Hello! We are from hydropower generator exploration. Hydropower is the system of producing electricity by water flow. In class, we are working on research different topics about hydropower. So, in order to understand clearer we have some trips to go to other places to see hydropower and meet expert asking question. Our goals are to change Cambodia by distributing hydropower for Cambodia people to use because hydropower is the renewable energy. Also Cambodian don’t need to spend a lot of budget on electricity which is import from other neighbor countries like Thailand, Vietnam, and Lao.
In Liger, we focus mostly on changing Cambodia. When I learn in Liger, I have lots of explorations that help me change parts of Cambodia. One of my explorations that show changing Cambodia call Animals Field Guide. In our class, we have a big goal to publish a real book and share it with Cambodian. We change Cambodia by sharing our knowledge about wild animals to Cambodian through our books. Besides doing research on the internet, we also have two trips to meet experts outside our school to ask for more information about our animals. We will spread out our book to the world including Cambodia.
Description: As you all know we have been working on Animals field guide last time. But we didn’t complete work yet, so we have a chance to continue our work with another round of exploration. On our second exploration round, we focus mostly on turn our note into description and start edit your working by our self, teachers, mentors and experts. We really excited about it. When I finished my work teacher ask me to paint a map showing people about forest in Cambodia. And I did! At the end of our exploration which mean our teacher (Jojo) will leave Liger, we went to play Laser Tag in Kid City with our group for our hard work. And we have fun together!
We went on another trip to see how Free the Bear take care of the bears.
She explain us how they feed the bears.
This are some ingredients that they put in the ball above.
I mixed those food together.
Then, they throw the freezing food into the bear's caves.
Afterward, I went to ask some more questions related to the bears.
We camp and also cook our own dinner.
We went to visit the other animal as well.
As this trip is at Takeo province, I got to meet my dad.
Description: In Animals field guide we learned about each species of animals in Cambodia. Also each student need to choose their own species to research about it. Our big goal is to make the animals book for the whole people in Cambodia to study by painting with Val. Val is one guide who volunteer to come and help us publish a real book. She from Australia. Beside that we went on two trips because we wanted to experience to see forest and the animals that live in the forest directly.We went to Siem Reap provinces and Takeo because we want to learn more new things from expert and have fun with them. When we came back we compared each similar species that we have to get the different. In Siem Reap to go meet a lot of expert about our species that learn more about it. We learned about how all animals connect to each other (Biodiversity). We learned how to give food to animals in captivity. We also get a chance to ask them some question about the animals that we have. Also we will continue our exploration in literacy time because we need to complete making our book. Beside that we will continue our exploration in next term and we will have other project than making the book. Our plan is to share our knowledge that we have to other student around Cambodia.
Hi! We are from the Animal Guide exploration. We traveled around to different forests in Cambodia in order to understand the biodiversity in our forests and our goal is to authorize a book about wildlife in Cambodia.
In class, we started to learn basic information about different types of forests, plants, and animals as well as planning to go on trips.
We went to spend the night at the floating village and understand the biodiversity over there as well as how people life there different from us.
This is when we walk through the forest.
We also experience camping as well.
We meet different ecology experts in order to learn something from them as well.
We observe the life style of the bird.
We continue our journey to different places around Cambodia.
We started to choose our favorite species and do the research on them.
As we gathered enough information, we started to turn it into sentences.
We worked with Art in the Box to learn how to paint with water color.
We started to paint the animal species which will be put inside our book.
Location of Trips Taken: ARC Hub PNH office two times a week; ISPP, iCAN, Development Innovations once each to talk to possible customers.
Essential Questions: How to make a business?
Summary:
Find the problem
First we need to find some problem and have some research because when you make the product your product need to fit their problem and when we know the problem we have the idea to make something.
Idea
When we know the problem we need to have the idea that can help the people that need help. our idea was to be very helpful because it is not just our company that make it it have another people make too.
Find the customer
After we know what we are going to make we need to find the customer that we think will buy our product and we need to find at least three customers. we need to think about how old our customer are.
Make a change
When we email to them and their problem not fit to our product we can make some changes to relate to their problem by knowing what problem is the most when we email to them.
Find the place to sell
If we know our customer, our price and our product is good we need to find the place to sell and that place needed to be our customer that they have the problem and our product it help them.
In our group we had 3 product that we had made one was water bottle lid, egg holder, and pencil case we were so happy because we can made the product to sell to other in Cambodia.
1. How are organisms and the nonliving environment interconnected in the world around us?
2. What is the value of tropical forest ecosystems for Cambodia?
3. How do humans impact tropical forest ecosystems in Cambodia? Is it possible to use tropical forests sustainably?
Description: In Tropical Forest Ecology we learned about Ecosystems. Ecosystems are a community of organisms that are interconnected and connected with non-living things. We went on two trips because we wanted to experience and see forest directly.We went to Preah Vihear and Koh Kong provinces. When we came back we compared the dry deciduous dipterocarp forest ecosystem (Preah Vihear province) with the evergreen forest ecosystem (Koh Kong province). In Preah Vihear we went to Tmatboey community and in Koh Kong we went to Chi Phat community. We learned about conservation. Conservation means taking care or protecting something. While we learned about conservation, we also learned about sustainable and unsustainable. Sustainable is the action that does not destroy the ecosystem. Unsustainable is the action that destroys the ecosystem. We learned about ecotourism. Ecotourism is tourism that uses and benefits the ecosystem. That is one way that we use ecosystems sustainably.Also we learned about ecological services. Ecological services are the benefits that people get from ecosystems. There are three ecological services such as provisioning services, regulating services and cultural services. Provisioning services are how the ecosystem provides us directly. Ex: Trees give us resin. Regulating services are how the ecosystem regulates the climate. Ex: Trees stop the floods by absorbing the water. Cultural services are how the ecosystems give us something culturally. Ex: Bambuti people use forest plants to smoke for their ceremonies. We answered our essential questions by using the knowledge that we got from our trips.
