建中機研x中山國中 STEM工程教育課程 — Telescope爬升機構之科學探究

Engineering course with Zhongshan Junior High School - Telescope

建中機研校隊將工程教育融入台灣國民中學的理化課程透過探究實作,以觀察與實驗的方式從Telescope模型理解艱澀難懂的物理機械概念。本次活動透過與中山國中徐燕華老師合作,配合力學以及簡單機械的單元,帶動了多達120位學生的學習。

CyberpunK tries to integrate Engineering education into Taiwan's science curriculum in Junior High School. Through Inquiry and Practice, the difficult concepts of physics and mechanics can be learned by observation and experiments through our in-house developed Telescope model. In this program, we corporated with teacher Mrs. Hsu, impacting 120+ students.

別於以往模式,我們自行製作教材提供給授課老師,並參與課程設計,使學習達到最佳成效。此模式的優點是教材不受時間、距離限制,可以依照教師需求改良課程,讓短時間內有更多人受惠。期許未來能夠迸發更多創意,創立更多相關課程,引起學生興趣並在未來投入FTC/FRC

Unlike before, we designed course materials and discuss with the teacher to suit the teacher's needs. The advantage of this method is that it isn't limited by place and time, and easy for teachers to adapt in classes. Through optimization on traditional courses, we hope that more and more creative ideas can pop out. We also introduce FTC/FRC in this course, prompting students to get interested in further robotics learning.

本課程的主題為Telescope」,是從FRC競賽常見伸縮機構發想而來。我們讓學生以競賽的方式,讓學生投入觀察與實驗在Telescope表現的現象,思考物理現象背後的原因。透過學習單上的問題引導,讓學生自主發想並互相分享意見,以及統整力學與簡單機械原理(如:力平衡、彈力位能、簡單機械等),最後推及日常生活中類似機構,像是雲梯車、吊車等等。

Our course topic is "Telescope", inspired by Telescope parts common in FRC. Competition activities (test objectives) are set to let students conduct observation and experiments on the models they made.  A worksheet is given to students to trigger thinking and sharing. Questions from the teacher lead students to understand the theories behind the observed phenomenon (e.g. Force, Elastic Potential Energy, Simple mechanisms...), cultivating students' systematic thinking ability. Fianlly, they examples such as Ladder Trucks and Cranes help them link the concepts together.
