商品描述

Tinkering is a way of learning through hands-on activity -- experimenting with materials and devices to see how they work, taking things apart, making small changes and improvements, exploring and inventing. Tinkering may seem like a form of play -- and it is -- but it is also a powerful way of discovering truths about science, engineering, and math. With this book, Curt Gabrielson follows up on his best-seller Tinkering: Kids Learn by Making Stuff with this all-new volume that features more than three dozen fun and educational tinkering projects based on his years of working with kids in the tropical island nation of Timor-Leste. Step-by-step instructions accompanied by full-color photos take you through a range of enjoyable projects that explore life sciences, physics, chemistry, earth sciences, and mathematics. You'll discover how math is used to make baskets, how fungi create fermentation, how electricity can make a magnet, how the greenhouse effect creates warming, and much more. The author also enlivens his latest batch of tinkering projects with colorful tales of his experiences in the tropic and the lives of the people he' s met there.

Inside you'll find:

  • Clear directions for making simple projects and doing activities that teach science, mathematics and engineering
  • Projects rooted in day to day life and experience in a small, developing nation in the Asian tropics
  • Full-color photographs throughout
  • Explicit connections to standard STEAM concepts, K-12
  • Activities doable with less than $5 worth of common materials

    This book is perfect for parents, teachers, and students with an interest in hands-on, tinkering-based science and mathematics education, whether in traditional schools or in home-schooling situations. It will also be of interest to anyone who wants to learn more about developing nations, the culture and unique history of Timor-Leste, tropical nations or Asian cultures, with specific links to Indonesia, Portugal, or Australia.

    動手實作是一種透過實際活動學習的方式——透過實驗材料和裝置來了解它們的運作,拆解物品,進行小的改變和改進,探索和發明。動手實作看似一種遊戲形式——確實如此——但它也是發現科學、工程和數學真理的強大方式。在這本書中,Curt Gabrielson 繼續他暢銷書《動手實作:孩子們透過製作學習》的主題,推出這本全新的書籍,包含超過三十個有趣且具教育意義的動手實作專案,這些專案基於他多年在熱帶島國東帝汶與孩子們合作的經驗。逐步的指導搭配全彩照片,帶領你完成一系列有趣的專案,探索生命科學、物理、化學、地球科學和數學。你將發現數學如何用來製作籃子,真菌如何產生發酵,電力如何產生磁鐵,溫室效應如何造成暖化,還有更多內容。作者還用他在熱帶的經歷和他所遇到的人的生活故事,為他最新的動手實作專案增添色彩。

    書中你會發現:

    - 清晰的指導,讓你製作簡單的專案和進行教學科學、數學和工程的活動
    - 根植於日常生活和在亞洲熱帶小型發展中國家的經驗的專案
    - 全彩照片貫穿全書
    - 明確連結到標準的 STEAM 概念,K-12
    - 使用價值低於 5 美元的常見材料即可完成的活動

    這本書非常適合對動手實作、基於實作的科學和數學教育感興趣的家長、教師和學生,無論是在傳統學校還是在家庭教育情境中。它也將吸引任何想要了解更多關於發展中國家、東帝汶的文化和獨特歷史、熱帶國家或亞洲文化的人,並與印尼、葡萄牙或澳大利亞有特定的聯繫。
