A way to promote student interest and engagement in physics is by capitalizing on students’ skills in arts and crafts to design and make physics-based toys. This article illustrates how two students (averaging 14 years of age) in the authors’ science class designed and fabricated a variation of a physics-based teaching aid that demonstrates the concept of resonance. The students value-added to the appeal of this teaching aid by adding ‘artful’ and ‘game-like’ contexts that aroused the curiosity of their classmates and young children in the functionality of the toy.

“共舞的跳舞娃娃”：一个简单的设计制作STEAM玩具项目，旨在提高学生的兴趣和对物理学的投入

一种提高学生对物理学的兴趣和参与度的方法是，利用学生在工艺美术上的技能来设计和制作基于物理的玩具。本文说明了作者科学课中的两名学生（平均年龄为14岁）如何设计和制造了多种基于物理学的教具，以展示共振的概念。通过添加“巧妙的”和“类似游戏的”环境，激发了同学和幼儿对玩具功能的好奇心，学生为这种教具的吸引力增值了。
