have you made any new friends？here i will introduce some friends to you. look at him, who is he? show the picture of albert einstein to the class.s1: albert einstein, a great scientist.t: what is he known for?s2: theory of relativity.t: here is a brief introduction of him. please look at the screen.show the following sentence on the powerpoint.einstein contributed more than any other scientist to the modern vision of physical reality. his special and general theories of relativity are still regarded as the most satisfactory model of the large-scale universe that we have. t: ok. here are some pictures of famous people and quotes from them. please match the pictures with the quotes. this is group work. please discuss with your group members. two minutes later we will check the answers.ask the students to discuss with their group members. two minutes later check the answers with the whole class.suggested answers are shown on the powerpoint:nothing in this world is to be feared…only understood.   (maria curie)genius is one percent inspiration and ninety percent perspiration. (thomas alva edison)it takes a very unusual mind to undertake the analysis of the obvious. (alfred north whitehead)you cannot teach a man anything；you can only help him find it within himself. (galileo galilei)t: ok. i’d like you to explain the quotes. s1: i am very familiar with edison’s genius is one percent inspiration and ninety percent perspiration.t: how do you understand it?s1: everyone needs to work hard to succeed.t: thanks. please remember if you want to become successful, you need to work hard. hard work leads to success.introduce the other quotes in the same way.the explanation of the quotes:imagination is more important than knowledge. ... means that you may know everything, but if you can’t think up new thoughts, no progress will be made.nothing in this world is to be feared ...only understood. ...this is a stretch of an old saying: you only fear the unknown. so marie was right, but still not. she didn’t understand radiation and died of cancer as cause of it, but still when you learn thing, you lose the fear.genius is one percent inspiration and ninety percent perspiration. ...this is a “pun”, but also shows that talent and genius is not all it takes, even really clever people need to work hard to make dreams come trueit takes a very unusual mind to undertake the analysis of the obvious. ...this is a good one. it takes two contrasts obvious and unusual and throws together: that it needs an unusual mind to be able to explain what is obvious. it doesn’t seem to be the truth and this is an oxymoron, but very true.you cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him find it within himself. ...unless one has desire to learn himself you can not help him. only if he himself has inner desire to move ahead you can be of some help to him. galileo may have had a point here.  but it is a very humble view of a teacher.  t: do you know any other quotes about science and thinking?s: yes, i know some.you see, in life, lots of people know what to do, but few people actually do what they know!knowing is not enough, you must take action.—anthony robbinsaction is foundational key to all success.—anthony robbinssuggested answers to q3 && 4.3. sir isaac newton:    the universal law of gravitation        charles darwin:    on the origin of species 4. hard work, imagination, creativity, persistence and curiosity make scientistssuccessful. i’d like to learn the stories of how they succeeded. step ii listeningt: after talking about the scientists, we will listen to the tape.   please try to judge who the famous scientists described   on the tape are. and finish the exercises.after listening, check the answers with the whole class.after checking the answers, ask students what they are interested in. they are requested to write a short paragraph about what they would like to invent, discover, or be. they are given five minutes to finish it.t: what are you interested in s1?s1: i’m interested in biology. i want to be a biologist. i want to make good use of gm to produce more food for people.t: good idea. then write a short passage about your dreams. you should finish it within 5 minutes.five minutes later, show several copies on the projector and check with the whole class. step iii speakingt: boys and girls, from the above exercise i learn that you are interested in different subjects. now i’d like you to play a game. now you will be divided into 5 groups to represent a branch of science. show the five branches biology, maths, chemistry, physics and computer science on the powerpoint.t: you are going to debate each other to see which subject is the most important and useful to society. please refer to the useful expressions. when you debate, please think of enough reasons. you may discuss in your group for three minutes.show the useful expressions on the powerpoint.that’s correct.that’s true.there is no doubt that…it is clear that…it is hard to say.what’s your idea?i doubt that…well, maybe, but…have you thought about…? step ⅳ practicethree minutes later, the debate begins. after the debate, the teacher will sum up.t: i’m glad you have done a very good job. i have to admit all of you are right. every branch of science is very important and useful. i hope in the future you will be great scientists and make contributions to the development of the world.then ask students to do the talking on page82.t: good news for you. a famous scientist is coming to visit our school. would you like to meet him/her?ss: yes.t: luckily you have been chosen to meet and interview him or her. ss: where is the scientist, who is he or she? t: this is just a game. you are going to do pair work. imagine one is the scientist, the other is the student. you are given three minutes to do it. then i will ask some pairs to act it out. now turn your books to page 82 and do the pair work.three minutes later, the students are asked to act out the interview.t: well done. many of you are so interested in scientists’ stories. after class please find more information of your favourite scientists. step ⅴ homeworkfinish the listening exercises on page 81.surf on the internet or use the library to find more about scientists.
