Hands-On Experience in the Ancient Practice of Sericulture
蠶蜂昆蟲教育園區學習之旅
It was a crisp December morning when the sixth grade of Wagor Bilingual Elementary School embarked on a journey to Miaoli’s Educational Park for Seri-Apiculture and Entomology. The students had been reading about the history of silk-making and the historical Silk Road, so they were excited to get a hands-on experience in the ancient practice of sericulture.
At the educational park, the students learned a lot about the process of raising silk worms and making silk, along with information about bees, insects, agriculture and the dangers of pesticides. The highlight of the trip was being able to feed and hold some real live Bombyx mori silkworms. The wriggly critters put a smile on most students faces, though a few screams and “yucks” were also elicited.
With many thanks and more smiles, the students said goodbye to the excellent staff in Miaoli. They were even able to take some silkworms back to school with them, along with their special food of the leaves of the white mulberry tree. It was a day of hands-on learning the sixth grade will not soon forget. The silkworms they brought back are busy munching away even now as a reminder of their trip.

12月的一個清晨，葳格小學六年級學生們帶著期待的心情前往苗栗台灣蠶蜂昆蟲教育園區做戶外教學。這學期學生們閱讀了有關蠶絲製作及絲路的相關文章與歷史，因此大家都很期待能夠親身體驗這古老桑蠶的實際養殖過程。
在教育園區裡，學生們學習了很多關於養蠶及製絲過程的知識。除此之外還認識了蜜蜂與昆蟲、農業與農藥的危害，更了解了什麼是生物防治法。這次戶外教學讓孩子們最興奮的是能夠親身體驗餵養蠶寶寶並把牠門放在手心上，儘管引起了不小的尖叫及騷動，這些蠕動的小動物還是讓大多數學生的臉上展現驚奇的笑容。
此次的戶外教學在學生們帶著滿滿的感謝和笑容向園區的員工們道別後結束了。學生們甚至還帶了一些蠶寶寶及桑樹的葉子回學校，現在蠶寶寶們每天能努力地吃桑葉長大，學生們也持續的觀察著牠們。在蠶寶寶的陪伴下，六年級的學生們將不會忘記這一次親身體驗的學習之旅。
