哈罗深圳的教学重点之一是创造一种高学术期望的文化氛围，培养学生对科学的热爱和好奇心。我们务求建立一个涵盖丰富知识的课程体系，每年都以之前教授的主题为基础，这样学生就可以在现有知识的基础上扩展新知识，将他们目前的理解联系起来。
我们培养学生学习新的语言，帮助他们能够像科学家一样进行写作和表达，并挑战阅读特定的科学类文本。
六至八年级的学生每周会完成五节科学课，由科学专业老师进行授课。每年他们会修读且完成生物、化学和物理等不同单元的学习课程。课程按主题顺序排列，旨在给学生机会练习并温习特定的科学词汇和学习内容。
我们培养科学家的方法，是从让学生参与到“发现”和“实验”的过程开始的。
我们的课程基于新旧知识交错的螺旋，使学生能够建立和扩展他们对知识大框架和科学类概念的理解，如粒子理论，能量和生命过程；随着他们在预科阶段学习上的进步进而锻炼他们的科学敏锐度。
在学生提问、猜测、比较结果和评估周围世界的复杂过程中，牢牢掌握基础学科知识被认为是成为科学家的重要前提和组成部分。
At Harrow Shenzhen, the focus of Science is creating a culture of high academic expectations and to foster a love and curiosity for science. We strive to build a knowledge rich curriculum, that each year builds on the previously taught topics so that students can make links between their current understanding whilst expanding their new knowledge.
We focus on acquisition of new language that enables our students to write and speak like a scientist and we challenge them to read science specific texts.
Students in Year 6 to 8 will complete 5 periods of science each week and will be taught by a science specialist teacher. Each year they will complete different units of study for biology, chemistry and physics. The lessons are sequenced into a different topic that is designed to give students opportunities to practice recall of science specific vocabulary and facts.
Approach to developing scientist
Our approach to developing scientists begins with engaging students in the process of discovery and experimentations. Scientific understanding evolves throughout their journey at Harrow Shenzhen.
Our curriculum at HIS SZ is based upon a helix of interleaving of new and old knowledge that enable students to build and extend their understanding of big ideas and scientific concepts such as particle theory, energy, and life processes as they progress through the preperation phase and hone their scientific interest.
A secured subject knowledge is a crucial component of the complex process of becoming a scientist, in students questioning, critical thinking, observation, analysis and application in a real world where we live in.

哈罗深圳的课堂不仅仅是单纯讲课或提供内容，老师们非常注重培养学生串联知识的能力，以及掌握探索的方法和过程。
科学需要多才多艺的教师，用鼓舞人心和富有想象力的方法将科学带入生活。我们的老师善于将我们的小小科学家们的潜力发挥到最好，为他们即将在高年级面对的考试内容奠定坚实的基础。
科学知识很重要，但即使具备扎实的理论知识基础，也要以科学的方式进行实验探索。因此，在具备广度和深度的理论知识的基础上，以科学的态度进行实验是成长阶段的重中之重。
我们明确地教授学生关于技能的发展，使他们能够熟练地提出自己的问题，计划不同类型的科学探究，使用各种设备进行测量，记录，操作和解释数据，研究和引用关键思想。
学生需要认识、描述、使用和应用关键的科学思想来解释抽象现象，即使这些现象出现在不熟悉的环境中。在讨论和实验过程中使用正确的科学术语，有助于学生以科学的方式进行实验探索。
老师会在课堂中抓住各样的机会，鼓励学生尝试利用所观察到的现象来解释科学原理。学生从实验所得的数据中得出结论，并以此开展更进一步的推测。
他们知道，科学家们不仅要通过观察和测量来获取证据，还要结合创造性思维，才能既解释现象，也在此基础上提出革新的想法。
Scientific content &
scientific manner
One of the key classroom activities here at Harrow Shenzhen is in students making connections, empowering them with the methodology and procedural development for discovery not just lecturing and giving content.
Science demands versatile teachers with inspirational and imaginative approaches to bring science in to life. Our teachers are skilled in bringing the best out of our young scientists to form the foundation for examinable content in senior years.
Class activities &
learning method
Scientific content is important, but even with highly knowledgeable theoretical understanding students can struggle with working in a scientific manner. Hence, within a diverse and deep framework of content working scientifically is a key focus in the preparation period.
We explicitly teach the development of skills students need to become adept in asking their own questions, planning different types of scientific inquiry, taking measurements with range of equipment, recording, manipulating and interpreting data, researching and referencing key ideas.
Students need to recognize, describe, use and apply key scientific ideas to explain abstract phenomena even when they appear in unfamiliar contexts, discussing and using the vernacular of scientific approach assists students in working scientifically.
Teachers capitalize on chances in any lesson to encourage pupils to reflect, however briefly, on the evidence that supports scientific interpretations. Pupils draw conclusions which match the data they have collected and begin to use this evidence to support further predictions.
They know that scientists have combined evidence from observation and measurement with creative thinking to suggest new ideas and explanations for phenomena.

哈罗深圳中学部祝贺并表彰了10年级的两名优秀学生：Colum 和 Jorrin！他们在第一学期化学实验课上所做的实验——甲烷气泡燃烧反应和呼出瓶放热反应，在中文期刊《化学教育》上发表。祝贺两位同学，非常出色。
Jennifer Pordan
哈罗深圳中学化学主任
最后，化学主任Jennifer Pordan女士想要对学生们说：“化学是一门研究物质及其性质的迷人学科。这是一门既具有挑战性又有回报的学科，它需要大量的努力和付出才能掌握。”
“我认为最能描述化学的三个词是基础的、实用的、具有挑战性的(学科)，对理解我们周围的世界至关重要。我鼓励你们接受学习化学的挑战，努力掌握化学的概念。有了奉献精神和毅力，你可以成为一名熟练的化学家，对世界产生积极的影响。”

Upper School celebrated and acknowledged the outstanding achievements of two of our Year 10 students, Colum and Jorrin who’s work in our Term 1 Chemistry Magic, in Methane Bubbles combustion reaction and Whoosh Bottle exothermic reaction have been published by the Chinese Journal of Chemical Education. A great achievement, well done.
Ms Jennifer Pordan
Head of Chemistry, Harrow Shenzhen
Said by Ms Jennifer Pordan that Chemistry is a fascinating subject that deals with the study of matter and its properties. It is a subject that is both challenging and rewarding, and it requires a lot of hard work and dedication to master.
If you are asking me three words that I believe best describe chemistry, it would be that chemistry is a fundamental, practical, and challenging subject that is essential for understanding the world around us. I encourage you to embrace the challenges of studying chemistry and to work hard to master its concepts. With dedication and perseverance, you can become a skilled chemist and make a positive impact on the world.
