万双网讯  为提高孩子们的创新能力和“全学科”理解力，5月7日至19日，生动有趣的STEAM课“古代灌溉工具”在五年级开展，该课程由历史、科学、人工智能三个学科的老师共同交流、探讨，分为多个课时合作完成。

VBS News Net: The STEAM class ' ancient irrigation tools' was delivered to Year 5 classes from May 7 to 19 to improve children's innovation ability. This STEAM class was prepared by teachers from AI, History, and Science after discussions and collaborations.

此次融合课程历时一个多月的筹备，分为三个课时，第一课时由历史老师完成。在历史课上，柴老师梳理了历代的灌溉工具，作为融合课的知识铺垫。按照古代灌溉工具演进的历程，一一梳理了古代的灌溉工具发展演变的情况。通过展示图片，学生认识了戽斗、辘轳、桔槔、机汲等传统灌溉工具。接着出示翻车、筒车等灌溉工具的图片，学生讨论了古代灌溉工具的分类以及这些灌溉工具的进步及局限性。

After a month's preparation, the class was divided into 3 periods. The history teacher took charge of the first period. In history class, Mr. Chai showed students the ancient irrigation tools and their development with pictures. Students learned ancient irrigation tools such as the bucket, windlass, and shaduf and discussed their classification,  pros, and cons.

第二课时，由历史老师柴文俊、科学老师李音、人工智能老师彭平共同授课，先是柴老师带领孩子们复习了水车的发展历程，接着李老师带领孩子们观看视频，通过小组讨论的方式，总结出筒车的结构特点，并从力的角度，让孩子们了解筒车的工作原理。彭老师带领孩子们从3D建模的角度设计筒车，通过筒车倒水的演示，让孩子们观察到要想水倒得多，需综合考虑水筒的大小、角度及转动的速度，接着彭老师给孩子们简单演示了具体的操作方法，让孩子们根据自己设计的支架及轮子，设计合适的水筒及其最佳角度。

In the second period, History teacher Mr. Chai Wenjun, Science teacher Ms. Li Yin, and AI teacher Mr. Peng Ping delivered the class. Firstly, Mr. Chai led the children to review the development of the water wheel. Then the children watched the video and summarized the structural characteristics of the water wheel so that they could understand the working principle of it. Mr. Peng taught the children how to design a 3D scoop waterwheel. The children learned that they needed to consider the water pipe's size, angle, and rotation speed if they want to pour more water. Then Mr. Peng gave the children a simple demonstration and let them design suitable water pipes with the best angle.

第三课时，同学们在人工智能课上完成了筒车设计，各小组分别选出一个作品，进行了3D打印,并完成了组装，成功制作出了水车模型。

In the third period, the students completed the design of the scoop waterwheel in the AI class. Each group selected their best design, printed it on a 3D printer, completed the assembly, and successfully made their water wheel model.

本次融合教学打破了学科界限，为学生提供了具有生活价值的学习，让学生同时学习到了科学、历史、人工智能等学科的基础知识，增进了学生的全局性理解力，培养了学生自主探究能力、动手能力及创造性思维，提升的学生的学习兴趣，为学生更好地站在未来中央奠基。

This interdisciplinary study has allowed students to learn basic knowledge of Science, History, AI, nurtured their ability to see the bigger picture, and inspired their interest in learning, letting our children experience the future.
