Unit 1Great scientistsBrief Statements Based on This UnitThis unit centers on Great scientists, including some scientists both at home and abroad like John Snow and Copernicus.The students should be encouraged to practise talking about these scientists.The whole unit can be divided into seven parts: warming up, reading, listening and speaking,In warming up, there is a quiz for the students to do, which will arouse the students’ interest in knowing about the famous scientists and help the students to know science is very important in our daily life.Group discussion and brainstorming will be used in this period to help the students to communicate with each other using their previous knowledge.In the reading passage, the students will learn about John Snow, who defeats“King Cholera”, and get a general idea about how to examine a new scientific idea.This will help the students to form their own attitude towards science.In learning about language, the students are encouraged to learn the following words and expressions: engine, characteristic, radium, theory, scientific, examine, conclude, analyze repeat, defeat, attend, expose, cure, control, absorb, severe, valuable, blame, immediately, handle, announce, instruct, virus, construction, contribute, positive, movement, backward, complete, enthusiastic, spin, reject, view, steam engine, put forward, draw a conclusion, in addition, link...to..., be strict with, lead to, make sense, point of view.While practising using the language, the students will learn about Copernicus’ RevolutionaryIn listening and speaking, more chances will be given to the students to learn about other scientists and their spirit.The students are encouraged to make up their mind to make contributions to science.The students will be asked to write a letter to Copernicus on the basis of the understanding ofAssessment will help the students to look back what they have learned and focus on the difficult and important points.So, this unit

to learn from the scientists and form their positive attitude towards science.Period 1Welcome to the UnitThe General Idea of This PeriodThe unit centers on“great scientists”.This is the first period of this unit.During this period, the students should be encouraged to give their previous knowledge of some of the famous scientists, participate in the activities in class and try to get more information from the discussion.They will take part in different forms of activities, including pair work, group work, competition, andWords and expressions in this unit will help the students to talk about the topic“great sci entists”.So at the beginning of this period, the teacher should spend some time training the students to read them and help the students pronounce them correctly.The students are encouraged to learn the new words in groups by themselves, using dictionaries and other reference books.Then more time should be given to the students to get familiar with the words and stly, several sentences will be given to the students to help them to know how to use some of the phrases.This unit is about“great scientists”, so from the very beginning, the teacher canstudents brainstorm something about great scientists.The students are free to say anything that they know.The students will be quite interested in this topic.This activity gives the students a chance to express their feelings about their favorite scientist.At the same time, this activity can stir the students’ enthusiasm in science.Then the teacher can have the students match the famous scientists with their discoveries, inventions or theories, making sure that they have some common sense about some world-famous scientists.and let other students guess who he or she is talking about.In this way, the students should learn toAfter that, the students will feel comfortable to do the quiz in the text.The students should beMeanwhile, the students’ interest in scientists and science should be cultivated.So two topicThe post-class activities are designed to arouse the students’ interest in science and encourage them to“DIY—do it yourself” in their daily life if they have some doubt in some areas.Teaching Important PointsHave the students discuss great scientists.Encourage the stUnderstand and learn the following words and expressions: engine, characteristic, radium, theory, scientific,

Darwin published The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection in 1859, sparking decades of contentious debate which ultimately led to the universal scientific recognition of Darwin’s thesis.In later years, he developed his ideas further in monographs on different types of plant and animal life.Notes:Shrewsbury: 什鲁斯伯里[英国英格兰西部城市physician: 内科医生(注意区分physicist, 物理学家revolutionary: 创新的HMS: (英国)皇家海军舰船treatises: 论文2.Stephen William Hawking was born on 8 January 1942 (300 years after the death of Galileo) in Oxford, Engl and.His parents’ house was in north London, but during the Second World WarOxford was considered a safer place to have babies.When he was eight, his family moved to St Albans, a town about 20 miles north of London.At eleven Stephen went to St Albans School, and then on to University College, Oxford, his father’s old college. Stephen wanted to do Mathematics, although his father would have preferred medicine.Mathematics was not available at University College, so he did Physics instead.After three years and not very much work he was awarded a first class honours degree in Natural Science.Stephen then went on to Cambridge to do research in Cosmology, there being no-one working in that area in Oxford at the time.His supervisor was Denis Sciama, although he had hoped to get Fred Hoyle who was working in Cambridge.After gaining his Ph.D.he became first a Research Fellow, and later on a Professorial Fellow at Gonville and Caius College.After leaving the Institute of Astronomy in 1973 Stephen came to the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, and since 1979 has held the post of Lucasian Professor of Mathematics.The chair was founded in 1663 with money left in the will of the Reverend Henry Lucas, who had been the Member of Parliament for the University.It was first held by Isaac Barrow, and then in 1663 by Isaac Newton.Stephen Hawking has worked on the basic laws which govern the universe.With Roger Penrose he showed that Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity implied space and time would have a beginning in the Big Bang and an end in black holes.These results indicated it was necessary to unify General Relativity with Quantum Theory, the other great Scientific development of the first half of the 20th Century.One consequence of such a unification that he discovered was that black holes should not be completely black, but should emit radiation and eventually evaporate and disappear.Another conjecture is that the universe has no edge or boundary in imaginary time.This would imply that the way the universe began was completelyHis many publications include The Large Scale Structure of Spacetime with G F R Ellis, General Relativity: An Einstein Centenary Survey, with W Israel, and 300 Years of Gravity, with W Israel.Stephen Hawking has two popular books published: his best seller A Brief History ofProfessor Hawking has twelve honorary degrees, was awarded the CBE in 1982, and was made a Companion of Honour in 1989.He is the recipient of many awards, medals and prizes andStephen Hawking continues to combine family life (he has three children and one grandchild), and his research into theoretical physics together with an extensive programme of travel and public lectures.3.Humphry Davy, a woodcarver’s son, was born in Penzance in 1778. After being educated in Truro, Davy was apprenticed to a Penzance surgeon.In 1797 he took up chemistry and was taken on by Thomas Beddoes, as an assistant at his Medical Pneumatic Institution in Bristol.Here he experimented with various new gases and discovered the anesthetic effect of laughing gas (nitrous oxide).Davy published details of his research in his book Researches, Chemical and Philosophical (1799).This led to Davy being appointed as a lecturer at the Royal Institution.He was a talentedIn 1806 Davy published On Some Chemical Agencies of Electricity. The following year he discovered that the alkalis and alkaline earths are compound substances formed by oxygen unitedwith metallic bases.He also used electrolysis to discover new metals such as potassium, sodium,Davy was now considered to be Britain’s leading scientist and in 1812 was knighted by George Ⅲ.With his assistant, Michael Faraday, Davy travelled abroad investigating his theory ofIn 1815 Humphry Davy invented a safety lamp for use in gassy coalmines, allowing deep coal seams to be mined despite the presence of firedamp (methane).This led to some controversy as George Stephenson, working in a colliery near Newcastle, also produced a safety lamp thatOne of Davy’s most important contributions to history was that he encourage manufacturers to take a scientific approach to production.His discoveries in chemistry helped to improve several industries