This is the map of our traveling journey. -by SamnangN
We practice our camping skill before we took off.
Our group picture on the boat.
We walk through the forest together.
We stop at places to observe different plants and animals.
This is a type of plant called epiphyte.
After that, we continue our journey to the camping place.
2. What information should I know about architecture?
3. What does Khmer architecture look like?
4. What are the differences between ancient and modern architecture?
5. How do we create architecture?
Description: Architecture is the process of planning, designing and constructing. When we work on architecture with these three things we have to think about durability, utility and beauty. So in our Exploration we learned about architecture in Cambodia. For example: in Cambodia there are many houses, buildings and also the temples. The Khmer architecture was different than the other countries because like the Angkor Wat is made from the big rocks and the foundation that they built is layers of rocks and sand. But in the other countries, like in the U.S.A, there are not really the buildings that have the foundation like that. Before, the buildings in Cambodia were not that big. The houses were also not that big and were not made from cement like right now. Now when they make the houses, they put many colors and many styles that they want. But at the past, the Khmer buildings were not too big and did not have many styles like now. Just the temples had many styles that Khmer ancestors made by hand with the big rocks. On the big rocks they made the big sculptures that showed about Khmer history. To do the architecture we have to follow the theory of architecture and do it step by step. In this group we went on the trip to Siem Reap to learn how did the Khmer ancestors build the temples. Other than that we also went to some places in Phnom Penh. We went to Central Market, Olympic Stadium and PPIT. That is the school that teaches about the architecture.
This is one of the market that were built a long time ago, and it still look strong.
We went there to observe the architect work that were done there.
We also went to Siem Reap to visit Angkor Wat, which was built thousand years ago.
We traveled around to meet with experts and learn from their experiences.
After receiving new experiences from our trip, we started to draw our dream house as well.
1. What do students know about planning and running Exploration projects?
2. What are the steps of running Exploration project?
3. How to keep track of working process?
4. How to use resources efficiently and transparently?
5. How is the situation of people living along the border such as: education, health, economic and immigration?
6. Why do people move there?
7. What are the advantages and disadvantages of living there?
Description: In our Life On Border group we learned a lot of things about border. Students know how to run the Exploration very well. Students know the goal to run their project. The first step that we can run our project is we learn about our goal. Our goal is Project Summary, Project Outcome, Project Mentors, Field Experiences, 21st Century Learning Skills and Core Curriculum Areas. After we learned about our goal we planned and thought. The situation of the people that live along the border is normal. Some people don’t have money so they don’t have work. Some people go to find work at Thailand so when the people go already some of the people can’t come back. People’s health is not so good at the border because they don’t have money to buy their food. They move to the border because if the people have the money they come to border to sell something because the border have a lot of people came from Russia to the Cambodia. So that why people want to make their business there. The advantage to live there is there are not a lot of bad people at there so it safe for people. The disadvantage to live there is if people don’t have money and they don’t have work they will not be safe for their life. We went to the border to learn and we saw some people have a work and some people don’t have work. Some people have a work but it like cart worker it is not easy to get the money. We interview the cart worker and the sellers. We went to casino to visit, but we didn’t get a chance to go in.
Description: In the TV Broadcasting group we learned about how to be a good emcee, film, and about the different jobs. We divided into four jobs such as producer, editor, cameraman, and emcee. A producer has to make a script for emcee. Also they have to make a storyboard and tell the cameraman what plot they want for the video. After all of this, they have to sit with the editor to tell what we want the video about. A editor also has a hard work to do. They have to make sure that the video is right and what they want. A cameraman has to go to take a video with the producer. Before the emcee talks in the real show they have to understand what the script is about. In our class we made one documentary about Liger. Before we made a documentary we took some trips to some TV stations and met with the producer. We went to the CTN channel station and Apsara channel station. We got a lot of experience from the emcee and the producer. It helped us a lot when we made our documentary.
Big group picture before we went off to the Bayon TV station.
3. What processes are needed to create a small profitable business?
Description: When we started this project we thought about Ready-Set-Go, which is a website that helped us get ideas about starting our business. In Ready we thought about our logo, what business and our goals. Then we divided all the students in our group into three different departments. There were Research + Development, Account + Finance and Sales and Marketing. In R+D they worked on how to make our design unique. In A+C they worked on Project balance sheet. Project balance sheet is the sheet that we just think of but it is not happen yet. But S + M is very important because they need to prepare the attitude and be friendly to the buyers who come. After that we took trips to RUFA, Art Gallery, A.N.D, Royal Boutique, Smateria and Wattan. Wattan is a place which made bags for us to paint. At first we decided to make 52 tote bags but then we wanted another 13 ipad bags. In our last day we all painted the bags already and we opened the shop for the students, staff and visitors to buy bags from our business. On that day we also used a mannequin to make up and put the bags on it’s hand. At that day we sold nearly all the bags. We also had 2 bags to raffle. This was very fun. We had the promotion about the tickets and one ticket for the adult costs 1$ and for the kids costs 2000៛. From that day each of us got $5 from when we sold.
