Listening
Look at the photos below, and discuss in groups what these activities have to do with science.
The photos above are related to the conversation you will hear. Using the photos, try to predict the answers to the following questions.
1. Where are the people in the conversation going to go
2. What kind of place is it, and what does it focus on
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.
It is a science museum that focuses on letting visitors experience science through interactive learning exhibitions.
They are going to a science museum.

1 In groups, discuss some stories about great scientists.
2 Using these stories as a basis, discuss the following questions:
Apart from being clever, what are the most important personal qualities a scientist must have to be successful
How do these stories illustrate the scientific spirit
3 Now work by yourself to write an essay about the scientific spirit.
Writing an essay about the scientific spirit.
Today, I want to talk to you about the positive and negative charges of molecules. We can demonstrate how these interact through a simple experiment using milk, dish soap, and food colouring. First, cover the bottom of a shallow plate with milk. Now add two or three drops of different liquid food colouring to the centre of the milk. They should form one large dark puddle in the middle of the milk. Now, dip a cotton swab into dish soap, and place it into the middle of the food colouring.
Sample
You will see the colours quickly move to escape from the soap, making interesting and beautiful patterns. This happens because the dish soap molecules have a strong negative charge, and the milk molecules have a strong positive charge. Like magnets, these molecules are attracted to each other, and so they appear to move around on the plate, taking the food colouring with them, making it look like the colours are quickly moving to escape from the soap.
