm will have stomach ache.如果我们想把桑叶从冰箱里拿出来，送给蚕宝宝，我们应该先将它们放在外面一晾会儿，不冷了，再把它们送给宝宝蚕。否则蚕宝宝肠胃会受不了。 B：Where shall we put it?M：The best temperature for silkworm babies is 20 to 30 degrees. You can't put them in a hot place or in the sun.You can put it on your desk and observe it every day. B：我们应该放在哪里？M：家蚕宝宝的最佳温度是20到30度。您不能将它们放在炎热的地方或阳光下。您可以将其放在桌上，每天观察。 清理蚕屎B：Mom, what are the black dots in the box?M：The black dots in the box are the poop of the silkworm. The more babies eat, the more they poop, and they grow up fast.B：Yes.M：Look，what's this?B：I don't know.M：It's old skin. It means they are molting. This is the third time they're molting. They will grow up.Each times it molts, it sheds the old skin and grows a larger one.Let's clean up their house and line it with some new leaves, making the house warm and cozy. 蚕的生命周期After the forth molt, it will spin a cocoon around itself. Inside the cocoon, the silkworm changes into a pupa. Then the pupa changes into a moth. The moth comes out of the cocoon. Adult moths mate with each other. Female moth lays eggs. Baby silkworm hatches out of the egg. This is the life cycle of a silkworm. 拓展：植树节介绍What is Arbor Day?Arbor Day is one day in the year that prevents deforestation, celebrates trees and promotes planting.
