In our ‘Class Spotlight’ series, 

come with us as we visit our busy classrooms to discover quality educational experiences! 

在课堂面面观系列中，

跟随我们的走进教室，发掘更多精彩学习故事吧！

STEAM is more a way of learning than just a subject at CIS. Our teachers embed design processes and STEAM methodologies into our rigorous curriculum so that students have the opportunities to turn their ideas into reality and to truly learn by doing. Take a look at our Grade 6s' amazing parachute science challenge! 

在CIS，STEAM不是一门学科，更像是一种学习方式。老师们在教学中将设计思维过程和 STEAM 方法融入日常课程中，让学生有机会将他们的想法变为现实，真正在动手实践中学习知识。来看看六年级的同学们是怎么实践这一理念的吧！

STEAM in Everyday Learning

融入常规课程的STEAM教学方式

As part of the Flight unit in the Grade 6 Alberta curriculum for Science, students are required to conduct tests of a model parachute design and identify design changes to improve the effectiveness of the design. 

作为艾伯塔省六年级科学课程飞行单元的一部分，学生必须设计一个模型降落伞，进行测试，优化设计，并提升设计的有效性。

The Bean Bag Challenge: The Race To Finish Last

豆袋挑战赛：最后一名才是胜利！

After learning about parachutes and their purpose in class, students were presented with a STEAM challenge. They had to design a parachute to slow down a bean bag from falling from a high place. This challenge was set up as a race, but instead of trying to finish first, the goal is to finish last! In other words, the parachute that is able to slow the bean bag down and hit the ground last, is considered the winner. 

During the designing process, students were able to work on their problem-solving skills by making appropriate altercations, modification and adjustments to their design. As well as a lot of observations and experimentation. It was a perfect activity to summarize the topic on parachutes, but most importantly a fun and exciting experience for the students. 

学习了降落伞及其用途后，学生们接受了 STEAM 挑战。他们必须设计一个降落伞来减缓豆袋从高处坠落的速度。我们针对这项挑战设置了一场比赛，但同学们要挑战的不是第一个完成，而是最后一名完成！换句话说，能够使豆袋减速并最后落地的降落伞才是冠军。

在设计过程中，学生讨论、修改和优化他们的设计，在这个过程中进行大量的观察和实验，提高解决问题的能力。这项比赛是降落伞学习单元的完美总结。对同学们来说，最重要的是收获了趣味满满，令人兴奋的学习体验。
