When am not learned about Project-based learning (PBL) I don’t know what is PBL mean. So I had learned PBL class and we had create our own PBL definition and our definition is Project-based learning is an educational method that involves inspiring students in problem solving and investigative activities to gain deeper knowledge, skills, and experiences; giving students the opportunity to actively explore challenging questions and real-world problems outside of the classroom resulting in realistic products, solutions or other outcomes. So the ministry of Education had told us to work with two school one in Phnom Penh (Chbar Ampov High School) and another one is in Kratie (Kratie Town High School). We had explained to the teachers about PBL then the teachers had put project for the students to work. When the student did a presentation to us they doing well. We do this not mean we want to change the curriculum but we want to share the curriculum and find out which one work better for government schools.
3D Design Class
In The Liger Learning Center we have one class call 3D Design that learned every Monday to Tuesday at 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm. In 3D Design class we learned how to animate an object then we can print our object by one machine call 3D Printer. We can animate anything want than we can print our object with 3D model. The object that I had been animate are chess, minion, android, avatar, house and a lots more. I also join one project (Liger 3D Model) that work on making Liger model with 3D Model. It a complicate project because every building are done to scale so that mean we have to make every building with an accurate diameter.
The app call Blender That I use to animate.
My Math Class
In my math class we had worked on one website call khan academy (is a website use to improve your skill like math, science and other). Jeff our math teacher said if you work on khan academy to improve your math skill he will give us more point when we do auction by looking at how much you improve your percentage. It not matter on how many percentage you have it matter on how many percentage you had improve. Right now I had improve 7% I hope I can improve more so I can had more point when we had the auction day. Right now we also work on how to use the new calculator that is very powerful that calculator is the most powerful calculator in the world according to my math teacher said. We learned how to use it but now it still complicate for me to use that calculator but I hope I can use it perfectly in the future because that calculator is so powerful.

Can clog the drain and the water can’t going in to the clog and when it have the rain it will have the flooding people hard to go other places also it will have a lot of the mosquito and the people will have a lot of people is sick. problems of landfill take to much of the space,leaching chemicals because when it have a lot of rain the chemicals will spread out and go into the water. Methane gas it the organic waste in the landfill don’t have the O2 to compose it will make the methane gas is stronger than co2 about 21time. We also learned about 3R it mean to reduce reuse and recycle the plastics waste. Reduce is mean to use less plastics or not use plastics. Reuse is mean to use the plastics again. Recycle is mean to make something new. 5D it have define, discover, design, develop, and deploy. Define is mean to find the problem of the plastics. Discover is mean to learn about the problem.

Biography Description
Exploration Name: Biography
Exploration Dates: August 12-September 26
Essential Questions:
(1) What is a biography?
(2) What events have shaped this person’s life?
Number of Students: 13
Description: The first day that we started to learn our Exploration everyone was very excited. Our Exploration studied with teacher Jo, Sambath and Channa. Our Exploration learned about Biography. Biography is studying about the other person’s life. Biography group worked together and shared ideas that we had. For example: we went on a trip and searched the information in computer. When we interviewed we used the strategy to understand about the other person’s life like listening strategy, asking questions and interviewing. We learned how to interview the people, by writing down the notes, how to be a good photographer and a good questionnaire. When we interviewed the people already we not just write down notes in our book. We also learned to make a documentary in the iMovie program. Some people worked on the information that they got too but they did it in Powerpoint program. The reason we wanted to do like this because in the future if we forget what we have we can look in the documentary of the other people life. The people that we interviewed were:Sophal’s uncle (the older person and now he does not do anything because his leg is hurt), Sophal’s sister-in-law (now she not do anything but she works at her house), Sophal (works in Liger cleaning the school), Simian (works in Liger cleaning the school) and Houy (also works at cleaning Liger too). We had many different people that we interviewed but we only give example some of the people. We took the trip to go to the pagoda near our school to interview the monks in that pagoda. It was so fun for the Biography group. Our group studied only six weeks. Every day during Exploration time the students worked hard and studied new things a lot. In this Exploration all of the students are not lazy, they are active and helpful. We all were really happy to study about biography and now help us have a knowledge and a lot of the experience that we thought.
TV Broadcasting Description
Exploration Name: TV Broadcasting
Exploration Dates: January 20th – March 7th
Number of Students: 8
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 jobssuch 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.
