On 12th January 2016, my project based learning group (PBL) presented some of the examples that students in government school can do and help to change the community. All of the examples are
Discussion of Problem and Solution
Things that I like the most were culture fading. At the past, during Khmer new year they are playing water and baby powder. The purpose of playing that is to get the happiness. Now during Khmer new year they still playing that, but they play in a bad way like trying to touch other places of the body (cheek, chest, etc). Also now our traditional games don’t have a lot of people playing it. It kinda fading with the elders.
Rube Goldberg
They wanted the government students know how to engineer a new thing and know how to recycle the rubbish that not needed. Rube Goldberg is the one thing that can control other things. Students also can learn about physic and be solving problem.
Science book
Most of the book in Khmer is not about science, so they wanted the kids in high school wright the book about science.
Step how to write the book
pick the topic about science
research the information (asking experts, book, etc)
plant your story
draft your story (does it make sense?)
final draft (give it to the teacher to check)
draw some pictures that make sense with the story
That it!! but it not really easy to do.
History Museum
That is Panharith and I presenting about. We wanted to have a small table in the library that will put the old stuff like, an old map of Cambodia, rock 1000 years old, an old picture of Cambodian famous people, etc. Our purpose is to get the new generation to know some of the histories. If any problem happened students must report to the teacher or the principal.
Community Problems/Solution
This is the last one they found some of the community problems and they try to find the solution to solve it. One of the problems that is my favorite is climate change. Climate change because of the pollution. If the pollution makes the flood, the flood will make the water go into the rice field with the rubbish. It a little bit hard to explain, have a look at the picture.
