教学过程
Step 1 Lead-in
Have students answer two questions:
1. Have you ever thought about moving to another planet?
2. If so, where do you think humans could possibly move to live?
Step 2 Preparation
As a class, discuss the seven planets and the Moon in the solar system, where humans could possibly move to live. Then in groups, choose one to research. Before this task, the teacher has students learn the names of the heavenly bodies in the solar system.
Step 3 A task
As a group, have students work in groups to do research on the chosen heavenly body and brainstorm the challenges it will present. Try to think of solutions to the challenges. Use the ideas below to help students.
· Basic information (size, distance from the Sun/Earth, surface features, climate, water, atmosphere, etc.)
· Challenges (resources, food supply, radiation, communication with the ground, etc.)
· Solutions
Step 4 Learn about Mars
The teacher shows a picture about Tianwen-1. Tianwen-1, China‘s first interplanetary expedition, has spectacularly conquered a new major milestone, with its lander-rover combination successfully soft-landing at the planned site on Mars on May 15, 2021, according to the China National Space Administration (CNSA).
From the first video, students can learn that
· Mars is the nearest planet to the Earth.
· Mars is the second smallest planet in the solar system.
· Like Earth, Mars has volcanoes, valleys, polar ice
