Module4 Great Scientists ReadingPart One Teaching DesignPeriod 1 Reading—The Student Who Asked Questions■Goals●To learn to read passages with the passive voice andby+-ing about great scientists●To learn to read with strategies■ProceduresStep 1: Warming up by defining sciencesBiochemistry: A branch of chemistry studying the chemical behavior in living beings. Biochemistry is not only interested in the individual chemical components but also their vital interplay.Biology: the science that deals with living things. It is broadly divided into zoology, the study of animal life, and botany, the study of plant life. Subdivisions of each of these sciences include cytology (the study of cells), histology (the study of tissues), anatomy or morphology, physiology, and embryology (the study of the embryonic development of an individual animal or plant). Also included in biological studies are the sciences of genetics, evolution, paleontology, and taxonomy or systematic, the study of classification.Botany: the scientific study of plant life. As a branch of biology, it is also sometimes referred to as plant science(s) or plant biology. Botany covers a wide range of scientific disciplines that study the growth, reproduction, metabolism, development, diseases, and evolution of plants.Genetics: scientific study of the mechanism of heredity. While Gregor Mendel first presented his findings on the statistical laws governing the transmission of certain traits from generation to generation in 1856, it was not until the discovery and detailed study of the chromosome and the gene in the 20th cent that scientists found the physical basis of hereditary characteristics.Zoology: The original branches of zoology established in the late 19th century such as zoo-physics, bionomics have largely been subsumed into more broad areas of biology which include studies of mechanisms common to both plants and animals.Chemistry: the science of matter and its interactions with energy and itself (see physics, biology). Because of the diversity of matter, which is mostly in the form of atoms, chemists often study how atoms interact to form molecules and how molecules(分子) interact with each other.Physics: the science of Nature in the broadest sense. Physicists study the behavior and properties of matter in a wide variety of contexts, ranging from the sub-nuclear particles from which all ordinary matter is made (particle physics) to the behaviorof the material Universe as a whole (cosmology宇宙论).Step 2: Before you readPlease go over the word list for this module, paying attention to the pronunciation of the word, the relationship between its pronunciation and its spelling.Step 3: While you read1.

Warming up1.Get 1-2 Ss to report to the class information of Copernicus( Who is he? What achievement did he make? When? …)2. BackgroundNicolaus Copernicus was a Polish astronomer (1473-1543). Born in Torun, he began his university studies in Krakow in 1491, where he studied canon law and Latin and Greek classics. However he also had an interest in mathematics and astronomy. After obtaining his degree of Doctor of Canon Law (教会法规博士学位)in Italy in 1503, Copernicus returned home to Warmia in Poland to serve as Canon (=priest) .In 1530, Copernicus completed his great work De Revolutionibus (《天体运行论》).Copernicus knew that these findings would lead him into trouble with the Roman Catholic Church (罗马天主教教徒), so he wasin no hurry to publish his theory. He only published it as he lay dying in 1543.Though Copernicus did not live to hear of its extraordinary impact, the book which first suggested that the Sun, not the Earth, is the centre of the universe is now recognized as one of the most influential scientific works of all time.3 Get Ss to give the names of the nine planets of the solar system .

I hope you will publish it for several reasons.I understand the problems with the present theory. The way the planets move is not what you would expect if the earth was the certre of the universe. It is also odd that the brightness of some stars seems to change. So I agree with you that we need a new theory.I know your observations have been very carefully carried out over many years. Now you must have the courage to publish them. Science can never advance unless people have the courage of their beliefs. I know youworry about what will happen if you publish your new theory. No matter how people oppose it, time will show if your ideas are right or wrong.So I hope you will feel you can publish your new theory.Yours sincerely,Zhang HuaStep 5.

