Astronomy,2,3,* 教学目标 Teaching aims: 1能够辨认文中有关天文学的重点词汇和术语，如system, theory, atmosphere, fundamental, in time, give birth to, in ones turn, preventfrom等； 2理解文章结构和内容，理清地球上生命的起源和生物进化的过程。 3运用top-down的阅读方法，先整体把握文章，再细化寻找信息；使用不同的阅读技巧，如predicting、skimming、scanning等获取相关信息，概括理解段落大意，完成流程图； 4通过小组讨论，讨论生命进化的过程和保护环境的措施，锻炼思维能力和口头表达能力。,本单元的中心话题是“天文学”，内容涉及太阳系、地球生命的起源、宇宙大爆炸、月球探秘、黑洞效应等。这些话题较抽象、较难理解，因此，如何通过第一课时的设计，把抽象的内容形象化，基本扫清学生阅读和表达等障碍，显得尤为重要。Reading部分主要是通过对宇宙大爆炸理论进行科学性分析，推断出地球上生命的起源以及生物进化的过程。学生能够结合已有知识和生活常识来理解相关问题，并针对文章中的一些发人深省的探讨性问题展开讨论，如：The earth may become too hot to live on, so what will our future be? 通过这些讨论，学生能更好地了解我们生活的地球环境，同时也能激起了解和探究科学的兴趣与热情。,ET外星人01,A_ is a _ of science which studies the whole universe,_ the stars, planets, the moon and etc.,branch,including,stronomy,What is Astronomy?,How many planets circle around the sun in the solar system now?
