一“筷”的力量
“你压到我的手指啦!”“我手还没放好呢,等一下再压啊!”“你们等等,我手插进米里面去了!”……高一年级组的教室里如此热闹,这是在干什么呢?
原来这是新学期高一年级组的一节班会课,各个班级在举行“一‘筷’的力量”主题活动。活动道具简单:一个圆柱体玻璃杯,一杯干生的大米,一根普通筷子。每班分为四或五组,每组五人左右。各组自行想方设法,最后抓取筷子提起一杯米方为成功。活动接近尾声时,每个班级的每个小组都进行了小结,发表不同的感想。
横看成岭侧成峰,远近高低各不同。对本次活动同学们亦见仁见智。下面,就一起来看看来自各班的精彩分享吧:

一根竹筷提起一杯米,这可能吗?最后的成功让我们从怀疑走向信服。大家知道其中的奥秘吗?从物理的角度来讲,反复按压减小了米之间的空隙,增大筷子与米的摩擦力。当米与筷子之间的摩擦力大到可与重力平衡时,就可以通过一只筷子将整杯米提起来了。原来很多奇迹的背后存在着科学原理,我们要勤于去探索。

一“筷”的力量,顾名思义,“一块”的力量,是集体团结的力量。这个看似简单的活动,却需要每个人的用心配合。成功往往是集体通力合作的结果,只有众志成城集体才会越来越强。

我们开始认为杯口太小而不能将每位组员的手指都放进杯口,于是让几位同学用手掌去按压。但这样一次又一次,实验一直没有成功。大家进行了反思,改为每个组员用大拇指一起按压。但有的同学不听指令,提前按了米,或有的同学提前松开手,这都导致米粒四溅,屡试屡爽。反复多次后最终才成功。这节班会看似只做了一个小游戏,实际上告诉了我们一个大道理:凡事都要学会观察和思考,不断反思和改进,方能成功!

每位组员都是小组的一部分,集体中,每个人都不要妄自菲薄,我们也不能小觑任何一个人的力量。只有大家自信和互信,才能将每个不可能变为绝对的可能。

我们小组一开始是把筷子细的一端插入了大米中,筷子和米的接触面积小,没有足够大的摩擦力将杯子提起。后来我们将筷子粗的一端插入大米中,不一会儿就将杯子提起。事实告诉我们:无论做什么事情,只有找到正确解决问题的方法,才能获得理想的结果。

At the beginning of the activity, each group discussed for a few minutes, and tried many kinds of methods to solve the problem.
After a while, our group completed the task really quickly, however it didn’t count because the chopstick was on the glass. But then, we discussed the reasons and found the right method to do so. When all of us put our fingers on the rice and tried over and over, it was very easy to lift the cup at the end.

Each group looked forward to being the first to finish the activity. As I have seen, we have utilized at least a dozen of ways to try to solve it, but none of them worked. And after a while, teacher finally told us:This is a teamwork activity. That inspired us a lot!
We used our thumbs to press the rice together, and finally we succeeded.I’m sure that everyone has learned the importance of teamwork after this class activity.

This activity sounded pretty simple, didn’t it? We put rice and chopstick into the cup and tried to bring it up, but we failed. We tried again, and we failed again. One more try, and one more failure.
Were you kidding? How could it work! So we started to improve the methods. We pushed the rice closer to the chopstick and tried to liftthe cup, but it still didn’t work. Finally, we got a clue from the other group which had already finished the activity. All of our teammates needed to push the rice together to make them more dense around the chopstick. We all spoke together: One, Two, Push. By using this method, we succeeded after a few trials. We all laughed joyfully. This activity was so meaningful. We realized we need to work, study and even entertain to make ourselves, our friends, our whole class more enjoyable and more powerful!

今天的活动,我们起初觉得不可思议。我们绞尽脑汁也没能如愿,最后不断调整才成功。我们从中明白了:如果一个人或者集体,无法完成各种挑战,那么这个人或集体的存在便没有多大价值了。

一开始有的人认为只要用力就能做得到,甚至把筷子都弄折了。最后在老师的引导下,我们仿佛醍醐灌顶,没过多久就逐渐一组组成功了。原来成功不单单要用力,更重要的是用智。
Serena Du
游戏开始,每组同学将手覆在杯子上方一起用力按压大米。这下子同学们变得有些乱哄哄的。后来在老师的组织下,同学们口中喊着号子“三、二、一”,各自用大拇指按压大米,才慢慢变得整齐划一起来。

“十、九、八……五、四、三、二、一,活动结束!同学们听到老师的声音,意犹未尽地放下了手中的杯子。
这节班会课定会在同学们的心上留下很深的印象。相信同学们在记住这堂课的同时,也会记住“团结就是力量”和集体的欢乐。
班级是学校教育的基本单位。主题班会既能帮助学生提高认识、发展个性、愉悦生活,又可增强班级凝聚力,从而达到建设良好班集体的目的。西位国际部的班主任们牢记“追求完美,力求发展”的校训精神,注重每一节主题班会课的设计和实施。在这用心的教育中,西位学子们一路成长一路收获!
