Grade – Upper Elementary
Level - Intermediate Reading/Conversation Skills
Reading longer articles / magazines / short chapter books
Month 2 Issues
Episodes 1-2 – Tales of the West
Episodes 3-4 – Disaster
Level 3 is for upper elementary school students who are reading longer magazine articles or are starting to read chapter books. The subjects and vocabulary are more mature, suitable for this age range. The focus is on the harder words and phrases that we know many Taiwanese students may not be familiar with at this age. The pace is quicker, and these interesting stories and themes open up the conversation even more. We also welcome Jr. high students to join for some great conversation and fun practice.

Einstein Club
愛因斯坦俱樂部
Einstein Club is for kids from grade 2 to grade 5+ who are comfortable in a whole-English environment. Einstein activities are geared towards elementary students, but older kids in junior high are also intrigued with these highly interactive, premium science club activities. We encourage parents to accompany younger children to help with some parts of the experiments.
Dr. Sparks teaches the junior scientists by leading them through a series of demonstrations, illustrations, and most importantly, multiple experiments. It’s our goal to create a science club environment that will open your kids’ minds to learning in English.
愛因斯坦俱樂部適合小學2年級到5年級(以上) ,並且習慣全英語溝通環境的小朋友。雖然此活動主要是針對小學生而設計的;但是大一點的國中生也會對這些互動性高,有深度的科學活動感到好奇! 我們鼓勵家長進教室陪同年紀較小的孩子以協助部分實驗操作。
Dr. Sparks是透過一系列的示範與說明,最重要的 — 不同的實驗來引導小小科學家們學習。我們的目標是建立一個科學俱樂部的環境進而讓孩子自然接觸並學習英文。

Einstein Club 3 - Smartphone Hacks
愛因斯坦俱樂部 3 - 手機變變變
The all new Einstein Club 3 is ready to go! The theme this time is Smartphone Hacks. We’re not talking about hacking into computers. We’re talking about the other definition of hack. Hack - to hack is to mod or change something in an extraordinary way. We’re going to hack our smartphones and learn how to use them in ways we never knew were possible. Science isn’t always about inventing something new. It’s often about finding ways to improve the things that we have. We want your kids to understand that creativity and exploration is a huge part of science.
We’ll explore how cell phones have changed over the past 20 years to what they are today. We will learn about sound amplification as we make portable speakers for our phones. Magnification and focus will be introduced when we make a smartphone projector using a shoebox and a magnifying glass. Finally, we’ll build a device that will change our smartphones into holographic projectors! All junior scientist will need to bring a smartphone to use in this activity.

全新的愛因斯坦俱樂部3 – "手機變變變"來囉!
我們會利用手機來變一些平常想不到的把戲喔!科學不只被用來創新,它也常常被用在改良既有的產品。我們希望讓孩子了解到創造力與探索是科學的一大部分。
我們會一起.探索手機在過去20年間的演化。我們會幫手機製作行動擴音器來認識擴音是什麼。也會用鞋盒與放大鏡來做手機用的投影機,同時認識放大與對焦。最後,我們會一起做一個可以把智慧型手機變成3D浮空投影機的裝置。每個小小科學家都需要帶一台智慧型手機來參加活動。
愛因斯坦俱樂部適合小學2年級到5年級(含以上) ,並且習慣全英語溝通環境的小朋友。雖然此活動主要是針對小學生而設計的;但是大一點的國中生也會對這些互動性高,有深度的科學活動感到好奇! 我們鼓勵家長進教室陪同年紀較小的孩子以協助部分實驗操作。

愛因斯坦俱樂部3 – 手機變變變 / 學習目標
• 科學創造力 – 在探索手機過去20年來的演化同時,討論瘋狂的點子與夢想如何激發創新
• 擴音 – 探索如何集中音波來放大音量
• 對焦 –隨著放大的距離改變,焦距也改變的實驗
實驗
• 可以大聲一點嗎? – 用紙杯透過手機做一個擴音器
• 真的做的出來嗎? – 用手機,鞋盒,放大鏡做一個投影機
• 3D浮空投影機 – 把手機變成3D浮空投影機

Einstein Club 2 - Density
愛因斯坦俱樂部 2 - 密度
愛因斯坦俱樂部2 – 密度
愛因斯坦俱樂部2 主題是”密度”。不同材質有不同的密度。我們會一同探索不同密度的材質之間的互動,以及密度對一個物品浮或沉的能力的影響。我們也會一起動手操作一系列很酷又好玩的實驗。我們將透過這些實驗以及可以帶回家的彩色教材來跟我們的小小科學家介紹這個比較大概念。
愛因斯坦俱樂部2 – 密度/學習目標
• 密度-探索什麼讓物品密度變高或低
• 密度的互動 – 觀察不同密度之間的互動
• 改變密度 – 加入二氧化碳來改變水的密度
• 液體密度與固體密度 – 根據不同密度來把液體分層
實驗
• 水疊水 – 把水變成2種不同密度,然後讓他們不混合的疊在一起
• 熔岩燈 – 用冒泡錠改變與油相疊的水的密度。觀察水的位子從密度變到比油低,然後再變到比油高的變化。
• 密度之塔 – 做出5層液體的密度塔,然後觀察固體本身的密度如何影響他們浮在哪一層。

Einstein Club 2 – Density
The theme for Einstein Club 2 is Density. Different materials have different densities. Explore how materials with different densities interact with each other and how density effects somethings ability to float or sink. This big concept is explained to our junior scientists through a series of really cool, hands-on experiments and our full color, take-home science notebook.
Einstein Club 2 – Density / Learning Objectives
• Density – Explore what makes something more or less dense
• Density Interaction – Explore how different densities interact with each other
• Changing Density – Change water’s density by adding carbon dioxide
• Liquid and Solid Density – Layer liquids according to their density.
Experiments
• Water Standing on Water – Create water with 2 different densities and then get one to stand on the other without mixing.
• Lava Lamp – Use effervescent tablets to change the density of water layered with oil. Watch water’s position change as it becomes less dense and then more dense than oil.
• Density Tower – Create a 5 layer liquid density tower and then observe how solids’ densities control which layer they float on.
