John Snow was a very famous doctor in London in 19th century. At the time he lived, cholera was the most frighteni
4、ng disease, which killed many thousands of people in the industrial cities of England. Nobody knew the cause of the disease. John Snow believed that cholera was caused by drinking polluted water. He believed that when dirty water from the toilet and drinking water were mixed, it was possible for the
5、 illness to be passed from one person to the next. In 1854, he was able to prove that his theory was correct. To do this he approached the problem in a systematic way. He found an outbreak of cholera and studied its effects on a small neighborhood. He gathered information about the drinking habits o
6、f the people and used them to justify his theory. He is important because he was the first person to gather information scientifically about a disease in order to find its cause.S2: OK. Id like to retell Snows work in the order of the stages. We know there were seven stages in his research. First Sn
7、ow, as well as other doctors could not find the cause of the cholera, nor the cure for it. He got interested in two theories. The first suggested that cholera multiplied in the air without reason. The second suggested that people absorbed this disease into their bodies with their meals. He believed
8、in the second theory. So he collected much information to prove it. He did a lot of research and experiments to analyze the results. All the results were the same: It is certain that the dirty water resulted in the disease. At last he could make a conclusion: It was the polluted water that caused th
9、e illness.Step Pre-readingAsk the students to look at the pictures on pages 7 and 45. And remind them of the common knowledge of “Sun-Centered Theory” and “the Euler path”.T: Today we are going to learn more about science and scientists. There are two pictures of the great scientists and the illustr
10、ations of their theory. You can discuss with your partners about them. Then tell me sth. about them.S1: We know the first picture is Copernicus. He was one of the first scientists to use mathematical observations to collect information. He believed the sun is the center of the universe and the earth
11、 and other planets went around it. The illustration shows his theory.S2: We guess the second picture is Lenohard Euler. Euler invented a new branch of mathematics topology by luck. The chart is about the “Seven Bridges of Konigsberg” and the famous “Euler path”.Step ReadingEncourage the students to
12、get the general ideas of the passages. T: In the last period, we have learned about how Doctor John Snow used seven stages to prove his conclusion and fulfilled his research. This period we will also deal with two scientific reports. Please read the two passages quickly and try to answer the questio
13、ns on the screen.Show the questions on the screen.1. Whats Copernicus fear?2. Whats Eulers puzzle?3. How did Copernicus prove his theory?4. How did Euler prepare for his research?5. What are their theories?Sample answers:S1: I have the answer. Copernicus found his theory was against the Christian ch
14、urchs saying. If he spoke out his finding, he would be punished severely.S2: I know Eulers puzzle. He found that he could cross six of the bridges without going over any of them twice or going back on himself, but he couldnt cross all seven.S3: Let me answer the third question. Copernicus had though
15、t long and hard about these problems which astronomers had noticed and tried to find an answer. He used all his mathematical calculations to work on these problems. He had collected observations of the stars for over ten years. All his calculations and observations proved that his theory was right.S
16、4: I would like to say something about Eulers research. The first stage in his research is to find the problem that he could cross six of the bridges without going over any of them twice or going back on himself, but he couldnt cross all seven. The second stage is to think of a method: He drew a map and used dots and lines to simplify his analysis. Trying and observing over and over agai
