XHA Maker Faire丨国际融合部校园创客作品展

2020-12-19

时间飞速而过，转眼已经来到了12月，国际融合部PYP的同学们都取得了显著进步。第二单元的结束对同学们来说是一个里程碑，在此次“Maker Faire·创意展”中，学生们分享他们的学习成果，并进行展示与陈述，完整地向参观者描述他们的制作过程。

It is already December! The last couple of months have gone by really fast and all the kids in our PYP section are showing outstanding progress in their learning. The end of unit two was a milestone for all our kids which culminated in the first ever school Maker Faire in Anhui province. The students shared their learning with the learning community and explained their final projects. Their presentations involved introducing the ‘maker’ process from beginning to end.

同学们的作品都与他们的班级有关，并且围绕着“探究”这个主题深思熟虑，可不是随意灵机一动的想法哦~

The final products were not just random ideas, but were all connected to their classes individual units of inquiry.

一年级学生学习了有关于家庭的知识，并且深入了解与探究了自己家庭的历史与故事，这一个模块学习结束时，他们还制作了手工皂与家人分享。而Plastimake(一种可以手工塑形的塑料)也成为了学生们爱不释手的玩具。

Grade 1 learned about their families and why it is important to document our family history. At the end of the unit one of their projects was to make soap to share with their family. Plastimake - plastic you can shape with your hands - was used to make objects they connected with their family. For some students, these turned into toys.

二年级和三年级的同学们学习了建筑和气候的关系，以及在不同的气候下如何进行建筑材料的选择。在6周的时间里，学生们发散思维，用不同的材料创造了形态各异的建筑。成果展示阶段，同学们设定了气候条件，并在此条件下充分考虑“与自然和谐”的主题，选择合适的建筑材料，并注重可持续发展原则。

Grade 2 and 3 learned about architecture and how climate affects our choices of building and building materials. Over the course of 6 weeks, students created different kinds of buildings, using different kinds of materials and design ideas. For their final project, students chose a climate and designed buildings that would take into consideration the area it would be built in, being in harmony with nature and using building materials that were sustainable.

四年级和五年级的同学们学习了力和运动，深入探究对于力和运动的理解是如何让发明家产生灵感的，以及这些发明如何影响了我们的生活……学习力和运动，首先得了解一些家喻户晓的发明家，而阿基米德则是大多数学生研究的首位，有了他们新获得的知识，实验就在此基础上开始。一些学生也挑战自己，独立发明了一些简单的机器!

Grade 4 and 5 learned about forces and motion. They looked at how the understanding of forces and motion helps inventors, and also how inventions have influenced our lives…and still continue to do so. An inquiry into inventors gave the students a first idea what forces and motions are. Archimedes was on top of the list of most students research. With their newly won knowledge a lot of experimentation was set into motion. After that some students challenged themselves to invent their own simple machines.

六年级的学生从科学家的角度出发，学习科学家严谨细致的工作态度，以及了解世界的眼光和方法。“养鸡计划”只是学生们展示的众多成果之一，看!他们使用木材和叶片鼓风机，就建成了一个有模有样的悬停板。

Grade 6 students put themselves into the shoes of scientists and focused on how scientists observe, experiment and work methodically in order to understand the world. The continuation of the chicken project was just one of the many undertakings the students put on display. Using wood and a leaf blower - An actual hover board was built!
