WEBVTT 00:07.500 --> 00:09.012 "After you put on the cap tightly, 00:09.012 --> 00:09.940 you can get started." 00:10.550 --> 00:11.650 "Those who advocate science believe 00:11.650 --> 00:13.798 vitality is like a precise machine," 00:13.798 --> 00:17.188 "The asthenosphere will split after continuous thermal convection." 00:17.188 --> 00:19.498 The full name for LIS 00:19.498 --> 00:20.922 is Learning in Science. 00:20.922 --> 00:23.261 I hope to energize kids' learning motivation 00:23.261 --> 00:26.268 and help them to gain skills. 00:26.270 --> 00:28.051 So they don't learn through spoon-feeding 00:28.051 --> 00:29.722 or for taking exams. 00:36.884 --> 00:39.070 I wanted to compare whether I've missed any star. 00:39.070 --> 00:40.914 But I found out the relative position 00:40.914 --> 00:42.166 between the star and the sun 00:42.166 --> 00:44.190 seemed to be different from what I observed. 00:44.502 --> 00:46.350 Maybe he should just speak naturally 00:46.350 --> 00:47.857 instead of trying to speak in character? 00:47.857 --> 00:50.184 When I was a junior at NCKU, 00:50.858 --> 00:54.892 I took a course called Tutoring Service and Learning, 00:55.217 --> 00:59.821 in which I tutored kids who stayed for tutoring after school. 00:59.824 --> 01:01.704 Those kids came from low income families. 01:01.704 --> 01:04.059 So people like me tutored them for free. 01:04.386 --> 01:05.805 When I was tutoring them, 01:05.805 --> 01:07.848 I wondered 01:08.935 --> 01:12.227 where this group of kids would go after I left. 01:12.668 --> 01:13.850 I wondered why it's so unfair. 01:13.850 --> 01:16.083 Why can some families afford to 01:16.090 --> 01:17.240 hire me to tutor their kids, 01:17.240 --> 01:18.548 while some disadvantaged kids 01:18.548 --> 01:20.580 have to depend on free after class tutoring? 01:20.580 --> 01:22.287 Without our help, they'd have fallen behind. 01:22.809 --> 01:24.685 You believe you've seen a problem. 01:24.824 --> 01:27.842 You can't expect other people to do it. 01:28.164 --> 01:29.519 So why not you? 01:30.541 --> 01:33.225 Changes take place when people get into action 01:33.225 --> 01:34.454 and make them happen. 01:39.390 --> 01:41.000 When I started making teaching videos, 01:41.000 --> 01:43.185 I received tons of negative comments. 01:43.185 --> 01:45.934 They thought it wasn't going to work. 01:46.328 --> 01:48.765 I was teaching at Kids' Bookhouse. 01:48.772 --> 01:50.534 I played my teaching videos in class. 01:50.544 --> 01:51.394 When I went to class next time, 01:51.394 --> 01:53.341 the kids came to me and said: 01:53.579 --> 01:54.848 "Could you upload your videos faster? 01:54.848 --> 01:56.525 We've watched all of your YouTube videos already." 01:57.179 --> 01:58.406 This group of kids told me that 01:58.406 --> 01:59.752 they've watched all of my videos 01:59.752 --> 02:01.013 not for the sake of taking exams, 02:01.336 --> 02:02.574 and wanted me to upload more. 02:02.920 --> 02:03.979 It was something inconsequential, 02:03.979 --> 02:06.885 but I was deeply moved at that time. 02:07.917 --> 02:09.703 I realized that 02:09.703 --> 02:11.956 the kids do have the motivation for learning. 02:18.057 --> 02:20.069 In the beginning, 02:20.069 --> 02:21.183 I made my videos based on the textbooks, 02:21.183 --> 02:22.657 and did it chapter by chapter. 02:22.657 --> 02:25.575 Later, I began to make them like a show, 02:25.575 --> 02:28.671 and started to add characters, stories, 02:29.248 --> 02:31.850 and elements that 02:31.862 --> 02:34.944 made me want to watch the videos 02:34.944 --> 02:38.311 or made me want to learn. 02:38.576 --> 02:40.898 We've figured out our approach now. 02:42.446 --> 02:43.714 At LIS, 02:43.714 --> 02:46.058 our team likes to say jokingly that 02:46.058 --> 02:48.807 we want to become the Disney of the textbook industry. 02:48.807 --> 02:50.185 The reason we said that 02:50.614 --> 02:53.702 was because we've created lots of original content, 02:54.143 --> 02:56.165 and we've introduced stories 02:56.438 --> 02:58.060 and characters in our videos. 02:58.060 --> 03:00.083 We own a lot of IP. 03:00.083 --> 03:01.622 Through the stories, we tell kids: 03:01.622 --> 03:03.573 "This is very interesting. 