How can you not break an egg when it falls from a high place? This kind of experiment which will be conducted only in university can be seen in class of Wuhan Sannew School recently.

　　The interesting curricula similar to this egg-impacting-earth experiment are called STEM. STEM refers to Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. In the United States, STEM is recognized as the education for cultivating the global leaders of tomorrow, which has been started in primary and secondary schools and universities at the same time.

　　It integrates various subjects, including mathematics, science, technology and engineering.

　　STEM curricula in Wuhan Sannew School

　　This egg-impacting-earth experiment implies many achievements.

　　Students can accumulate their innovation abilities through practice.

　　How can you not break an egg when it falls from a high place?

　　On November 12, I, a reporter, was invited to experience STEM curricula of Wuhan Sannew School.

　　When I entered the classroom, I saw that many eggs, balloons, plasticine and plastic bottles, etc. had been placed on the teacher's desk, and Mr. Li told me that all of these materials are bought by students.

　　After the teacher explained the objective and principle of this experiment, students were divided into groups for discussion and then started to make their own protective devices for eggs.

　　After 10 minutes, a Grade 11 student, Xiao Zhu and another 3 students threw an egg properly wrapped from the corridor of 4th floor and the egg was undamaged. Xiao Zhu said, “We failed several times, because the egg was not fixed properly inside, but this time, we make it. The outer balloon as a buffer is broken, but fortunately, the internal structure is good.”

　　Mr. Li said, "Practice cannot only make students study knowledge points better, but also make them understand that no experiment will be successful once. They might fail many times, but this is a kind of setback education."
This egg-impacting-earth experiment seems to be simple, but actually, it contains different achievements.

　　Mr. Li said, "When an egg falls from a height of 4m, its falling speed will be equivalent to 37km/h of a vehicle. If your device can protect the egg from being broken, the principle of this device can also be applied to the driving of vehicle to protect the security of people."

　　Currently, this school arranges three classes every week to offer STEM to all students.

　　Besides, this school has set up a lot of STEM function classrooms for exploration and practice of students, e.g. 3D printing, robot and VR.

　　Yoga and golf curricula

　　These curricula are nervous but interesting.

　　Is it easy to study in the international school?

　　No, it isn't.

　　A Grade 11 student of this school, Xiao Yang, has selected plenty of curricula, including yoga, aerobics exercise, golf, calculus and physics, etc. Her daily schedule is arranged below: the first curriculum starts at 8:00 a.m. and the last curriculum ends at 3:30 p.m. Next, she continues to take part in the Q&A course for 30 minutes and club activities for 1 hour, and the duration of self-study at night lasts from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. "The curriculum arrangement is tight somewhat and it is not easy as people think, but all of us are enthusiastic about these curricula because we choose those curricula which we are interested in."

　　VR and etiquette, etc. are added in the open classes for free.

　　It will be started again on the 27th day of this month.

　　It is reported that the free Sannew open classes, which are highly praised by the public, will be started again on the 27th day of this month; in addition to 3D printing, pottery, chemistry, American spoken English curricula offered previously, the cutting-edge Virtual Reality (VR) technology, western etiquette, badminton and soccer curricula, etc. will be added.
