Physic

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.

Dates: October 20-January 16

Days we Meet: Thursday-Friday

Course Description:In our Advanced Enrichment we learned about botany. Botany means learning about plants. Plants are the only organisms that can make their own food and that’s called sugar or glucose. Plants make their own food is called photosynthesis. Photosynthesis means plants take sunlight to make their own food. Plants make photosynthesis on the leaves. The organ in leaves works to make the food. In leaves have chloroplast and in chloroplast have chlorophyll. Plants take the carbon dioxide and lay out oxygen. During the day, they do photosynthesis. Plants have physical features. There are: roots, stem, leaves, fruits and flowers. In the stem there are two tubes. First tube is for sucking the food or it’s called nutrients and the second tube is for sucking the water. In our class we had the activity is growing the plants. Our resources were paper, plastic bag, water and seed. First we needed to​​ soak paper with water but not very wet and put the seed in it. Rub it not too tight and put in plastic bag. The plastic bag needed to be open for oxygen get in it and put at the place that have a sunlight. We need to put the water, unless the paper is dry. When the seed germinates like come out the stem, leaves, we take out from the paper and put in the soil.

Description:

In our Life On Border group we learned a lot of  things about border. Students know how to run the Exploration very well. Students know the goal to run their project. The first step that we can run our project is we learn about our goal. Our goal is Project Summary, Project Outcome, Project Mentors, Field Experiences, 21st Century Learning Skills and Core Curriculum Areas. After we learned about our goal we planned and thought. The situation of the people that live along the border is normal. Some people don’t have money so they don’t have work. Some people go to find work at Thailand so when the people go already some of the people can’t come back. People’s health is not so good at the border because they don’t have money to buy their food. They move to the border because if the people have the money they come to border to sell something because the border have a lot of people came from Russia to the Cambodia. So that why people want to make their business there. The advantage to live there is there are not a lot of bad people at there so it safe for people. The disadvantage to live there is if people don’t have money and they don’t have work they will not be safe for their life. We went to the border to learn and we saw some people have a work and some people don’t have work. Some people have a work but it like cart worker it is not easy to get the money. We interview the cart worker and the sellers. We went to casino to visit, but we didn’t get a chance to go in.

Leadership Description

Leadership is the group that want to make a different in Cambodia. We talking about how to be safe from electricity. My group were making the book how to be safe from electricity. After the book finished. Our exploration group went to Karona Kuma school at Takeo province. We also making the socket protector by 3D printing. We have been to Kampot to teach the Kep Garden school.