The numbers following the dot are pronounced separately.For example:When you have the number 1.36 we say "One point three six."Interesting Numbers~ 0 ~~ 12 ~The number 12 is often represented as a dozen and the number 6 as a half dozen.For example:12 eggs= "A dozen eggs."6 eggs = "Half a dozen eggs."^~ 1 billion ~When is a billion not a billion?In British English billion traditionally means a million million = 1,000,000,000,000 = 1012 In American English billion means a thousand million = 1,000,000,000 = 109The American billion has become standard in technical and financial use.However, to avoid confusion it is better to use the terms "thousand million" for 109 and "million million" for 1012.“Milliard” is French for the number 109. It is not used in American English but is sometimes, but rarely, used in British English.▇Learning about phone numbersEach figure is said separately.24 - two fourThe figure 'O' is called oh.105 - one oh fivePause after groups of 3 or 4 figures (last group).376 4705 - three seven six, four seven oh fiveIf two successive figures are the same, in British English you would usually use the word double (in American English you would just say the figure twice)376 4775 - BE: three seven six, four double seven five376 4775 - AE: three seven six, four seven seven fivePeriod Four: Reading and writing—Stephen Hawking and Albert Einstein Goals●To learn read and write passages about scientistsProcedures▇Learning about Stephen HawkingBiographyThe first child of Frank and Isobel Hawking, Stephen was born in Oxford,England, on January 8, 1942—the 300th anniversary of Galileo Galilei's death.Hawking showed great talent in mathematics and physics at an early age. Hewas educated at St Albans School, in Hertfordshire, and at University College,Oxford, where he obtained a first-class honours degree in Natural Science. During this time, he had been particularly interested in thermodynamics, relativity theory, and quantum mechanics. He moved to Cambridge University to complete his PhD in cosmology at Trinity Hall. While at Cambridge in 1965, he married Jane Wilde, the daughter of Samantha Wilde, whom he had met at a New Year's party in St. Albans in 1963.Hawking was elected as one of the youngest fellows of the Royal Society in 1974, was appointed Commander of the British Empire in 1982, and became a Companion of Honour in 1989. He is a respected physicist, with many works recognized by both the International Association of Natural Physics and the American Physics-Astronomy Guild of Amherst.Research fieldsHawking's principal fields of research are theoretical cosmology and quantum gravity. In 1971, in collaboration with Roger Penrose, he provided mathematical support for the Big Bang theory of the origin of the universe; if the general theory of relativity was correct, the universe must have a singularity, or starting point, in space-time. Hawking also suggested that, after the Big Bang, primordial or mini black holes were formed. He showed that, neglecting quantum mechanical effects, the surface area of a black hole can increase but never decrease, derived a limit to the radiation emitted when black holes collide, and that a single black hole cannot break apart into two separate black holes. In 1974, he calculated that black holes thermally create and emit subatomic particles until they exhaust their energy and explode. Known as Hawking radiation, this theory was first to describe a mathematical link among gravity, quantum mechanics, and thermodynamics. In 1981, Hawking proposed that, although the universe had no boundary, it was finite in space-time; 1983 saw his mathematical proof of this theory.▇Reading a passage about Stephen HawkingYou are going to read the three-paragraph passage about Stephen Hawking and number the paragraphs in the correct order.▇Reading about Albert EinsteinAlbert Einstein (March 14, 1879–April 18, 1955) was a German-born Jewish theoretical physicist, who is widely regarded as the greatest scientist of the 20th century. He proposed the theory of relativity and also made major contributions to the development of quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, and cosmology. He was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize for Physics for his explanation of the photoelectric effect in 1905 (his "miracle year") and "for his services to Theoretical Physics."After his general theory of relativity was formulated in November 1915, Einstein became world-famous, an unusual achievement for a scientist. In his later years, his fame exceeded that of any other scientist in history. In popular culture, his name has become synonymous with great intelligence and even genius.Einstein himself was deeply concerned with the social impact of scientific discoveries. His reverence for all creation, his belief in the grandeur, beauty, and sublimity of the universe (the primary source of inspiration in science), his awe for the scheme that is manifested in the material universe—all of these show through in his work and philosophy.