03:03.580 --> 03:04.988 Do you want to know more about it? 03:04.988 --> 03:06.501 Here's the knowledge. 03:06.506 --> 03:08.006 After you finish watching our videos, 03:08.006 --> 03:09.527 you might want to do some research. 03:09.540 --> 03:10.775 Here's the knowledge for you." 03:10.775 --> 03:12.358 We want to be that bridge. 03:12.647 --> 03:13.847 What we want to teach 03:13.847 --> 03:17.763 is how to make the kids do something different 03:17.918 --> 03:19.337 in their own living environments. 03:19.337 --> 03:20.634 And then do something 03:20.634 --> 03:22.195 with their environment and talents. 03:22.195 --> 03:24.687 That's why we have this motivation 03:24.693 --> 03:26.870 and decided to teach skills. 03:26.870 --> 03:28.522 We provide our materials to teachers, 03:28.522 --> 03:29.887 so they will know 03:29.887 --> 03:32.716 what different approaches to use to teach the kids in class. 03:32.725 --> 03:35.442 If phlogiston is released from the steel wool, 03:35.447 --> 03:37.022 why does its weight increase? 03:38.733 --> 03:40.060 I wasn't that interested 03:40.060 --> 03:42.444 in physical science. 03:42.772 --> 03:44.225 I thought physical science was very hard. 03:44.225 --> 03:45.593 But through the videos, 03:45.603 --> 03:47.891 I found out physical science can actually be interesting. 03:47.905 --> 03:51.090 To me, natural science was like a nightmare. 03:51.096 --> 03:54.931 After Teacher Hsin-ru showed us LIS videos, 03:54.931 --> 03:55.996 I discovered that 03:55.996 --> 03:58.686 science actually can be this interesting, 03:58.895 --> 04:00.410 fun and lively, 04:00.410 --> 04:03.730 and is all around us in our daily lives. 04:03.730 --> 04:08.190 I started to have a new outlook on my worldview. 04:08.769 --> 04:14.470 I often watch the videos at home 04:14.762 --> 04:16.333 because lots of experiments they've done 04:16.333 --> 04:17.213 are very interesting. 04:17.213 --> 04:20.350 Moreover, you can do some of the experiments at home. 04:23.112 --> 04:24.221 When something is burned, 04:24.221 --> 04:27.213 phlogiston will be released. 04:27.213 --> 04:29.421 As a result, the size and weight will be reduced. 04:29.433 --> 04:32.101 So we support the phlogiston theory based on this view. 04:32.549 --> 04:35.312 When a material is in a vacuum environment, 04:35.312 --> 04:36.622 the material can't be burned. 04:36.969 --> 04:39.597 But based on the phlogiston theory, 04:39.609 --> 04:40.743 as long as materials contain phlogiston, 04:40.750 --> 04:42.053 they can be burned anywhere. 04:42.563 --> 04:43.730 This shows that 04:43.730 --> 04:45.007 the phlogiston theory is wrong. 04:45.253 --> 04:51.234 We work hard to ignite the flame of science in the students. 04:51.535 --> 04:53.132 For some students, 04:53.132 --> 04:55.840 a small flame 04:55.840 --> 04:58.008 may become a raging fire one day. 04:58.232 --> 04:59.807 The core value of education 04:59.807 --> 05:02.264 is to make kids realize 05:02.269 --> 05:03.982 the things they really want to do. 05:03.982 --> 05:05.843 Every kid has his/her individual talents. 05:05.849 --> 05:07.078 There are suitable places for them 05:07.084 --> 05:08.251 and places they want to go. 05:08.251 --> 05:09.922 Through these teaching materials, 05:09.922 --> 05:12.066 we teach kids this ability which will help them 05:12.066 --> 05:13.286 to retain their passion for learning, 05:13.286 --> 05:15.687 instead of stopping learning after they graduate. 05:15.693 --> 05:17.071 They'll know what they want to learn, 05:17.210 --> 05:18.361 and through their motivation, 05:18.361 --> 05:20.299 they'll have the ability 05:20.302 --> 05:21.766 to go to the places they want to go. 05:21.905 --> 05:22.819 When we face a problem, 05:22.821 --> 05:24.396 let's try to solve it. 05:24.559 --> 05:25.700 We may fail or succeed. 05:26.039 --> 05:26.949 It's okay if we fail. 05:27.200 --> 05:29.139 The spirit of being a scientist is to give it another try. 05:29.142 --> 05:30.825 Let's use a different hypothesis and do it again. 05:32.007 --> 05:34.159 Learn to think like a scientist. 05:34.159 --> 05:35.586 As long as you're able to solve problems, 05:35.586 --> 05:38.028 you'll have a chance to transform your life.
