Freezing dissolve decrease sensitive stable absorb range float range: to vary within specified limits freezing: dissolve: to reduce (solid matter) to liquid form; melt float: to cause to remain suspended without sinking or falling decrease: to grow or cause to grow gradually less or smaller, as in number, amount absorb: to take something in stable: resistant to change of position or condition sensitive: responsive to external conditions stimulation Step 3 Fast Reading Answer the following questions: 1.What are the properties of water? 2.What does the earth look like? 3.What are different parts of the ocean? 4.What can the ocean be compared to? 5.How does the special air-conditioner—the ocean work? 6.What are some examples of species in the ocean? Find out as many words and phrases as possible about water properties in the text. True or false: （T）1．Water is a liquid at room temperature, and it has a relatively high freezing point. 2．The reason why water can dissolve most substances on earth is that water has high heat capacity. 3.Like all the other substances, water gets smaller (contract 缩小) when it freezes. (T) 4.Pure water has a higher freezing point and lighter than salt water. (T) 5.The salinity of the earth’s oceans is about 3.5%. 6.When water freezes, its density increases. 7.Other recourses such as oil, gas, gold etc is as precious as a drop of rain. Who can tell me the general idea of the text? The passage mainly tells us it is water that makes the ocean so important to all the living things in the world. Step 4 Careful Reading Find out some basic facts about life in the oceans Basic facts about life in the oceans from the opening paragraph : Life on earth began in the oceans about three billion years ago; 99% of the living space on earth is in the oceans; There are about five million (known) species in the oceans; Life in the oceans ranges from tiny plankton to giant whales. Step 5 Activity 3. Finding Topic Sentences Topic Sentence of the text: Paragraph: 7 Sentence:Learning about the properties of water helps us understand life on our planet. Topic Sentence of CHEMICAL STRUCTURE: Paragraph: ____2____ Sentence: The chemical structure of water makes it an excellent medium for life. Topic Sentence of SALINITY: Paragraph: __3____ Sentence: The salinity of the earth's oceans is about thirty-five parts per thousand, meaning that there are about thirty-five grammes of dissolved solids and gases in one kilogramme of water. Topic Sentence of DENSITY: Paragraph: ___4_____ Sentence:The density of pure water is 1,000 kg/m3, meaning that one cubic metre of water weighs one thousand kilogrammes. Topic Sentence of HEAT CAPACITY: Paragraph: __5______ Sentence:Heat capacity is the amount of energy it takes to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree centigrade. Topic Sentence of OCEAN MOTION: Paragraph: __6______ Sentence:Since changes in salinity and temperature affect water's density, the water in the ocean is always moving. Paragraph 1. marine life: (definition based on the text) Ninety-nine percent of the living space on earth is in the oceans. incredibly: unbelievably doubtfully extremely questionably Life in the oceans ranges from the tiniest plankton all the way up to giants like sharks and whales. (paraphrase) A diverse world Natural selection Life first appeared in the blue seas. 99% of the living space on earth is in the oceans. What does this fact result in? Marine life is incredibly rich and varied. Can you give some specific numbers or examples? 5 million species in the oceans What does this fact imply? Do you agree Paragraph 2. H2O:2_______________ + 1____________ = 1___________ medium: average channel means condition polar: + – ↑ ↓ positive end: + – ↑ ↓ negative end: + – ↑ ↓ Normal state of water: solid liquid gas Why is the chemical structure of water important? 1. Because water is polar, it can break down both solids and gases. 2.The nutrients in whatever falls into the ocean quickly become available to other living creatures. 