16、 procedures & ways教学过程与方法Step I Warming upTalk about inventions and discoveries.T: The importance of inventions to social progress can never be changed. Ench invention carries the world a step forward and provides stimulation for later ones. Whit inventions turning up all the time, our world is alwa

17、ys taking on a new look. But do you know what an invention is?S1: The creation of something newS2: A creation (a new device or process) resulting from study and experimentation.S3: The creation of new things. Ask the students to talk about the pictures with the teachers help, and then discuss the fi

18、rst two questions.T: And what is a discovery? Whats the difference between a discovery and an invention? Now look at the pictures on page 1. Work in pairs and talk about the three different things, telling them apart and giving reasons.Show the following.1. Which o these pictures show inventions? Do

19、es any of them show discoveries?2. Work out two rules that will help you decide what is a discovery and what is an invention?S1: I think the first two are inventions, i. e. the amphibious car and Stevensons “Rocket” while the last picture about the DNA is a kind of discovery. Because the first two p

20、roducts were quite new to people at that time and no one had ever seen or designed such kind of vehicles before though some others had made similar cars or machines which had less functions and advantages as these two. I think the picture about the DNA is a kind of scientific discovery in biology be

21、cause such cells and their structure do exist in living creatures and they have been found out by a certain scientist and are made known to the public nowadays. So I think a discovery is something existing before but unknown while an invention is something unknown and not existing before.S2: I think

22、 the first two pictures show us great human inventions about the transportation because they were invented by people for certain purposes and they had special advantages and could satisfy peoples needs in some ways. On the other hand the third picture showing the formation of DNA is a kind of discov

23、ery because these special cells exist and function in the body of life all the time no matter who discovers it or when and where it is discovered. In my opinion a discovery is something found out or brought to view now but it was unknown before while an invention is something created or designed by

24、people, which is completely new not only now but in the past.T: Well, from these pictures we can see that there lies differences between a discovery and an invention. There are certain rules or questions you should pay attention to while distinguishing them. Did it exist in the past? Is it created o

25、r developed by people? An invention is something that is created by a human being, such as the lightning rod. To the contrary, a discovery merely makes known something that already existed in nature, such as the discovery on the New Continent by Columbia. OK. Lets go on with some other questions of

26、this part. You may talk with your partner first before we have a check five minutes later.Show the following.What modern inventions do you know? Describe them to your partner and how useful they are in life today.S1: Adidas 1 is the thinking shoes with a built-in microprocessor that decides how soft

27、 or firm the wearer needs the support. It has been chosen by Popular Science magazine as the best recreation invention of 2004. It is very comfortable to wear it all day without worrying about your toes being hurt and you can adjust the height and stiffness according to your demands whenever you wan

28、t and wherever you go. Thus it is a very practical choice for both the young and the old when having exciting sports outdoors or resting at home during holidays.S2: Camera phones have opened up a new way to communicate. Because many of them look like regular cell phones, you can snap pictures as dis

29、creetly as any spy and, with the push of a few buttons, pop them into an e-mail or upload them to the Web in less than a minute. No wires or to the Web in less than a minute. No wires or computer hookups necessary. To be sure, most camera phones end up taking pictures of friends family, babies and p

30、ets. But they have also been used to snap pictures of VIPs at private parties, copy recipes from cookbooks at bookstores and even document crimes in progress. But with an estimated 80 million camera phones sold in 2003, 6 million in the U. S. alone the cat may already be out of the camera bag. Like

31、it or not, these camera phones have been very popular and widely used by people even today.S3: A kind of robot heart called AbioCor was invented in 2001. On July 2, 2001, the 59-year-old grandfather and retired librarian Robert Tools became the first human to get one. Its been long since the operati

32、on, and Tools new heart is still beating. He can walk a city block without stopping and hes even making plans for the future. Though not everybody needs a new heart, hundreds of thousands eventually may. Nor will an artificial heart rid the world of sickness or poverty or terror. But sometimes it really helps.T: Very good! I am glad to see that all of you have known so many modern inventions both at home and abroad and you have thought a lot about them. Its