including agriculture, mining and tanning.Sir Humphry Davy died in 1829.4.Leonardo da Vinci(b.1452, Vinci, Republic of Florence [now in Italy]—d.May 2, 1519, Cloux, Fr.), Italian painter, draftsman, sculptor, architect, and engineer whose genius, perhaps more than that of any other figure, epitomized the Renaissance humanist ideal.His Last Suppe (1495-1497) and Mona Lisa (1503-1506) are among the most widely popular and influential paintings of the Renaissance.His notebooks reveal a spirit of scientific inquiry and a mechanical5.Madam Curie is a French professor of physics.She was born in Poland in 1867.In 1891 she went to study in Paris University because at that time women were not admitted to universities in Poland.When she was studying in Paris, she lived a poor life, but she worked very hard.In 1895 she married Pierre Curie, and then they worked together on the research into radioactive matter.They discovered two kinds of radioactive matter—polonium and radium.In 1904 she and her husband were given the Nobel Prize for physics.In 1906 Pierre died, but Marie went on working.She received a second Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1911.So she became the first scientist in the world to win two Nobel Prizes.6.James Watt: British engineer and inventor who made fundamental improvements in the steam engine, resulting in the modern, high-7.Gregor Mendel was an Austrian botanist and founder of the science of genetics.Through years of experiments with plants, chiefly garden peas, he discovered the principle of the8.Archimedes: Greek mathematician, engineer, and physicist.Among the most important intellectual figures of antiquity, he discovered formulas for the area and volume of various geometric figures, applied geometry to hydrostatics and mechanics, devised numerous ingenious mechanisms, such as the Archimedean screw, and discovered the principle of buoyancy.9.Michael Faraday (September 22, 1791—August 25, 1867) was a British scientist(a physicist and chemist) who contributed significantly to the fields of electromagnetism and electrochemistry.

Then ask the students to report their work. Encourage the students to express their different opinions.T: Now,class,please look at the slide. Discuss these questions with your partners. Then I’ll ask some students to report their work.Show the following on the screen.What do you know about infectious diseases?What do you know about cholera?Do you know how to prove a new idea in scientific research?What order would you put the seven in?Just guess.Sample answer 1:S1: Let me try. Infectious diseases can be spread easily. They have an unknown cause and may do great harm to people.S2: People could be exposed to infectious diseases,so may animals,such as bird flu.S3: AIDS,SARS are infectious diseases.S4: Infectious diseases are difficult to cure.Sample answer 2:S1: Cholera is caused by a bacterium called Varian cholera.S2: It infects people’s intestines,causing diarrhea,vomiting and leg cramps.S3: The most common cause of cholera is people eat food or drink water that has been contaminated by the bacteria.S4: Cholera can be mild or even without symptoms,but a severe case can lead to death without immediate treatment.Sample answer 3:S1: I know sth. about it. First we should find the problem. Then,think of a solution.S2: We should collect as much information as possible.S3: Analyzing results is the most important stage.S4: Before we make a conclusion,it is necessary for us to repeat some stages or processes. Sample answer 4:S1: I think “Find a problem” should be the first stage.S2: “Make up a question” should follow th e first stage.S3: “Think of a method”,“Collect results” and “Analyze results” are after that.S4: Of course,before “Make a conclusion”,we should “Repeat if necessary”.T: Well done!When we want to solve some problems,first we should find out the problem,do some research on it,prove your findings,and then make a conclusion. This is a scientific and objective way of researching. Now let’s see how doctor John Snow did his research.Step ⅣReadingLet the students skim the whole passage and try to work out the meanings of the new words and structures using context.T: The effect of cholera in the nineteenth century London was devastating. Many people died without knowing the reason. It was doctor John Snow who saved the people. Please look at the screen. Let’s read the whole passage and find answers to the questions.Show the questions on the screen.1. What conditions allowed cholera develop?2. Why do you think people believed that cholera multiplied in the air without reason?3. What evidence did John Snow gather to convince people that idea 2 was right?Sample answers:S1: The dirty water made the cholera develop quickly.S2: Because people could not understand its cause and could not get it cured. So people imagined that some poisonous gas in the air caused the deaths.S3: He found that many of the deaths were near the water pump while some areas far away from the water pump had no deaths. So when people were asked not to use the water pump,the disease began to slow down. In this way,John Snow had shown that cholera was spread by germs and not in a cloud of gas.Step ⅤText analyzingAsk the students to analyze the text in groups.T: Please look at the chart on the screen. The chart shows that each paragraph of the text explains John Snow’s stages in his research. Please read the text and find out the general idea of each paragraph and match the stage with each paragraph. Discuss it in groups,and then report your answers.Sample answers:S1: My group’s opinion is this: stage one “Find a problem” is expressed in paragraph one. The general idea is like this: John Snow wanted to find the causes of cholera.S2: Our answer is like this: paragraph two expresses the second stage “Make up a question”. The general idea is like this: John Snow wanted to prove which theory was correct.S3: “Think of a method” is the third stage. And it is contained in paragraph th ree. The general idea is like this: John Snow collected data on those who were ill or died and where they got their water. S4: The fourth stage “Collect results” lies in paragraph four. Its general idea is like this: John Snow plotted information on a map to find out where people died or did not die.S5: Our group believe paragraph five contains the fifth stage of John Snow’s research. The general idea is like this: John Snow analysed the water to see if that was the cause of the illness. So this stage is t o “Analyse the results”.S6: The sixth stage is “Repeat if necessary”. It is contained in the sixth paragraph. The general idea is like this: John Snow tried to find other evidences to confirm his conclusion.S7: The last paragraph is about the seventh sta ge “Make a conclusion”. Its general idea is like this: The polluted dirty source of drinking water was to blame for the cause of the London cholera. Ask some students to put their answers in the chart.T: Now class. Can you tell me what style of the passage belongs to?S1: I think it is a report.T: Here are three pieces of writing. They belong to different writing styles. Now read and find out what style each piece belongs to.Show the chart and three pieces of writing on the screen.Making WayOnce Goethe(歌德),the great German poet,was walking in a park. He was thinking about something when he noticed he came to a very,very narrow road. Just at that time,a young man came towards him from the other end of the road. It was too narrow for both of them to passthrough at the same time. They stopped and looked at each other for a while. Then the young man said rudely,“I never make way for a fool.” But Goethe smiled and said,“I always do.” Then he turned back quickly and walked towards the end of the road.Weather ReportHere’s the weather report for the next 24 hours. Beijing will be fine with the temperature from 4 to 13. Tokyo will be fine too and cloudy later in the day. The lowest temperature is l to 8. London will be rainy and windy later in the day. The highest temperature is 8 and the lowest is 4. New York will be sunny and cloudy later in the day. The temperature is 13 to 19.Heart beatingPut your hand to the left side of your chest. Try to feel your heart beating. The heart takes a little rest after each pump or beat. In boys or girls of your age,heart beats about 90 times a minute. A grown-up’s heart beats about 70 or 80 times a minute. But the heartbeat is different in the same person at different times. For example,the heart beats faster during exercise. It is also faster when a person is angry,scared,or excited. During sleep,the heartbeat slows down. Sample answers:S1: I think the first piece “Making A Way” is in a style of creative writing. The second piece belongs to a description style. The third piece belongs to a report style.T: Very good. Now let’s return to our text. Who can tell me the main idea of this passage?S2: I can. Clearly it tells us how John Snow defeated the disease cholera by doing scientific research.StepⅥHomework1. Get more information about some infectious diseases and modern scientists.2.

