16、Teaching procedures & ways 教学过程与方式Step Lead-inThe purpose of this part is to let the students know and get familiar with the new words in INTRODUCTION: expand, contract, mixture, substance, oxygen and electricity. First, write down the words on the black-board, and then teach them the meaning of eac

17、h word by questioning.T: Hello, everyone! Do you know the program Lucky 52 on CCTV?Ss: Yeah!T: OK, now suppose Im Li Yong, and you are competitors. Here are six words on the blackboard. What you should do is to guess the meanings of them. If you cant express them in English, you may say in Chinese.

18、The quicker, the better. Are you clear?Ss: Yes. T: Listen. What do we take in when we breathe?S1: Air.T: Right. But not exact. S2: 氧气。T: Right. In English, it is called “oxygen”. We need oxygen to keep alive. And without it, there will be no life on this planet. OK, another question. What do we call

19、 it when we put sugar, eggs, and milk together, or we mix them together?S2: We call it mixture.T: Good. All the things that are mixed together can be called mixture. Next one, we can use one word to stand for all the things around us, which includes air, water, stone, wood, glass, iron and so on. Wh

20、at is this word?S3: Substance.T: Right. Next, what will happen when water turns into ice?S4: Liquid will turn into solid.T: Right. Besides this, will it have some change in size?S5: Yes. It will become larger.T: Yeah! What do we call this change?S6: Its called “expand”.Teacher can use body language

21、to express the meaning of “expand”.T: Now, the last one. Whats the opposite meaning of “expand”? S7: Is it “contract”?T: You are right. The meaning of “contract” is making or becoming smaller or shorter. Well, I think that all of us did very well. Now please read these words after me.Step Vocabulary

22、Ask the students to read the sentences in Activity 1 on page 41, and then pick out the correct ones. At the same time ask them to pay attention to the new words. At last check the answers to Activity 1 with the whole class.For Activity 2, ask the students to work in pairs to finish the task. If poss

23、ible, ask them to give their rea-sons for doing so. For Activity 3， give the students more words to help them know that materials are around all of us, and we should use them correctly and reasonably. T: As the saying goes: Birds of a feather flock together or things of one kind come together. Now w

24、ell put the words in Activity 2 in pairs or groups, just like the pairs in Example. If possible, give your reasons to do so. It is a good chance for us to get familiar with these words. OK, Ill give you one or two minutes to do the job.Two minutes later.T: Have you finished the task?Ss: Yes.T: Whod

25、like to read out your answers?S1: Wed like to put air, gas and oxygen together, because all of them are gas. And we put earth, sun and moon together, because all of them are planets.T: Quite right. How about you two boys answers?S2: We put gas, liquid, and solid together, because we think they are t

26、he three states of substance. And we also put contract and expand together. The two words have opposite meanings.T: Im very glad that you can finish the task so quickly and correctly. Well, all of us know that we are living in a material world. Without these materials, whether natural or man-made, w

27、ell have nothing to eat, to live in, to use, to wear and so on. Now, lets look at these words: electricity, iron, metal, steel, air, and glass in Activity 3. You have to tell which of them are natural, which of them are man-made and which of them can be both.S3: Air, iron and some metals are natural

28、. Steel, some metals and glass are man-made. And electricity can be man-made and natural.T: Why do you think electricity is both man-made and natural?S3: Because in a storm, we can see lightening in the sky. While the electricity we are using in everyday life is from electric works. So I think elect

29、ricity is both man-made and natural.T: Well, its a good answer. OK, can you say some other things that are man-made?Ss: There are too many such things.T: Give us some examples.S4: Cars, machines, man-made satellites, plastics and so on.T: Do you know man-made beauty?

31、ith a pretty face. Step Reading (Passage A)There are three activities in this part: Activity 1: find the correct order to describe the stages of a scientific experiment; Activity 2, find the best title for the passage; Activity 3, answer some questions about the passage.Task 1: Activity 1 T: Well, i

32、f you were an engineer, you would take part in the experiment of making Shen Zhou Flight. What kind of materials would you like to use?S1: Id like to use some materials that are light enough and hard enough, so that the flight can be easily sent up into space, and doesnt get in trouble.T: How can we

33、 find such kind of materials?S2: We can do some experiments. We cant use natural materials only; we need both man-made and natural materials.T: Thats right. Now well read a passage about a scientific experiment. Please turn to page 44. Well go through Passage A. When we are doing a thing, we should

34、do it in an orderly way. Its especially true with a scientific experiment. Now lets see the four words in the table: conclusion, aim, result and method. The four words are about the orders or stages of a scientific experiment. We must know these two words: result and method. What are the meanings of

35、 the other two words?S3: “Aim” should be about what the experiment is for. For “conclusion”, I have no idea.T: Right. “Aim” means purpose or object. For example, he has only one aim in life, that is, to be a millionaire. And for “conclusion”, lets see an example first, when you have worked on a math

36、s problem for a long time, but you still cant work it out. So you may make a conclusion that the problem is wrong. Here, “the problem is wrong” is your conclusion. Do you understand?Ss: Yeah!T: Now who can give us some other examples to show the meaning of “aim”?S4: Many people aim to be a millionai

37、re. But I think to serve people is the highest aim.T: What is the correct order of stages to do an experiment?Ss: It should be aim, method, result and conclusion.T: Thats right. Without aim, we dont know where to go; without method, we dont know how to do things well; without result, well draw a bla

38、nk or gain nothing; without conclusion, well find what weve done is worth nothing. Task 2: Activity 2Ask the students to scan Passage A and find the best title for the passage.T: Please look at Activity 2. What you should do is to scan Passage A and decide which is the best title for the passage.Giv

39、e the students some time to do the job and then check the answer.T: Well, whats the best title for the passage?S4: The Reaction of Metals.T: Why?S4: The writer begins the passage by introducing the different uses of different metals. But for the rest part of the passage, including the table, he / sh

40、e mainly describes several metals reaction with different substances.T: What a good reason it is! Now, lets look at Activity 3.Task 3: Activity 3Ask the students to read and answer the questions below the passage. Give them some time to do the job. After that, check the answers with the whole class.

41、 Step Reading (Passage B)In this part, the students will read the passage and then fill in the table below the passage.There are three Tasks in this part. The first one is to ask the students to find the structure of the passage and finish the table. The second one is to deal with Activity 5. The th

42、ird one is to finish Activity 6.Task 1: Structure of the passageT: Now, well continue to read Passage B. The title of it is A Simple Scientific Experiment. From the passage we can see how the experiment is done. What is the structure of a description of experiment? Who can come to the blackboard to

43、write down the structure?S: Let me try.A student comes to the blackboard and writes down the structure.A Simple Scientific Experiment: Introduction Aim Apparatus Method Result ConclusionT: OK. We should notice that there are 3 different reactions which are respectively described with method, result

44、and conclusion. Now, please read the passage and then fill in the table. Let the students do the job, and then check the answers with the whole class.T: Well, what is ordinary water according to the experiment?S6: I think ordinary water here means the water that has not been boiled, and has air in i

45、t.T: Right. We also call ordinary water “raw water”. Now whats “Bunsen burner”? We often find it in labs. Now, turn to page 46, and find the picture of Bunsen burner.Task 2: Activity 5T: Now please turn to page 46. Look at Activity 5. Read Passage B again. Complete the sentences.After the students f

46、inish the sentences, ask some of them to read out the complete sentences and check the answers with the whole class.Task 3: Activity 6This part is about vocabulary study. Let the students read after the teacher, and then work in pairs to find the meanings of the new words.Explanations of some words:
