3. Do you know what other things are in space? the sun the earth the moon the starry sky the spacecraft (Shenzhou 6 blasts) a manned spacecraft a space station

4. the Solar System ( the sun and the nine planets----the Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto)

5. Identifying the things in space the stars ： the planets: man-made objects: the satellites: the sun the Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto spacecraft/ spaceship, man-made satellites … the moon …

6. Group work:comparison the sizethe weightthe category the sun the Earth the moon What are the differences between the earth and the sun? How about the earth and the moon?

7. News Report:talk about Shenzhou 5 and 6 SZ-6 lands safely after successful mission BEIJING, Oct. 17 (Xinhua) -- The re- entry capsule of China's Shenzhou-6 spacecraft, carrying taikonauts Fei Junlong and Nie Haisheng, landed on earth safely at 4:33 a.m. Monday following a successful five-day flight two years after China put the first Chinese national flag in space.

Astronauts Fei Junlong and Nie Haisheng were given a clean bill of health after the re- entry capsule of their Shenzhou VI spacecraft back to Earth on a parachute, ending up in Inner Mongolia. They landed just one kilometer away from the present spot after a 115-hour-and-32- minute spaceflight, which was more than five times that of China ’ first manned spaceflight two years ago.

9. Some questions: 1.When did Chinese send up Shenzhou 5 and 6? 2.Where did Shenzhou 6 land? 3.How many Chinese have already been into space since Shenzhou 5? 4.How long was the spaceflight for Shenzhou 6 ? What about Shenzhou 5? 5.Who was sent into space in Shenzhou 6? Are Chinese very proud of them? Why?

10. Discussion in groups: Why do people send up man- made satellites or spacecraft into space? If you are interested in space and you want to be a scientist on space, what should you do now?
