Explore Your World …Think Like a Scientist

The Student Science Fair offers a great way for you to put your science knowledge to use!

Science Fair Events

There is plenty to do during the science fair. Of course, you will want to take a look at all of the students’ projects. There will be other exciting things too. These events will highlight(亮点)the wonderful world of science. The announcement of the winners will take place at the awards ceremony(典礼)on Friday afternoon. Several of the other events are listed below.

Meet a Robot!

Can people and robots work together? The answer is “Yes”. Scientists will be at the fair on Thursday October 30, with Modo. Modo is a robot helper being developed to help people with jobs they do. Let’s learn how Modo’s large blue eyes are able to “see” things. Watch Modo take and hold objects and move them from side to side. Then see how Modo puts the objects on a shelf. Touch Modo on the arm. Watch what happens! It will respond to your touch. If you push it too hard, it will say, “Ouch”!

Our Own !

As is known to all, William Shakespeare is well-known to almost all writers while Thomas Edison is familiar to the inventors. Here comes our local Thomas Edison. Make sure you’re in the gym at 10:00 a.m. on Friday. That’s when local genius Ray Allen will give a talk about his life as an inventor. He will also show what his inventions can do.

【题目】Mind Maps

Mind maps are a great way of showing a picture of information that you need to learn. You can use mind maps for all kinds of learning. They work very well for vocabulary when you are learning a new language.

1 Draw a circle in the middle of the page and write the vocabulary subject in the middle. For example:

transport

2 Brainstorm some word groups for ‘transport’ and think of headings for each one. For example:

sea transport

land transport

air transport

For each one, draw a short line from the centre circle outwards. Add another circle and write the new group word in the middle.

3 Look at each group and try to add more groups. For example, in ‘land transport’ there are two sub-groups;

●road

●rail

Draw two more lines, add two more circles and write the two new headings inside them.

4 When you can’t make any new groups, add a line for each word you know. Write the words along the lines or, if you have space, write them inside more circles.

5 As you learn new vocabulary, add it to the mind map.

6 To make the mind maps even better, use colour to show important ideas or parts of the map.

1The instructions above mainly show us __________.

A. what mind maps are B. how to draw mind maps

C. what mind maps can do D. how to make mind maps better

2What can we learn about mind maps?

A. Mind maps are usually started with a line.

B. Mind maps should be simple, with no colour.
