Activity 2: Using the photos, try to predict the answers to the following questions.

2. What kind of place is it, and what does it focus on
3. What kinds of things can you do there
Activity 2: Using the photos, try to predict the answers to the following questions.
1. Where are the people in the conversation going to go
A science museum/centre.
2. What kind of place is it, and what does it focus on
A place for delight, education and inspiration.
Scientific phenomena/discoveries on sound and light.
3. What kinds of things can you do there
Interactive activities to experience/experiment/explore.
Activity 2: Using the photos, try to predict the answers to the following questions.
Predict by using pictures
One way to get more out of your listening is to predict what you will hear. Using the pictures provided and the knowledge you already have, you can guess the kinds of information you should listen for. At times, you may even be able to guess exactly what will be talked about. This will help you focus better when listening, making your listening more effective.
(1) Listen to the conversation to check your prediction in Activity 2.
Take down key words.

While-listening
Activity 3:
(1) Listen to the conversation to check your prediction in Activity 2.
1. Where are the people in the conversation going to go
They are going to a science museum.
2. What kind of place is it, and what does it focus on
It is a science museum that focuses on letting visitors experience science through interactive learning exhibitions.
(1) Listen to the conversation to check your prediction in Activity 2.
3. What kinds of things can you do there
You can probably try different activities to learn about sound, light, reflection, and so on.
For example, you can go to a room with many mirrors facing each other so it looks like there are many copies of you! Or you can play with a big piano on the floor.
(2) Write down the letters (A-E) for the photos in the order that you hear them.

Activity 6: Talk about something more on the scientific museum (Page 7, Activity 5).
The conversation is about the City of Science and Industry, a museum in Paris. Would you like to go to this museum Why or why not
Are there any museums like this in China What other interesting museums are there
Activity 6: Talk about something more on the scientific museum (Page 7, Activity 5).
The conversation is about the City of Science and Industry, a museum in Paris. Would you like to go to this museum Why or why not
Yes.
I would like to go to this museum to see the blue screen. I am curious to know what on earth is going on there and why I can see my blood cells moving around like tiny bright lights. I am sure it will be a lot of fun.
Activity 6: Talk about something more on the scientific museum (Page 7, Activity 5).
The conversation is about the City of Science and Industry, a museum in Paris. Would you like to go to this museum Why or why not
No.
It is not convenient because it is too far from China and there is no need to go so far when we have so many interesting places at home.
We can’t speak French and will have trouble in understanding what to do there.
Activity 6: Talk about something more on the scientific museum (Page 7, Activity 5).
Are there any museums like this in China What other interesting museums are there
Yes, there are, for example, the China Science and Technology Museum in Beijing and the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum.
Activity 7: Talk about the scientific research or experiment that you are interested in.
(1) Brainstorm the scientific research or experiment (Page 7, Activity 6 & 7).
(1) Brainstorm the scientific research or experiment (Page 7, Activity 6 & 7).
Example
What scientific phenomenon is the example about
Do you know the phenomenon Where did you know it
What other scientific research/experiments have you ever done or read about
(1) Brainstorm a scientific research or experiment (Page 7, Activity 6 & 7).
EXAMPLE
Today, I want to talk to you about a very strange phenomenon called a non-Newtonian fluid. You can make it easily using equal parts of water and cornflour, like I have here. A non-Newtonian fluid is strange because you can pour it like a liquid, but if you put any pressure on it, it suddenly becomes hard as concrete.
v. 倾倒
n. 混凝土
非牛顿流体
(1) Brainstorm a scientific research or experiment (Page 7, Activity 6).
EXAMPLE
In fact, it becomes hard enough to stand on. Then, as soon as you take the pressure off, it becomes a liquid again. This shows that it is possible that something can exist as a liquid and a solid at the same time.
n. 固体
(1) Brainstorm a scientific research or experiment (Page 7, Activity 6 & 7).
1. What scientific phenomenon is the example about
A non-Newtonian fluid.
2. Do you know the phenomenon Where did you know it
Yes. In TV programs or books.
3. What other scientific research/experiments have you ever done or read about
For example: the positive and negative charges of molecules.
n. 分子/微粒
(2) Read the expressions to talk about scientific phenomena (Page 7).
EXAMPLE
Today, I want to talk to you about a very strange phenomenon called…
You can make it easily using …
This shows that…
(2) Read the expressions to talk about scientific phenomena (Page 7).
Homework
Make a short presentation about the scientific research or experiment.
Use the example and useful expressions in Activity 7 on page 7 to help you.