John Snow was a very famous doctor in London in 19th century. At the time he lived,cholera was the most frightening disease,which killed many thousands of people in the industrial cities of England. Nobody knew the cause of the disease. John Snow believed that cholera was caused by drinking polluted water. He believed that when dirty water from the toilet and drinking water were mixed,it was possible for the illness to be passed from one person to the next. In 1854,he was able to prove that his theory was correct. To do this he approached the problem in a systematic way. He found an outbreak of cholera and studied its effects on a small neighborhood. He gathered information about the drinking habits of the people and used them to justify his theory. He is important because he was the first person to gather information scientifically about a disease in order to find its cause.S2: OK. I’d like to retell Snow’s work in the order of the stages. We know there were seven stages in his research. First Snow,as well as other doctors could not find the cause of the cholera,nor the cure for it. He got interested in two theories. The first suggested that cholera multiplied in the air without reason. The second suggested that people absorbed this disease into their bodies with their meals. He believed in the second theory. So he collected much information to prove it. He did a lot of research and experiments to analyze the results. All the results were the same: It is certain that the dirty water resulted in the disease. At last he could make a conclusion: It was the polluted water that caused the illness.StepⅡPre-readingAsk the students to look at the pictures on pages 7 and 45. And remind them of the common knowledge of “Sun-Centered Theory” and “the Euler path”.T: Today we are going to learn more about science and scientists. There are two pictures of the great scientists and the illustrations of their theory. You can discuss with your partners about them. Then tell me sth. about them.S1: We know the first picture is Copernicus. He was one of the first scientists to use mathematical observations to collect information. He believed the sun is the center of the universe and the earth and other planets went around it. The illustration shows his theory.S2: We guess the second picture is Leonhard Euler. Euler invented a new branch of mathematics —topology by l uck. The chart is about the “Seven Bridges of Konigsberg” and the famous “Euler path”.Step ⅢReadingEncourage the students to get the general ideas of the passages.T: In the last period,we have learned about how Doctor John Snow used seven stages to prove his conclusion and fulfilled his research. This period we will also deal with two scientific reports. Please read the two passages quickly and try to answer the questions on the screen.Show the questions on the screen.1. What’s Copernicus’ fear?2. What’s Euler’s puzzle?3. How did Copernicus prove his theory?4. How did Euler prepare for his research?5. What are their theories?Sample answers:S1: I have the answer. Copernicus found his theory was against the Christian church’s saying. If he spoke out his finding,he would be punished severely.S2: I know Euler’s puzzle. He found that he could cross six of the bridges without going over any of them twice or going back on himself,but he couldn’t cross all seven.S3: Let me answer the third question. Copernicus had thought long and hard about these problems which astronomers had noticed and tried to find an answer. He used all his mathematical calculations to work on these problems. He had collected observations of the stars for over ten years. All his calculations and observations proved that his theory was right.S4: I would like to say something about Euler’s research. The first stage in his research is to find the problem that he could cross six of the bridges without going over any of them twice or going back on himself,but he couldn’t cross all seven. The second stage is to think of a method: He drew a map and used dots and lines to simplify his analysis. Trying and observing over and over again,he found a general rule.S5: Copernicus’ theory can be expressed in this way: The sun is the center of the universe. All planets went around the sun in solar system.S6: I know the answer. I am interested in topology. Euler’s theory is called “The Euler path”. It is expressed like this: If a figure has more than two odd points,you cannot go over it without lifting your pencil from the page or going over a line twice.Step ⅣFurther-readingThis time the students are encouraged to read the two passages carefully and then do the exercises and problems on pages 7 and 46.T: Now class. Please read the two passages again. And discuss the questions on the screen in groups.Show the questions on the screen.1. As a scientist,one should be brave. But Copernicus was afraid of being attacked by theChristian Church. So he had hidden his theory for so many years. What do you think of this?2. Euler was called “the father of modern mathematics”. In what area is topology used today?Sample answers:S1: I think Copernicus was very coward. He should speak out his discovery and let the world know the truth earlier.S2: I don’t agree with you. He was more cautious than coward. If he had published his ideas,he would have been killed just as Bruno who was burnt to death because his theory was against the Christian Church’s.S3: I support you. Every time when a new idea appears,there are always rejections. It’s normal. Scientists should have patience to spread their truth.S4: I don’t think so. Science can never advance unless people have the courage of their beliefs.S5: I agree. As a scientist,you must have the courage to publish your findings. No matter how people oppose it,time will show if your ideas are right or wrong.S6: But I suppose that Copernicus’attitude towards his new theory was proper at that time. It made no sense for him to publish his theory in a hurry. He was just cautious not coward. He should protect himself first.S7: The subway or underground railway.S8: When we study computer lessons,we often hear of the computer topology maps.S9: Maybe telephone nets and electricity nets can adopt topology.T: I quite agree with you. And I am glad you have known so much about the science.StepⅤPracticeFor Exercises 1 and 2 on page 7 and the problems on page 46,encourage the students to fulfill them quickly and correctly. And check the answers together. And then write the following sentences on the blackboard;ask the students to pay attention to the past participle. Guide them to find out their functions in the sentences.Show the following on the screen.1. Nicolas Copernicus was frightened and his mind was confused.2. He placed a fixed sun at the center of the solar system...3. He joined these points together using curved lines...T: Please read the three sentences and tell me what parts of speech the past participles are acting as.A sample answer:In the first sentence,“frightened” and “confused” are acting as predicative. In the second and the third sentence,“fixed” and “curved” are used as attributes.Step ⅥHomework1. Search on the Internet for more information about Copernicus and Euler.2. Prepare for the language study,reviewing the words and expressions in this unit.The Third Period Language StudyTeaching goals 教学目标1.

