Yini i-STEM?
I-STEM yindlela yokufunda nentuthuko ehlanganisa izindawo zesayensi, ubuchwepheshe, ubunjiniyela kanye nezibalo.
Nge-STEM, abafundi bathuthukisa amakhono abalulekile afaka:
● ukuxazulula izinkinga
● ubuhlakani
● ukuhlaziya okubalulekile
● ukusebenzisana
● ukucabanga okuzimele
● isinyathelo
● ukuxhumana
● ulwazi lwedijithali.
Lapha sinendatshana evela kuNkz Rachel Fees:
Ngithanda iphazili enhle. Ziyindlela enhle yokubulala isikhathi, ikakhulukazi ngenkathi uhlala ekhaya! Kodwa futhi engikuthandayo ngamaphazili ukuthi ayinselele kangakanani kanye nokujima akunika ingqondo yami. Ukwenza izindida kwakha amakhono amahle, njengokucabanga kwendawo (ingabe uke wazama ukuzungezisa ucezu izikhathi eziyikhulu ukuze ulwenze lulingane?) nokulandelanisa (uma ngibeka lokhu lapha, yini elandelayo?). Eqinisweni, izindida eziningi zibandakanya i-geometry, logic, nezibalo zezibalo, okuzenza zibe imisebenzi ye-STEM ephelele. Zama lezi zindida ezinhlanu ze-STEM ekhaya noma ekilasini!
1. Umbhoshongo waseHanoi
I-Tower of Hanoi iyindida yezibalo ehlanganisa amadiski anyakazayo ukusuka kwesinye isikhonkwane ukuya kwesinye ukuze udale kabusha isitaki sokuqala. Idiski ngayinye inosayizi ohlukile futhi uwahlela abe isitaki ukusuka kwenkulu ukuya phansi ukuya kwencane kakhulu phezulu. Imithetho ilula:
1.Hambisa idiski eyodwa kuphela ngesikhathi.
2.Awusoze wabeka idiski enkulu phezu kwediski encane.
3.Ukunyakaza ngakunye kubandakanya ukususa idiski esikhonkwaneni uye kwelinye.
Lo mdlalo uhilela izibalo eziningi eziyinkimbinkimbi ngendlela elula ngempela. Inombolo encane yokunyakaza (m) ingaxazululwa ngesibalo esilula sezibalo: m = 2n– 1. I-n kule zibalo yinombolo yamadiski.
Isibonelo, uma unombhoshongo onama-disc angu-3, inani elincane lokunyakaza ukuxazulula le puzzle 2.3- 1 = 8 - 1 = 7.
Yenza abafundi abale inombolo encane yokunyakaza ngokusekelwe enanini lamadiski futhi baphonsele inselelo yokuxazulula iphazili kulokho kunyakaza okumbalwa. Kuba nzima kakhulu ngamadiski owengezayo!
Awunayo le ndida ekhaya? Ungakhathazeki! Ungadlala ku-inthanethilapha. Futhi uma ubuyela esikoleni, hlola lokhuinguqulo yokuphila-sizedekilasini eligcina izingane zisebenza ngenkathi zixazulula izinkinga zezibalo!
2. AmaTangram
Ama-Tangram ayindida yakudala ehlanganisa izimo eziyisicaba eziyisikhombisa ezingahlanganiswa ukuze zakhe izimo ezinkulu, eziyinkimbinkimbi. Umgomo uwukwenza umumo omusha usebenzisa zonke izinhlobo eziyisikhombisa ezincane, ezingakwazi ukudlulana. Le puzzle isineminyaka engamakhulu eminyaka ikhona, futhi ngesizathu esihle! Kuyasiza ukufundisa ukucabanga kwendawo, i-geometry, ukulandelana, kanye nengqondo - wonke amakhono amahle we-STEM.
Ukwenza le puzzle ekhaya, sika amajamo usebenzisa ithempulethi enamathiselwe. Inselele abafundi kuqala ukuze bakhe isikwele besebenzisa zonke izimo eziyisikhombisa. Uma sebekwazi kahle lokhu, zama ukwenza ezinye izimo ezifana nempungushe noma isikebhe sikaseyili. Khumbula ukusebenzisa zonke izingcezu eziyisikhombisa futhi ungalokothi uzidlulele!
3. I-Pi Puzzle
Wonke umuntu uyayithanda i-pi, futhi angikhulumi nje nge-dessert! I-Pi iyinombolo eyisisekelo esetshenziswa ezinhlelweni zezibalo eziningi nasezindaweni ze-STEM ukusuka ku-physics kuye kubunjiniyela. Iumlando we-pikuyathakazelisa, futhi izingane zihlangana nale nombolo yomlingo kusenesikhathi ngemigubho ye-Pi Day esikoleni. Pho kungani ungalethi leyo mikhosi ekhaya? Le iphazili ye-pi ifana nama-tangrams, ngokuthi unenqwaba yezimo ezincane ezihlanganayo ukwenza enye into. Phrinta le puzzle, usike amajamo, bese ucela abafundi ukuthi baphinde bawahlanganise ukuze benze uphawu luka-pi.
4. Rebus Puzzles
Izindida ze-Rebus ziyizindida zamagama ezinemifanekiso ezihlanganisa izithombe noma ukubekwa kwezinhlamvu ezithile ukuze zimelele umusho ovamile. Lezi zindida ziyindlela enhle yokuhlanganisa ulwazi lokufunda nokubhala lube yimisebenzi ye-STEM. Ukwengeza, abafundi bangafanekisa eyabo iphazili ye-Rebus okwenza lokhu kube umsebenzi omuhle kakhulu we-STEAM! Nazi ezinye ze-Rebus puzzle ongazizama ekhaya:
Izixazululo kusuka kwesobunxele kuye kwesokudla: imfihlo ephezulu, ngiyaqonda, kanye nokudla okuyisikwele. Inselelo kubafundi bakho ukuthi baxazulule lezi bese bezenzela ezabo!
Yiziphi ezinye izindida noma imidlalo oyidlalayo ekhaya?Layisha imibono yakho ukuze wabelane nothisha nabazali ku-STEM Universelapha.