3. The chemical structure of water also makes it different from almost everything else on earth.The nutrients in whatever falls into the ocean quickly become available to other living creatures. (paraphrase) Water is an excellent medium for life. Why do you agree with it? 1.Water is a liquid at room temperature and has a relatively high freezing point; 2.All living creatures need food to survive, but on many occasions the nutrients become available to living things only when they are dissolved by water. Water’s unique chemical structure Can you give some other examples which are also resulted from water’s unique chemical structure? 1.We can get a lot of nutrients by drinking soup. 2.Plants can pull water up their roots via a capillary(毛细管) process. Paragraph 3. sea water (salt water) =dissolved gases+ dissolved solids +pure water salinity of sea water affects: weight and freezing point salinity of sea water: 35‰ 35% The salinity of the earth’s oceans is about 3.5%. What does this mean? There are about thirty-five grams of dissolved solids and gases in one kilo of water. In winter water in some containers or small rivers often freezes while that in seas not? Can you explain it? 1.The salinity of sea water can affect the freezing point of water. 2.Sea water has a lower a freezing point, so even when the temperature of sea water falls below 0℃, sea water is still liquid. Paragraph 4. Factors of density: mass and volume Unit of density: kg/m3= kilogrammes per cubic metre Density of pure water: 1,000 kg/m3=one cubic metre of water weighs one thousand kilogrammes When water freezes, its density decreases. If it did not, the oceans would be frozen solid. (paraphrase) What is density? Density is the relationship between mass and volume and is measured in kg/m3, reading kilos per cubic meter . The density of water is 1,000 kg/m3. Does it also goes for the phenomenon that ice looks larger than water does? Ordered molecular structure of frozen water (ice) Semi-ordered molecular structure of liquid water What do different densities in the ocean result in? Water in the ocean is always moving. What phenomena can this result help us explain? Please give examples. 1.Ocean motion helps move nutrients around and adds energy to the marine ecosystems. 2.Different marine creatures live in different levels of the ocean. (Because of the foods they need, sunshine etc.) Paragraph 5. Heat capacity: water temperature substanc energy Opposite word/phrase of absorb: give off change create Paragraph 6. How does the water in the ocean move? Dense water sinks and less dense water is pushed to the surface. Paragraph 7. Main idea: significance of water to nature Water, which seems so simple and common, is what makes life possible. Of all the resources on earth -- oil, gas, gold and so on -- nothing is as precious as a drop of rain. (paraphrase) Read following statement and think what conclusion you can draw? Or what property does it refer to? It is said that a man of 60kg loses about 1L water through breath and skin evaporation (皮肤蒸发) every day. In other words, 539kcal heat is released in these two ways. If so much heat were kept in human body, it would raise body temperature by 9℃. Can you imagine the result? Water has a relatively high heat capacity and can accommodate the climate automatically. It can absorb and release a lot of heat without big changes in its temperature, thus creating a stable environment. Here are some more familiar phenomena, what property of water are they related to? 1.The coastal areas are often neither too hot nor too cold. 2.Ice floats on water. 3.When the sea water in a container is evaporated (蒸发), there will be some salt left. 4.Irrigate in winter can help raise the soil temperature. 5.People swimming in the Dead Sea float; they can even read a paper while lying on their back in the water. Homework Try to think as many examples as possible to show that water is made use of to bring benefit to human beings.