Unit 1 Great scientistsBrief Statements Based on This UnitThis unit centers on Great scientists, including some scientists both at home and abroad like John Snow and Copernicus.The students should be encouraged to practise talking about these scientists.The whole unit can be divided into seven parts: warming up, reading, listening and speaking, language focusing, reading and writing, grammar,In warming up, there is a quiz for the students to do, which will arouse the students’ interest in knowing about the famous scientists and help the students to know science is very important in our daily life.Group discussion and brainstorming will be used in this period to help the students to communicate with each other using their previous knowledge.In the reading passage, the students will learn about John Snow, who defeats“King Cholera”, and get a general idea about how to examine a new scientific idea.This will help the students to form their own attitude towards science.In learning about language, the students are encouraged to learn the following words and expressions: engine, characteristic, radium, theory, scientific, examine, conclude, analyze repeat, defeat, attend, expose, cure, control, absorb, severe, valuable, blame, immediately, handle, announce, instruct, virus, construction, contribute, positive, movement, backward, complete, enthusiastic, spin, reject, view, steam engine, put forward, draw a conclusion, in addition, link...to..., be strict with, lead to, make sense, point of view.While practising using the language, the students will learn about Copernicus’ Revolutionary Theory, and their skills of reading, speakingIn listening and speaking, more chances will be given to the students to learn about other scientists and their spirit.The students are encouraged to make up their mind to make contributions to science.The students will be asked to write a letter to Copernicus on the basis of the understanding of the text.The letters are sure to be full ofimagination and creativity.Assessment will help the students to look back what they have learned and focus on the difficult and important points.Period 1Period 2Period 3 Listening andPeriod 4Period 6Period 7Knowledge aims:Key words in this unit: engine, characteristic, radium, theory, scientific, examine, conclude, analyze, repeat, defeat, attend, expose, cure, control, absorb, severe,

sth.from doing, lead to, make sense, punish sb.for, suggest doing sth.steam engine, draw a conclusion, link...to..., be strict with, lead to, point of view.Key sentence patterns:1 But he became inspired when he thought about helping ordinary people exposed to cholera.2 He got interested in two theories explaining how cholera killed people.3 Only if you put the sun there did the movements of the other planets in the sky make sense.Grammar in this unit:Ability aims:2.To guEmotion aims:To encourage the students to learn about some great scientists and their great acand change our life.Meanwhile, inspire the students to learn from the scientists and form their positive attitude towards science.Period 1 Welcome to the UnitThe General Idea of This PeriodThe uni t centers on“great scientists”.This is the first period of this unit.During this period, the students should be encouraged to give their previous knowledge of some of the famous scientists, participate in the activities in class and try to get more information from the discussion.They will take part in different forms of activities, including pair work, group work, competition, and quiz.Group competitionwill be carried out all through the class.Words and expressions in this unit will help the students to talk about the topic“great scientists”.So at the beginning of this period, the teacher should spend some time training the students to read them and help the students pronounce them correctly.The students are encouraged tolearn the new words in groups by themselves, using dictionaries and other reference books.Then more time should be given to the students to get familiar with the words and stly, several sentences will be given to the students to help them to know how to use some of the phrases.This unit is about“great scientists”, so from the very beginning, the teacher canfuture.Then the teacher can let the students brainstorm something about great scientists.The students are free to say anything that they know.The students will be quite interested in this topic.This activity gives the students a chance to express their feelings about their favorite scientist.At the same time, this activity can stir the students’ enthusiasm in science.Then the teacher can have the students match the famous scientists with their discoveries, inventions or theories, making sure that they have some common sense about some world-famous scientists.Later the students will be divided into several groups, describe one of the greatis talking about.In this way, the students should learn to organize theirAfter that, the students will feel comfortable to do the quiz in the text.The students should be encouraged to give more information aboutMeanwhile, the students’ interest in scientists and science should be cultivated.So two topic discussion questions, as well as the practiceThe post-class activities are designed to arouse the students’ interest in science and encourage them to“DIY—do it yourself” in their daily life if they have some doubt in some areas.Teaching Important PointsHave the students discuss great scientists.Encourage the students to hold their views about their future career.Understand and learn the following words and expressions: engine, characteristic, radium, theory, scientific, examine, conclude, analyse, repeat, defeat, attend, expose, cure, control, absorb, severe, valuable, blame, immediately, handle, announce, instruct, virus, construction, contribute, positive, movement, backward, complete, enthusiastic, spin, reject, view, steam engine, put forward, draw a conclusion, in addition,Teaching DifficultiesWhat should we do in our daily life to develop our interest and loveTeaching AidsCAI equipment with a Multi-media classroom and other normal

Darwin published The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection in 1859, sparking decades of contentious debate which ultimately led to the universal scientific recog nition of Darwin’s thesis.In later years, he developed his ideas further in monographs on different types of plant and animal life.Notes:Shrewsbury: 什鲁斯伯里[英国英格兰西部城市physician: 内科医生 (注意区分physicist, 物理学家revolutionary: 创新的HMS: (英国)皇家海军舰船 (Her/His Mtreatises: 论文2.Stephen William Hawking was born on 8 January 1942 (300 years after the death of Galileo) in Oxford, England.His parents’ house was in north London, but during the Second World War Oxford was considered a safer place to have babies.When he was eight, his family moved to St Albans, a town about 20 miles north of London.At eleven Stephen went to St Albans School, and then on to University College, Oxford, his father’s old college. Stephen wanted to do Mathematics, although his father would have preferred medicine.Mathematics was not available at University College, so he did Physics instead.After three years and not very much work he was awardeda first class honours degree in Natural Science.Stephen then went on to Cambridge to do research in Cosmology, there being no-one working in that area in Oxford at the time.His supervisor was Denis Sciama, although he had hoped to get Fred Hoyle who was working in Cambridge.After gaining his Ph.D.he became first a Research Fellow, and later on a Professorial Fellow at Gonville and Caius College.After leaving the Institute of Astronomy in 1973 Stephen came to the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, and since 1979 has held the post of Lucasian Professor of Mathematics.The