Listening and speaking
Unit 6 Space and beyond
In this class, you will
learn about the definition of the Fermi Paradox.
listen to an interview about a discussion programme and learn to express opinions and hopes.
acquire information concerning the space camp and organise your ideas.
Learning objectives
The Fermi Paradox: according to some calculations, there should be many other civilizations out there, but there is no evidence of these at all. No spacecraft, no radio transmissions, nothing. So, as Fermi said, "Where is everybody "
Discussion programme:
Science, fact or fiction
Lead-in
Activity 1
Listen to the interview and choose the questions discussed.
1. Is there life on other planets
2. What would life on other planets look like
3. Should we use robots to explore space
4. What is the Fermi Paradox
5. Will people ever make contact with life on other planets
Scientist:
Eric Pringle
Science fiction author:
Sophie Ellis
Interviewer: Welcome to our discussion programme, Science, Fact or Fiction . On tonight's show, we'll talk about life on other planets with scientist Eric Pringle, and science fiction author Sophie Ellis. Sophie, can I start with you on a favourite topic for science fiction authors Is there life on other planets
...
Interviewer: Well, let's assume life is out there. What would this life look like
...
Interviewer: I can understand both points of view. It would be wonderful if we could see what they look like. Will humans one day travel to make contact with them

Q1 Is there life on other planets
Answers Sophie: There must be millions of planets like ours, and some could have life 1 ___________________.
Eric: You would think it likely that 2 _____________________________. But that’s 3________________________the Fermi Paradox.

On tonight's show, we'll talk about life on other planets with scientist Eric Pringle, and science fiction author Sophie Ellis. Sophie, can I start with you on a favourite topic for science fiction authors Is there life on other planets
Sophie: I think there definitely is. There must be millions and millions of planets like our Earth out there. And on some of them there will be forms of life, maybe similar to our own.
Interviewer: Eric
Eric: As a scientist, I can't agree with Sophie here. Statistically, you would think it likely that there are forms of life somewhere. But that's without considering the Fermi Paradox.

Q2 What would life on other planets look like
Answers Sophie: Life on other planets won't look like us because 4__________________________________________.
Eric: Because evolution 5 ______________________________________, life on other planets is likely to look like us.
Activity 2
Interviewer: Well, let's assume life is out there. What would this life look like
Sophie: Since conditions on other planets won't be like those on Earth, it isn’t reasonable to think that they will be like us at all. For example, on an ocean planet, they could look like fish. It has even been suggested that on a cloud planet they could look like balloons.
Interviewer: What do you think, Eric
Eric: Well, there's evidence that evolution would work the same way everywhere, so it's actually quite likely that life on other planets would in many ways look like us. Possibly they’re smarter and more advanced.

Q3 Will people ever make contact with life on other planets
Answers Eric: We cannot 6 _______________________,which means it would take more than a lifetime to reach planets where there might be life.
Sophie: Maybe we don't need to travel in straight lines. Perhaps we will be able to 7__________________________________________ to make contact with life on other planets.
Activity 2
Interviewer: I can understand both points of view. It would be wonderful if we could see what they look like. Will humans one day travel to make contact with them
Eric: No, I'm afraid not. This only exists in the imagination of science fiction writers. The fact that we cannot travel faster than light, 300,000 kilometres a second, means that it will take more than a lifetime to reach planets where there might be life.
Interviewer: What’s your opinion, Sophie
Sophie: I take your point, but maybe we won't need to travel in straight lines. Perhaps we will be able to take short cuts, through a “wormhole” in space, for example. The fact is the imagination of science fiction writers has often pointed the way to the future. Just think of all the predictions about space travel made by Arthur C. Clarke.

Sophie: I'm afraid I don't agree that the Fermi Paradox is a problem. Maybe they don't even want to communicate with us, just as we don't want to communicate with mice!
Eric: I admit that this is a possible answer to the Fermi Paradox. But we just don't know at the moment.

Now work in groups of three and act out the interview.

Activity 3
A space camp provides a hands-on educational experience for young people interested in space exploration, covering STEM subjects, astronaut training, teamwork skills and career opportunities.
Space Camp
Activity 4
Work in pairs. Read the passage and answer the questions.
The dramatic scientific developments of recent years have brought space exploration back to public attention. As getting into space is however, still not an easy task, more and more space camps and other places are providing simulated space adventures. The Space Camp, founded in 1982 under NASA, is an educational camp, where children can learn about space travel and astronomy, and even have the chance to have lunch with an astronaut! So far, the camp has inspired hundreds of thousands of young people from the US and from elsewhere around the world. What's more, some of its ex-students have even grown up to become astronauts!
