Step I Warming up
1.T: There are many outstanding scientists in the world, who made great contributions to society and science. Now look at the pictures on page 1, tell me  what are these scientists famous for?
 (Bb) Scientists                Contributions
Maria Curie                   Radium /Polonium
Albert Einstein                The Theory of Relativity
…
2.T: Well done. I think you are all interested in science and scientists. What do you think makes a successful scientist? Have a discussion in pairs or groups of four. Then report the results of your discussion.
(It is the way he uses his tools that makes a successful scientist.
A successful scientist must have much imagination and intelligence and he must be creative and hard-working.
A successful scientist must be confident, curious and careful. But what I like to know is what made him/her interested in science…)
T: Now look at the quotes on page 1.do you know what they mean? And do you agree?
天才就是百分之九十九的汗水加上百分之一的灵感。
想象力比知识更重要。
生活中没有什么可怕的东西，只有需要理解的东西。
分析明显存在的事物需要非凡的头脑。
你不可能把一切教给一个人，你只能帮助他在他自己的认知范围内去发现和了解事物。
T: Do you know any other quotes about science and thinking?
  Wisdom is only found in truth.  -- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
  Knowledge is power.  –Francis Bacon.
Step II Listening
T: OK. Now lets do some listening practice on P2. We are going to listen to the descriptions of some famous scientists. Read the requirements by yourselves quickly. Listen to the tape for the first time to get a general idea, and then try to finish the exx.
Step III Speaking
T: Now let’s look at the speaking part on P2. Work in groups of five. Each group member represents a branch of science, eg biology, maths, chemistry, physics, computer science. You are going to debate each other to see which branch of science is the most important and useful for society. First you should decide who will represent each branch and then prepare your role card to debate. You can use the expressions.
