当复活节的彩蛋遇上物理的智慧,一颗脆弱的生鸡蛋,如何从8米高空完成“极限挑战”且毫发无损?今年4月,我校BC课程物理11课的课堂上,外教 Luke 老师带领同学们,以一场别开生面的复活节鸡蛋掉落实验,用创意守护这份春日里的 “脆弱奇迹”。
How can a fragile raw egg, like an Easter egg, survive an extreme challenge from a height of 8 meters without cracking? In April this year, around Easter, in the BC Physics 11 class, Mr. Luke guided the students through a unique Easter Egg Drop experiment. They used creativity to protect this fragile miracle in spring.
打破课本的边界,让物理知识“活”起来。正如Luke老师所说,实验的设计意图,正是让学生们运用所学的牛顿运动定律和力的相关知识,亲手设计并制作一个保护装置,让生鸡蛋从最高8米的高度落下后依然完好无损。
Going beyond textbooks to bring physics knowledge to life: As Mr. Luke put it, the design intention of the experiment was to get students to apply what they had learned about Newton’s Laws of Motion and forces to design and build a protective device, so that a raw egg would remain unbroken when dropped from a height of up to 8 metres.
实验过程中,同学们被限制了材料的种类和数量。为了守护这颗“脆弱的鸡蛋”,同学们各显神通:有人巧用缓冲原理,层层包裹打造“安全堡垒”;有人借助受力分析,设计出轻盈的减速结构。“学生们在解决这个问题时,展现出了极高的创造力和独创性。”Luke老师对同学们的表现给予了高度肯定。
During the experiment, students were restricted in the type and quantity of materials they could use. To protect this “fragile egg”, everyone demonstrated great resourcefulness: some cleverly applied the principle of cushioning, using layers of materials to build a “safety fortress”; others used force analysis to design lightweight, speed-reducing structures. “The students showed a great deal of creativity and ingenuity in solving this problem,” Mr. Luke highly praised the students for their performance.
这场“鸡蛋掉落”实验,更是BC课程项目式学习(PBL)的生动实践。Luke老师强调,这样的实践不仅让同学们巩固了物理理论知识,更让他们获得了用科学知识解决现实问题的动手经验——这正是项目式学习的核心价值,它打破了“知识与生活脱节”的壁垒,让学习从“被动接收”变为“主动探索”。
This Egg Drop experiment is also a vivid example of Project-Based Learning (PBL) in the BC curriculum. Mr. Luke emphasized that such practical activities not only help students consolidate their theoretical knowledge of physics, but also provide them with hands-on experience in using scientific knowledge to solve real-world problems. This is precisely the core value of project-based learning: it breaks down the barrier between knowledge and real life, transforming learning from passive reception into active exploration.
在BC课堂上,物理从来不是冰冷的公式与定理,而是有趣的探索。愿每一位BC学子都能在这样的课堂中,保持探索的热情,带着所学的知识与勇气,去破解更多未知的挑战!
In the BC program, physics is never just cold formulas and theorems, but an exciting journey of exploration. May every BC student keep their passion for discovery, and with knowledge and courage, take on and conquer more unknown challenges!