chair was founded in 1663 with money left in the will of the Reverend Henry Lucas, who had been the Member of Parliament for the University.It was first held by Isaac Barrow, and then in 1663 by Isaac Newton.Stephen Hawking has worked on the basic laws which govern the universe.With Roger Penrose he showed that Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity implied space and time would have a beginning in the Big Bang and an end in black holes.These results indicated it was necessary to unify General Relativity with Quantum Theory, the other great Scientific development of the first half of the 20th Century.One consequence of such a unification that he discovered was that black holes should not be completely black, but should emit radiation and eventually evaporate and disappear.Another conjecture is that the universe has no edge or boundary in imaginary time.This would imply that the way the universe began wasHis many publications include The Large Scale Structure of Spacetime with G F R Ellis, General Relativity: An Einstein Centenary Survey, with W Israel, and 300 Years of Gravity, with W Israel.Stephen Hawking has two popular books published: his best seller A Brief History of Time, and his later book, BlackProfessor Hawking has twelve honorary degrees, was awarded the CBEin 1982, and was made a Companion of Honour in 1989.He is the recipient of many awards, medals and prizes and is a Fellow of The Royal Society anStephen Hawking continues to combine family life (he has three children and one grandchild), and his research into theoretical physics together with an extensive programme of travel and public lectures.3.Humphry Davy, a woodcarver’s son, was born in Penzance in 1778. After being educated in Truro, Davy was apprenticed to a Penzance surgeon.In 1797 he took up chemistry and was taken on by Thomas Beddoes, as an assistant at his Medical Pneumatic Institution in Bristol.Here he experimented with various new gases and discovered the anesthetic effect of laughing gas (nitrous oxide).Davy published details of his research in his book Researches, Chemical and Philosophical (1799).This led to Davy being appointed as a lecturer at the Royal Institution.He was a talented teacher and hisIn 1806 Davy published On Some Chemical Agencies of Electricity. The following year he discovered that the alkalis and alkaline earths are compound substances formed by oxygen united with metallic bases.He also used electrolysis to discover new metals such as potassium, sodium, barium,Davy was now considered to be Britain’s leading scientist and in 1812 was knight ed by George Ⅲ.With his assistant, Michael Faraday, DavyIn 1815 Humphry Davy invented a safety lamp for use in gassy coalmines, allowing deep coal seams to be mined despite the presence of firedamp (methane).This led to some controversy as George Stephenson, working in a colliery near Newcastle, also produced a safety lamp that year.Both menOne of Davy’s most important contributions to history was that he encourage manufacturers to take a scientific approach to production.His discoveries in chemistry helped to improve several industries including agriculture, mining and tanning.Sir Humphry Davy died in 1829.4.Leonardo da Vinci(b.1452, Vinci, Republic of Florence [now in Italy]—d.May 2, 1519, Cloux, Fr.), Italian painter, draftsman, sculptor, architect, and engineer whose genius, perhaps more than that of any other figure, epitomized the Renaissance humanist ideal.His Last Suppe (1495-1497) and Mona Lisa (1503-1506) are among the most widely popular and influential paintings of the Renaissance.His notebooks reveal a spirit of scientific inquiry and a mechanical inventiveness that were5.Madam Curie is a French professor of physics.She was born in Poland in 1867.In 1891 she went to study in Paris University because at that time women were not admitted to universities in Poland.When she was studying in Paris, she lived a poor life, but she worked very hard.In 1895 she married Pierre Curie, and then they worked together on the research into radioactive matter.They discovered two kinds of radioactive matter—polonium and radium.In 1904 she and her husband were given the Nobel Prize for physics.In 1906 Pierre died, but Marie went on working.She received a second Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1911.So she became the first scientist in the world to win two Nobel Prizes.6.James Watt: British engineer and inventor who made fundamental improvements in the steam engine, resulting in the modern, high-pressure7.Gregor Mendel was an Austrian botanist and founder of the science of genetics.Through years of experiments with plants, chiefly garden peas, he discovered the principle of the inheritance of characteristics through8.Archimedes: Greek mathematician, engineer, and physicist.Among the most important intellectual figures of antiquity, he discovered formulas for the area and volume of various geometric figures, applied geometry to hydrostatics and mechanics, devised numerous ingenious mechanisms, such as the Archimedean screw, and discovered the principle of buoyancy.9.Michael Faraday (September 22, 1791—August 25, 1867) was a British scientist(a physicist and chemist) who contributed significantly to the fields of electromagnetism and electrochemistry. He also invented the earliest form of the device that was to become the Bunsen burner, which is used almost universally in science laboratories as a convenient sourceMichael Faraday was one of the great scientists in history.Some historians of science refer to him as the greatest experimentalist in the history of science.It was largely due to his efforts that electricity became a viable technology.The SI unit of capacitance, the farad(symbol F) is named after him.。

I guess most of you have enjoyed your holiday. Maybe I should say everyone has enjoyed a scientific life. Why Because you have enjoyed the results of the science and scientists. Now can you tell me the scientists who invented the lights, the gramophone and the computerS1: Edison invented the lights and the gramophone.S2: The first computer was invented by a group of American scientists.StepⅡ Warming upFirst, ask some questions about great scientists. Second, ask all the students to try the quiz and find out who knows the most.T: You know our life is closely related to science and scientists. We benefit a lot from them. Can you name out as many scientists as possible S1: Newton.S2: Watt.S3: Franklin.Sample answers:1. Archimedes, Ancient Greek (287-212 BC), a mathematician.2. Charles Darwin, Britain (1808-1882). The name of the book is Origin of Species.3. Thomas Newcomen, British (1663-1729), an inventor of steam engine.4. Gregor Mendel, Czech, a botanist and geneticist.5. Marie Curie, Polish and French, a chemist and physicist.6. Thomas Edison, American, an inventor.7. Leonardo da Vinci, Italian, an artist.8. Sir Humphry Davy, British, an inventor and chemist.9. Zhang Heng, ancient China, an inventor.10. Stepper Hawking, British, a physicist.Step Ⅲ Pre-readingGet the students to discuss the questions on page 1 with their partners. Then ask the students to report their work. Encourage the students to express their different opinions.T: Now, class, please look at the slide. Discuss these questions with your partners. Then I’ll ask some students to r eport their work. Show the following on the screen.What do you know about infectious diseasesWhat do you know about choleraDo you know how to prove a new idea in scientific researchWhat order would you put the seven in Just guess.Sample answer 1:S1: Let me try. Infectious diseases can be spread easily. They have an unknown cause and may do great harm to people.S2: People could be exposed to infectious diseases, so may animals,such as bird flu.S3: AIDS, SARS