China has a very long history. It has many great traditional skills that have a wide influence (影响). Here we mainly talk about kites.
The earliest mention of a kite in ancient China dates back to the 5th century BC. It was made of wood and used as a rescue signal (求救信号).
At the time between 770 and 221 BC, Chinese kites were actually called "muyuan". They were first invented in Shandong Province for military purposes (军事目的). The kites were used to send important messages during the Chu-Han War. During the Tang Dynasty, kites were made of lighter materials, such as bamboo, silk and paper. At that time, people began to fly kites for other purposes. It was believed that letting go of the kite could remove bad luck and illness.
Today, kite-flying is an interesting and healthy activity in China. There are large kite-flying festivals held throughout the country, and kite makers can show off their skills during the festivals.
DO IT YOURSELF SCIENCESCIENCE IIUSTRATHD Build a mini solar desalination plant. It's a beautiful day, so, let's get outside and do some science. Here's an amazing experiment (实验) that uses solar energy. You will need: ◎A large bowl ◎A tall glass ◎Some salt ◎A stone ◎Some plastic wrap (包装膜) Steps: ◎Put the water into the large bowl. Put the salt in the water. ◎Put the glass in the middle of the bowl. The top of the glass must be above the water. ◎Put the plastic wrap over the bowl and the glass. Put a stone on top of the plastic wrap. ◎Put the bowl outside in the sun. What will happen? The water will get hot and then become gas. The salt will stay in the bowl, and the gas will rise and hit the plastic wrap. Then it will become water again and fall into the glass. If you take the plastic wrap off the bowl, you'll see water in the glass. If you taste the water, you'll find that there isn't any salt in it. |

Project- based learning (项目化学习) is learning while doing. It gives learners the chance to get a deeper understanding of a topic. During the learning, learners solve problems by using real- world examples and challenges. Project- based learning is becoming widely used in schools. Students work on a project over a period of time— from a week to a term. At the end of the project, they show their knowledge and skills by creating a product for people. Let's take the example of Sandra.
Sandra is an eleven- year- old student in Sunshine Primary School. She wanted to know more about Greek mythology (希腊神话). Well, how did she make it?

From the example of Sandra, we can see that project- based learning allows a student to learn about a topic and then create a project based on his or her talents and skills. Not everyone is a great test taker, but everyone is good at something. Through project work, students can not only learn deeply about a topic, but also have fun learning. So if you' re interested in something, why not start with project- based learning?
