Tech-Infused Inquiry : G5 Simple Machines STEM Lab | 五年级简单机械实验室
Grade 5 Simple Machines STEM Lab
Our Grade 5 students have begun their new IB Unit of Inquiry to explore the engineering and physics of simple machines. At ISNS, hands-on investigation is a key component of the learning process. For this experience, our technology integration team collaborated closely with the homerooms to create an immersive, hands-on engineering STEM Lab using the VEX GO robotics system.
First, in order foster maximum collaboration and prepare the students for their upcoming PYPx grade-wide showcase, all three grade 5 classes came together and split into 3 new lab groups. Three separate VEX GO STEM Labs were then developed, each centered around a different simple machine (Incline Plane, Lever, and Wheel and Axle).
On Lab day, excited students got the chance to build their simple machine using VEX GO robotics.
With their partner, they then tested and investigated the key forces and motion concept their machine exhibited. The hands-on, investigative nature of the lab allowed the students to experience the learning as opposed to just or study it. The data collected during the test phase also allows for some fun and impactful data and measurement math lesson extensions, too.
As our students dive into their exploration, they are not only uncovering the intricacies of simple machines but also laying a solid foundation for future technological pursuits. This hands-on approach to learning aligns seamlessly with global initiatives like Hour of Code, which seeks to introduce students to the exciting world of computer programming and coding.

Just as they manipulate physical components in our STEM Lab, our students will be able to navigate the digital landscape, further enriching their educational journey and preparing them for the challenges and opportunities of tomorrow's technology-driven world.
我们的5年级学生已经开始他们新的 IB 探究单元,探索简单机器的工程和物理学。在 ISNS,实践调查是学习过程的关键组成部分。为了获得这种体验,我们的技术集成团队与班主任密切合作,使用VEX GO机器人系统创建了一个身临其境的动手实践工程 STEM(科学、技术、工程和数学) 实验室。
首先,为了促进最大程度的协作并让学生为即将到来的小学毕业展做好准备,三个 5 年级班级聚集在一起并分成3个新的实验室小组。随后开发了三个独立的 VEX GO STEM 实验室,每个实验室都围绕不同的简单机器(斜面、杠杆和轮轴)。
在实验室日,兴奋的学生们使用 VEX GO 机器人技术构建他们的简单机器。
然后,他们与合作伙伴一起测试并研究了机器所展示的关键力和运动概念。实验室的实践和研究性质使学生能够体验学习过程,而不仅仅是记忆。在测试阶段收集的数据还可以提供一些有趣且有影响力的数据和测量数学课程扩展。
当我们的学生深入探索时,他们不仅揭开了简单机器的复杂性,而且为未来的技术追求奠定了坚实的基础。这种动手实践的学习方式与由学生主导的“编程一小时”(Hour of Code)活动无缝契合,编程一小时带领学生进入计算机编程和编码世界。
正如我们的学生在实验室操纵物理组件一样,我们的学生将能够探索数字化景观,进一步深入他们的教育旅程,努力应对未来技术驱动的世界的挑战和机遇。
