Over the many years of teaching science and being an educator, I have come to the realization that students learn best through integrating different areas of science – Primarily, Physics, Data Analysis, Experimentation, Simulation, Technology, and a hint of Mathematics, etc. This leads to the students being able to explore the connections among the aforementioned branches of science and other fields.
The idea is to use at least one aspect/tool from each of the above areas to help students do an activity, project, or research. I take full advantage of the interdisciplinary approach to make my students better at being problem-solving, teamwork, and to prepare them for life after San New.
经过多年的科学教学和教育生涯，我发现学生通过整合不同科学领域（如物理、数据分析、实验、模拟、技术和数学等）的知识，可以探索科学领域和其他学科领域之间的联系，从而帮助他们更好的学习。
该想法的落实，就是使用以上领域中的至少一个方面或工具，来帮助学生开展项目或研究。在教学过程中，我充分利用跨学科教学方法，使我的学生更擅长解决问题、团队合作，并为他们在三牛之后的学习生活做准备。
A capacitor is an electronic component that takes advantage of separating charges to store energy as electric fields between its plates. Because Capacitors can quickly charge/discharge, they are used in Defibrillators. Defibrillators are medical devices used to treat life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias.
电容器是一种电子组件，它利用分离电荷的方式，将能量存储在两个极板之间的电场之中。电容器可以快速充电/放电的特性，使得它可以在除颤器中使用，除颤器是一种医疗设备，主要用于治疗致命的心律不齐。

The activity was about analyzing different aspects of a capacitor and how they relate to each other.
I admire activities where students get to work with each other to maximize creativity, trust and enthusiasm.
该活动旨在分析电容器的不同方面以及它们之间的相互关系。
我希望学生通过活动中的合作，以最大程度发挥创造力，信任和热情。
③ Interdisciplinary Approach
跨学科教学方法
Alright, back to the interdisciplinary approach and how I use it within projects and activities.
As mentioned before, the activity was an extension of what my students covered in Physics: Capacitors and its Applications.
It was designed to explore how certain qualities of a Capacitor are related to its physical structure. Students used a variety of tools from different disciplines during this activity.
The students had to use a simulation to complete this activity. The simulation was based on knowledge extensively covered in class. Such simulations provide an important method for analysis because they make experimentation possible and convenient on digital platforms.
After that, the students had to tabulate values they got using the simulation on Excel which, for this activity, was our software of choice.
Excel is a powerful software for Data Analyzation, something the students had to do during this activity. The idea was to graph the relationship between two variables and see how changing one of them impacts the other.
Last but not the least, they had to consolidate their findings in a report which marked the completion of the activity.
好了，下面我将向大家介绍，我是如何在项目和活动中运用跨学科的方法的。
正如前面提到的，这个活动是我的学生在物理学中所学内容的延伸: 电容器及其应用。
课程主要探讨电容器的某些特性与其物理结构之间的关系。在这次活动中，学生们使用了来自不同学科的各种工具。
学生们必须使用模拟来完成这次活动。模拟是以课堂上讲授的知识为基础的，这样的“模拟”为分析提供了一个重要的方法，它们使在数字平台上进行实验成为可能和方便。
本次活动中，我们选择使用Excel作为模拟软件。学生们必须使用Excel上的模拟程序，将他们得到的数值制成表格。
Excel是一个强大的数据分析软件，我们的想法是绘制两个变量之间的关系图，看看其中一个变量如何影响另一个变量。
最后且重要的一点是，学生必须将他们的发现，整合在一份标志着活动完成的报告中。