▇Writing a passage about Albert EinsteinAlbert Einstein changed science.Albert Einstein was born in Ulm, Germany, in Eighteen-Seventy-Nine. His father owned a factory that made electrical devices. His mother enjoyed music and books. His parents were Jewish but they did not observe many of the religion's rules.Albert was a quiet child who spent much of his time alone. He was slow to talk and had difficulty learning to read.When Albert was five years old, his father gave him a compass. The child was filled with wonder when he discovered that the compass needle always pointed in the same direction -- to the north. He asked his father and his uncle what caused the needle to move.Their answers about magnetism and gravity were difficult for the boy to understand. Yet he spent a lot of time thinking about them. He said later that he felt something hidden had to bebehind things.Period Five: CULTURAL CORNER—RocketsGoals●To read about rocketsProcedures▇Before you readPlease go over the word list for this module, paying attention to the pronunciation of the word, the relationship between its pronunciation and its spelling.▇While you read▇After you readCopy all the useful expressions into your Expression Book. You may make sentences with these▇Talking about rocketsPeriod Six: TASK—Preparing a radio biographyGoals●To learn to prepare a radio biography about a famous scientistProcedures▇Defining biographyBiography is an account of the series of events making up a person's life.Biography (from the Greek words bios meaning life, and graphein meaning write) is a genre of literature and other forms of media like film, based on the written accounts of individual lives. While a biography may focus on a subject of fiction or non-fiction, the term is usually in reference to non-fiction. As opposed to a profile or curriculum vitae, a biography develops complex insight and highlights different textures of personality including intimate details of experiences. ...▇Writing a radio biography about a famous scientistMarshal Nie Rongzhen (1899-1992)—founder of China's defense industryNie Rongzhen was born On December 29, 1899 in Jiangjin in Sichuan Province and died on May 14, 1992 in Beijing.He went to study in France in 1919, became a Communist there in 1922, and was sent to study in the former US in 1924, returning to China the following year.Beginning in 1927, Nie held a series of important positions in the Communist Party of China (CPC)-led armed forces, and in 1955 became one of the ten PLA officers with the rank of marshal. Nie became the chief of the country's defense industry in 1956, when he was made a vice premier and, concurrently, minister-in- charge of the science and technology commission and chairman of the science and technology committee of defense.The late marshal is remembered for his leading role in the development of China's nuclear and spaceprograms.Part Two: Teaching Resources for MODULE 4 Great ScientistsSection One: Background readings1.biologyBiology: the science that deals with living things. It is broadly divided into zoology, the study of animal life, and botany, the study of plant life. Subdivisions of each of these sciences include cytology (the study of cells), histology (the study of tissues), anatomy or morphology, physiology, and embryology (the study of the embryonic development of an individual animal or plant). Also included in biological studies are the sciences of genetics, evolution, paleontology, and taxonomy or systematics, the study of classification.2.botanyBotany is the scientific study of plant life. As a branch of biology, it is also sometimes referred to as plant science(s) or plant biology. Botany covers a wide range of scientific disciplines that study the growth, reproduction, metabolism, development, diseases, and evolution of plants.3. geneticsGenetics, scientific study of the mechanism of heredity. While Gregor Mendel first presented his findings on the statistical laws governing the transmission of certain traits from generation to generation in 1856, it was not until the discovery and detailed study of the chromosome and the gene in the 20th cent that scientists found the physical basis of hereditary characteristics.4. zoologyThe original branches of zoology established in the late 19th century such as zoo-physics, bionomics have largely been subsumed into more broad areas of biology which include studies of mechanisms common to both plants and animals.5. cash cropIn agriculture, a cash crop is a crop which is sold for money. The term is used to differentiate from subsistence crops, which are those fed to the producer's own livestock or grown as food for the producer's family.6. hybridhybrid , term applied by plant and animal breeders to the offspring of a cross between two different subspecies or species, and by geneticists to the offspring of parents differing in any genetic characteristic.7. PakistanThe Islamic Republic of Pakistan , or Pakistan is a country located in South Asia and overlaps onto the Greater Middle East and Central Asia. The country borders India, Afghanistan, Iran (Persia), China and the Arabian Sea.8. PhilippinesThe Republic of the Philippines is a nation in southeast Asia. It lies 1,210 km (750 mi) away from mainland Asia and consists of 7,107 islands that form part of the Malay Archipelago.9. cosmologyCosmology is the study of the universe in its totality and by extension man's place in it. Though the word cosmology is itself of fairly recent origin, first used in Christian Wolff's Cosmologia Generalis(1730), the study of the universe has a long history involving science, philosophy, esotericism, and religion.10. CambridgeThe city of Cambridge is an old English University town and the administrative center of the county of Cambridge shire. It lies approximately 50 miles (80 km) north-northeast of London and is surrounded by a number of smaller towns and villages. It is also at the heart of Silicon Fen, which has a reputation as the leading high-technology center of Britain and is one of the major constituent parts of the Oxford-Cambridge Arc.11.
