2.Now,please look at these pictures,what can you see? What are they doing?
Two students
Some students
An English book called Hamlet,a dictionary and a notebook
Two students
Are doing a physics experiment
Are looking at something through a microscope

5. 3.Give an example of what you learn about for each field of science.
(1) In chemistry __________

(3) In biology __________

6. (1) In chemistry
In chemistry we learn about the way different liquids and materials react(起作用,反应) with each other.For example,if you put a piece of metal into a glass containing a strong acid(强酸),it will dissolve(溶解).

7. (2) In physics
In physics we can learn about the laws of the universe , for example about Newton(牛顿) and the reason why all the things on earth fall down.

8. (3) In biology
In biology we learn about life on earth, for example by looking at the structure of cells（细胞结构）.

MR DENG:Everybody listen carefully! Today Mrs Zhu will explain about the safety instructions for the lab. If you have any questions,you can raise your hand.
MRS ZHU:For experiments that are done in this lab,everybody should remember : Safety comes first! This is very important,because the experiments are fun and very interesting,but we don’t want any accidents. First of all,don’t came in here without your teacher.Once you’re in here,follow your teacher’s instructions.When you come into the lab,students with long hair should tie it up ,or put their hair under their clothes.Always listen carefully to your teacher’s instructions and don’t touch anything unless your teacher tell you to.

13. MR DENG:Can you explain a bit more about doing experiments
GMRS ZHU:Sure .Never put your nose directly into a glass or over a bottle .Gases can be very dangerous. Instead, you should wave some air in your direction and carefully smell it.Never put your fingers into glasses and never taste anything !When working with fire,be careful about the flame.When working with electricity ,make sure your hands are dry. When anything gets into your eyes, immediately wash with a lot of water .Remember that the classroom isn’t a playground.Don’t throw things or start playing.That can be dangerous.
SUN YAO:What about when we leave?
