        本周中国文化课,我们对中国文化起源单元进行了深入的探究和全面的复习,理解文化对人类社会生活的非凡意义和重要作用,并通过测验来评价和反馈学生的学习情况,然后进一步解疑答惑,查漏补缺。接下来我们将学习中国古代的学术思想,如儒家文化等。 This week, we conducted in-depth exploration and comprehensive review of the "Origin of Chinese Culture" unit, understanding the extraordinary significance and important role of culture in human social life, and through the test to evaluate and feedback the students' learning situation, and then further answer questions, to find out what is missing.Next, we will study ancient Chinese academic ideas, such as Confucian culture.

      中国文学课,我们继续研读《茶馆》,分析其空间设定,理解茶馆就是一个浓缩的小社会。同时,理清故事时间线,从戊戌变法失败到抗日战争胜利,这50多年间不同的历史背景和所反映的社会现实。并结合其他文学作品,如《解忧杂货店》《西游记》等,去学习并理解时间因素和空间因素在文学作品表达中的作用和价值。In Chinese literature class, we continue to study teahouse, analyze its space setting, and understand that "teahouse is a concentrated small society". At the same time, clarify the story timeline, from the failure of the reform movement of 1898 to the victory of the war of resistance against Japan, which has different historical backgrounds and reflected the social reality for more than 50 years. Combined with other literary works, such as Worry free grocery store and Journey to the west, we can learn and understand the role and value of time and space in the expression of literary works.

Circular motion圆周运动

Essential idea: 基本思想:

  A force applied perpendicular to a bodys displacement can result in its circular motion.  垂直于物体位移施加的力可以导致物体的圆周运动。

Nature of science: 科学性质:

  Observable universe: Observations and subsequent deductions led to the realization that the force must act radially inwards in all cases of circular motion.

可观测的宇宙:通过观察和随后的推论,人们认识到,在所有圆周运动的情况下,力都必须径向向内作用

Students got the following thigs  to understanding: 学生们了解了以下内容:

Period, frequency, angular displacement and angular velocity 周期、频率、角位移和角速度

Centripetal force 向心力