are infectious diseases.S4: Infectious diseases are difficult to cure.Sample answer 2:S1: Cholera is caused by a bacterium called Varian cholera.S2: It infects people’s intesti nes, causing diarrhea, vomiting and leg cramps.S3: The most common cause of cholera is people eat food or drink water that has been contaminated by the bacteria.S4: Cholera can be mild or even without symptoms, but a severe case can lead to death without immediate treatment.Sample answer 3:S1: I know sth. about it. First we should find the problem. Then,think of a solution.S2: We should collect as much information as possible.S3: Analyzing results is the most important stage.S4: Before we make a conclusion, it is necessary for us to repeat some stages or processes.Sample answer 4:S1: I think "Find a problem" should be the first stage.S2: "Make up a question" should follow the first stage.S3: "Think of a method","Collect results"and "Analyze results" are after that.S4: Of course, before "Make a conclusion", we should "Repeat if necessary".T: Well done! When we want to solve some problems, first we should find out the problem, do some research on it, prove your findings, and then make a conclusion. This is a scientific and objective way of researching. Now let’s see how doctor John Snow did his research.Step Ⅳ ReadingLet the students skim the whole passage and try to work out the meanings of the new words and structures using context.T: The effect of cholera in the nineteenth century London was devastating. Many people died without knowing the reason. It was doctor John Snow who saved the people. Please look at the screen. Let’s read the whole passage and find answers to the questions.Show the questions on the screen.1. What conditions allowed cholera develop2. Why do you think people believed that cholera multiplied in the air without reason3. What evidence did John Snow gather to convince people that idea2 was rightSample answers:S1: The dirty water made the cholera develop quickly.S2: Because people could not understand its cause and could not get it cured. So people imagined that some poisonous gas in the air caused the deaths.S3: He found that many of the deaths were near the water pump while some areas far away from the water pump had no deaths. So when people were asked not to use the water pump, the disease began to slow down. In this way, John Snow had shown that cholera was spread by germs and not in a cloud of gas.Step Ⅴ Text analyzingAsk the students to analyze the text in groups.T: Please look at the chart on the screen. The chart shows that each paragraph of the text explains John Snow’s stages in his research. Please read the text and find out the general idea of each paragraph and match the stage with each paragraph. Discuss it in groups, and then report your answers.ParagraphsStagesGeneral ideasSample answers:S1: My group’s opinion is this: stage one "Find a problem" is expressed in paragraph one. The general idea is like this: John Snow wanted to find the causes of cholera.S2: Our answer is like this: paragraph two expresses the second stage "Make up a question". The general idea is like this: John Snow wanted to prove which theory was correct.S3: "Think of a method" is the third stage. And it is contained inparagraph three. The general idea is like this: John Snow collected data on those who were ill or died and where they got their water.S4: The fourth stage "Collect results" lies in paragraph four. Its general idea is like this: John Snow plotted information on a map to find out where people died or did not die.S5: Our group believe paragraph five contains the fifth stage of John Snow’s research. The general idea is like this: John Snow analysed the water to see if that was the cause of the illness. So this stage is to "Analyse the results".S6: The sixth stage is "Repeat if necessary". It is contained in the sixth paragraph. The general idea is like this: John Snow tried to find other evidences to confirm his conclusion.S7: The last paragraph is about the seventh stage "Make a conclusion". Its general idea is like this: The polluted dirty source of drinking water was to blame for the cause of the London cholera. Ask some students to put their answers in the chart.ParagraphStagesGeneral ideas1Find a problemThe causes of cholera2Make up a questionThe correct or possible theory3Think of a methodCollect data on where people were ill and died and where they got their water4Collect resultsPlot information on a map to find out where people died or did not die5Analyse the resultsAnalyse the water to see if that is the cause of the illness6Repeat if necessaryFind other evidences to confirm his conclusion7Make a conclusionThe polluted dirty source of drinking water was to blame for the cause of the London choleraT: Now class. Can you tell me what style of the passage belongs to S1: I think it is a report.T: Here are three pieces of writing. They belong to different writing styles. Now read and find out what style each piece belongs to.Show the chart and three pieces of writing on the screen.ReportDescriptionCreative writingFormal language with few adjectivesVivid use of words with similes and metaphorsVivid use of language and more informal styleNo speech exceptquotationsNo speech except to help the descriptionSpeech to show feelings, reactions etc.Not emotionalEmotional to describe atmosphereEmotional to describe feelingsOnly one main characterNo charactersMay have several charactersFactualNot factual but imaginativeImaginative but can be based on factStructural according to experimental methodNot structuredBeginning, middle, endPast tense and passive voicePast tensePast tenseMaking WayOnce Goethe(歌德), the great German poet,was walking in a park. He was thinking about something when he noticed he came to a very, very narrow road. Just at that time, a young man came towards him from the other end of the road. It was too narrow for both of them to pass through at the same time. They stopped and looked at each other for a while. Then the young man said rudely,"I never make way for a fool." But Goethe smiled and said,"I always do." Then he turned back quickly and walked towards the end of the road.Weather ReportHere’s the weather report for the next 24 hours. Beijing will be fine with the temperature from 4 to 13. Tokyo will be fine too and cloudy later in the day. The lowest temperature is l to 8. London will be rainy and windy later in the day. The highest temperature is 8 and the lowest is4. New York will be sunny and cloudy later in the day. The temperature is 13 to 19.HeartbeatingPut your hand to the left side of your chest. Try to feel your heartbeating. The heart takes a little rest after each pump or beat. In boys or girls of your age, heart beats about 90 times a minute. A grown-up’s heart beats about 70 or 80 times a minute. But the heartbeat is different in the same person at different times. For example, the heart beats faster during exercise. It is also faster when a person is angry,scared, or excited. During sleep, the heartbeat slows down.Sample answers:S1: I think the first piece "Making A Way" is in a style of creative writing. The second piece belongs to a description style. The third piece belongs to a report style.T: Very good. Now let’s return to our text. Who can tell me the main idea of this passageS2: I can. Clearly it tells us how John Snow defeated the disease cholera by doing scientific research.StepⅥ Homework1. Get more information about some infectious diseases and modern scientists.2. Finish the Exercises 1, 2, 3 on pages 3 and 4.人教版高中英语必修5《Unit 1 Great scientists》教案2教学准备教学目标1.Students learn some new words and expressions to describe people ,especially famous persons;2.Students are encouraged to give more information about famous persons who they are familiar:3.

