我的科学课
我是一个中学生。在学校，我最喜欢的课是科学课。每个星期二和星期四，我们都有科学课。
我们的科学老师姓李。李老师很有意思，他教我们很多东西。上个星期，我们学习了水。水可以变成冰，也可以变成气。我觉得这很神奇！
今天，我们做了一个小实验。我们把不同的东西放进水里，看它们会不会沉下去。我用了一个苹果和一块石头。苹果没有沉下去，可是石头沉下去了。为什么？因为石头比苹果重。
我很喜欢科学课，因为我可以知道为什么天是蓝的，为什么鸟会飞。科学让我明白这个世界！
My Science Class
I am a middle school student. At school, my favorite class is science class. Every Tuesday and Thursday, we have science class.
Our science teacher’s surname is Li. Teacher Li is very interesting, and he teaches us many things. Last week, we learned about water. Water can become ice, and it can also become gas. I think this is very magical!
Today, we did a small experiment. We put different things into water to see if they would sink. I used an apple and a rock. The apple did not sink, but the rock sank. Why? Because the rock is heavier than the apple.
I really like science class because I can learn why the sky is blue and why birds can fly. Science helps me understand this world!
