Period 1 Warming up & Listening
Learning Aims
1.To encourage the students to think and talk about their science subjects and activate their relevant vocabulary at the same time.
2.To learn what should be paid attention to when doing an experiment in a lab and how to give instructions to others.
3.To train the students’ ability of listening for information.
Learning Procedures
Step 1 Warming up
Today, we are going to talk something about the subjects you are learning.
Q1: How many subjects are you learning now?
Q2: What are the subjects in which you learn science? Is it easy for you to learn them?
1). Group work
Divide the whole class into two groups, one group is going to talk about the question “ What do you learn about for each field of science?”, and the other “How are you learning these subjects?” Write down the result of the discussion in a card, and choose the best member to do the report.
2). Class work
Enjoy some pictures about the facilities in labs and students doing experiments in labs.
Q: Which subjects are connected with these pictures? Do you often do experiments in the lab?
Step2 Pre-listening
1).Group work
Is it necessary for you to do experiments in the lab? List the reasons in the card and see which group can find more.
2).Class work
Do you still remember what your teacher often remind you before, when and after you do an experiment? Divide the whole into several groups to have a competition in class and see which group will win the game.
Step 3 Listening
1). Listen to what Mr. Zhu is talking to his students for the first time, focusing on the subjects mentioned in the passage.
2). Listen to the tape for the second time to write down some key words to the questions and check with the partners.