Step 8 Activity 6. Summary Features of Science Exposition：A. Sentence Structure:B. Vocabulary:C. Tense: D. Text Structure: INTEGRATING SKILLS Teaching Aims: 1. Review modal verbs 2. Do some exercises to review Teaching Important Points: Review modal verbs Teaching Difficult Points: How to help the students correctly use the modal verbs Teaching Methods: 1. Review method to help the students remember all the modal verbs 2. Individual work or group work to make every student work in class Teaching Aids: 1. the multimedia 2.the blackboard Teaching Procedures: READING:NATURE'S NURSERY: ESTUARIES Step 1 Lead-in 1.How much do you know about them? Is the economy there well-developed or not? 2. Which city is the most developed? Why? 3.Can you tell what map it is? Where is it? 4.Is the water here salty or fresh? 5.What’s the place where river and the ocean meet? Step 2 Skimming: Find the definition of an estuary An estuary is the body of water where a river meets the ocean. Salt water from the ocean and fresh water from the river mix together in an estuary. This mixing of fresh and salt water creates a unique environment filled with life of all kinds－a zone between the land and sea. What kinds of function of estuaries have been mentioned in the passage? 1.Great places for nature’s young animals clean our water by absorbing nutrients and pollutants from water coming from inland sources; 2.Provide both recreation and education for human beings. Discussion: 1.What living conditions do you think are needed for nature’s young ones? 2.Do estuaries have such conditions for them? Step 3 Scanning Read the passage and answer the following questions. 1. Why are estuaries such good places for nature’s young ones? In estuaries, animals can enjoy all the benefits of the oceans without having to face many of its dangers. Tides provide energy for the ecosystems, but estuaries are protected from waves and storms by islands, mud or sand. Nutrients from both the land and the ocean arrive in estuaries. 2. What does density mean in this passage?It means the number of species per area. 3. How do you estuaries affect the water that passes through them? They absorb nutrients and pollutants from water coming inland sources, thus cleaning our water. 4. Why are estuaries more sensitive to pollution than other areas? Because estuaries act as filters(过滤器), many pollutants end up in them. 5. Why are estuaries important to human beings? ① Estuaries provide both recreation and education for human beings. People can fish, swim and have fun on the beach. Scientists and students have endless opportunities to study a variety of life in the habitat. ② Estuaries also contribute to the economy through tourism and fishing Finish the following passage with words from the text. Estuaries are bodies of water along coasts that are formed (形成) when fresh water from rivers flows into and _mixes with salt water from the ocean. In estuaries, the fresh river water is blocked from streaming into the open ocean by either surrounding mainland, or islands. This mixing of fresh and salt water creates a unique environment filled with life of all kinds — a zone between the land and sea known as an estuary. The estuary gathers and holds a variety of life－giving nutrients from the land and from the ocean, forming an ecosystem that contains more creatures than any other habitat on the earth. Estuaries are also important for human beings. They protect water quality by absorbing pollutants from water coming from inland sources. They are centers for entertainment (娱乐) and education. Estuaries, in short, are treasures. Step 4 Activity 1. Finding Topic Sentences Topic Sentence of Paragraph: _1____ Sentence:As the oceans are the source of life on earth, the estuaries are our planet's nurseries. Topic Sentence of Paragraph: _2____ Sentence: Estuaries are great places for nature's young ones Topic Sentence of Paragraph: __3___ Sentence:Estuaries are also important because they absorb nutrients and pollutants from water coming from inland sources, thus cleaning our water.

Answering the questions 1Why are estuaries such good places for nature's young ones? 2 What does density mean in this passage? 3 How do estuaries affect the water that passes through them? 4 Why are estuaries more sensitive to pollution than other areas? 5 Why are estuaries important to human beings? Step 7 Activity 4. Word Study Pollutant ：something that pollutes, especially a waste material estuary：the body of water where a river meets the ocean recreation：refreshment of one's mind or body after work through activity that amuses or stimulates mammal：warm-blooded vertebrate animals reproduce：to generate (offspring) by sexual or asexual means. erosion腐蚀, 侵蚀：the process of eroding or the condition of being eroded Step 8 Writing Tip 1 If you are describing a process, 1.You should explain each step in the order it happens. 2.Tell the readers about the causes and effects and use words like first, second, then, etc to show the order of the steps. First…Second…Third/ Then…Last… Tip2 If you are writing about something that has several parts, describe each part and explain its function and structure. The following questions may help: 1.What is it ? How many parts is it made up of? 2.What‘s the structure of each part? How does it work? 3.What’s the function of the thing? Imagine that your science teacher ask you to explain one of the following questions: 1.Why does an ice cube float? 2.What will happen to a piece of metal if you put it in water? 3.Why do so many species live in estuaries? 4.Why have so many cities been built by estuaries?
