Physics Class

Name of Course – Physics

Learning Facilitator: Phearun

Course Description: This course will provide students the introduction to physics, application to the daily life and the element of physics that is the branch of science concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy. The subject matter of physics will be included the earth’s gravity, movement of earth (kinds of rotation), work of force and energy. The students will be able to know about the importances of gravity and some phenomena caused by earth’s movement, value of earth gravity, relevance of gravitational force of earth and things’ weight on the earth; finding its value by using formula and keeping and conversion law of work of energies by  teacher’s demonstration and explanation and plus their more researches. The students will be emerged to establish questions or problems relevant to topic to discuss with one another or conduct  more researches with the unseen problems. The experiment will also be available for the relevant contents. Lastly, students will acquire awareness on what they will have learnt and be able to be aware of significance of physics related to the application to their daily lives and utilize that knowledge and share with other people.

Days of the Week: Mon-Tues

Scratch Class

Name of Course: Scratch

Learning Facilitator: Max

Course Description: Students become familiar with programming through scratch.  While working with scratch students will learn the operators in the looks, motion, sound, pen control and sensing categories. Students learn programing concepts such as loops and repeats. They will then use scratch to tell a story. Additionally the students will integrate the makey makey with scratch to enable physical interaction with the computer.

Days of the Week: Thursday and Friday.

Botany Class

Name of Course – Botany

Learning Facilitator: JoJo

Course Description: The goal of the botany enrichment is to expose students to a specific branch of biology and scientific thinking and increase their knowledge about plants and the critical role they play on Earth.  Ideally the students walk away with a new appreciation and understanding of plants.

The students will become familiar with plant anatomy and the function of different plant parts.  The class is structured around the plant cycle:  We begin by studying dormant seeds and the function of the seed. We then explore the process of germination.  Students then learn about the roots and the stem and their functions. We then study the leaf, with a focus on photosynthesis. Finally students explore the anatomy of the flower and plant reproduction through pollination.

Days of the Week:  Monday, Tuesday

We do the presentation to share with our friends and teachers.

Description:

During the round four exploration we learned about Future Jobs. In Future Jobs we had to develop the presentation questions (ask more questions). We asked more questions because in our Exploration we had a lot of trips that taught us about the jobs in the real life. After that we learned about Nanotechnology, Water crisis and Alternative fuels. Nanotechnology is smaller than atoms. One thing we learned was that it is waterproof and can go underground without breaking. In Water crisis topic we learned that 70% of the Earth is seawater and 30% is land. But just 3% is good water. 884 million people don’t have good water and nearly 1,000,000,000 don’t have water. The last topic was Alternative fuel. We noticed that the gas can live 60 years, oil can live 60 years and coal can live 1000 years. Last we prepared for our job shadow on the next day. Job shadow means to go to the real place of work to do the job with the people that are in the job that helps Cambodia a lot. All of us went to different places with our partner. For example, some of us went to World Vision and some went to Northbridge International School.

Nilroth and I had the job shadow to SGFE.

Biography

Exploration Name: Biography

Exploration Dates: August 12-September 26

Essential Questions:

(1) What is a biography? (2) What events have shaped this person’s life?

Number of Students: 13

Description: The first day that we started to learn our Exploration everyone was very excited. Our Exploration studied with teacher Jo, Sambath and Channa. Our Exploration learned about Biography. Biography is studying about the other person’s life. Biography group worked together and shared ideas that we had. For example: we went on a trip and searched the information in computer. When we interviewed we used the strategy to understand about the other person’s life​​ like listening strategy, asking questions and interviewing. We learned how to interview the people, by writing down the notes, how to be a good photographer and a good questionnaire. When we interviewed the people already we not just write down notes in our book. We also learned to make a documentary in the iMovie program. Some people worked on the information that they got too but they did it in Powerpoint program. The reason we wanted to do like this because in the future if we forget what we have we can look in the documentary of the other people life. The people that we interviewed were:Sophal’s uncle (the older person and now he does not do anything because his leg is hurt), Sophal’s sister-in-law (now she not do anything but she works at her house), Sophal  (works in Liger cleaning the school), Simian (works in Liger cleaning the school) and Houy (also works at cleaning Liger too). We had many different people that we interviewed but we only give example some of the people. We took the trip to go to the pagoda near our school to interview the monks in that pagoda. It was so fun for the Biography group. Our group studied only six weeks. Every day during Exploration time the students worked hard and studied new things a lot. In this Exploration all of the students are not lazy, they are active and helpful. We all were really happy to study about biography and now help us have a knowledge and a lot of the experience that we thought.

Bag Business

Exploration Name: Bag Business

Exploration  Dates: October 7th-November 19th

Number of students: 13

Essential Questions:

Why do we use bags – the purpose of bags?

What is the purpose of creating a prototype?

What processes are needed to create a small profitable business?

Description:

When we started this project we thought about Ready-Set-Go, which is a website that helped us get ideas about starting our business. In Ready we thought about our logo, what business and our goals. Then we divided all the students in our group into three different departments. There were Research + Development, Account + Finance and Sales and Marketing. In R+D they worked on how to make our design unique. In A+C they worked on Project balance sheet. Project balance sheet is the sheet that we just think of but it is not happen yet. But S + M is very important because they need to prepare the attitude and be friendly to the buyers who come. After that we took trips to RUFA, Art Gallery, A.N.D, Royal Boutique, Smateria and Wattan. Wattan is a place which made bags for us to paint. At first we decided to make 52 tote bags but then we wanted another 13 ipad bags. In our last day we all painted the bags already and we opened the shop for the students, staff and visitors to buy bags from our business. On that day we also used a mannequin to make up and put the bags on it’s hand. At that day we sold nearly all the bags. We also had 2 bags to raffle. This was very fun. We had the promotion about the tickets and one ticket for the adult costs 1$ and for the kids costs 2000៛. From that day each of us got $5 from when we sold.

This presentation we made for loan the money from our director Dominicsharp and for VIP visitors that come to visit our school
