Task 2 Complete the passage with the correct forms of the words below.
The scientist's main task is to discover how things work in the universe. But few scientists have placed themselves under the __________. So even though the ______ scientific method, which mainly includes hypotheses, data collection, and statistical analysis, is written down, the method by which scientists come to ____ conclusions is hard to identify. Two of the essential qualities a scientist needs to have seem to be curiosity and creativity. People who are curious usually have a mixture of seemingly ___________ desires: They are looking for originality and yet they also want everything in its proper place. To settle the conflict between statistics and ______, scientists often have to be creative, and think outside the box-approach the problem from different directions. They must have a vivid imagination and a strong intuition in order for new _______ to be made. It echoes something the __________ Carl Sagan once said. He believes that every child "starts out as a scientist" and every child is ______ with the "sense of wonder and awe".

Task 2 Fill in each blank with a word or expression that introduces
a predicative clause.
Science is simply ____ you can do. And doing science makes you a scientist! So, what do scientists do Actually, what matters is not only _____ they observe in the world around them and what questions they ask, but also _____ they use evidence or data to answer the questions. They identify useful data and take new measurements. Some of the key issues that scientists face are ____ calculations they do and ____ they analyse their data to draw conclusions about the questions they ask. The final issue, which many believe to be the most important, is _____ they need to communicate their results. This is ______ they want everyone to benefit from their work! It seems _______ science is all around us. You see, by doing science, scientists get a better understanding of the world around them and share that understanding with the whole world.

can you use them Did you use any of them in your language activities
◎ Do you think the "asking questions" strategy was useful in understanding
the texts
◎ What problems did you or your friends have with this unit How did you
solve the problems What advice did you give each other
◎ Overall, I thought this unit was ○inspiring ○interesting
○so-so ○difficult.
目标二: To think outside the box and create an unusual invention.
Most great scientists have the ability to see the world in ways that other people do not, and to come up with new ideas that other people have never thought of. In many cases, this has caused other people to think that they are crazy at first. However, that thinking ability is important to their creative process.
In this project, you are going to create an unusual invention.
Activity 1: Discuss these questions in groups.
1. What is the purpose of each invention
2. Why is the invention unusual
3. Choose one of the inventions, and
brainstorm as many reasons as you
can to explain how and why the
invention is useful.
Activity 2: Finish the tasks.
write down ideas for the invention
serve as the presenter for the product/invention
make props and pictures for the invention
Task 1: Assign group members to prepare the following:
Task 2: Create your product and present it to your class.
EXAMPLE
Presenter: Does your goldfish suffer from low self-confidence Is he afraid to go out into deep water Do female goldfish refuse to return his calls Then you can buy him our new Goldfish Shark-Fin! For just 999 yuan, you can turn your goldfish into a real go-getter!
Woman: Since I bought the Goldfish Shark-Fin for my Henry, he has turned into a new fish! Now he swims with the big fish! I'm so proud of him!
Presenter: You too can change the life of your fish! For just 999 yuan! Hurry! Buy it today!
Task 3: As a class, vote on the best product/invention.
Presenter: Do you have trouble getting to class on time Feel tired of walking to work Do you need some more zip in your step Then try our new Rocket Roller Skates. Just strap on the rocket pack, put on your AI self-driving roller skates, and you're off!
Man: Since I bought the Rocket Roller Skates. I am never late for anything. And the AI self-driving system is a dream! I can even take a nap while zipping through traffic. It's such a dream!
Presenter: You don't ever have to be late again! For just 999 yuan! Hurry! Buy it today before supplies run out!

Activity 3: After you watch Discuss these questions in groups.
1 Of the explorations in the video, which seems the most important
Which seems the most interesting Why
2 Why is it important to explore, in your opinion
3 How would you like to explore our world Why
Suggested answers:
1 The most important is the one with the butterflies, because butterflies are easily affected by climate and pollution, and so their lives can tell us a lot about how the world is doing. The most interesting is the cave diving where they found the animal bones. It just seems so strange and mysterious, and one would not expect to find bones there.
2 I think it is important to explore because exploration is a part of human growth, both as an individual and society. Through exploration, we develop ourselves. Our interests and curiosity cause us to learn, to improve, and to be better.
3 I would like to visit places with my camera and take photos of interesting places and people, as I enjoy photography and love travelling and finding out about new cultures.
1. Recall some key words and phrases in this unit.
2. Show your unusual invention to your classmates.
3. Why is it important to explore
