一、教学设计与说明
1. 教学目标
本课为本单元的第六课时，学生通过该课时的学习，能通过回顾钟扬、霍金 和富兰克林所面对的困难和他们的应对，梳理三位科学家的精神品质；能通过将 科学家所遇到的困难根据其类型分类，并梳理相应的精神品质，理解科学家的工 作和所应具备的精神品质；能通过分享自身科学探索的经历，发现自己或同伴身 上所具备的科学家品质；能通过讨论单元大作业评价量规中的具体细节，理解单 元大作业的要求。
2. 设计思路
本课为思辨课，旨在梳理和回顾教材 Reading A、Reading B 和视听说板块中 所涉及的内容。首先，教师引导学生通过采访活动回顾并梳理钟扬、霍金和富兰 克林遭遇的困难及其应对困难的态度，总结三位科学家的精神品质；其次，教师 引导学生将科学家所遭遇的困难进行分类，并思考应对该类型的困难所需的重要 品质，帮助学生更深入地理解科学家工作的特点与所应具备的品质。然后，通过 播放教材视频片段，鼓励学生思考科学家精神的体现范围，并引导学生通过分享 自己或周围人身上体现科学家品质的小故事，理解科学家精神广泛存在于每个人 身上的道理。最后，带领学生熟悉单元大作业的评价量规，并通过讨论其中的关 键信息，理解单元大作业的评价要求。
作业要求：写一个 60 字左右的语段，描述个人科学探索过程中克服困难的 一个经历。同时，在小组内继续讨论单元大作业的评价量规，并开始设计单元大 作业。
