1. Unit 16 Scientists at work Period1 Warming up & listening academician President of Zhejiang University "Father of China's Aerospace" Director of the Guangzhou Institute of Respiratory Diseases

2. Working in a lab. Doing experiment Scientist is a person who has expert knowledge of one or more sciences. (especially gained through experience).

3. What are the subjects in which you learn science? What can you learn in your science classes? Science physics chemistry biology

4. Warming-up If you want to learn the science subjects well, what should you also do besides the class learning? Through a microscope We can learn the subjects well by ________.

5. Game: What equipment will you choose if you are asked to do experiment in a lab. chemistry physics biology PH indicator flask test tub litmus paper reagent stirring robfilter magnetengine condenser electric wire voltmeter amperemeter sample burette dissector microscope nipper pieces of glass

6. Do you still remember what your teacher often remind you before, when and after you do an experiment? Listen to what Mrs. Zhu is talking to his students for the first time, focusing on the subjects mentioned in the passage. Flames Safety in the lab Experiments Long hair Gases

7. 1.______comes first! 2.______the teacher’s____________. Don’t come in __________________. Students with long hair should _____it ___.Always _______________ your teacher’s instructions and don’t _____ anything _____ your teacher tells you to. Listen to the tape for the second time to write down some key words. Before the experiment: Safety Followinstruction without your teacher tie uplisten carefully to touch unless

8. During the experiment 1. can be very dangerous. You should and carefully it. Never anything. 1.Be careful about the. 2.When working with,make sure your hands are. 3.When anything gets into your mouth or eyes, immediately your eyes. 4.Don’t things or start playing. Gases wavesmelltaste flame electricity dry wash with a lot of water throw

11. Knowing the rules in a lab is very necessary for the sake of our safety. Suppose you are a teacher and you are going to make an announcement to your students to give them some instructions before an experiment.

12. 1.It suddenly starts raining with thunder and lighting.What are the things you should do and what are the things you should not do? 2.You want to do a science experiment in a physics class. Remember the safety instructions from the physics lab and practise them in English. 3.You want to go on a hiking trip in the mountains. What are the things you should do and what are the things you should not do? 4.You want to do a science experiment in a chemistry class. Remember the safety instructions from the chemistry lab and practise them in English. Situations: 1 2 3 4

13. 1. Have a discussion to find out the best rules for the lab and recommend it to the school leader. 2. Have a face-to-face interview with the prize winners or tutors (about science festival). 3. Preview Speaking and try to search for some information about the new inventions and discoveries. Homework:

14. In chemistry we learn about the way different liquids and materials react with each other. back

15. In physics we can learn about the laws of the universe, for example about Newton and the reason why all the things on earth fall down. back

16. In biology we learn about life on earth, for example by looking at the structure of cells. back

17. Situation1: You are in a thunderstorm Dos: If you are outdoors, go home or to a safe place as quickly as possible. Stay indoors if you are at home. Close the windows if you are in a car. Keep your body low to the ground. --- Don’ts: Don’t shelter in small buildings. Don’t stand under trees. Don’t use electrical machines. Don’t take a bath or shower. --- back

18. Physics experiment Dos: Be on time before the experiment starts. Carefully follow all instructions. Check all the instruments to see if they are OK. Keep the lab clean. --- Don’ts: Don’t’ touch the instruments before the experiment starts. Don’t leave the lab without the teacher’s permission. Don’t take anything from the lab. --- back

19. Hiking trip Dos: Wear good shoes and clothes. Bring a backpack. Tell someone else where you are going. Bring water and a map. Watch out for dangers such as snakes. Wear a hat Bring a cell phone. --- Don’t s: Don’t go alone. Don’t take unsafe roads. Don’t go on if you aren’t felling well. --- back

20. Chemistry experiment Dos: Keep chemicals and instruments in order. Keep quiet in the lab. Take good care of the instruments in the lab. Keep the instruments clean and dry. --- Don’ts: Don’t speak loudly. Don’t walk around if you don’t have to. Don’t be late for the experiment. Don’t start without the teacher’s permission. --- back
