此次我想與大家分享的動手操作篇是製作可食用的 Big Green Monster 棒棒糖,觀察微波加熱的棉花糖如何物理變化,以及漂浮變形蟲。


製作的過程裡,學生可以學習到如何形容物體,如:This is my big purple monster with two big brown eyes. / My monster has two big brown eyes.;進階班的學生可做比較級/最高級以及所有格代名詞練習,如:”My monster is bigger than yours. Sidney’s monster is the biggest of all.”;同時,也可以觀察棉花糖加熱後的變化 “The microwave makes the water molecules vibrate very quickly—which makes the water heat up. The hot water warms the sugar, which softens a little. The hot water also warms the air bubbles.” 並結合關係子句的練習,如:The marshmallow is soft. But the marshmallow which had been heated in the microwave became gooey.
At first, it expands, because it is full of air, and the air expands But it is porous, so the air eventually escapes, and then the marshmallow just melts and gets all gooey because sugar has a very low melting point. Also, marshmallows have gelatin, which also melts easily.

萬聖節除了介紹怪物之外,最刺激的部分莫過於凡是可怕的東西都會在這一天出現吧!我的小孩曾在小學課堂裡操作過一項實驗,就是將白板筆書寫在奈米磁磚上,輕輕地滑入水中,磁磚上的文字就能飄浮在水裡! 運用白板筆成分樹脂將墨水凝固形成黏膜,漂浮至水的表面。

在鏡面上畫出不同型態超出想像的蟲,小心輕滑入水中,看看自己繪製的蟲會變成什麼樣子呢?看著水裡漂浮的蟲,學生們可練習 “Look at my wriggly amoeba/ worm. Look at my slimy and wriggly worm. / Look at my long greenish worm.”
想要來點酷一點的萬聖節嗎?我們也可以將手伸入水中將漂浮蚯蚓轉印在手背上做為自製紋身貼紙。Let’s have tattoo fun. Look at the worm on my hand!
今年萬聖節不妨來試試吧!
