Kid: Do you have a lot of question marks?
What medium can sound travel in best? Have you ever seen DANCING SUGAR?
How to make a hydraulic arm? Try to understand what hydraulics are.
How to use centrifugal force to serve our life?
With these interesting questions, let us walk into APS’s STEM classroom, explore and discover the mysteries of the world around us, and find answers to questions!
Mr. Chad put his speakers into a water tank, a thick cloth bag, and a sealed wooden box. The children were asked to observe and feel the speed of sound in different media. Children use a variety of cognitive models, strategies and methods to improve their cognitive abilities through group discussions. In the final report and exchange, the children felt that their learning tasks were completed wonderfully!
“My mother takes care of me very hard on weekdays. I want to invent a more efficient dryer to help my mother wash clothes!” After learning about centrifugal force, the warm-hearted children eagerly expressed their deep love for their mothers. Love……
In this way, a series of dryers full of love and wisdom came into being…
In the process of making the hydraulic manipulator, the children observed, compared and explored in a timely manner, laying the foundation for the subsequent engineering practice and accumulating sufficient experience. After the task is completed, the children will observe and compare their own and others’ works or achievements again, as well as the observations and comparisons between their own works multiple times, helping them observe phenomena, discover problems, reflect on knowledge, and finally achieve understanding and Developed thinking.
APS’s STEM curriculum design features interdisciplinary, interesting, experiential, contextual, collaborative, design, artistic, empirical, and technological enhancement as its core features, and STEM’s novel learning methods are even more popular with children And benefit from it, allowing them to learn the methods to solve the problem while solving the problem, and obtain the simultaneous improvement of ability and literacy.
Mr. Chad leads the children to relearn and recreate based on the existing STEM education spirit, which also has a great enlightening effect on the construction of the children’s subject knowledge system and thinking development.
Welcome, like you, belong to our STEM!
