STEM vs. STEAM

STEM is short for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. The term was coined by Judith Ramaley while a director at National Science Foundation in 2001. Since then, STEM-focused education has been extended to many countries beyond the United States. However, education is a constantly evolving game. 【小题1】 One of the latest philosophies gaining steam is adding an arts component to the STEM educational focus, thus, creating the STEM vs. STEAM debate.

The believers in STEM education want the focus to remain on the core STEM principles. 【小题2】 Tasks involving product design encourage students to draw and create. Adding arts will take away from the original intention of focusing on the STEM disciplines.

【小题3】 They argue that adding arts to STEM is a way to develop strong STEM students who think creatively. Several studies have shown that engaging students’ arts strength increases their motivation when it comes to STEM activities. 【小题4】 Furthermore, for kids who might be turned off from STEM subjects due to a dislike of numbers, highlighting the artistic component of lessons can reach out and draw them in.

While they seem to be opposed, both sides of this argument may have the right idea. 【小题5】 Consider the growing field of computer animation, where you must have both artistic abilities and strong technology fields. Also, the most basic of all children’s toys, wooden blocks, are an incredible example of STEAM exploration. They bring design, geometry, and engineering concepts to our youngest learners, setting them up for a lifetime of creative thinking.

A.The STEAMers disagree.
B.Actually, science and arts are inseparable.
C.It consistently introduces new theories and practices.
D.Their idea is that there are already enough arts in their approach.
E.Thus, good teachers are always learning to keep pace with updated knowledge.
F.It also improves the probability of success in complicated tasks and challenges.
G.They believe adding art makes the STEM courses accessible to more students.

Tell yourself, “As soon as I get going, I’ll feel more motivated.”

【小题3】You have the choice to replace negative self-talk with a more encouraging and friendly voice.

Think about how far you have come. You have made so much progress, you just don’t realize it. Open your eyes and give yourself credit for all that you have done. Think about it. Write down your past successes..【小题4】You’ll probably be pleasantly surprised when you review your results. Accept failure as a positive learning experience and judge unsuccessful work and mistakes as part of the growth process. When times get tough, take a deep breath, and know that most great things come when you least expect it. Being defeated is a temporary (暂时的) condition; giving up is what makes it permanent (永久的).【小题5】Push through!

What is luck?

【小题2】 First, we often use the term luck as synonymous with “chance”; we may call it lucky to win at a slot machine(老虎机), although it’s actually a random event. Another way to frame luck is as a supernatural force that exists in the universe. Third, it can be thought of as a personal feature: It’s just something that you’re born with.

On the other hand, considering yourself lucky or unlucky is a way of seeing yourself which then has impact on how you behave and how you think and becomes a self-fulfilling prediction. 【小题3】 And it has “existed” for ages, even with our amount of science and technology, it’s something deep within us that realizes our lives are ruled by chance, and we’re trying to do something to get control over that. When people feel less in control of their lives, then people often search for supernatural explanations.

How to think about luck?

The first thing to understand is that a person’s position in society contributes to their concept of luck. For example, The circumstances you’re born into, the society you’re born into, the genetic makeup you’re handed. 【小题4】 Aside from these limits, however, there are steps you can take to improve your luck.

After studying people who consider themselves lucky or unlucky, experts have found that the “lucky” ones maximize chance opportunities and dare to follow their intuition to grasp those moments. If you are relaxed and happy, your world view becomes bigger and you see more opportunities. 【小题5】

A.People define luck in three ways.
B.So, in a sense, it absolutely does exist.
C.Could you just be an unlucky person?
D.Are you the luckiest person in the world?
E.All these things are outside of your control.

Your children are watching you. 【小题1】 According to the Health Program, developing healthy habits is an important part for your children. And when it comes to developing healthy habits, parents influence their children more than anyone else.

【小题2】 What happens during those early years can influence children for the rest of their lives. Children watch what others do carefully and imitate the behaviors of those closest to them. Most of the time, “closest” means their parents and the advice “do as I say, not as I do” from parents is not good for children. As parents, you should do the following:

【小题3】 If you do that, your children are more likely to be enthusiastic about developing theirs.

Let your children see you taking care of your own physical health by eating fruits and vegetables, and exercising on a regular basis. Talk to them about healthy habits in age-appropriate terms and at a proper time. 【小题4】 When it comes to encouraging physical activities, show them that running, jumping, walking and swimming can be fun for grown-ups too.

【小题5】 Computers, televisions and other forms of technology are a major part of life in the 21st century.
