(阿基米德)Warming up:1. Which scientist discovered that objects in water are lifted up by a force that helps them float?Ancient Greek
(287-212BC)A mathematicianCharles Darwin2. Who wrote a book explaining how animals and plants developed as the environment changed?the Origin of SpeciesWarming up:“father of modern biology”3. Who invented the first steam engine? Thomas Newcomen, British (1663--1729) He improved the first steam pump built by Thomas Savery in 1698 and turned it into a steam engine for taking water out of mines in 1712. James Watt improved it still further in the 1770sThomas NewcomenWarming up:Gregor Mendel, Czech (1822- 1884) He grew pea plants and developed ideas on heredity(遗传学) and inherited (继承,承传) characteristics. Between1856-- 1863 he grew 28,000 pea plants.Gregor Mendel4. Who used peas to show how physical characteristics are passed from parents to their children?Warming up:Marie CurieWarming up:5.

Who was the painter that studied dead bodies to improve his painting of people? Warming up: Sir Humphry Davy, British (1778- 1829) He did research into different gases and discovered the medicinal value of nitrous(含氮的) oxide(氧化物) (or laughing gas) as an anaesthetic(麻醉剂). In 1815 he developed a safety lamp for miners. Humphry Davy8. Who invented a lamp to keep miners safe underground?Warming up: Zhang Heng, Chinese (78- 139) He invented the first seismograph(测震 仪、地震仪) to indicate in the direction of an earthquake. It was in the shape of a cylinder(圆筒形) with eight dragonheads round the top, each with a ball in its mouth. 9. Who invented the earliest instrument to tell people where earthquakes happened?Warming up:seismograph Stephen Hawking, British (1942--) He has worked in astronomy and studied black holes in space. He has shown that black holes do not only absorb everything around them but, from time to time, throw out matter as well. 10. Who put forward a theory about black holes?Warming up:Pre-reading:infectious diseases :
They can be spread to other people.
They have an unknown cause.
They are difficult to cure.
They need public health care to solve them.Pre-reading:Skimming::Who was the great scientist in the passage and what was the deadly disease of its day?John Snow
choleraCareful Reading:John Snow was an doctor in London who Queen Victoria as her personal . He thought about helping ordinary people to cholera. Though the cause and the of it were unknown, he wanted to face
the and solve the problem. para.1expertattendedphysicianexposedcurechallengeCareful Reading:What were the two theories about the cause of cholera?
Which did John Snow want to prove?
What was his method of doing the research?
…multiplied… …victims…
…absorb… The second one.To gather information in two particular streets.para.2&3Careful Reading:para.4What did he do with the results of his enquiry?
What valuable clue did he get about the cause of the disease?
What might be the cause?
Marked on a map…Many of the deaths…
…had no deaths.It seemed that the water was to blame for cholera.A map of Broad StreetWhat method did he use?Broad StreetMany deaths happened here.No death happened here.The water from the pump was to blame.Public houseParagraphs 3+4Careful Reading:para.5Why did he tell people to remove the handle from the pump?
What happened after the handle was removed?
So that ……slowed downCareful Reading:
para.6&7Where did the woman live and what did she had delivered to her house every day?
What did their deaths suggest?
What measures did John Snow take to prevent the disease from spreading?Away from Broad Street
Water from the pumpThe polluted water carried the virus..suggested that…be examined
…were instructed not to expose…to…Careful ReadingFinish the chart Find a problem
2. Make a question
3. Think of a method
4. Collect results
5. Analyse result
6. Find supporting
evidence
7. Draw a conclusion
---------What causes cholera? --------Which theory is correct? --------Gather information when another
outbreak hit London in 1854 ----------Make a map to find out where
people died or did not died
----------Look into the source of water
and analyse the water
--------- Find supporting evidence from
two other deaths
---------The polluted water carried
the virus What should we pay attention to in our daily
life in order not to get infected with all these
infectious diseases? Heat the food left overnightCook raw food thoroughlyWash hands oftenKeep away from flieschoose fresh sea foodKeep the kitchen cleanDispose rubbish properly.Drink boiled waterDiscussion
