​Tsing University STEAM Science Class

Starting from problem awareness, guide children to perceive scientific situations in life, stimulate children's learning motivation, focus on core issues at this stage, and establish the direction of experimental thinking.

​

-Old experiences and new discoveries:

The old experience is connected from the experience of taking the train to the concept of "the train must walk on the rails". The new discovery is that the railway is broken! And it broke on a very high arch bridge!

-Think about the problem:

What kind of train can safely pass through the ground fissure?

After establishing the core problem, lead the children to define the goal of the problem, clarify the concepts related to the experimental design, and further formulate solutions to connect knowledge and practice.

​

-Project purpose:
Determine the production purpose of the train project

-Function clarification:

Think about what function the train needs to pass the broken bridge?

-Design idea and production

Reconfirm whether the project can achieve the goal of solving the problem. Through the production of design drawings, confirm the model target, model function and other items, start to prepare the materials for model design, and make the basic model for project design at this stage.

​

- Confirmation of function and purpose link:

Can the project achieve its goals and solve the problem of ground fissure?

-Confirm the materials and prepare to make the physical model

- Troubleshooting

​- Output of final model

Under the guidance of teachers and the sharing and exchange of projects between students, focusing on the conceptual issues of this course, students can escape from the experimental framework, return to knowledge concepts, and use concepts as a cross-field transfer to achieve a literacy-oriented cross-field function. Target.

​

-Experience Sharing:

What is your contribution in this task? How to overcome the problems encountered? Satisfied and dissatisfied parts?

- Concept extension:

Does this train have any other application scenarios besides passing through the ground? Was there a key element found to pass through the fissure?
