                                                                        Procedure

I.Introduction   

1. Greeting

T. Slide #1.  The topic of today’s lesson is “Science”.

2. Aim of the lesson

T. During the lesson you will

                                      - to learn what is Science

                                      - to review Past Passive

                                      - to learn about science in Ukraine and some Ukrainian scientists

T. Slide #2. In the words of Karl Popper, "Science is a history of corrected mistakes", and even Albert Einstein remarked of himself "That fellow Einstein . . . every year retracts what he wrote the year before". (more definitions of science, technologies, natural world, science)

T. Slide # 3. A Gentle Genius Albert Einstein said: “Science is a powerful instrument. How it is used depends on man himself, not on the instrument. A knife is useful for the lives of people, but it can be also used to kill.”

II.Warming up

T. New inventions are appearing every day and make our life easier, longer, warmer,….

Slide # 4 . Your task is to look at the table and make up sentences about inventors and their inventions:

Make up Sentences
The name of inventor	Branch of science	Invention	When was it invented?
Rudolf Diesel	physics	Diesel engine	1897
Hans Wilhelm Geiger	physics	Counter for detecting radioactivity	1908-1909
Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen	physics	X-rays	1895
Adolph Sax	music	Saxophone	1842

III.Main part of the lesson:

1.       Vocabulary

T. There are a lot of branches of science. Do you know some of them?

P. biology, physics, music, etc.

T. Slide # 5. Look at the table . Match the sciences with their definitions.

¨  Chemistry     a) science about the earth

q  Biology          b) science about the structure of

q  Physics               substances

q  Botany           c) science about plants and         

q  Geology             their structure

                                       d) science about the life of plants

                                            and animals

T. Slide # 7. Your task is to fill in the missing words

.

Noun	Noun

2.       Grammar

T. On the previous lessons we have spoken about Past Passive.

Slide # 8. Tell me please, how do we form Past Passive?

¨  Form:

¨  Positive     was/were + Past Participle

¨  Negative    wasn’t/weren’t + Past Participle

¨  Questions   was/were + subject + Past Participle…?

T. Slide # 9. Tell me please, how do we use Past Passive?

¨  Use:

¨  To focus on what we are talking about

¨  When we don’t know the doer

¨  When it is understood who did the actions

¨  We can use by + person or thing if we wish to say who or what does the action

3.       Writing

T.  Slide # 10. Open your copy- books, write the date of today. Your task is to write sentences using the Past Passive of the verbs in brackets.

¨  The first plastic (make)…in 1855 in England.

¨  Penicillin (discover)…by Alexander Fleming.

¨  The dishwasher (design)…by Mrs.W.A.Cockran.

¨  “The Origin of Species” (write)…by Charles Darwin.

¨  The helicopter (invent)…by Igor Sikorskyi in 1939.

T. Now you will have individual work.

Slide # 11. Use the verbs from the box and match each invention with their inventor

Make, discover, design, create, invent
The first flight	By Columbus
America	By Karl Benz
The first popular car	By the Japanese company Sony
Lego building bricks	By the Wright brothers
The first Walkman and portable disc player	By the Christiansen family in Denmark
