If you want to learn the science subjects well, what else should you do besides the class learning?
We can learn the subjects well by ________.
Through a microscope

Describe what you see in each picture. What is it about?
…students at work in a chemistry lab
…students at work in a physics lab
…students looking at something through a microscope

What are the subjects in which you learn science?
What can you learn in your science classes?
physics
chemistry
biology

In chemistry we learn about the way different liquids and materials react with each other.
back

In physics we can learn about the laws of the universe , for example about Newton and the reason why all the things on earth fall down.
back

In biology we learn about life on earth, for example by looking at the structure of cells.

Do you often do experiments in the chemistry, or physics or biology lab?
What do you have to be careful with in a lab?

Do you still remember what your teacher often remind you before, when and after you do an experiment?
Listen to what Mrs. Zhu is talking to his students for the first time, focusing on the subjects mentioned in the passage.
Safety in the lab
Experiments
Long hair
Gases
Flames

Listen to the tape for the second time to write down some key words .

Wash
Turn off

Please check the answers:
(1)What is the most important thing students should remember?
Safety comes first!
(2) What is the first thing students should do when they come into the lab?
Follow the teacher’s instructions.
(3) Why should students be careful smelling from bottles?

Knowing the rules in a lab is very necessary
our safety.
Suppose you are a teacher and you are going to
to give them some instructions before an experiment.

1. It suddenly starts raining with thunder and lighting .What are the things you should do and what are the things you should not do?
2. You want to do a science experiment in a physics class.
Remember the safety instructions from the physics lab and
practise them in English.
3. You want to go on a hiking trip in the mountains . What are the things you should do and what are the things you should not do?
4. You want to do a science experiment in a chemistry class.
Remember the safety instructions from the chemistry lab and practise them in English.