Then they will be helped to read a narration about John Snow fighting cholera. They shall learn the text by reading and underlining, reading to finish the table, making a diagram of the text JOHN SNOW DEFEATS “KING CHOLERA” and retelling the text in their own words with the help of the diagram above.Objectives■To help students learn to describe people■To help students learn to read a narration about John Snow■To help students better understand “Great scientists”■To help students learn to use some important words and expressions■To help students identify examples of “The Past Participle (1) as the Predicative & attribute”in the textFocusAidsMultimedia facilities, tape-recorder, photos, diagramsProcedures1. Warming up⑴Warming up by definingGood morning, class. I am glad to see you on this special day, the day when you become a senior two student. I am happy to be your teacher of English.Today we are going to read about a certain scientist. But first let’s define the word “scientist”. What is a scientist?⑵Warming up by asking and answering questions about scienceTo begin with, work in groups of four and find out as many scientists as possible and their contributions. They can be both Chinese and foreign scientists, living or dead.⑶Warming up by talking about t op honor for two Chinese scientistsHello, everyone. Nice meeting you here. You are now a senior two student. Some of you will be a scientist in the future. But have you ever heard that Yuan Longping, director-general of the China National Hybrid Rice Research and Development Centre in central China's Hunan Province and Bai Chunli, vice-president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing were formally introduced to the academy on April 28, 2007 at a global meeting of US academy members and foreign associates.●Yuan Longping, director-general of the China National Hybrid Rice Research and Development Centre in Central China's Hunan Province and Bai Chunli, vice-president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing were formally introduced to the academy last Saturday at a global meeting of US academy members and foreign associates.Yuan, 77, dubbed the "father of hybrid rice" for his extraordinary contributions toward developing high-yield rice, is a household name in China.With more than half of China's paddy fields growing Yuan's rice, his scientific breakthrough has fed millions of people in the world's most populous country.His "super rice" has also been introduced to more than 20 other countries.●Bai, 52, is considered to be a leading expert in China's molecular nanostructure and nanotechnology studies."I think the fast development of Chinese science has drawn increased attention from the US academy," Bai said in an interview with China Daily last year shortly after he was elected.2. Pre-reading by sharing opinions on proving a new ideaAnybody might come out with a new idea. But how do we prove it in scientific research? How many stages are there in examining a new idea in scientific research? What are they?Now look at the blackboard to learn about the seven stages put in an order.Could you give an example to illustrate the seven stages?3.

His grandfather, Erasmus Darwin, was a physician, poet and biologist who laid some of the groundwork for the grandson’s revolutionary ideas.Charles attended Christ’s College at Cambridge with initial thoughts of entering the clergy, but soon took up studies in biology, zoology and geology. From 1831 to 1836, he served as a naturalist aboard the HMS Beagle on its scientific mission to South America and the Pacific. Back in England, he published a series of scientific treatises which established his reputation as one of the prominent thinkers of his day. From 1842 onwards, he lived on a country estate in Kent and pursued his studies among itsBy 1844, he had written the initial draft of his groundbreaking treatise on evolution and natural selection. However, he left this work unpublished for several years, preferring to refine and elaborate its core ideas. In 1858, he read a forthcoming paper by a fellow scientist Alfred Russell Wallace whose thesis closely paralleled Darwin’s own unpublished ideas, an event which pushed Darwi n to go public with his own research.Both Wallace’s and Darwin’s papers were presented to the Linnean Society in a famous July, 1858 meeting. Darwin published The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection in 1859, sparking decades of contentious debate which ultimately led to the universal scientific recognition of Darwin’s thesis.In later years, he developed his ideas further in monographs on diffe rent types of plant and animal life.Notes:Shrewsbury: 什鲁斯伯里[英国英格兰西部城市physician: 内科医生(注意区分physicist, 物理学家revolutionary: 创新的HMS: (英国)皇家海军舰船treatises: 论文2.Stephen William Hawking was born on 8 January 1942 (300 years after the death of Galileo) in Oxford, England. His parents’ house was in north London, but during the Second World War Oxford was considered asafer place to have babies. When he was eight, his family moved to St Albans, a town about 20 miles north of London. At eleven Stephen went to St Albans School, and then on to University College, Oxford, his father’s old college. Stephen wanted to do Mathematics, although his father would have prefe rred medicine. Mathematics was not available at University College, so he did Physics instead. After three years and not very much work he was awarded a first class honours degree in Natural Science.Stephen then went on to Cambridge to do research in Cosmology, there being no-one working in that area in Oxford at the time. His supervisor was Denis Sciama, although he had hoped to get Fred Hoyle who was working in Cambridge. After gaining his Ph.D. he became first a Research Fellow, and later on a Professorial Fellow at Gonville and Caius College. After leaving the Institute of Astronomy in 1973 Stephen came to the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, and since 1979 has held the post of Lucasian Professor of Mathematics. The chair was founded in 1663 with money left in the will of the Reverend Henry Lucas, who had been the Member of Parliament for th e University.It was first held by Isaac Barrow, and then in 1663 by Isaac Newton.Stephen Hawking has worked on the basic laws which govern the universe.With Roger Penrose he showed that Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity implied space and time would have a beginning in the Big Bang and an end in black holes. These results indicated it was necessary to unify General Relativity with Quantum Theory, the other great Scientific development of the first half of the 20th Century. One consequence of such a unification that he discovered was that black holes should not be completely black, but should emit radiation and eventually evaporate and disappear. Another conjecture is that the universe has no edge or boundary in imaginary time. This would imply that the way the universe began was completely determined byHis many publications include The Large Scale Structure of Spacetime with G F R Ellis, General Relativity: An Einstein Centenary Survey, with W Israel, and 300 Years of Gravity, with W Israel.Stephen Hawking has two popular books published: his best seller A Brief History of Time, and his later book, Black Holes and BabyProfessor Hawking has twelve honorary degrees, was awarded the CBE in 1982, and was made a Companion of Honour in 1989.He is the recipient of many awards, medals and prizes and is a Fellow of The Royal SocietyStephen Hawking continues to combine family life (he has three children and one grandchild), and his research into theoretical physics together with an extensive