  Jason Hackenwerth’s Balloon Art
  你见过用气球构成的艺术品吗?如果没有,那不妨去艺术家贾森•汉肯韦尔斯举办的气球艺术展看看。在那里,你可以看到神奇、巨大的昆虫,奇异的怪兽,还有那不知名的外星人。
  Like the pop artists of the late 20th century, artist Jason Hackenwerth put something new into his balloon art. Hackenwerth has put hundreds of balloons together in interesting ways to make nice artworks(艺术品). These artworks are of strange animals, insects(昆虫) and aliens. His works are all funny and colorful. His works are also often shown at festivals and other interesting events.
  Jason Hackenwerth has showed some of his works in America. However, like all balloons the air would get out of the balloons in the end, so he had to make new works to show. Every artwork took him more than a week to make.
  Now, he lives in New York and his balloon artworks are attracting(吸引) people all over the world.
  根据短文内容,判断下列句子正(T)误(F)。
   1. The artworks are made of balloons. ()
   2. Jason’s artworks are often shown at the beginning of school. ()
   3. People in the world are all interested in Jason’s balloon artworks. ()

  Her “brother” was an elephant; her best friend was a leopard(豹); her playground was the African bush; her name is Tippi. Now a new book, “Tippi: My Book of Africa” has become very popular. The book was written by Tippi’s parents, Sylvie Robert and Alain Degre.
  Tippi lived with her parents in Africa for ten years. The book is about her life and all her interesting experiences there. There are a lot of pictures in the book. In them, we see Tippi riding an elephant, sleeping beside a leopard, dancing with birds, and playing with many other animals. After she turned ten, she went to live in a city. But Tippi was the happiest with the wild animals in Africa. Now she’s 18 years old, and hopes to go back there.

新课程视域下初中物理课堂教学如何设计?这个问题是我们每一个初中物理教师所关心的话题,本文从建构主义理论角度对初中物理课堂内容如何建构,从课标理念就如何优化课堂设计谈几点笔者的看法,望能有助于教学实践.  1 基于建构主义的课堂教学建构  1.1 建构课堂内容  课堂是有结构的,内容之间应该是有联系,循序深入的,孤立的知识即使能够有短期的记忆效果,也不容易在学生头脑深层留下印记,时间一长便遗忘于未知
1问题的提出  我们发现,对于处在匀强电场中的带电粒子而言,它的周围不仅有重力场,还有匀强电场,同时研究这两种场对物体运动的影响,问题就会变得复杂一些.但是,物体仅在重力场中的运动是常见的、基本的运动,而匀强电场有许多性质与重力场非常相似,所以我们在解决有些电场问题时,可以将重力场与电场合二为一,用一个全新的“复合场”(可形象地称之为“等效重力场”)来代替重力场和电场,这样,将复合场的问题等效类比

【教学内容】 电流的磁效应;探究通电螺线管周围的磁场.  【教材分析】 电流的磁效应是学习电磁现象的重要基础.由于初中生的空间能力和识图能力比较差,教学中要尽可能采用适当的直观教具演示这一现象.尽可能让学生认识到电流及其周围的磁场是同时存在而密不可分的.为了说明这个问题,在做奥斯特实验的时候,要让学生亲手做实验,把小磁针放在直导线附近,通过观察导线通电时和断电时小磁针发生的变化,帮助学生加深对知识

新课程理念强调知识的构建过程,注重在物理实验中培养学生科学探究的能力.根据中学生的年龄特征,对物理实验教学进行优化,尽量做到生动直观,这不仅能让学生掌握了知识、激发学生学习物理的兴趣与求知欲望,更重要的是可以培养学生的探索精神、创新能力和科学素养,使实验教学在课堂教学中发挥独特的魅力.  1 选择贴近学生生活的实验,深化学生原有的认识  在“变阻器”这节课引入时,利用学生生活中常见的调光台灯、收音
