Nature Notes with Technical Support —— How to Make Nature Notes
Third, how to take natural notes
? The Origin of Nature Note: This is one of the oldest ways to reflect nature. Historically, our ancestors recorded the hunting battles, the changes of time and the success of exploration. People record them on walls, carve them on sticks, or roll parchment. Like Columbus' diary.
? Four key words for taking nature notes: tools, cooperation, theme and scene. In addition to traditional hand-painting, there are photos, voice descriptions and IPAD paintings. Cooperation has two meanings: one is interdisciplinary learning, and the other is the collision between students and teachers. The learning scene can go out of the classroom and see the world. Learning style is a project-based theme. Teacher Wang cited several cases.
? Case 1: Originated from the theme of the textbook (subject matter is not limited)-the growth story of silkworm baby is completed by three teachers, namely, art, science and information technology. Art (based on painting), science (supported by experiments) and information technology are used to explore problems (teaching mode). The main steps are: learning situation analysis-curriculum process-learning plan design-theme writing-sharing display-curriculum evaluation-student reflection-teacher reflection.
Case 2: Originated from the theme of life (materials around us)-"a wall that will bloom", art (the color of the wall), science (building materials), social practice (visiting a brick factory) and problem inquiry (teaching mode).
? Nature notes have a variety of themes and expressions, which is a sustainable curriculum design. "The deeper you know, the stronger your love will be." When you understand the fragility of alpine meadow plants, you naturally won't dig a hole at the top of the mountain to collect soil, camp, litter or even pick wild flowers at will. When you know where you live, you will realize its beauty and fall in love with it. Only love won't hurt you.
? After listening to this lesson, I have a clear understanding of nature notes. Natural notes are similar to diaries. They use pictures, words, videos and other forms to record various phenomena in nature around me. It is a comprehensive practical activity of multidisciplinary integration, but it is not a simple observation record, and it needs to add its own thinking and discovery. Nature notes can stimulate students' interest in exploring nature, and cultivate scientific attitudes and spirits such as careful observation, rigor and seriousness from an early age, which is helpful to cultivate students' observation ability, thinking ability and innovation ability. In teaching, we should stimulate students' interest in learning, guide them to observe and understand nature, write and draw what they see, learn to take notes on nature, learn to find, think and solve problems, and comprehensively improve students' comprehensive ability and scientific literacy.
