Step 1Step 2Step 3Step 4 Lead –in1. Show some pictures 1) Director of the Guangzhou Institute of Respiratory Diseases 2) President of Zhejiang University 3) "Father of China's Aerospace" ★Scientist is a person who has expert knowledge of one or more sciences. (especially gained through experience). 2. Ask some questions about their study Are you getting on well with your study these day Do you like those subjects such as chemistry, physics Why Do you like doing experiments 3. When you are talking about studying, almost all of you think that studying can only happen in the classroom, and it only means listening to the teachers’ explanation. But there can be many means to study. For example, studying in the lab, reading the books by yourselves. Now turn to Page22, and try to describe the four pictures listed in your textbook.Warming up1. Open your books, page 22, look at the four pictures.What do you see in each picture, what is it about Can you give the names of the subjects Can you use your own words to give us some examples of what you learn about for each field of science Picture 1 shows Ss at work in a chemistry lab. Picture 2 shows an English book called Hamlet, a dictionary and a notebook. Picture 3 shows two Ss doing an experiment. Picture 4 shows Ss looking at something through a microscope.II. After describing the pictures, please discuss the following questions.1. What English words do you think of for each subject of science in the school science physics biologychemistry2. What are the subjects in which you study science about Chemistry gas solid liquid change Physics gravity electricity force power sound Biology mental cell germ plant animal being living thing3. Work in groups, and discuss the question Give an example of what you learn about for each field of science.1) In chemistry we learn about the way different liquids and materials react with each other.2) In physics we learn about the laws of the universe, for example, about Newton and the reason why all things on earth fall down.3) In the biology we learn about life on earth, for example, by looking at the structure of cells.4) Talk about the experiment that impresses you most:The following questions may help you:Where did you have your last experiment What was the purpose of it What did you need to carry out the experiment How did you feel Did you learn anything new from it 5) When you’re doing experiment in a lab, what should you pay attention to Student1: We shouldn't’t enter the lab without a teacher.Student2: We should follow the teacher’s instructions. Student3: Don’t touch anything without teacher’s permission.Students: ----- Safety comes first!Listening1. Pre-listening1) We have been talking about experiments, but when we are doing experiments, what should we pay attention to Think over, I’ll collect your answers. (all kinds of answers)2) In the listening text, we will hear a teacher, Mr. Deng who is visiting the chemistry lab with a group of students. Mr. Zhu, the chemistry teacher gives the students instructions about what to do and what not to do.Listen carefully, and try to remember the safety instructions.(Play the tape two or three times for the students to finish the exercises )2. Listening 1) Listen to the tape. Tick the things that Mrs. Zhu talks about.( √ ) safety in the lab ( ) gloves (√ ) long hair ( √ ) experiments ( ) shoes ( ) liquids ( ) car accidents (√ ) gases (√ ) flames 2) Listen carefully and answer the following questions. (1) What is the most important thing students should remember Safety comes first!(2) What is the first thing students should do when they come into the lab Follow the teacher’s instructions.(3) Why should students be careful smelling from bottles Bottles may contain dangerous gases. (4) What is to be done when anything gets into your eyes Immediately wash your eyes with a lot of water.(5) What should students do before leaving the lab Clear everything away and leave the classroom neat and clean.

Fill in the blanksBenjamin Franklin was a famous American scientist. In June 1752, he did a kite experiment to prove that lightning and electricity were the same. He made a kite, which could attract lightning. The kite was made of silk so that it would not tear too soon. He fixed a very sharp piece of metal and then fastened a key to the end of the long string and finally he tied a silk ribbon to the string, just above the key. When a thunderstorm appeared, he went to a shed in the field and flew the kite to the sky. Soon he saw the hairs on the string stand up because the string got charged. He brought his finger to the string and felt a light but clear electric shock. With the help of a key and a condenser, he was able to collect a great deal of electricity.4.
