G4 專題
G4:細心觀察者
G4(約 9 至 10 歲)從一個簡單的習慣開始:在下判斷之前,先仔細觀察。孩子放慢腳步,留意別人可能忽略的細節,並把觀察到的內容化為別人也能理解的說明。PPL 學習路徑中之後的每個年級,都以這個基礎為起點。

G4 學習實驗室
G4:三十六週實驗室,每週六天加收尾反思
在九個每週學習實驗室中,孩子練習帶著目的觀察、分辨觀察與假設,並在閱讀、數學、科學與設計任務中運用證據。學期最後以一場簡單的成果展作結,展示他們觀察到、做出來與學到的內容。
G4 正在接受學術審查。引擎架構已加強,第一週是基準重建。在內容、鷹架、作答深度與學習平台呈現完成檢查前,不會開放任何孩子使用的 G4 學習實驗室。
規劃中的 36 週學習路徑
這裡顯示預定的學年方向。每個學習實驗室只有在六天設計與必做反思通過學術審查後才會重新推出。