programme of travel and public lectures.3.Humphry Davy, a woodcarver’s son, was born in Penzance in 1778. After being educated in Truro, Davy was apprenticed to a Penzance surgeon.In 1797 he took up chemistry and was taken on by Thomas Beddoes, as an assistant at his Medical Pneumatic Institution in Bristol.Here he experimented with various new gases and discovered the anesthetic effect of laughing gas (nitrous oxide).Davy published details of his research in his book Researches, Chemical and Philosophical (1799).This led to Davy being appointed as a lecturer at the Royal Institution.He was a talented teacher and his lectures attractedIn 1806 Davy published On Some Chemical Agencies of Electricity. The following year he discovered that the alkalis and alkaline earths are compound substances formed by oxygen united with metallic bases. He also used electrolysis to discover new metals such as potassium, sodium, barium, strontium, calcium andDavy was now considered to be Britain’s leading scientist and in 1812 was knighted by George Ⅲ.With hisIn 1815 Humphry Davy invented a safety lamp for use in gassy coalmines, allowing deep coal seams to be mined d espite the presence of firedamp (methane).This led to some controversy as George Stephenson, working in a colliery near Newcastle, also produced a safety lamp that year. Both men claimed that they were first to comeOne of Davy’s most important contributions to history was that he encourage manufacturers to take a scientific approach to production.His discoveries in chemistry helped to improv e several industries including agriculture, mining and tanning.Sir Humphry Davy died in 1829.4.Leonardo da Vinci(b.1452, Vinci, Republic of Florence [now in Italy]—d.May 2, 1519, Cloux, Fr.), Italian painter, draftsman, sculptor, architect, and engineer whose genius, perhaps more than that of any other figure, epitomized the Renaissance humanist ideal.His Last Suppe (1495-1497) and Mona Lisa (1503-1506) are among the most widely popular and influential paintings of the Renaissance.His notebooks reveal a spirit of scientific inquiry and a mechani5.Madam Curie is a French professor of physics.She was born in Poland in 1867.In 1891 she went to study in Paris University because at that time women were not admitted to universities in Poland.When she was studying in Paris, she lived a poor life, but she worked very hard.In 1895 she married Pierre Curie, and then they worked together on the research into radioactive matter.They discovered two kinds of radioactive matter—polonium and radium.In 1904 she and her husband were given the Nobel Prize for physics.In 1906 Pierre died, but Marie went on wor king.She received a second Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1911.So she became the first scientist in the world to win two Nobel Prizes.6.James Watt: British engineer and inventor who made fundamental improvements in the steam engine, resulting in the modern, high-7.Gregor Mendel was an Austrian botanist and founder of the science of genetics.Through years of experiments with plants, chiefly garden peas, he discovered the principle of the inheritance of characteristics8.Archimedes: Greek mathematician, engineer, and physicist.Among the most important intellectual figures of ant iquity, he discovered formulas for the area and volume of various geometric figures, applied geometry to hydrostatics and mechanics, devised numerous ingenious mechanisms, such as the Archimedean screw, and discovered the principle of buoyancy.9.Michael Faraday (September 22, 1791—August 25, 1867) was a British scientist(a physicist and chemist) who contributed significantly to the fields of electromagnetism and electrochemistry. He also invented the earliest form of the device that was to bec ome the Bunsen burner, which is used almost universally in scienceMichael Faraday was one of the great scientists in history.Some historians of science refer to him as the greatest experimentalist in the history of science.It was largely due to his efforts that electricity became a viable technology.The SI unit of capacitance, the farad(symbol F) is named after him.。

Then ask the students to report their work. Encourage the students to express their different opinions.T: Now, class, please look at the slide. Discuss these questions with your partners. Then I’ll ask some students to report their work.Show the following on the screen:1. What do you know about infectious diseases?2. What do you know about cholera?3. Do you know how to prove a new idea in scientific research?T: Well done! When we want to solve some problems, first we should find out the problem, do some research on it, prove your findings, and then make a conclusion. This is a scientific and objective way of researching. Now let’s see how doctor John Snow did his research.Step Ⅳ ReadingT: Now lets read the title and the picture and guess what the passage may tell us.T: The effect of cholera in the nineteenth century London was devastating. Many people died without knowing the reason. It was doctor John Snow who saved the people. Please look at the screen. Let’s read the whole passage quickly and find the number below and the relevant happenings in the passage.(CompetitionStep Ⅴ Text analyzingAsk the students to analyze the text in groups.T: Please look at the chart on the screen. The chart shows that each paragraph of the text explains John Snow’s stages in his research. Please read the text and find out the general idea of each paragraph and matchT: Here are three pieces of writing. They belong to different writing styles.

This period we will also deal with a scientific report. Please read the passage quickly and try to answer the questions on the screen.Show the questions on the screen.1. What’s Copernicus’ fear?2. How did Copernicus prove his theory?3. What is his theory?Sample answers:S1: I have the answer. Copernicus found his theory was against the Christian church’s saying. If he spoke out his finding, he would be punished severely.S2: Let me answer the third question. Copernicus had thought long and hard about these problems which astronomers had noticed and tried to find an answer. He used all his mathematical calculations to work on these problems. He had collected observations of the stars for over ten years. All his calculations and observations proved that his theory was right.S3: Copernicus’ theory can be expressed in this way: The sun is the center of the universe. All planets w ent around the sun in solar system.Step Ⅳ Further-readingThis time the students are encouraged to read the two passages carefully and then do the exercises and problems on pages 7.T: Now class. Please read the passage again. And finish EX 1 and then discuss the questions on the screen in groups.As a scientist, one should be brave. But Copernicus was afraid of being attacked by the Christian Church. So he had hidden his theory for so many years. What do you think of this?Sample answers:Q1: 1.I think Copernicus was very coward. He should speak out his discovery and let the world know the truth earlier.2.I don’t agree with you. He was more cautious than coward. If he had published his ideas, he would have been killed just as Bruno who was burnt to death because his theory was against the Christian Church’s.T: I quite agree with you. And I am glad you have known so much about the science.StepⅤ Language Points2.Put forward1) 提出2) 提前He put forward a plan at the meeting.They put forward the date of their wedding by one week反义:put offput down 记下,镇压put out 关掉,熄灭put aside 放在一边put off 推迟, 延期put up 建造, 张贴put on 穿上put away 收好3. conclude vt.vi 结束,作结论,推断The concert concluded with the National Anthem. 音乐会最后以演奏国歌结束。
